I don’t know why this surprises you. The only way that one could defend picking Scherzer over DeGrom is if by placing value on wins as a statistic for pitchers, because by literally every other metric (i.e. the ones that actually matter) DeGrom thoroughly dominated. FFS, if his absurd 1.70 ERA wasn’t enough, his 2.13…

Because at least the turf at Soldier is also frozen solid

All I want is for Holt to have gotten the commissioner job and at least 1 episode of him lording his new position as her boss over Wunch, is that too much to ask?

No idea where you might be able to find it for free, but all 5 seasons are on Hulu

Exactly. The pizza is, of course, hot garbage but the garlic parmesan breadsticks are like fucking crack; craving said breadsticks my wife tried to argue that since he’s been removed from the board and no longer a part of the company we could order them guilt free and I had to tell her that no, motherfucker still owns…

Why start a whole new one? I’m sure that Herman Cain would be thrilled if he wanted to invest in Godfather Pizza, hell they could even change the name to Godfather John’s Pizza

This horrific piece of news reminds me of how one of the victims of the Aurora movie theater shooting in 2012 had only weeks earlier narrowly avoided being caught in a shooting in a mall food court in Toronto, she left literally minutes before that shooting began. The fact that there are so many guns, and so many…

If every current MLB player retired tomorrow, they’d in all likelihood simply be replaced wholesale by each team’s AAA affiliate. And if Bill James, or anyone else, is really stupid enough to think that that wouldn’t dramatically impact the game’s popularity (which should be obvious just by looking at attendance…

It’s because his internal organs are literally embalmed at this point

The problem is that the higher birth rates of black and Hispanic kids is not in and of itself going to push a demographic change fast enough. First of all, there’s the obvious point that it’ll take 18 years for those kids to be eligible to vote. Secondly, and more importantly, there are other issues at play that will…

What makes this one incredibly difficult, from a gun control advocacy standpoint, is that the shooter used a .45 caliber handgun and not an assault rifle or some other type of long gun. In almost all of the mass shootings in recent history the perpetrator has used an AR-15 or something similar, but the douchenozzles…

There are 13 people dead, but only 12 victims

Can we just pause for a moment and reflect on the Post’s casual description of a strip club as a “jiggle joint”? Because holy fuck I can’t stop laughing

It’s currently only legal for medicinal use, but there’s a good chance that Illinois will legalize marijuana for recreational use in the near future now that democrat JB Pritzker has been elected governor and dems retained control of the legislature. It was a point that Pritzker actually campaigned on, and there was…

The problem isn’t that they were filmed. It is completely reasonable for uber / lyft / other livery service drivers to have an inward facing dashcam for their own protection both in case they are attacked and in case someone makes a false allegation against them. The problem lies in posting that video online, having a…

I honestly have no idea how I was un-grayed here in the first place, but I really appreciated it a lot more than I thought I would and I’m bummed that I’ll be grayed again. I’m in the gray on all of the other blogs because I don’t comment nearly enough to have anyone want to follow me, I’ll miss being un-grayed here :(

Is this hilarious and enlightening? Absolutely. Is it newsworthy? Since it’s out there, yeah. But that doesn’t change the fact that an Uber driver recording passengers without their consent or knowledge and then posting that video online is a MASSIVE invasion of privacy regardless of the fame level of the passengers.

You know, I could understand if her argument was that it was ok because she was trying to portray a specific person (or character) and not wearing blackface to portray a minstrel or generic black person. “I wasn’t being racist, I was just trying to be authentic in my Lafawunduh costume!” It’s still racist as fuck,…

The stupid part is that he’s not even right about that. Even if he hadn’t fumbled, the Packers would have had worse field position than if he’d taken the touchback by 7 or 8 yards and he would have essentially cost them a timeout by taking the clock down to the 2-minute warning during the return. The only way that…

Too soon
