Someone above brought up the truly horrifying notion of this raising Dan Bernstein’s profile, the thought of which nearly made me sick. But Sarah Spain propelling into the national spotlight would be pretty great, she rocks

Oh god no. Please, no. No no no no no no no. Do not let his somehow propell Dan motherfucking Bernstein to some sort of national level of promenence, oh fuck I think I just threw up a little in my mouth thinking about it

No, the true measure of SEC bias is that Florida is ranked 11th. I was at the Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville this weekend and both teams are just complete and utter dogshit. It was one of the most boring football games I’ve ever watched at any level. Neither offense could do shit, and it wasn’t because the…

I know, and I empathize because I feel the exact same way

Educating your kids on gun safety may help prevent accidental shootings, but obviously won’t do anything to discourage intentional shootings (self-inflicted or otherwise)

I would like to find every single person who bullied this innocent child and beat them to death with a tire iron. Is that an overreaction? I don’t really think so

Hold on a second now. I grew up in Chicago, and despite being a north sider my dad had a college buddy who used to take me to Sox games at old Comiskey so I’m familiar with this 2nd Chicago baseball team you speak of. But I’m like 99% certain that they folded years ago, just closed up shop and left town.

Ok so this is completely besides the point, but uh

I dunno, I’d bet the over on that win total, but otherwise yeah

You’re not wrong, there’s a lot missing from this take. First off the walk of Heyward was a smart move that actually worked exactly as it was intended to - though Heyward had a down year at the plate he did actually start to heat up in September, and he had been swinging the bat well last night including socking a…

When Miggy damn near came out of his shoes swinging 2 feet over Blanton’s 0-1 slider I was screaming at him through my TV that he didn’t need a grand slam, just a single to drive in a run or 2. Sometimes being wrong is nice :-)

The walk of Hayward was to get a righty-on-righty match-up against Javy Baez with runners on 1st and 2nd instead of letting left-handed Jason Heyward, who’d already socked a triple earlier in the game, hit against a righty. That one actually worked out, as Javy was looking fastball but chased a slider out of the zone…

That’s Donald’s M.O. Not that I have any respect for Pence whatsoever, but I’d be willing to bet that he was basically just repeating Trump’s words and had no idea what the “proof” would be. Remember a few years ago when Donald held a press conference at which he promised huge news that would really blow the lid off…

I tought high school for 3 years before changing careers. It was far and away the hardest job I have ever had at any level, and I know it was infinitely easier than dealing with the little ones. The notion of teaching preschool / kindergarden literally scares the shit out of me

Unfortunately I don’t think that Pence’s career is fucked at all, quite the opposite in fact. His career would have probably been over had he not been Trump’s VP pick - his sole term as Indiana’s governor has been pretty disastrous, there’s a high likelihood that had he not dropped his re-election bid to join Trump’s…

Did Posey slow up because he lost count of the outs, or did he think that Zobrist had at least trapped the ball? Because if he didn’t realize the ball had gotten past Zobrist there’s no way he’s even considering 3rd let alone home. And also, I’m certainly not saying he’d definitely have been out but Posey’s not…

Strongly disagree with you game ratings this week, Lions at Bears is definitely not two throwgasms. As a lifelong Bears fan I can tell you with complete certainty that the game is at very most like negative 3 or 4 throwgasms, literally no one will enjoy watching it regardless of who they’re cheering for

It’s really very simple - false accusations of rape are very, very rare, rape is horrifyingly not. Provably false accusations make up something like 2-8% of all reported rapes and that clearly does not include the countless number of women who have been assaulted and, for any of a variety of reasons, did not report…

All of these sorts of events generate a ton of revenue. This issue when a billionaire wants to bleed a few hundred million from the government to build a stadium is twofold:
