Glad to see toxic masculinity is alive in well in pro sports. I was afraid it was all but dead.

People (and especially not me) didn’t go out of their way to dislike Scheyer. He is a symptom of the “annoying/tryhard white boy” stigma that is synonymous with Duke basketball, and therefore gets all of the hate (or “dislike” if you’d rather) that the team gets based on that perception. There’s nothing “out of the…
This great stuff, Roth. I love the look at the psyche of team “lifers” who are *so* invested in a team, they cannot divorce themselves from it, regardless of how unhealthy this is. That, in particular, speaks to me—I great up with dual fandom in my house. I grew up in Maryland, so we were a Caps/Nats/O’s/Skins…
My man, if you think it takes *any* “effort” to hate on Duke, I’m not sure what to tell you. Scheyer was intensely annoying. There’s a whole meme culture surround the faces he made during play, so it’s not like I’m the only one who felt this way.
I really enjoyed the first season of Riverdale. Loved it, even, and I was never a fan of Archie Comics. It feels—to me, at least—that the charm of that first season (or even the first half of the second season), has completely evaporated. I don’t know why, but I cannot get through a whole episode anymore, at least not…
Shit. I cannot believe I forgot to add him, but you’re absolutely right.
How can teams do this while still putting on watchable baseball for 29 fan bases? (The Orioles do not count.)
Seeing him eat ball and floor was somehow (!) less satisfying than I thought it would be. I couldn’t figure out why...so I thought about it, a lot. And then, it hit me.
Jrue’s no joke. If you’re not careful, he’ll damaja.
It’s always some big country-ass white dude who does this shit. HURR DURR I’M OUT HERE FARMING IN THE COLD WISCONSIN WINTER MANLY MANLY MAN-LIKE
Holy shit, he’s actually back.
I never owned a Caprice (though my mom did!), but my first car was a 4-door 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale V8(which, I think, was built off the Caprice platform). Tan, with brown rag, and burgundy (!) interior, IIRC. It was 1994. I was 16. It cost $1,000, and didn’t have a working speedometer the entire time I owned…
The three WWE PPVs have the most vivid memories of:
Maybe the “something to show for it” is all the friends we made along the way.
Seeing someone use more than three dots when they’re inserting ellipses into a sentence is infuriating.
He may say he didn’t mean to, but Lou Thesz he did.
it is undeniable that our team and fans were unfairly deprived of that opportunity yesterday
The only thing missing from this comment is something about how low his pad level is.
Okay, I’ll bite: the NFL wants this matchup because it wants Brady and Brees—Brady because of the Pats fanbase and Northeast TV ratings, and the Saints because they like making Brees the face of things they do.
