“She’s a Super Freak! Super Freak! She’s Super Freaky!!”

“You’re never going to see another candidate like him - that has the support of the people like he does - in your lifetime.”

“They seem perpetually embarrassed that they’re making superhero movies.”

Whenever someone who isn’t into hip hop asks me what they should listen to first, I always say A Tribe Called Quest. In my opinion, ATCQ is the most accessible act hip hop has ever produced. They somehow manage to be incredibly intelligent while still being so easy and fun to listen to. It’s a balance so few people

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any sports movie that I’d say is definitely better. You’re right.

Sugar might be the best baseball movie I’ve ever seen.

The only men that short who could so easily get away with that much sexual bravado were Phife and Prince. I really can’t think of anyone else.

“Coming with more hits than the Braves and the Yankees, living mad phat like an oversized mampi”

I have two major takeaways from this:

And the only reason it kind of fell off after season five was because the actors who played Becky and Darlene got older and went to college, so they weren’t available as regulars on the show anymore. And even with that, seasons 6-8 weren’t pretty good (the less said about season nine, the better).

It drives me nuts that people forget how good, and how important, Roseanne was. More often than not, when someone says “I can’t believe they did that on network television, that’s so progressive”, I think “They did that on Roseanne 25 years ago”.

Yeah. That was a really bad Superman movie, but it wasn’t Routh’s fault. That was good casting.

But my point is that it’s not necessarily a bad sign, because it’s by design. George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Christian Bale and Val Kilmer have all played Batman. But Superman? Those were all guys who kind of just blend in. Even Christorpher Reeve, after playing Superman in four very popular films, had a

Brandon Routh played Superman in a film just 10 years ago, and most people don’t recognize him as Superman either. If you mentioned him, I think most people would say “who the fuck is Brandon Routh?”

Weirdly, I think that’s why he was cast to play Superman. You can’t put a big name, or recognizable, man in that role. You have to see him only as Superman, not as any other actor in any other role. He’s too much of an icon/brand.

Maybe this is weird, but I think part of the reason Windhorst gets so much hate is because he’s on TV a lot and he’s really, really bad on television. As a reporter, he’s better than most. But on TV, he somehow comes off as both awkward and incredibly smug. That is not a combination that endears you to anyone.

There are four states where recreational weed is fully legal. All four of those states are less than 5% black. I’m sure that’s some sort of crazy coincidence.

Do you think Drew Brees is a part of the scam, or that he’s being scammed? Put another way: is Drew Brees an asshole or an idiot?

“I made this clear, back when shorty used to braid my hair on the project stairs” is probably my favorite Bruce Springsteen line.

Yup. The ‘80s Cleveland Browns, specifically.
