I’m a cord-cutter and SVP Sportscenter is the only thing I watch consistently live that isn’t live sports. So ESPN still has that going for it.

So you are one of those people who thinks LeBron shouldn’t win MVP “because he’s won it before, maybe someone else should get the trophy”? I’m sure you loved Karl Malone’s MVPs

Yeah, I own one gun and the ONLY time it comes out of the safe is when I’m backpacking. I’m usually the person asking - “who needs a gun there?” but this is pretty normal.

This is a dumb question. I didn’t watch the game and he’s not being mentioned in the comments - how is Jimmy Butler doing?

You’re right, I was too quick to dismiss AdMo. I remember that market. There was also the good bakery in Mt. Pleasant up the road. There was also “Secret Tacos” that used to just be someone’s apartment in the area. I think people just like to whine about Mexican food if it’s not precisely what they are used to. I…

This is true, not sure what that has to do with AirBnB though.

Welcome to homeopathic medicine

There is actually slim evidence that this is the case. It’s like adding bus lines or subways in your neighborhood will bring crime. It’s old-timey, classist (or racist) bullshit.

The dream of NFL owners since the 1970s

DC is the only place I saw baleadas often. I’m sure they exist in other cities.

Eh I disagree that it’s third rate. I think there are aspects of it that are regional - Mexico is a big country and pretending they have one culinary flavor is dumb for all of us to be arguing about. The places aren’t serving Tex-Mex, they do certain things really well, and at the end of the day, we’re talking about…

This isn’t American History X, and even that ends up with a dead Nazi

Yeah, ignore the uncle julio’s folk. Next time you’re in the city head up to El Chuchos on 11th or one of several spots on 14th about a mile north of the Columbia heights metro or a mile west of the Petworth metro. There also used to be a good spot in Mount Pleasant but not sure if it’s still there. Also in MD just…

That’s patently untrue for basketball though. The MD Suburbs are one of the most talent loaded areas for basketball and have deep local roots. The Verizon Center (or whatever it is now) catering to the NoVA rich, white, company is a large part of the problem though. That’s not unique to DC, but DC is different in that…

I totally agree. I grew up without an NBA team and I really wanted to root for the Wizards while I lived in DC (almost a decade), but the fact that they didn’t sell out playoff games and the city seemed indifferent towards them really made me not jump on that train. I still root for them but since I grew up rooting…

I mean, there is the term “McShit” for a reason. You buy the apple pie and run to the bathroom

This is correct. You can usually sice out people from NoVA by their comments about “DC.” You aren’t from DC, you don’t live in DC, you live in a farm school - Va Tech/PSU/UVA - post grad program

man Ray Bourque must have been the best thing to happen to you in high school

There is a name for people like you - it’s asshole. I also don’t root for DC teams (although I’ll get behind the Nats because I like good baseball), but reveling in other peoples misery with no other satisfaction of your own makes you a sadistic dick

I always found it interesting the reasons that the older African American native DC folk are Cowboys fans instead of Skins (why there is a HUGE Cowboys fan base in DC). It’s due to the Skins, per usual, being a bunch of racist shits and the minority fans saying “fuck you - we’ll root for the rival”
