“The writer pretends that a short time in the presence of some closed-off celebrity has given them unique insights into the inner being, the closed-off celebrity pretends that they have opened up and given those insights, and everyone agrees to pretend that this is something other than a transactional act of public…

Belichick drafted Jacoby Brissett two years ago.

Still not ready for Fletch 3 yet, eh?!

So he spoke about himself in the third person?! That is simultaneously creepy and not at all surprising.

Great! When will Deadspin comment on Greg Howard?

I cannot stand to look at any of the Ball kids faces. Is it just me?

I didn’t say that Toronto is a football town, I said that where I watched the Leafs game (in the GTA) most people were into the TFC game. TFC has a lot of fans, so let’s go with that.

Toronto was a bad matchup for the Bruins all season and frankly I’m shocked and happy the Bruins managed to pull this one out.

Well, yea, that too, but I was trying to be diplomatic and shit...

I mean, why not bring race into it?

And the character has evolved GREATLY from the initial stereotype of gouging, overworked store clerk in the past three decades. Even the shows writers didn’t want Apu to be a one trick pony along the lines of say Groundskeeper Willie, Kirk VanHouten, and Ned Flanders.

It’s a cartoon the whole show gently mocks everybody. The Apu character never made me squirm at the shows supposed racism. He’s a guy, he works, he has a family, he’s a part of the community. What up? Because Azaria is white? Every race portrays every race. Hamilton?

you don’t know me bud

I don’t get the outrage? Isn’t Wonder Woman supposed to be sexy? The Lynda Carter incarnation had the character in a freaking bustier and underwear for god’s sakes. Are we supposed to pretend that Carter (an ex beauty queen) and Gal Gadot (ex model) weren’t hired b/c they were sexy, attractive women?

I know popular sentiment might be with Ovechkin finally winning one but you have to remember he’s an unreserved Putin supporter. Sidney Crosby on the other hand, a true Canadian patriot, has almost certainly never voted so as not to offend anyone.

In fairness, the average person breathlessly devouring this Schefter report is deeply, deeply stupid.

I’m sure this will just get chalked up to be everyone else’s fault but hers. Probably Bernie’s fault, I guess. Certainly not Hillary’s fault, I honestly can’t think of a single thing she’s ever done wrong in her life, it’s literally everyone else that’s ever failed.
