“I also take issue with the fact that every time there is an article on Deadspin about Ray Rice there is also always a sentence or two bemoaning the fact that his wife is standing by him and supporting him in his rehabilitation.”

Two thank yous. First, for writing this, because I've been waiting for a good article on A Different World since it landed on Netflix.

Debbie Allen absolutely transformed this show into something fantastic, but I wish we could have seen Bonet on the show for at least one more season, with Allen in charge. It might not have worked, but it would have been nice to see Allen get a chance to try to make it work with Denise.

He’d be my second choice, but my number one has to be Congressman John Lewis. The man might be the single greatest living American.

If you don’t know Robert Downey Jr. doesn’t drink, I feel like you basically don’t know anything about him, which makes me wonder why you want to have a drink with him in the first place. Also, Downey Sr. is MUCH more interesting than his son. Go drink with that cat, and ask him a million questions about Putney Swope.

Are you implying that’s a contradiction? Here are two statements: 1) The refs were bad throughout the tournament. 2) Bo Ryan shouldn’t blame the refs for the loss tonight.

To their credit, everyone on Sportscenter called Ryan out on his bullshit. They weren’t too harsh — he did just lose a national championship — but to a man they all basically said “That wasn’t cool, Bo.”

Bo Ryan embarrassed himself tonight. First he blamed the refs for the loss, then he criticized other schools for “renting” one and done players. I can forgive guys for saying regrettable things in tough moments, but Bo spent several minutes after the game being a raging dick. I hate Duke as much as the next guy, but…

On the plus side, the Yankees will be lucky to win 80 games this season.

For some reason, Lucille Bluth saying “They don’t allow bees in here” is one of her best lines. It cracks me up every time, and I couldn’t possibly tell you why.

I thought Mindy’s book was funny, but it makes it pretty obvious that she prefers the company of white people and is kiiiiiind of a racist. Also, I think all her fans assume she’s a liberal because she’s a woman of color but, like her parents, she’s a conservative Republican. There’s a reason her boyfriend on TMP is a…

I’m not a Padres fan, but I hope the Padres have a great year, and I hope Tony Gwynn looks down upon the whole thing and smiles that Tony Gwynn smile, because it was the greatest smile.

Braves fans are going to be pissed, and with good reason, but this makes sense. The Braves are going to be terrible this year, and there’s no point in having a great closer if you’re never going to have a lead in the 9th. So fuck it, get something for him.

I feel like that was the exact moment Landry decided to start using steroids.

I maintain that this is the smartest comedy sketch anyone has done on TV since Chappelle’s Show. The Newsroom parody was great, but I wish this bit got as much attention as that one did, if not more.

I think this is the year Brett Lawrie puts it all together and becomes a great player. He’s really talented, and Billy Beane is a fucking wizard, so it’s now or never for him. Also, since David Wright had an injury-induced bad year, I think everyone is going to assume he’s on the decline, but I see him going right…

The tackle that destroyed Bo Jackson’s hip. It robbed us of at least 10 more years of arguably the greatest athlete that ever lived.

If any member of the Fab Five stepped on a player like that, they’d have been kicked out of the game and almost certainly suspended. Things like that are why I always say Laettner’s fans/supporters are much, much worse than Laettner.

To be fair, that was only 3rd down, and the Giants had already converted a 4th down on that drive. If anything, go back and change that 4th down conversion. Even better, have Moss make a miracle Randy Moss-like catch on the Hail Mary at the end.
