Yeah, but George helped him a lot with writing it. (And then wrote both of Ringo’s best solo songs.) I love Ringo, and personally think he’s hugely underrated as a member of the band, but a great songwriter he ain’t.

“Anybody who could ever look to leave a classy situation like the Giants organization and disrespect the Maras like that.. Mike! You there? Sounded like you nodded off a little there buddy, but as I was saying the disrespect shown to the Maras...”

Man, knowing what to believe will be a real conundrum for a good 90% of NFL fans. On the one hand, this is perfectly on-brand for Gregg Williams and his well-documented history of this very sort of thing, but on the other, one of the involved parties is a black male in a hoodie.

Do football coaches know that football is entertainment, and that people are most entertained when the star players aren’t being scraped off the floor? These guys all view themselves as Hannibal despite the fact they direct 11 guys at a time to move a ball downfield for money.

Listen this is bullshit. Clearly OBJ is lying because anyone who would go take a boat trip during an offweek can’t be trusted...

So what you are saying is that when a more attractive option came along for Diaz, he took it notwithstanding that he had already made a commitment to Temple?  I struggle to see how any of the additional detail, while interesting, renders the basic description of Diaz’s actions in this article as “disingenuous” or…

Hey, looks like there will be a “Manny Diaz has a Deadspin burner account” story soon.  

Wow, it seems like there’s a rift happening between the Beatles.

“You four Beatles! Stop fighting here in India!”

Am I the only one on this side of the Atlantic who likes “Mull of Kintyre”?

That’s gonna have to be split up into another double album. Side one alone is going to top out at more than 30 minutes.

Transcript from the video:

We have top men working on how to blame it all on Yoko as we speak. Top men.

The truth is that Lennon announced he was quitting to the rest of the group on 9/20/69, just 12 days after this recording. At this point, Lennon was probably going through the motions of a business meeting, working up the resolve to just end it.

Let’s be honest, Ringo was not only OK with this, he was probably vexed that he had to come up with two songs.

He’s still got blisters on his fingers, but yeah, he’ll be fine.

I never understood why they got so much flack for that. Nearly everyone is bigger than Jesus. People were really fucking short back then.

Ringo never really pushed to get cuts on their albums like George did, and hadn’t written much (if anything) by that point. This article also leaves out that John mentioned the 2 tracks for Ringo were“if he wants them”, implying he might not.

Coachella reunion set anyone?!

So now that all this is out in the open, the lads can get back into the studio and get the album out for Christmas, right??
