Compare the playoff games in the past 20 years. (25 years, 50 years, etc.)

That’s not a Pokemon, you idiot-by-proxy!

This just seems so obvious and sensible: the wheel stopped spinning, so that’s who they took. I don’t see why some egg heads have to overanalyze this.

So, does this mean that Kanye and Kim can be imprisoned for 10 years? Because not only do their actions seem roughly 2.5 times as odious, I dislike them by a factor of approximately 1.6 infinities more.

I do have a soft spot for punters, but then, I’m a Cleveland fan.

This will also come in handy in determining which receiver Derek Anderson was most likely trying to throw to.

This reads great as a straight question, as if White is genuinely curious. Cause otherwise, of course, he looks awfully, y’know, Dana White.

Wait, you’re going to make me watch a ginormous video when all I wanted was the list of who won? Did you get out of bankruptcy by getting bought out by ESPN?

Indeed, a very misleading headline.

The Miracle Mets win the 1969 World Series. My family was all Orioles fans, so my first formative sports memory was My Team Losing. I was living in Akron, where I grew up, thus establishing Cleveland Fandom, meaning this memory served me pretty much perfectly for the rest of my life until last month.

Moon Landing

You misspelled ... oh, wait ... nope, that’s the way you spell it, yeah.

It’s easy to see how the Cavs won their champeenship now, given they had over $100M of free agents on their bench.

I don’t see the issue: he was obviously just paying tribute to the memory of Buddy Ryan. As an honorary Canadian, he should obviously say, “Sorry,” but otherwise it seems quite touching.

It nags at me, but there’s absolutely nothing in this piece that makes me want to read Wallace’s essays. There is no hook that says, “You need to read this, because of Thing X.” He wrote words about tennis, and Michael Chang had a head like a mushroom. I am reminded of Gertude Stein’s description of Oakland.

Holy cow, so many actual answers. I had no idea people actually knew teenagers in Moose Jaw and Spitsbergen.

The Knicks have Porzingis, who is interesting to watch. The Kings have Cousins, who is interesting to watch. The Browns’ best player is Joe Thomas, and to measure whether he’s played well, you count the times you notice him and hope the number approaches zero.

Worst spelling of “Ray Farmer” I’ve ever seen.

David Thompson, Tom Burleson, and Monty Towe beat UCLA in 1974. UCLA never lost, and N.C. State was basically a guy who could grow, a guy who couldn’t, and a guy who would jump.

Wait, Ohio is in the USA, which is in the United States?
