That little dart throw is ridiculous and shouldn’t physically work like it does.

Everyone has done something shitty. Everyone. I think it’s best to avoid lionizing people or putting them on pedestals. Applaud them when they do good things, but don’t trick yourself into thinking that they can do no wrong. That’s not fair to you or them.

You’re welcome.

Eat shit.

#4 angries my inner nerd, who is also my outer nerd.

Not necessarily. The receiver then has to maintain control of the ball through the process of going to the ground (if they’re going to the ground when the catch is made). The ‘broken plane’ rule is more for a ballcarrier who reaches the endzone from the field of play, like if there’s a possible fumble while they’re…

I’m grinning so hard right now. Whatever you do next, John, even if it’s just some hobby or personal project, you go kick its ass.

One message from one random person that, from what I read, he probably wouldn’t be able to find anyway, isn’t going to make John Cook feel any better. Fuck it, I’m gonna write it anyway:

Well, congratulations, I guess. Just try to remember that not everyone is as universally-enlightened as you.

I don’t think he ever said he didn’t realize that it would be tough and scary, but there’s conceptualizing a thing, and then there’s actually doing a thing. You think about how scary it might be to be a black man raising a black boy in a place that hates them, but to actually have a kid imminently inbound probably…

I mean... seriously? This is a sport known for hooligans and riots.

This is so salty it gave me heartburn.

Worthless? I mean, you’ve obviously seen our GDP...

Nobody gets in this business by being reasonable human beings.
