I think his issue is that his bit was a little too clever for the crowd. Given that the formula for like 25% of roast jokes is something like “Did you know that (XXXX)‘s (genitals of choice) are so (adjective) that they (verb/more descriptive adjective)“. Not saying that clever jokes never hit, but its much easy for…

Norm McDonald also got the silent treatment during the Bob Saget roast, but in that case I thought people just didn’t get what I thought was a very funny troll job.

As a Yankees fan, we are at best pining for the fjords. Fun to watch this August/September, but it’ll be 2017/2018 for us.

Came here to say this. Lewis Black going after Glenn Beck for his “Nazi Tourettes” is one of my favorite bits of all time.

Then you’re just wrong! Poli sci grad, current political analyst reporting in. One of thousands of poli sci undergrads out here in DC!

I wish “and whatever the fuck else they have going on” was less appropriate. I can’t wait for the first game where we go up 7-0 on an incredible OBJ TD catch, and then have the momentum just absolutely nuked into orbit when the revolving door that is the right side of our line gets Eli supplexed and his spleen…

I think that’s a fair counter, but mercenary is probably a bit too far. Of a 22 year career, he’s spent 11 years of it in NY. I think the Yankees organization places a premium on “treating players right”, (With the notable exception of Bernie Williams, still mad about that) and even if you don’t buy that, I refer to…

As a Yankee fan, the takes in the comments are stupendously dumb. If nothing else, we have a history of treating long-time Yankees incredibly well, frequently better than their numbers suggest they deserve. See: Jeter’s last contract, and giving Posada a ton of AB’s in his last season. A-rod isn’t going to see the…

Was also at this game. Don’t think I would have made it if I wasn’t barely in the shade. As a side note on the beer, there were still people sipping Bud Light cans in the 18th. As they couldn’t have gotten them after the 7th, I shudder at the thought of how warm that beer must have been.

Obligatory Randall Simon.

Whats particularly glorious about this is that with $250 he’s $50 over the FEC reporting threshold. $250- not enough to be a big donor, just enough to make sure the google-handy world can figure out you donated to Carson.
