That was a helluva shot. But one thing I thought about while watching the first half is I think Portland should have drafted Durant instead of Oden

One of these days I want a hit batter to just calmly take his base, let the situation cool down, and then blindside rush the pitcher from the first base.

Remember those fleeting moments when the Browns showed vague glimpses of competence, when they pulled off that fancy salary cap trade and didn’t get too cute with the top overall pick? Yeah, those were good times.

They must use a really heavy newspaper.

Aaron Hernandez, an innocent man, died in prison. Yet, Tom Brady (clearly guilty of evidence tampering) walks free. That’s America for you.

Back in college, Greg Oden would win these races all by himself.

If someone asks you a question — any question — that begins with “Who won the,” your wild-ass guess should never be “North Korea.”

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that led to a suicidal mindset among someone close to that already, in a way real…

He died doing what he loved...

Wow, this guy just can’t stop killing people. 

If only there were some way to keep airlines from selling more seats than are physically available in a plane.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. And the smug “that’s how women are...” commentary. It’s a matter of degrees with these things. She’s just outrageously, cartoonishly bad. His negativity is quieter, more under the surface. It’s funny because you can see him making a great effort to present “the high ground”, but beneath…
