Now, don’t hate the playa!

Counterargument: being a sports team owner is the closest thing you can come these days to buying and selling black people.

I lived in Argentina in 2006 and went to a Boca River match. It’s this crazy and more. I lost my wallet and was lucky to leave with my life.

Live and learn, I suppose.  Evidently I’m pretty clearly in the wrong here, so I’ll be quiet.  I guess my general “avoid the internet” Sunday routine failed me this time, or I successfully scrolled past the previous F1 recaps.  Apologies for complaining, I just thought I’d have a lot of people in agreement with me,…

Have they had a QB since Bernie Kosar? 

You can bake one cake but it does not make you a baker.

Watching this live, the thing I found most entertaining was that Moncrief and Wallace continued to fight over the ball for what felt like five minutes, even after the melee broke out. It all felt very surreal, but maybe especially that aspect. 

This was also his 3rd or 4th attempt on that island. They had previously shot at him.

He illegally went to an island KNOWING it was illegal and how that island operates and he could die and did it anyway. Let that be a lesson to anyone else who wants to fuck with people who DO NOT WANT TO BE FUCKED WITH.

Well when you have 29 owners who secretly feel the same way as the Giants principal owner this is what you have. Owners are so tone-deaf they care little about anything except the bottom line. Notice you haven’t heard a peep from Jerruh or NFL owners since ratings are through the roof and revenue is up. Last year at…

It is my job, so yeah.

As a long-time F1 fan, I’ve learned to either watch the race live or stay off the internet until I’ve seen it. Sorry. 

5 grand buys about a picosecond’s worth of ad time on an MLB broadcast.  It’s hilarious how much bad press it buys MLB.

He’s definitely not going to the good place.

He probably called himself a christian too.

Dude’s going to meet his maker with “fucking nigger” on his lips.

As you said, “prestige gigs” aren’t only a brewing-world issue: https://deadspin.com/nj-com-sports-director-needs-to-chill-out-1830413819

Also, have you read Jeff Alworth’s coverage of brewers’ salaries? It’s good stuff: https://www.beervanablog.com/beervana/2018/9/6/brewer-compensation-survey-results

The economics of running a brewery could be of interest for a more long-form piece. And the idea of people taking a paycut to work for a top-tier brewery for the prestige. Television is like that too. MTV used to pay terribly because it was a prestige gig. Now it’s a company I won’t name but they maybe rhyme with…

I... don’t think this is the correct take. Hops are often contracted years in advance; one beer isn’t going to “shift taste-making” (what?); and people drink IPAs year-round. Spare me the conspiracies about this charity beer, please.
