My theory:

Too bad you didn’t go with “One way to shock the heart is to deliver a strong, swift kick to the groin.” 

When I was a kid, I had a this weird clown tapestry in my bedroom. It was a craft that my mom had done while pregnant with me. I don’t have coulrophobia, but that one clown was scary af. Fast forward to my late 20's, and we have a yard sale. I see the clown is one of the items for sale and mention how much that thing…

No. Absolutely not. I don’t know you, and have zero evidence on which to draw a reasonable and rational conclusion, on you or your motives.

I’ve never made the “this person is from X place, and thus is a racist.” What I’m arguing against is plain stupidity. Arguing that people from a certain place all act like “Y” is the same type of lazy stereotyping that allows for real racists to gain power and traction. Once you assign large groups of people a…

Yes, Boston has a history of racism in the past, and yes, you’ll find people who harbor racial prejudices in Boston. Those are true for nearly every city, and not really an effective way to measure “how racist is a city?” Since cities consists of tens of thousands to millions of people, trying to argue whether City Z…

I saw Espinal play this season with the NH Fisher Cats in late August. My best friend, an Orioles fan, kept remarking “This is the guy Toronto got for 2014 Orioles MVP Steve Pearce”

Hall of Famer Elston Howard. First African American MVP, 12x All-Star, 6x WS Champion. First African American coach in MLB. #32 in Monument Park. A quiet legend, because he passed relatively young in 1980 due to a heart condition. 

Howard and Jetes in terms of being remembered as Yankees. Then you have notable Yankees who are Hall of Famers but also had a lot of success elsewhere like Reggie and Dave Winfield. Plus then you get a lot of really good players who didn’t make the Hall, like Willie Randolph or Bernie Williams. And then of course…

Two years ago, the Mass Legislature passed a bill prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity. This year a ballot question is trying to “veto” that bill.

Mathematically and probabilistically speaking, you’d expect about half the teams to finish below .500.

We found Dan Shaughnessy’s burner!

Enervated. That is simply fantastic word usage. 

Also don’t forget the lack of African Americans!

Now Fitzy, Fitzy’s are everywhere, from Lynn to Walpole, except for some neighborhoods in Rozzie, AND THEY FAHKING KNOW WHY.

John Gruden: The league needs tough players. I want to see grit.

Always appreciated! Thank you

Oh, I full agree with you, and thus was the point I’m trying to make. Mahomes’ skills fit into Reid’s strengths as a head coach, thus a perfect situation. The hope is that the strengths will eventually outweigh the weaknesses in Reid’s situational awareness and decision making, that have plagued him in previous years. 

Sorry. Clunky writing there. In terms of talent and skill, Mahomes reminds me most of Rodgers, in terms of arm, accuracy, mobility, and ability to read the defense. However, the difference comes between Reid’s ability (so far) to maximize Mahomes’ skill within the Chiefs offensive game planning, whereas McCarthy’s…
