And they both make so much money, which, to be clear, I'm not bashing in and of itself. My point in bringing up the money is that they're too big to get kicked in the ass. SAS is the twelve million dollar man. They're not doing jack shit to him for this or any other shit take

Damn skippy I am, and the mini rainbow frogs are a perfect combination of gummi gelatin and marshmallow. They're incredible.

That’s the thing, and I had a rousing disagreement with a colleague of mine who also read the book. He is, at best, hillbilly adjacent, and even that’s a stretch. My mom was born and raised in the hills of West Virginia, and she left when she was 18 and moved to SC. Much of her side of my family —- my uncle, great aunt…

Jelly Belly closed down.

Hell no. Team Haribo reigns supreme

The whole book was bullshit. I read it with great interest because my family on my mom's side is from the hills of West Virginia. Vance is a bullshitter, his book was trash, and he can eat shit

Young earth creationists are a particularly strange lot. It's interesting hearing them confidently speak about the Earth's age as if archaeology and carbon dating are nonsense

That's depressing, but is it really a generational thing? I definitely know women under 30 who've argued that he and R Kelly are innocent because "those groupies all got what they were looking for."

Sweet mother Jesus

The bitterest part for me is that we spent a week with him every summer and we spent every other Christmas with him. We were in SC on Christmas 2019, but the kids and I didn't see him last summer because I wasn't willing to risk his safety. How do I live with myself if I bring Covid into his house and he succumbs to…

My dad died on May 29, and my life will never be the same. I'm 51, so on the whole, I was blessed to have that many years with him, but I'm still crushed. I'll forever be haunted by the fact that I never got a chance to see him. My kids and I drove 800 miles to see him Memorial day weekend, but things took a drastic…

Right. He's the embodiment of the meme about what happens when the world's worst person makes a good point. He does make some good points on occasion, but he's still an opportunist, and I just can't get down with that

Your dad was THE Bob Gibson? Holy shit!!! What kind of badass do you have to be to literally get the mound lowered because you kicked so much ass? More than damn near anyone else in history, Bob Gibson would have insane stats in today’s free swinging MLB. This is the most awesome thing I've read in some time, and I…

Clearly not. The amount of kinetic energy she's able to summon on her approach and liftoff is absolutely explosive

Damn, that's a cool story. Blessings to your mom.

True story: for reasons I don’t really get and don’t really care about, Kareem did a meet and greet in Milwaukee at a bank branch less than a mile from my house. It was Friday, February 28, and I was damn sure going to take my daughter to meet Kareem. I’m 51, and I lived and died by the Lakers in the eighties (before…

A friend of mine is a high school basketball coach, and he has been around Pearl a few times at clinics and when Pearl was recruiting one of his players. My friend's take: Pearl is charismatic and all, but his sleaze factor is palpable.

Bruce Pearl was a hell of a story here in MKE when he took UW-Milwaukee to the big dance, but has there been a dirtier coach in the NCAA in the last thirty years, outside of the Baylor dude?

Burn the motherfucker down. I want to see massive payouts every single time this happens. 

The Detroit high school basketball scene at that time must have been crazy.
