Pat here: I just want everyone to know my dog, Sam, is OK and a very happy boy.

This is nonsense. They added one player to their well-drafted team who utilizes talent that other teams couldn’t, and they’re somehow more manufactured than any other team?

I start with half of the main dish, then move on to the sides, and then jump back to the main so it’s still the headliner.

This is a beautiful comment.

Yeah but this is sports, which we should all take less seriously, and not politics, which we should all take more seriously.

Living a mile away from Guaranteed Rate Field fills in all the same boxes. Tickets are always cheap, the stadium is usually half full, max, and I only give a shit about what happens in the game when the Red Sox are in town.

“How will I criticize the writing in this column? I know! I’ll spend four paragraphs talking about other stories before I even mention my subject.”

Bennett was the one player from either team who said he wouldn’t attend if they won during the media week. That the media didn’t make a bigger deal about it isn’t really his fault.

To me, that’s somewhat comforting. I don’t believe there’s anything after, so I don’t think that there’s a chance that because I didn’t follow the right rule or worship the right god, I’ll spend eternity in Hell (I went to Catholic school for 13 years so this was a real fear at some point). In 2011 I went through sort…

Yeah, that’s really worked out so far.

Or that Jeff Fisher has Jeff Fish mounted on the wall of his den.

I’m sure there are also way more liberals in Mississippi than you would expect.

If you drive out along 90 you see a lot of nothing. But then Springfield’s right in the middle of it, and Albany is on the other side of it. It’s more Vermont than West Virginia, but it’s there.

I had these for the first time last year and I have to say, Club crackers soaked in bullion are exactly as good as I expected them to be.

Amendola already has a ring from 2014.

My favorite football move is the far too late “I’m holding my hands back so I didn’t commit a foul here.”

Have you gotten a cease and desist from Denis Leary’s lawyers yet?

At some point, shouldn’t Fox be criticized for showcasing these assholes every time they air a Cleveland game? There are tons of fans in the stands, but without fail I see these racist cockroaches on camera.

I’m a Red Sox fan living in Bridgeport, so I’ve been to Guaranteed Rate a lot. While the stadium is awfully generic, they have better food, they host dog night, and the stadium isn’t surrounded by a coral reef of Bud Light vomit and recently used condoms like Wrigley is.

The most shocking thing about this is that he’s not wearing a Bills jersey.
