This is not a bad dinner date story so much as a “it could have been our last meal together” story.

CONSUMER WARNING: You’re going to need something stronger than a couple of squirts of Pam for this product. W-S recommends WSKY Bundt Lube. 

So typical Deadspin. Criticize the game, and it's sexist! Magary is at least an apologist buttkisser. You would fail as a high school sports writer. 

I wandered who'd be first with that. 

I thought Dan Fouts was the MFIC?

Seltzer water, alcohol apparently made from cane sugar thus gluten free and some fruit flavor. Basically something a talented high school chemistry student could produce. The sucker aspect is the price is the same as a good craft beer.

Either that or replace him with the Writhing Striker of the Week. What a meal a good striker would have made of such an opportunity. And there’s always “down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!!"

The Patriots have had two regular starters since 1994. A very good to excellent QB in Bledsoe followed by the GOAT. Or are you arguing that Brissett should have remained the starter once Brady came off suspension? Of course, all Brady did that season was being named Super Bowl MVP. But that would mess with your mojo.

The cricket legend Ian Botham (in a much less sensitive era) had a stock response for that: "the wife is fine, the kids are retarded."

Sorry superstar, but they've been called that for at least 15 years. They now acknowledge that by including an accent aigu at the end of their commercials. 

I couldn't agree more. His autobiography not only teaches about the classic (?) apprentice system but also his boldness to come to the US. And become chef de cuisine at Howard Johnson's! 

I know this is over eight years late, but that picture of Crusher above... put a monocle on her and you have Colonel Klink. 

Thanks, Captain Obvious. 

“Uncertainly Principle?" Needless to say, I did not bother with the remainder of the excerpt. 

I am sure Torontonians, though awash in the irony that their Original Six hockey team hasn’t touched the Cup in over 50 years and the Blue Jays have managed only one AL East win since their WS days, will happily remind us that basketball was invented by a man born in Canada.

Amen to that. I sat across the table from him (yes, I was management), but he’s bluster without substance. I have never understood how he was elected into Union leadership roles. 

For the 12 people remaining who give a fly about tennis?

Agreed, great comment. I am surprised the Mets haven’t found a way over the years to lease that space from the government so they could charge for parking. It’s really not a long walk.

Ah, indeed, Humpty Dumpty. Words mean what you choose them to mean, neither more or less? The term has a rather clear definition, was used improperly here, and it is fair to call it out.

I don’t think your kid lying about brushing his or her teeth constitutes gaslighting. The kid is not engaging in an active strategy to manipulate, control or cause the parent to doubt his or sanity or worth— really merely trying to bluff out of a scrape. Also, saying something like “books are worthless” brings to mind…
