I guess I’d draw the distinction between whether something frequently involves corporations and exploitation, or requires it. Consumerism is all over American society, no doubt, but sneaker collecting stands out because it’s not like there are people hand-making their own shoes for the art of it.

I wonder if people are just comparing their refunds from last year to this year, and not taking into account that fewer taxes were taken out of their paychecks during 2018.

Ironically, Felix Jones was behind the register

How about the 1977 Steelers? Ernie Holmes on trial for cocaine possession. Jack Lambert demanding to be traded. To top it all off, Mel Blount suing Chuck Noll for $5 million and said he would never play for Noll again.

It is traditional in some Eastern art forms to allow one flaw, signifying the imperfection of this Floating World.

Big Oiler fan here.  Usually, when the opposition scores in OT my response is a loud curse.  After Sid did that, my response was a chuckle, and a “good for you Sid”.  If you didn’t enjoy that game, you don’t like hockey.

Well, he IS the best player in the game.

Counterpoint-

Sure its a nice TV, but Old Man Harbaugh always has it set on the history channel. 

Do you have mental problems? Roethlisberger didn’t even play last night. But don’t let that stop you from sucking TAWMMY’s dick for a few seconds.

nice photo of Tom Wilson you got there

You mean when he said: “The way our O-line is put together, as good as they are, they kept me healthy as can be the last couple of years. I really feel I can play this game another three to five years.”?

Yeah, fine, but Rosie Ruiz beat her time by more than 8 minutes.

A Pens/Knights Final would send hockey conspiracy nuts over the edge. It would rival St. Louis Cardinal Twitter.

Watching Crosby completely outclassing Giroux on the faceoff was fantastic.

This article in 3 sentences: “I want to live in NY and have access to its job market and lifestyle; but I don’t want to pay what it costs to live there. Sure, I could go to Pittsburgh and have a much lower cost of living; but I don’t find the lifestyle or job market as attractive. It’s all so unfair.”

Is that Tim Kurkjian’s hockey doppelganger?

Oh no...we’re not numb. It’s one thing to lose to the pens, the rangers, the flyers.....but the fucking BLUE JACKETS?! I know they nearly choked away a season to the leafs last year but if they blow it against the Blue Jackets, I’m burning my signed Ovechkin jersey. No offense to him of course, this isn’t to spite…

Sorry, but White Chocolate’s great:
