Also I know Bobby actually did have a union job on the Deuce, but I enjoyed his line about getting his union job back and took it as a shout out to Frank Sobotka. 

Loved the subtle reference to the wire. Black Frankie going off to Baltimore to help his cousin Nathan in the Lexington terrace projects. Nathan barksdale was the real person that Avon was supposedly based on.

Agreed. Trump is an idiot who hurts people through his blundering and greed, but Mitch seems to have sat down and carefully planned out how best to erode democracy and build systems of exploitation.

Username/comment synergy is always greatly appreciated.

Poor Lori. I can’t remember that last time I actually yelled out loud over a death on TV.

I just recently watched First Blood for the first time, knowing a little about the Rambo series, and was also surprised by that final scene in which Stallone breaks down crying saying he can’t do it anymore. Weirdly moving and sad considering I was trained to think ‘whoah, awesome, look at how cool he killed that guy’…

LOL

What is it with Indiana and murals?

Admitted Seahawk fan here. This statement could not be more spot on:

I’ve been a Seahawks fan for enough years to remember when we were garbage and hoped we wouldn’t be embarrassed when we actually got a primetime game. And now?

Dick’s.  He’s talking about Dick’s!

Seriously, you should. No, the talent is not NBA level, but it's on par with college basketball. Plus it's the only basketball available right now. Games are often on NBA tv if you get that. Unfortunately, my girls Sue Bird and Brianna Stewart are out for the season, but Sue is spending the season as a coach for the…

The only thing I learned from playing this mode was just how much I miss an NCAA/College Football game.

I feel similarly about watching Johan Santana in the mid 00's. His starts were class-skip-worthy offenses, and the feeling of the lineup and the whole team was just different when he was up there. I wanted so badly for him to overcome the shoulder injuries that started plaguing him even back in 2002/3. There were…

As a Sonics fan, watching Russ all alone and sad this year is gonna be great. 

“I didn’t want to be the ‘angry black woman’ but I wanted him to learn and feel that bottom-line loss,” she said. “You don’t go to Germany and wave the Nazi flag. It’s the same thing.”

As a medical writer, this article is complete garbage. I like—dare I say LOVE—using different kinds of dashes in all my science-related learning material (in fact, 80%–90% of all pieces I write use at least one hyphen, en dash, and em dash). They just need to be used properly. 

Welcome to the NHL!

I know, funny joke, haha, but that guy literally has downcast eyes (not a neck bent to check the beer), as if he’s just seen something awful and traumatic, and since he is a real person who did see something traumatic, maybe we shouldn’t be anonymous dicks to him on the internet...?

I have a better idea: move to the West Coast. Being a fan of sports out here is great. NFL at 10 am on Sunday? You bet! NBA Playoff games at 5 pm? Sign me up! MBL/NHL/MLS matches that also benefit from this? Probably!?!
