You have embraced your tormentors. Well done.

Players know that Scott Boras is Satan, but he’s their Satan.

Does not appear likely. Scherzer is in the minority of superstar athletes who seem to understand that taking the YUUGE money brings responsibility. Sure, things change, but he acts like he’s interested in the team’s success beyond his own. He also seems to understand that in the big scheme of things this ride is…

Every time my smug liberal Northeast friends talk shit about the South I remember that I learned what racism was from the good people of South Boston pelting school buses with rocks in 1974. Made quite an impression on my 7 year old self watching the news with my folks.

I’m guessing Aretha owes her money. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1999-02-16/news/9902170325_1_aretha-franklin-detroit-free-press-debt

The Washington Capitals are the red headed stepchild of the NHL brass. They always have and always will be second-class citizens compared to the almighty Original Six (who aren’t ‘original’ at all see Olbermann on this).

Leave the 11 year old out of it.

OMG, calling The Joe an “Old Barn”? Please. The Joe was a concrete mausoleum the day it opened and never improved. The day the Wings win their first Cup in the new building people will immediately forget it ever existed. However, if you want to make an 80 year old Wings fan cry just say the word “Olympia.”

Society fails thousands of people who do not commit multiple murders. Take a fraction of your sadness for Hernandez and instead go do something for them. Hernandez was a sociopath who happened to be good at a kid’s game.

This is what I do folks (taxes, wealth, rich people) so please consider this an experienced opinion: if the IRS is seizing assets this means they have been down the rabbit hole for years and probably did nothing more than give the IRS the finger (at least figuratively) along the way. No, they were not ‘informed’ about…

If $29 billion is good for anything, it should be good for the ability to not give a fuck. He clearly does not. File this under “Steve Ballmer: Mitigating Factors”

Of course, all of this is bullshit anyway. Dr. Tim Noakes’s book Waterlogged has covered all of this in depth. Cliff’s Notes: your body is extremely well-designed to be become dehydrated; the performance boasts of the sports drink industry are designed to sell sports drinks, not actually help you perform better; and…

WTF? Did you have to tell them to get off your lawn or something?

Your headline reeks of bad science. No one has a fucking clue why we get one-year spikes in anything. You have fallen victim to the narrative fallacy.

Not only was he a creep, he was also a lousy musician. He spent the better part of 30 years touring alone, relying on local club owners to throw together bands (who didn’t know his songs?) and the results were shit. Who knows how many thousands of people paid good $ thinking they were getting a rock legend when all…

At this precise moment he is healthier and more active than many Americans I know.

25 years an ice hockey official here (just hung up skates recently): I’m wondering about this. Every once in a while a team loses the will to live and goes haywire. In that circumstance you call misconduct penalties any chance you get: sit a kid for 10 min (or in the 3rd pd, send him off) and he tends to chill out.…

A great heuristic to use in housing debates is to watch who uses the expression “neighborhood character” first. That’s the asshole right there.

Thanks for the love, but this relationship is almost halfway done. Year 1: picks team off bottom (check). Year 2: shows dramatic improvement, almost ready to take final step (check). Year 3: this is our year baby! Yet, there will be some dramatic fuck up that denies what is rightfully his (where we are now). Year 4:…

I’m just happy we have a middle-aged Bo Jackson around talking to us. None of us who saw him will ever forget him. Oh, and there’s this:
