“Kick rocks you old bastard” is my favorite phrase in the whole exchange. That’s some classic stuff right there.

It depends on the circumstances I think. If he plays really well and controls his temper but just didn’t fit with Davis, it’s certainly possible. You don’t think there’s a chance a contender or star-hungry, tired of losing team would give up a better first-round pick and/or a more useful rotation player than Hield for…

Is he? What’s your evidence?

I’m not telling you what your personal preference should be. I’m just telling you that ESPN is doing what they’re doing because those shows bring in more viewers and advertising dollars. It’s why FS1 is using the same strategy. Numbers never lie, to borrow a phrase.

The assumption is that what the Pelicans gave up was not market value at all and the Kings just took a dumb trade because they’re the Kings. Vlade himself has said he had a better offer on the table a few days before and didn’t pull the trigger.

Yeah. I like Seinfeld, but it’s a dumb complaint. Finding jokes that make the particular audience you like laugh is the very definition of being a comedian. In fact, the audience you’re presenting to is one of the first things you have to consider as any kind of writer. If you can only make older adults laugh and not…

You don’t have to be “edgy” to make dumb, outdated jokes that modern audiences don’t find funny.

And who says they’re not?

The problem is that what people say about ESPN doesn’t match up with their actual viewing habits. They say they just want highlights and not talking head shows, but then they watch their highlights online and tune in everyday to hate watch Stephen A Smith.

They’re too low energy.

Yeah. And the fact that one of the main reason why beer and wine came to exist and were so prevalent in the ancient world is because they were safer to drink than the water.

I learned it by watching, you dad!

Well that gets into literalist interpretation of scripture versus figurative interpretation. That’s a whole separate conversation.

How else do you talk your kids into never touching the stuff if they can just say Jesus drank wine? You’ve got to twist scripture to confirm your beliefs. Just talked to my fundamentalist coworker about it and he said that “good wine” in that verse means unfermented wine. Apparently there was not a word for “grape…

Exactly. Especially since the passage in question is pretty explicit that his wine was better than what they’d been serving previously. They think it was some really premium grape juice that all the grape juice connoisseurs went crazy for? And someone in the story even comments that most people bring out the crappy…

You joke, but there are a lot of fundamentalists who believe that wine in Bible times wasn’t fermented and Jesus only drank grape juice. I guess they just ignore all of those verses about not being drunk with wine? Or assume there was a big market for non-alcoholic wine that Jesus was a part of?

Stop being an asshole fanboy. No one is being a “prick” here but you.

And the Switch has basically of those problems so far minus the technical issues. Whether it will have technical problems or not remains to be seen.

People absolutely complained about the Xbox One not being backwards compatible at launch. Do you not remember how much hate that console got for many of the exact same things you’re saying people ignored? Is your memory really that short? The reason the virtual console and backwards compatibility are an even bigger…

People wouldn’t be so upset about the lack of a virtual console if the Switch didn’t have such a tepid launch lineup. You can’t get crushed by other consoles in terms of specs, fail to secure widespread third party support, only release one high-profile in-house game at launch, charge more than the other game…
