It’s tough. The game would eventually figure it out, but I’d worry about the decade after fighting was made illegal. The adjustment period.

Yeah, as a fellow media person I know you also know this: You’re called a hero in this industry just for confirming for people the rotten truths they’ve suspected all along. I don’t know where the scrutiny is coming from. I’ve had a source tell me what I’ve already known and caked mightily off of it. So has Deadspin,…

Particulary impressive given that their defensive lineup is:

Erm...no, a good prosecutor could charge you on that in most places.

What the fuck is this shit my man?

For bonus horror, look up a good Pittsburgh accent. 2 parts Philadelphia, 1 part Appalachia. Weird hints of lake area Midwesterner (every statement inflected inquisitively) and even Georgia-ish drawling sneaks in there. Ghastly, gorgeous, and inimitable. No one has ever really had a reason to imitate it, but still.

Thanks for correcting the record.

Was this meant to be a joke or a cry for help?

I mean, I am a mostly-lapsed NFL fan who roots for the Eagles and fully expected to lose that game, but mostly because of Doug Pederson coming out of the Andy Reid coaching tree. But really, Nick Foles’s reputation is more a result of playing under Chip Kelly, getting chewed up by the crappy Philly sports media, and…

I just hate lazy writing. The whole ‘wounded duck’ deep pass thing was quite obviously a product of the wind. The NBC crew used the same phrase about it and pointed to it as an example of bad QB play or something, but the exact same thing happened to a Matt Ryan pass a quarter later and Colinsworth sort of admitted to…

Fuck you and your goddamn narrative, because Nick Foles is a multi-year NFL vet with twice as many TDs as INTs, who went 23/30 tonight. He’s not an elite QB, but he’s decent at it and he’d be starting on any number of teams in this trash league had Jeff Fisher not scuttled his reputation.

I have not seen this film, but have lately wondered what type of reaction Flannery O’Connor would receive today by the wokewars commentariat. Were she producing now what she did in the ‘60's, I imagine the response would be an even more intense version of this.

So much exposition for so few names.

Ehhhhhhhhhh

Soccer absolutely sucks.

I don’t know what’s more depressing, your hatred of subtlety or the collective endorsement of it.

Desus was being facetious as fuck.

Nothing says “commoner” like a pastime that requires a $300+ machine, multiple $60+ games, a TV that costs $200+, and either a minimum $50+ dollar monthly internet connection or multiple $60+ controllers.

In the last 2 years they have beaten Penn State, Clemson, and Miami. Unfortunately, they have somehow lost 17 games to UNC in that same time period.

I was enjoying this story immensely until:
