Sure, if you subscribe to the fallacy that science and faith are incompatible. I would wholeheartedly agree that the current incarnation of right-wing co-opting of the Jesus brand name is intellectually stunting, but science and faith are not incompatible, any more than leather car seats and telephones. One does not…

I hate to burst your bubble, but it has been documented that prayer and meditation actually increase brain activity.

We are ALL racist, whether you want to acknowledge that or not. It’s the self-awareness (or lack thereof) of our inherent prejudices that mitigates the amount of harm we do to each other with words or actions.

Again, didn’t come up with the Braves.

“Fucked up, tricked type” delivery? How so?

Didn’t come up with Braves.

Who else?

Close enough!

A home run pass? The sports cliche’ machine is broken.

Unless you count the one (and arguably two) QB who came into the league this year and started at a Pro Bowl level.

This is old hat for Braves fans. We are quite used to bats not making contact.

I miss Cracker Barrel so much. Been in CA for 20 years, and when I travel out of state, I line up for CB EVERY time I get the chance now. Grandpa’s Country Fried breakfast..... Gimme that apple butter and that sweet nectar of cheesy hash browns. Keep on bringing those mediocre biscuits drenched in gravy. What’s that?…

Or how about a Christian US President that refuses to recognize as genocide the slaughter and enslavement of thousands of middle-east Christians at the hands of an international terrorist organization, thereby denying those Christians the protection of the US as well as other foreign countries which said Christians…

This channel, Fs1, I have heard of it.

“Any Eastern European beer with a bear on the label may have actual bear IN it.”

As a former Casting associate that used to deal with agents and negotiated contracts, I am highly skeptical that your assumption about JK Simmons is correct. It is astounding how much some character actor you may not have thought about in years often gets paid for a day or two of work. And having cast at least one…

I agree - I’d rather see data from post 2009-2010 season, when sudden death was eliminated.

So this guy has a shtick where he bags on women. Everyone loses their shit and raises their pitchforks because most of us are no longer Cro-mags. This guys gets ratings. Deadspin has a shtick where they give free press to clowns like this and its readership loses their shit and this guy gets even more free press, but…
