Can I borrow your Sharpie?

(Those things ain't cheap.)

And you think Dahler based his question on common two TE sets?

Are you implying that Don Dahler *understands* metaphor, let alone tried to deploy it while asking a question of Rob Gronkowski?

Credit. You're giving him too much of it.

. . . played on opposite sides of the line . . .

So Don Dahler:

(a) Has no idea what position Gronkowski plays?

(b) Has no idea what position Hernandez played?

Like his brother, Snarles was a very cultured player.*

Was he ever more than a statistic to her? Seems like, with B37, that might've been the *best* Trayvon could've been . . . .

(Hope you're well, Pope!)

So in the 2015 version of EA "College Basketball" you can play as UCCLA?

Because Batman is not a real man.

Um, just so you know, David Brooks is the manliest man about every manly thing!

Just look.

He even talks on the phone like one of those "rugged, invulnerable" super-men:

True and true.

I'm all for structural reform (though I think it's about as likely as flying burritos), and I'm aghast and depressed at the way our society treats and ignores the plight of many of its members. (Did you see the Onion headline recently? Nation to Black Teenagers: Good Luck Out There . . . or some such…
