If it’s so great, let’s make it a regular feature of professional sports! Each year the team with the greediest owner will auction off all their players with a WAR above 0.5 for trades, draft picks, or an old pickup truck. Then they get to alienate the entire fanbase while taking in their share of lucrative broadcast…

People made fun of what a chump Wenger was after his best days were behind him, but damn, over-the-hill Mourinho is embarrassing. 

The answer is a resounding Yes!

I very much doubt the veracity of any of Mark Wahlberg’s schedule, except for the part about two 60+ minute workouts per day. The rest just seems like image marketing.

The only reason anyone should care about sports is that, in a world where everything else is digitized and automated, sports are the last vestige of actual physical activity left. Spending years and hundreds if not thousands of hours improving the fast twitch response in your thumb and index fingers isn’t…

This would be worrying if Instagram had been doing great business for Facebook on the back of the founders’ leadership. Instead, it’s become a bit of an albatross, and the Insta guys may have been an obstacle to reform the service to actually start making money. 

Did you see the replay? It definitely was to the face.

Gruden was right, though. His tackle production has already dropped off 40% over the season, and it’s only week 3. At this rate, by the end of the season, he’ll have -8 tackles per game. When you’re a serious team trying to win, you can’t have that kind of guy around.

I think the Fyre Festival and luxury festivals in general are a great idea, and I’m sad this seems to have spoiled the perceived viability of the concept. I mean, think about it - all the trust fund kids, Instagram models, and tech douchebros could go there, be obnoxious, and get their media attention while he rest of…

The NCAA sided with the school instead of the student because the schools are where the money comes from. People watch the NFL to see good players. They watch college football to see their schools. 

The only good type of ketchup is curry ketchup. Everything else can fuck itself.

Hard cheeses are relatively safe. Soft cheese are not. 

Problem A: Most origin stories are pretty lifeless (unless they’re the most interesting thing about the character, i.e. Iron Fist), and get even worse when everybody knows it already but you spend 30+ minutes anyway. Things that provide psychological motivations make some sense (Batman’s parents being killed, Peter…

I have such a love/hate relationship with this film. Overall I like Ang Lee’s artistic sensibility in this film, both in terms of themes and cinematography.. At the same time, his character direction inexplicably sucked, and by the third act the film no longer makes sense (which may not be Lee’s fault). I think a much…

It’s only illegal if they’re not a liberal protester.

I’m probably in the minority here but I think tie results are fine. If anything, there should be more of them, since the OT process is so unfair anyway. Ties are frustrating now because they happen so rarely it feels random, but narratively they’re great, because both teams get the inspiring story that they nearly…

De Butthurtibus non est disputandum

The only thing more boring than Chevy Chase, Marlyand is Chevy Chase, the actor.

Drugs are actually a huge problem in equestrian events, although in the opposite way: if you can dope up a competitor’s horse, they’ll perform poorly. Competition horses need to be under round the clock security to protect them from foul play.

Which means they must actually think he’d be a good choice? I hate this fucking party.
