You’re being disingenuous with the Stallworth comparison. He was at 0.10 BAC, yes, but that wasn’t what caused the incident. He was on a 4 lane road with IIRC a 45 MPH speed limit, and some guy ran into traffic. Not at a crosswalk, but just randomly like Frogger.

Even more sad? Caring that much about the outcome of the Music City Bowl.

My Dilly Dilly take is that when it was limited to the original commercial that had no agenda other than just being totally goofy, I was fine with it. It was a nonsensical phrase that started getting used on social media and in real life, because people thought it was enjoyably silly. My Bud Light consumption never…

I deal with insurance company and pharmacy phone systems all week for work. The absolute worst is Walgreens, who start every call with this robo-woman talking to you for 30 seconds before you even get to the options. I have them memorized so I can skip it now, but holy shit.

Yeah, I think you get like 3, 4 minutes tops. It’s a toast, not the Gettysburg Address.

Holy shit +1

Watson looks like the real deal. He’s going to give them a good chance at getting one, especially since the AFC is mostly junk.

I hate the Pats as much you do, but the vaunted Jags defense gave up almost 500 yards and 5 passing touchdowns yesterday even though they went up big early and knew all the Steelers were going to do was pass. Bortles only completed 14 passes the entire game. They were efficient, good passes, but still.

I like the double standard of calling out the Steelers for overlooking Jacksonville, while celebrating Ramsey overlooking both the Pats and whoever wins the NFC and guaranteeing a Super Bowl win.

This joke/burn attempt doesn’t make sense. Why would a guy who hates someone masturbate into a copy of that guy’s book?

crass, rude, reckless

2018 Bill Simmons, to make a Simmons like analogy, is like a washed up rock band that continues to tour on name recognition but hasn’t been able to create any meaningful, original, or otherwise listenable records in decades. So, U2.

Nah, it wasn’t a lack of reader traffic that was the problem. The problem was that ESPN was and continues to hemorrhage money as they lose more and more cable subscribers, and couldn’t afford to pay all the expensive writers he had on board at the time any longer, especially since Grantland had no real way of…

That’s kinda what bothered me when the video came out. Most reactions weren’t “hey, this guy is an addict and needs help”, they were “LOL LOOK AT THE IDIOT RUIN HIS CAREER SNORTING COKE”.

Yeah, fuck that. I don’t want to have to get into gear to watch sports I care about any earlier than noon. I need time to ease into the day and then get drunk for it. I always assume that the West Coasters who have to wake up to watch the 1 PM EST NFL games at 10 AM local time must hate it.

Pretty much every insurance plan of any kind gives them to you as part of the plan without additional cost because it’s much cheaper for them to give a person a flu shot than it is to treat complications from the flu like hospitalization from pneumonia.

This is pretty close, but your general point is correct. Generally speaking, a low grade fever, runny nose, sore throat, etc. for a few days is just a cold. If you have a high grade fever (>102 degrees), nausea, body aches and severe chills/shivering, etc. lasting for 4+ days, that is influenza.

It’s probably more that he’s playing with an entire backing band, including at least a cello (which is a bowed instrument). You can see it at the 0:48 second mark in the video.

This person needs to be punched in the face.
