I don’t feel too bad for A’s fans. Outside of the Yankees, they’re the only team in my lifetime to go to three straight World Series. And as long as they have Billy Beane, they’ll never suck for too long.

The fact that it started under Selig is what really stuns me. Selig literally used to brag about the fact that he didn’t have an email address, as if it was some kind of badge of honor. Whoever pushed for MLB to be this proactive on the internet — they went from the worst at it to being the best in just a few years —

Sure, it’s partially luck, but that luck comes from his style of play. He’s #3 all time on the list of consecutive starts for a QB, and the guy at #2 is his brother. That’s not a coincidence. I don’t think “durability” is necessarily an inherent characteristic for either of them, but those two were taught how to avoid

Here’s the thing about Eli. Of the three QBs in his draft class, he’s clearly the worst. But he’s also never missed a start in his career. So yeah, Roethlisberger is better, but 16 games of Eli is probably more valuable than 10 games of Ben, especially if one of the games he misses is a playoff game.

And that attention to detail in his fielding won him 18 Gold Gloves.

Goddamn it. I can’t stop laughing at this. He named 19 people!!!

Nothing beats Marreese Speights. Nothing.

I’m starring this partially because you’re right, but mostly for the Ronald Wimberly reference.

If I could photoshop a crying Superman holding a dead RGIII, I’d do it.

If you’re dumb enough to pay $12 for a sandwich — a fucking sandwich — you have much bigger problems than not getting sides.

Good god. Why was Leslie in Houston on MLK Jr. Day? I would be terrified to be in Houston on MLK Jr. Day.

“John, your No. 1 receiver is 53 years old.”

Thank you. This is White Privilege at its finest. White liberal also used to yell at MLK Jr. and others for criticizing LBJ. Before that, they yelled at black leaders who criticized FDR. Going back further than that, they mocked Frederick Douglass for being highly critical of Lincoln. Each time, the sentiment is the

Yes. I, too, am excited to see a white person play an Asian hero. This is a rare and bold decision from Hollywood.

“There are images of foreign lands, possibly Chinese. It’s there he meets The Ancient One, played by... a white person, because Hollywood is fucking terrible.”

Yeah. I mean, I understand why this is in the news, but there’s a part of me that feels like we didn’t have a right to know this. Her parents have been through enough.

Now playing

Cuban Linx is probably the best Wu-Tang album, and Nas has the best verse on it.

Odom’s had such a shitty life. His dad was a heroin addict, his mom died from cancer when he was a kid, and his six-month-old baby died from SIDS, which is one of the most fucked up ways you can lose a child. And despite it all, he managed to still be a really nice guy.

Now playing

Sly Stone. I could listen to the Dead Presidents soundtrack every day.

When asked in an interview with New York Magazine about Straight Outta Compton and misogyny, F. Gary Gray gave quite possibly the shittiest answer imaginable:
