Thank you for this.

Fortunately for us we’ve got dipshit folks from the South who love nothing more than to constantly re-live a war that they lost. I think there’s some kind of invisible barrier that removes irony from people when they cross the Mason-Dixon.

I agree except for the AIDS thing. AIDS isn’t airborne.

Yeah he was...the book somewhat focuses on the problem of private prisons, but definitely many, many of the issues he brings up are applicable to state and federal prisons as well. I forget the precise number but I believe it’s something along the lines of 10% of prisons (most of them state rather than federal if I’m…

I feel like the delay was actually caused when he looked down and realized he was wearing 2 different sets of old women’s curtains from the 1950s as pants and then when he attempted to change, just got caught up in his 1950s letterman jacket and couldn’t figure any of it out. The delay was further exacerbated by the…

A full million out of 80 on a Hornet is one of the seats? Jesus

Yeah but most of them aren’t being paid to NOT play which I believe was what Rhayader was getting at.

Are you saying we should all...conspire...To purchase it?

I imagine some of you have already heard of it, but if you haven’t, and you’re somehow not completely disgusted with the prison system yet, I suggest reading “American Prison” by Shane Bauer. Not only a pretty intense expose of the private prison nightmare, but also a very informative history of the penal system at…

That is actually not the worst plan...though I can’t see the O’s being OK with paying even MORE money than they already are, even if they got to do it over time. I think a Bonilla situation only happens once and now that everyone’s seen how it breaks down, that window may be closed forever.

Most accurately thrown ball by a Bledsoe in 25 years

Ahh I gotta go, my damn weiner kids are listening

Preach. So happy they’re back in the East so they can play Toronto and Montreal more (though maybe not so happy these last couple years when they’ve sucked harder than...something that sucks super hard).

Not sure what’s more sad: a guy dedicating a sports accomplishment (after it occurred, conveniently enough) to a rapper, or that a guy chose “Nipsey” as a rapper name.

I dunno, much as I loved Jose, the guy who hit only the 2nd walkoff World Series winning HR in the history of the game might have an edge on him.

Nothing could possibly top Bautista’s. It is the gold standard of bat flips, and perhaps, perhaps, one day, one might come close to equalling it, if it’s a WS winning HR or something, but none will ever better it.

I dunno, altering a field so that less soccer can be played on it? Sounds like a win to me.

+1 bad motoring and getting fingered by the cops

Yeah it consistently blows my mind that a sport that needs 40,000 people or more to fill it’s stadiums goes more and more out of its way every years to keep them from wanting to, and everything they build into the new stadiums is for some reason focused on watching the game on TV while being in the building where it’s…
