To be kind of fair, don’t Yinzers hate him now?

We did some dumb stuff in my day as far as joke awards at banquets, and it probably wouldn’t fly today (nor should it), but this is so much worse for two reasons:

I’m going to say something unpopular here, but I think it’s worth saying: Bernie would have been just as embarrassing a president as Trump was. Overall he wouldn’t have been as bad, he would have been much better simply by virtue of not being a megalomaniac with fascist sympathies, but nothing Bernie said on the…

1. In principle, yeah, you want the sport to be pure and noble. The problem is that pure and noble football is boring as shit. You saw it just this past season: special protections for quarterbacks (impure) meant offenses were a little freer and more dynamic (exciting). I don’t think anyone’s tried to put together a th…

This is stupid. It’s a widely accepted principle of common law that a protected label may be used in compounds as an analogy as long as it’s obvious that the compound label is differentiated from the label by itself. You can call yourself “The Computer Doctor” without going to med school. “Root beer” doesn’t have to…

That’s using the Mach number for sea level, which is not the altitude planes cruise at. Mach 0.8 at 35,000 ft is about 530mph.

The Oscars are terrible. As bad as they are on TV, being there in person must be 100 times worse.

The NBA All-Star Game is the only one of the four major sports that even remotely lives up to the hype.

That’s one thing Jehovah’s Witnesses got right, in my view. Pledging allegiance to an inanimate object is idolatrous, and no Christian, Muslim or Jew should condone it.

Yeah? So? Normally I’m not one to defend sportscasters, as they are a blight on those of us who come for the sports and not the commentary, but Deadspin calling someone out for wanting anything both ways is the kettle being called black by a collapsed star. Your own writers are on a crusade to confront the NFL on its…

That’s capitalism for ya! 

Parents shouldn’t be allowed at kids’ sporting events.

You clearly read American Gods.

I think the settlement was due to stuff that would have come up in discovery but wouldn’t have decisively settled the case. Which, really, isn’t surprising: given how polarized US politics is currently, any given response by the league office and the ownership would piss off at least half the NFL’s audience. E.g. if…

Well. It’s like this: if every player is a free agent all the time, teams in second-tier markets disappear fast. Average salary goes up, but the total number of players in the big leagues goes down as something like a third to a half of all teams fold outright. Which is bad for baseball players as a professional…

I mean, it’s fair to say that many of the regional wrestling stars like Piper and maybe Albano were “real” in the sense that their wrestling ability was real and they could have won shoot matches had they occurred. It was McMahon that figured out that not only does the WWF/E not need to be paying state athletic…

Joe Rogan always struck me as an earnestly decent with an annoying voice and the unfortunate tendency to buy into whatever line of jive someone’s giving him. Maybe not whole hog, but still the kind of “both sides”-ism that makes mainstream media unwatchable, like his take on 9/11 that there was no conspiracy, but the…

Tijuana Tequilas. Fuuuuuuck NFL make this happen!

Is this another one of those “He stole my song!” moments like the time that guy said Macklemore ripped him off because both songs used their synthesizer’s saxophone?

Mothafuckas Touchin’ my Ass.
