It’s a shame the type of truck isn’t identified. It can’t be some actual rare vehicle that it makes sense for people to get pissed over right? Gotta be some 2004 F150 that’s composed mostly of a lift kit and rust right?

The whole “we’re more than just fans” / “part of the community” garbage is the biggest scam pro sports have ever pulled on the fans*. The team doesn’t give a crap about you or your community except insofar as you’re a source of revenue. If your children’s-hospital-QB player starts sucking horrifically on the field,…

Mr. Marchman, you seem way too negative here. With 20 staffers, they might be able to produce three or four blog posts a month! It might not match the legendary output of, say, a 75-year old retired person blogging about knitting, but you gotta start somewhere.

Other fantasy authors with large-scale epics in the same timespan: Stephen King 18, Brandon Sanderson 20, Jim Butcher 14, Terry Pratchett 19. Not sure I can buy the “he really likes writing”…

Incorrect. The rule against trading first rounders has nothing to do with the current Brooklyn mess and actually dates back to the early 1980’s, when Cleveland’s owner Ted Stepien was so incompetent at trades that they had to institute a rule against trading consecutive future first round picks. They also forced him…
