They’re 30-22 and ninth-place Detroit is 26-26. Are we sure they’re making the playoffs?

This was a ridiculously easy draw. The 2014 US Open, while it was tougher, was still a very easy draw for him. Up until the semis he had only played two seeds—#17 Batista Agut and #20 Monfils (he was down two sets and I think he saved a match point in the fourth set of that one?), and if he’d beaten #14 Cilic in the…

Automatic upvote for Tarkus. Also Moanin.

I like Radiohead / Thom Yorke for work. You usually can’t really understand what he’s saying, so it’s not too distracting. I just discovered “Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes” and listen to it at least once a day.

This album is great—I still listen to it several times a week.

Are we talking about the year that Oklahoma State got shafted in favor of a boring rematch that no one wanted? Because if we are, then the answer is “Oklahoma State, duh.”

As a Bengals fan, I have fond memories of this game from that season, aka the “Turns out Johnny Manziel actually sucks!” game. Please note that the 7-6 Browns were actually favorites on the road at the 8-4-1 Bengals.

Hey shithead! Listen, I know I’m not going to change your mind—because of your head literally being made out of shit—but I just want you to know that you’re a fucking moron. That’s all.

I love that you say “community organizer” like it’s this terrible thing that shows how incompetent Obama was at politics, when our current president quite clearly has no fucking idea how to run a country. Granted, if being president was just about cosplaying a businessman on TV, or selling grade-B steaks and fake real…

Trump follows Obama and your take is “the adults are back in charge”?

Imagine if Dalton doesn’t hurt his thumb on a tackle near the end of the 2014-15 season. The Bengals were on their way to a first-round bye, and Dalton was (justifiably) getting MVP consideration.

Exactly my first thought. What an asshole.

The LeBron assist was the best, as you say, but JR Smith had a couple of really pretty ones. Usually I can tell who is about to get passed to, but he fooled me twice.

Well, there’s nothing funny about vapor lock.

Yeah, that one was not so great. I just started listening to his podcasts recently, and I think he can be very good at times, and for sure he’s much better at that format than anything he’s written in the last 5-10 years. It’s just that, as Deadspin is fond of pointing out, he goes back to his very limited well of…

I am so fucking sick of people who talk about games from 2006–2006!—as though it has any bearing on what should happen in 2018. Get a clue.

Probably true, but of course we all thought the same thing in 2014 when they were matched up in the CFP semis. Hard to say until you play the game.

I think that the bottom line is that they just want the four best teams, not the four best resumes. Because Ohio State’s “body of work” is clearly better than Alabama’s, but Alabama would be a (deserved) touchdown favorite over OSU on a neutral field.
