Here’s our dirty little secret: we were never the better team. You could say that’s me being modest, but I’m going to tell you what, stealing a few rings is waaaaaaay better than being the better team that wins them. You cherish those wins.

Those weird noises he was making during a replay of a catch were the icing on the cake “HUURRGGHHH HMMMMM MMMEEEEE AAIIII”

Right, the Patriots offensive linemen just NEVER hold. They’re that good! Right?

In their three most important games this season (Steelers and two playoff games), the Patriots got hit with seven penalties for 51 yards. Their opponents got hit with 22 for 223 yards. If the Raiders could play a single game wearing Patriots jerseys I bet they could get through it without getting a single flag.

Counterpoint: Fuck Boston.

Sweet, melancholy Christ, Romo was EXCEPTIONALLY horrendous tonight. “AH DON’T KNOW, JIM! HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS LOOKIN’ AT THE DEFENDER COCK-EYED! I THINK THIS ONE’S COMIN’ BACK!!!!”

We are an angry people.

“We’re talking about kids, that are thinking about trying to put the ball in the basket.”

We would all be so much better off if we could come terms with the fact that racism is etched into every single person’s DNA. Singling out the Other and tribalism served an evolutionary purpose, but we dont live in that brutal Prisoner’s Dilemma of a world anymore. Those tendencies will always be there and the only…

If calling someone a racist is so bad, maybe don’t be a racist?

Idiot

I went to Journalismism school at the same time that Seth Wickersham and Wright Thompson were there. And I say “with” purely in the sense that we were all enrolled in J-school at the same time and they wouldn’t know me from Adam, given that the most important thing I learned at J-school is that I wasn’t going to make…

All the guys I play hoop with are fucking flying around the country taking in as many U2 shows as they can. The guys range in age from 38 to 50, so squarely middle aged. The kicker is that if the kids are old enough (say 10 and up), they drag them along too. They talk about these shows like they’re a religious…

It’s not that he didn’t evolve, it’s that he got old and rich and connected but tries to pretend he’s still in the same place. He can’t do “the voice of a fan” shit anymore because he hasn’t been a regular fan (or spoken to one) in over a decade.

The incredible innovation of writing two articles a week of casual prose and posting them online doesn’t get someone a lifetime pass able to handwave away all criticism of his turning into an incredibly lazy hackish writer the previous version of himself would have roasted on a regular basis.

(And there’s another…
