In the late 90s there was an attempt by Spain to detain and try Chilean Dictator Auguste Pinochet for Human Rights abuses. I remember during that time some news stories came out linking Pinochet’s regime to drug trafficking in more overt and explicit ways than the more murkier relationships in other Latin American…

My instinct would have been to go with Prince’s P-Control. 

I’m not sure. But I did have two whoppers junior for lunch today. 

As a NHL season ticket holder, Ottawa only exists as a funny word to use to replace the word “Panama” in the Van Halen song, “Panama”

After 5 Super Bowls in the Belichick-Brady era, the biggest disappointment for my mom after losing to the Eagles in last year’s Super Bowl was having to pay full price for her coffee that Monday morning.

Gruden feels like the NFL’s version of Barry Melrose. Replace the mullet with perpetual tumescence over QB film, and they are dead ringers. 

Or at Hooters.

Actually you captured the spirit of Belichick pretty well. He’s the most loquacious when asked about the history of the NFL, of which he has an encyclopedic knowledge. If you had waxed philosophically for 2000 words about a pair of pants Coco Chanel wore at her Paris atelier in 19 Aught Dickety, but then when asked…

Context also matters. The Reed moment was at the start of a Game 7 in the NBA Finals against the Lakers. This was week 1 against the Bears. It’s still great to see comebacks and athletes over come adversity, but let’s turn the hyperbole faucet down a bit people. 

Michael’s comparing Rodgers performance to Willis Reed was a bit much. It was the first game of the season against the Chicago Bears, FFS. As exciting of a game it was to watch from a neutral perspective, the announcing was particularly fawning and cloying on both sides.

Let’s go chewable beer! 

I’m thinking the same thing because ranch has never been a standard option. THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN DOVES CRY.

New Englander here.

Way to bury the lede. Chicken fingers and ranch dressing? I don’t know if you are history’s greatest monster or genius.

Anyone with the accuracy of a drunk Tim Tebow can find the dumb Eagles fan. 

Does that mean all the QBs are now power bottoms? 

It’s not a trophy unless you can drink out of it. Otherwise it’s just a glorified paper weight. 

Don’t forget calling everyone named Campbell “Soup” and everyone else a two-syllable nickname ending in “Y”. 

Vive la difference, F Les Habitants! 

I also meant to add. If part of life that you enjoy is watching football and riding the wave of Eagles fandom, then that’s fine too. But it’s now a choice, and not one forced upon you from a shared cultural history of losing. In 2013, the morning after the Red Sox won the World Series, I was driving in to work. I…
