you must be really popular there with your shining example of open-mindedness

First time in years I’ve liked Boomer. When he introduced Tomlinson he made a point of saying San Diego Chargers repeatedly, with a big emphasis on the city and a pause for the crowd to respond.

It doesn’t say “minor league hitting streak”.

Is the hitting streak the most bullshit stat ever?

“Siri, who holds the Midwest League hitting streak record?”

I can’t even count the number of people I’ve heard say “I’m so glad dad/grandpa passed away before this happened.” That’s your legacy, Dean Spanos. Making people glad their loved ones died without seeing what you did. Congratulations.

“MLS isn’t the best league on its own continent.”

I think it’s true that teams in leagues that are not “the best” can attract fans, but they will be limited in their growth without some other hook.

This might be one of those rare times when grownups and professionals joining in on a meme from the teens works out to everyone’s benefit

You’d keep your asshole clenched too if you were indiscriminately fucking that many people.

Why are you censoring “fuck” on the internet?

Aren’t they just trying to make a joke out of him tearing his shirt off and running all around the pitch, referencing the scene from Old School where Will Ferrell is streaking and running through the streets naked? He asks is wife “Do you think KFC is still open?” The intent seems pretty harmless in this case.

“No I’m not high or drunk I just want to play more football.”

More lame: this new caste system of commenting (“Staff,” “Community,” “Pending,” “Eternally Grey,” “Untouchables”...)
