I don’t want to get too spoilery, but it kind of felt like the selfish decision making you’re referring to near the end begged for a deeper dive into the characters’ (particularly Hodaka’s) motivations that just never happens. He’s so adamant throughout the film about not going home, but it doesn’t seem to give a…

November 2004 is also the month I didn't bother showing up for a single class my freshman year of college. I'll take this as proof I was justified in making that decision.

So we’ve skipped past zombie Deadspin and are going straight to Robo-Deadspin?

Marchand died for somebody’s sins, but not mine.

I grew up in Erie, and my father has been an executive board member at UE 506 for a long time. Before the strike stuff hit, I similarly worried about what impact Bernie would have on a crowded primary. But now I say, fuck it. This dude really gives a shit about something that really matters. Wabtec can absolutely make…

I get what you’re saying, but is it really fair to call the Cavs “sewer lifers.” If getting to the finals four straight years with one championship in the mix is the sewer, then what’s the point of anything?

The advantage rule is pretty much what they do in hockey with delayed penalties, and it only makes sense. But why even bother leaving it up to discretion on allowing continued play or not? Just have a ref raise his hand and play continues until the offense scores or loses possession. This would only encourage exciting…
