Remember, every villain is the hero of his own story

You forgot: “You must just be criticizing him so you can short the stock.”

JESUS. Those people are literally skin covering Kool-Aid at this point.

The comments on the Giz article about this are priceless. Did you know: if you criticize Elon Musk at all, it’s only because you’re shorting the stock? It’s true, the commenters told me!

“Nate’s 10-1 favorite Hillary”

It is amazing how much crap Nate Silver takes for completely invented errors. 538 had Hillary as a 2-1 favorite, not 10-1. That’s less of a favorite than pretty much anyone else out there, statistical or subjective. It makes it hard to be mad at him for his actual errors (like whatever…

Trump was at 29% the morning of the election, which was far higher than he was at any other prediction site. Not 10-1, more like 2-1.

For whatever it’s worth, in the 2016 election, Nate Silver was actually far more pessimistic about Hillary’s chances (giving her a ~70% chance to win) than every other media outlet who was 95+% and treating it as a done deal.*

I’ve been weight lifting 5 days a week for 24 years. I realize my personal experience hardly translates to everyone and makes medical fact, but I recommend avoiding overhead presses. If you have weight over your head, it only takes a slight sudden move (i.e. lose your balance) to seriously hurt your back. I’ve also fou…

Kind of a shame we got to a point where the default setting is to assume writers are incapable of telling stories about about characters who don’t share their gender/race/sexuality/religion/career. Because that’s the commonality across all great fiction... no one does any research, every single character is just a…

An idea I’ve always liked: add two more weeks to the season, but keep the same number of games, and add two extra Bye weeks per team. This feels like a compromise between what the League wants (more content to squeeze more nickles out of broadcasters) and what Players want (to not be worked to death). In this…

I know we all love to rip Winston, but I applaud his comments here, and I hope he continues to learn and grow with each mistake. It’d be awesome to watch a 9ft professor play QB.

according to Comscore, nobody. fun fact: more people [‘unique visitors’] read Timothy Burke over the months of March and April 2018 than read all of barstoolsports.com, according to Comscore. 

I mean, it’s true that dumb owners are going to be dumb...but the cap spike is directly the cause of the Warriors getting KD and going from “outstanding but beatable” into “murderous”. Let’s compare:

James was “enthralled” at the idea of partnering with Lakers president Magic Johnson, whom he feels he can relate to on a level he hasn’t been able to with previous executives.

Yeah but don’t they basically do this all the time anyway with one guy jogging up the court with his hands up as the player with the ball dribbles back and forth behind him?

I agree it is unlikely, but if the neck were already excluded as a preexisting condition, I don’t think they would have offered to refund the premium.

Browns fan here, who’s been through the ringer since my earliest memories (the Drive & the Fumble). Mayfield has grown on me to the point where I’m convinced that if he was 2 inches taller, he’d be the consensus #1 pick. I think all 5 of the top QBs this year had question marks. But our new front office is the first…

browns fan here. fuck me. i was alright with mayfield, but ward over chubb makes me want to drink bleach.

Perhaps it is your spouse who has learned nothing if they still are a Browns fan?
