The players are underpaid relative to the value they provide to the owners. Nobody is saying cancer researchers or teachers shouldn’t be fairly compensated for what they do, but calling baseball “a childhood game” just undercuts your argument. That childhood game generated about 10 billion dollars in revenue last year…

Last I checked, the words progressive and inclusive don’t mean beyond reproach. The fact that you see my posts as insulting enough to justify you saying that I know nothing and calling me an idiot says a whole lot more about you than it does about me. And it is kind of hilarious that in one sentence you blindly…

The fact that not only did I not say liberals were either smarter or more sound policy-wise anywhere in my comment and that it made you so angry for no other reason than that you disagree with it is kind of telling. If you can think of anything more than 2:00 minutes worth of material better than reductive crap like…

I really doubt it could work. Not just because of the punch-up-punch-down thing, but because the subject matter just doesn’t lend itself to comedy from a conservative perspective. Making fun of liberal politicians is difficult because their policies often seek to be more progressive and inclusive. Unless you wanted…

If it had been called a fumble on the field, I could have understood letting the call stand. But to see that replay and say there was significant enough evidence to overturn the call from a TD to fumble in the endzone is insane. It’s should-cost-someone-their-job level awful.

The stats don’t matter (especially that one stat where 14 of his 22 points came on free throws and he was playing the fuckin’ Nets [in the preseason])! What a talent! Pray for the taekmaekers. This is gonna be a fun season.

Do people who make the “I just want an escape for a few hours” argument even understand that the whole point of protesting is to make that impossible? When your argument is essentially “Well sure, black people think they’ve been treated unequally, but I want the chance to ignore that rather than being forced to…

I legitimately can’t comprehend the amount of denial you need to be in to see THIS petty, childish asshole as a strong leader.

Boo fuckin’ hoo right back at the Nationals. The Mets lost their starting third baseman (not a shock), their starting catcher (injury), their starting left fielder (injuries twice), their starting centerfielder (a fucking freak injury), their starting right fielder (trade), their starting second baseman (trade…

I genuinely don’t understand this. The guy’s a fuckin’ baseball player. They use nicknames all the time. How much of a self-serious asshole do you have to be to get annoyed by the prospect of the MLB equivalent of casual friday?

“Wait, you mean the multiple felonies I’ve bragged about longing to commit in the service of a cause that everyone hates causes actual legal consequences when I commit said felonies and makes everyone hate me?!” Who’d have fuckin thunk?

It certainly does seem like they kind of glossed over just how easy it would be to connect the dots with regards to Matt=Daredevil. I mean, among the people who were getting protection, it was known superhuman Luke’s friend (Claire), known superhuman Jessica’s friends (Malcolm and Trish), billionaire and known…

Good lord was Misty a big ol’ wet blanket throughout the season. They could not figure out what to do with her at or the cops in general, and so they just decided to make them a hindrance to the heroes. This works fine if it’s for 5 or 10 minutes or the police presence screws over the defenders in different and…

By the way, AV Club, unless I’m being an idiot (a distinct possibility), it appears there’s no link to get you back to the main AV Club page once you click on a tv or film club link. If true, that would be pretty fuckin stupid and inconvenient.

Am I alive? Am I a grey? Did Kinja kill me? Did Gwyneth Paltrow?! So many questions.

Whoa there. This guy (who apparently hangs out here enough to notice all the late night articles but hasn't commented on the site in a year because he's too cool [I guess?]) just called you all dorks. You gonna stand for that? Or more likely continue to sit for it?

The James Remar as sleazy step-dad Raiden and Glengarry Glen Kombat bits were amazing.

They did the exact opposite of the (relatively) grounded worlds of Flash-Arrow-Supergirl and just went full campy and crazy, which is exactly the kind of vibe a show about time traveling supermisfits should have. The pairings always make for good comedy, the villains realize how ridiculous they are, the moping is kept…

The situation with Smith and his son is probably the most engaging for me at the moment. The idea of a guy having to reconcile having personally presided over a death camp (if that's what the specifics of Cincinnati were) and having no problem with the mass extermination of burdens to the state with "I don't care,…

Yeah, there's no question that they always intended Ted and Robin to get together eventually and went "holy shit, it's gonna blow people's minds that the kids look the same as they did 9 years ago" and planned things from there (which makes that whole Robin flying away from the beach scene even more ridiculous in…
