Jon Miller is incredible and listening to him respond to the outrageous things Joe Morgan said was a pure delight. I think you overate knowledgeable commentary and underrate the commenting equivalent of a train crash. 

No, but I am not a toddler. I am not really debating this specific use of the term. I just didn’t realize that “paki” in general was considered to be racist.

I am really bad at recognizing racism apparently. I didn’t realize that the ok hand gesture was racist and I wouldn’t have known that “paki” was anything other than a shortened form of “Pakistani” and would have assumed it was ok had I not seen this article. I think I might just stop talking or making any gestures in…

‘I am the victim of hate brought on by me choosing to be an asshole.’

I can’t think of a single time I’ve seen anyone make this gesture on camera. I guess I am inclined to be sympathetic to the idea that he did it innocently because I had never previously heard of the racist connotations and it is a gesture I had seen and used before (having played the game).  Without knowing anything…

Is it not believable at all that this guy was unaware of the racist connotations?  Because I was until this article. 

Me neither. No idea at all. 

I am leaning towards supporting ejections for all headshots, regardless of intent. If you are reckless enough to hit someone in the head then you are done. It seems like the only way to make players take the appropriate care.

As a mostly impartial fan I have to say that I think that was the right moment to give up. The Warriors should be applauded. 

I lived in Wrigleyville for most of a decade.  Prior to moving there I was mostly ambivalent about the Cubs.  By the end of my time there I hated the Cubs and their fans with a passion. 

Unfortunately I don’t think that is the exclusive use of “or.”

I still haven’t even tried the ghost peppers I grew last summer. Habaneros are perfect for me, hot enough and with a really nice flavor.

Joey Cora loves the decision. 

These rankings are shit. I want a refund.

It’s pretty much standard practice for Targaryens to sleep with other Targaryens, so it never even occurred to me that that aspect might freak out Dany.  I always expected it to be the fact that there was someone with a “better” claim to the throne that upset her. 

I love those Utah uniforms.

It wasn’t particularly egregious at all. It is the type of hit that you see multiple times a game in the playoffs. Oshie just lost an edge and fell awkwardly so it is getting more attention than it otherwise would. If he had not gotten hurt I doubt there even would have been a penalty called. I could see suplemental…

In the interview afterwards Tiger thought it had been 22 years years since he had won the Masters. It reminded me of Serena underselling the number of Majors she had won.

I’m not sure why this is being presented as though it is cute or amusing.

I keep expecting to find out that Matt Stairs is still on a roster somewhere.
