Yeah, the title, lack of description on the podcast app, altered music, and “joining me for perhaps the final time...” all had me pretty terrified.

The fucked up thing about MMA is that while you could make a very good case that Penn is the biggest waste of talent ever in any field, you could also make an equally good case that he isn’t even the biggest waste of talent of any fighter. I mean, Jon Jones is like a preternatural fuck-up.

Well, there’s actually a very interesting and humorous story there. See, all of his siblings are also named Jay Dee, and he’s the youngest. Being the baby of the family, everyone called him Baby Jay.

In his defense, he’s also almost definitely done a shitload of cocaine.

Less of a conference than a start-up party, pegged vaguely to butt stuff,

I took a nap this afternoon, so I guess I missed the meeting where we all agreed that we can only care about one problem at a time. 

Any polygraph exposed to Darren Rovell instantly becomes self-aware and kills itself in horror at discovering this void, this cipher, that somehow manages to simultaneously believe everything and nothing it is saying.

Okay, so maybe *this* cynical “brand revival” is a soulless cash grab and devoid of any true connection to the original entity or its artistic works...but Nolan Bushnell definitely hand-printed the Atari logo shirt I bought at Target, right?

They’re hopping Not Mad.

Not everybody can be as thick-skinned as white male gamers, renowned for never throwing piss-baby temper tantrums about anything they don’t like.

Stick to studio versions!

In Texas, “forensic science” is just fancy Yankee talk for “pokin’ em with a stick an’ seein’ if they feel fresh.”

But Helwani seems to have a real…

Further proof that professional wrestlers are fashion trendsetters. I look forward to the upcoming Zubaz article.

I just do it directly into the washing machine. Much cleaner than handling the socks.

I recall a lot of kid-litigation over what constitutes a suicide. We seemed to settle on 4+ drinks, but then there were arguments about diet drinks and the letter of the law vs. the spirit of the law. The courts did not look favorably upon the kid calling Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, and a splash of root beer a…

I thought you guys had a good union, but if they let you do this to yourself, I don't think it's working correctly.

“The A’s sign a guy based off his performance in a fan contest, and everyone writes nice blogs about it. We did literally the exact same thing, more or less, and now all of a sudden we’re somehow considered ‘ghoulish,’ and ‘idiots’? Man, talk about bias.”
