I'm 25, living in New York and while I'm familiar with him (and don't doubt he's the third biggest regularly touring stand-up guy in the game), when I was asking my pals about this over the past week hardly any of them had actually heard his act or seen him perform (on TV in roles or doing stand-up or otherwise).…

Why did the Bill Cosby thing blow up this time around? It's not like the rape rumors were a big secret and I don't think Hannibal Buress is a big enough celebrity to have actually caused this big a movement (I might be wrong there though).

So did you guys win your game?

Planes Trains and Snowmobills....

I wish we could bring this tradition to the United States. The one where at big playoff hockey games in Canada, the anthem singer just holds the mic up and lets the crowd take over. I don't think it could work though and that's not because of public apathy or lack of patriotism. I'd argue it's because of the song.

Goddamnit you guys, the joke is that he won't use LIGHTswitches anymore!

All I know is, he'll never be able to light up a room the way he used to... And that might cause him to run into a lot of obstacles (chairs, specifically)

well hopefully the light will pop on in their heads eventually....

God, I know he's gotta make some changes to the way he lives his life, but he's really never gonna use a switch again? He'll probably spend a lot of time fumbling through the darkness to find an alternative...

T.J. Oshie: Dude! Did you see this video where the golden retriever fucks up the obstacle course??

Never listened to these guys (have no ties to Chicago) until now... but this exchange just pulled me in and made me wish I'd been listening.

In my time covering sports for a small market television affiliate I found the biggest motive to bury a story almost always had to do with access. The news outlet needs the subject more than the subject needs the news outlet.

He must've felt the same way when his mom threw away his best porno mag...

Tim, do you speak pretty fluent Spanish? Not trying to be snarky, but it seems like you make it a point to use Deportes videos and it's gotta be a little maddening to watch full games in a different language if you're not fluent in it.

Forrest Gump's kid sure turned into a dick

How about this? If Hart dies in 1998, when he's at his peak popularity. Do you think he gets a state funeral?

Ehhhh.... I dunno about WMXIV. Shawn's back was royally fucked up at that point. After the loss to Austin he could hardly even walk and actually retired for 5 months. I don't think he was fighting to hang onto the belt at that point.

In Alberta he might.

Take it easy, I didn't say that was the general consensus of the entire country. He was humongous in Canada though. The entire Hart family was.
