It didn't occur to me until this week that the Cowboys' last three games were Sunday night, Thursday afternoon, then Thursday night, meaning they played three football games in 12 days. How the fuck does the NFL look at that schedule and say "Yeah, that's works"?

Since this is Portland, I imagine the protesters are marching to the Moda Center because the players on the Blazers are pretty much the only black people in the entire city.

How many point guards in the league would you take over John Wall right now? I've got CP3, Westbrook, Tony Parker, Steph Curry and, if he's healthy, Derrick Rose. Lowry is really good but not as talented, and Irving and Lillard are basically allergic to defense, though Lillard has gotten a little better. If I were

Also worth noting: if you have the Ovation channel (I have no idea what that channel is, but apparently it exists!) Dune is on today.

I think the only real salve to Jets fans is the fact that Mark Ingram is currently in prison.

I've been a Met fan for nearly 30 years, but Mussina is one of my favorite players to come through New York in my lifetime. Mussina was so much fun to watch that I was willing to suffer through listening to Michael Kay every five days to see him pitch. That is the highest compliment I have ever given another man.

It's not enough to say "That's the greatest catch I've ever seen." I can't even imagine a scenario in which someone could make a more difficult catch than that. Maybe if you were upside down and blindfolded, I guess.

If you could move any NBA player onto another team, which player and which team?

A few people recommended that article to me back in April, and I completely forgot to read it because I'm dumb. Thanks man. And agreed on Vice. Weirdly, I think Vice Sports is the only branch of Vice that I actually like.

What's the best article you've read so far this year, and/or what writer have you discovered this year whose work you really like?

I kind of love that there's a BET Award on a "Best Awards and Titles" list that also includes an award named after the the man who created Ebony White. Still, kudos for including the Eisners.

I only remember Bumgarner throwing two strikes that entire inning: the pitch Butler fouled out on, and the one Gordon hit that turned into a comedy of errors in the outfield. Those were the only two pitches anyone had a chance on. I felt terrible for Butler, because he KNOWS he missed that pitch, and it's going to eat

Mike Trout in year one or year two maybe scores there too, but definitely not these days with the extra pounds he put on. Jarrod Dyson on the Royals probably scores there too, which is a painful thought for Royals fans tonight.

Whoever said Mr. A should be on this list gets a point. He and The Question are the only cool objectivists ever.

Jubilee's real name is Jubilation Lee, and her superpower is making fireworks. She's basically a poor man's Dazzler, and you guys left Dazzler off the list!

I love Iron Fist, but the fact that he's a blonde haired, blue eyed white man represents everything that was wrong with race in Marvel comics in the '70s. Well, that plus the fact that Luke Cage got his superpowers while in prison, because OF COURSE HE WAS IN PRISON. Still, Heroes for Hire is the shit.

No, this is the second worst idea. Darren Wilson and Michael Brown costumes are the worst idea, and you know that's coming.

When I first saw this, I thought it was just Phil retweeting some random guy on twitter. Who, exactly, is Flea? Can someone help me out here?

I love that, in 2014, people get more upset when you laugh at a dog than when you laugh at a blind kid trying to play football (and I say this as someone who laughed really, really hard at the vine of the blind kid playing football).
