all good points. But with this passage:

What? Seriously? That is the real Linsanity.

Dude, nicely done. +1

Just love messing with people like you.

Aaaaaaaaand... now we see your true colors, so to speak. I love internet courage.

Please note ThisIsWhatMenDo's lack of response to everyone's well-justified takedown of his stupid race comment. ThisIsNotWhatMenDo. ThisIsWhatTrollsDo.

Jimmy Dugan would be spitting up blood.

Just imagine how bad it would have been if they had been playing Canadian football.

Oh, stop. I don't like the Yankees either, but the guy has over 3,000 hits and has been consistently good for years. Your butthurt is not a good look.

That sounds more like "fucking awesome." Anyway, I was quarreling with the inconsistency of his language, as well as the idea that, if you will, just because Altidore isn't "Lukaku good" that he wasn't a legit World Cup player.

No comment on anything except your last sentence, with which I agree.

I like this article... but regarding this statement...

because, as I have heard, a picture lasts longer?

"I'm going to put my earpiece back in... So you guys can hear me." WTF? That, plus Johnny Fap at the anchor desk, plus the entire story encapsulates the absurdity of local TV news.

Fair enough. I guess I am just more cynical about social conservatives than you are. But, frankly, I'm glad not everyone is as cynical about them as I am.
