Pablo Sandoval: [immediately begins to leak from stitching]

I can’t figure out the character criticism. This is of course anecdotal, but my friends and I actually like that the characters are kind of norms compared to The Walking Dead where the characters are ALL CAPS COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS. Like in the real world, why would Jesus run around in a leather trench coat, gloves and…

There. Fixed it for you.

I would write a long and detailed essay on why this should not happen and how bad and dangerous an idea it is but i dont feel like stressing myself out, so i will just say......

Please shut up. Matt Barnes has no claim on his estranged wife’s love life. She is not his property, and if she and Fisher want to be together, so be it. That is her decision and Fisher’s decision, and Matt Barnes has no right to attempt to violently deal with it. I understand his being upset - it is not an easy thing…

If the Patriots moved to St. Louis I wouldn’t have been surprised if any team relocated to New England in 1995 or soon afterward. This is a franchise that considered Birmingham as a possible location at one point in their history. Sullivan/Foxboro Stadium was a barely acceptable venue, so someone would have to build a…

I always felt, if the Mayors of all the major cities wanted to at least try and have a spine...at the least, when the local government agrees to subsidize a stadium deal...that they include in that a stipulation that in the event of that deal expiring or being backed out of by the team....that the team “identity”…

The only places Boston could have put a stadium within the city limits would have been someplace in the South Boston Waterfront (where the new Convention Center wound up) or in the shadow of the airport in East Boston which was, at the time Before the Ted Williams Tunnel opened, a huge pain in the ass to get to or…

The Patriots did have a deal in place to leave Foxboro. They were going to be part of a huge riverfront development in Hartford and had an agreement in place in November 1998 to move. Pretty sure it was just an extorsion move by Bob Kraft to get MA state money for Gillette (then it was CMGI Field) and it worked. All…

I’m thinking Bob Kraft calls Art Modell if that happened.

“in a fucking “right-to-work” state. If I wasn’t expected to “make up” the time I was taking a lunch break, believe me I’d fucking take it”

^^THIS. The erosion of unions is a bunch of medieval bullshit. The 1% have *all time record profits* and productivity, yet they want more, are greedy f*cks and will ride you to…

I can’t wait for Michael B. Jordan to get a title shot because of this.

Cleveland! Its like St. Louis but with self awareness!

“Feds Raid Hoverboard Booth at CES”

While the documentary did not convince me that this man was innocent or that his family was a collection of saints, the prosecution’s case seemed to be full of gaping holes and contradictions. If Avery is guilty, the prosecution made a mockery of his victim’s death by failing to find out the truth behind her murder in…

Yeah, normally I don’t criticize io9 authors, but this is straight up factually wrong. Arcade games made more money in ‘82 than every major league sport combined.

Narratively, the idea of a video game being a secret recruiting tool for a huge military operation is something that seems way more appropriate now, 30 years later, than it did in 1984. At that time, video games were popular but were a few years from really exploding in a mainstream way.

Bonus tip: if you steal other player’s goals, you are the worst kind of filth.

My favorite part is when the Nazis used the Dora cannon against one of their ships and they're losing their shit because they don't understand why their anti-missile defence can't stop a high velocity 7 ton shell! The way Turtledove writes that scene cracks me up! XD
