Really? You think that if he struggles at the big league level he might be emotionally scarred to the point of destroying his potential? That’s a pretty dim view of the kid. If the kid is any good, he can handle a few set backs.

I don’t wear flip-flops, but I will wear slides. Is that a distinction without a difference?

It’s far more common among Cubans, but there was a spread throughout the Caribbean. His father, after whom he was named, was born at a time when it was more prevalent. You’re right though, it is unusual.  But it does make sense.

You need to do a little homework, and you’ll see why it makes sense.

I can’t watch NASCAR, but I love Indycar.  I used to watch a lot of F1, but it’s just too boring.  There’s more action in half an Indycar race than in half a season of F1.  

Well, they’re not wrong. Nobody asks, or chooses to be born. If you’re going to unilaterally inflict life upon someone, you shouldn’t need applause to reinforce your own choice on an annual basis. Seems a little shallow and desperate, no?

I swear that I have never in my life even heard of a gender reveal party. I know a lot of people, and many of them have made babies, and never once has this come up.

Chili’s isn’t great, but it’s miles better than Olive Garden.  

Bergeron, Marchand and Pastrnak is the best line in hockey.

And how many of those AAA stars made a dramatic impact as both pitchers and hitters?  It’s okay to be skeptical, but appreciate the unicorn until it proves unworthy.  

This sounds like a Japanese game show.  

Judging by the gut on that thing, he’s got a couple of deer in his belly.  Just not hungry anymore.  

The difference is that the Yankees built the stadium basically next door to the old one.  Could you do that in Boston?  I get the sense that Sox fans wouldn’t put up with some suburban stadium in Foxboro or something.  

You can argue all day about whether or not a team is an asset to a city, but I believe that facilities are. If your city has a modern arena, you’re going to get all the big concerts, you’re going to attract all sorts of sporting events, and your city will be a better place. When you have a great facility in a good and…

My favourite McDavid highlight is when he signed for another eight years in Edmonton.  

Last year, McDavid was on a team that got 104 points and was one win shy of the Western Conference final so we’ve seen him on a good team very recently. Also, he’s 21 years old and nowhere close to entering his prime.  

Nah, you’re not the only one.  I’d never even heard of it until now, let alone played it.

I never got tired of the horrible ways Jimmy got hurt nearly every episode. His fight with the women’s soccer team nearly made me pee my pants.

I was down to five network shows. With B99, LMOE, and the Mick gone, all we watch is Bob’s Burgers and Good Place.  

Truly one of the most original, and consistently compelling shows on TV. It could be hit and miss, but they had so much freedom to do interesting things within the world they created that it was always worth watching just to see what they might do next.  When it was good, it was great.
