I hate that reasoning. “Dude, where were you when they sucked? And you call yourself a fan.” Where was I when they were trading for Matt Morris for no reason? Enjoying life, I suppose. There’s nothing pleasant about watching a shit team for 150-plus games. I paid attention, went to the occasional game, but - I mean,…

God, I love that.

You can do whatever you feel like, baby. It’s your time and money, and your interest. Fuck ‘em.

BURMA. That is all. (And notsomethingstructural is entirely right about Big Pun. I don’t even like hip-hop, by and large, but that guy was astonishing.)

Objectively speaking, there is no reason that the Lions should have been this bad for this long.

I found Deadspin in mid-’06, not long after I started following sports again, and it’s not an exaggeration to say it was revelatory. Finally, people - smart, acerbic people - who loved sports but hated the pomposity of most sports coverage and were doing something about it. All the writers seemed not terribly older…

This is one of my favorite things of all time. Does anyone have any idea what the story behind it is?

I’ve been saying “Fuck Jerry Reese” for over a year now, and I legitimately didn’t know he was Black until this very moment.

Having lived here for close to two years, I can safely say: because it’s Philly. Great town in a lot of ways, but the bureaucracy leaves a lot to be desired.

Wow, Yankee fans are sensitive.

How valuable they are? Why would anyone give a hammered shit about the valuation of a team? I don’t understand people like that at all. YEAH JERRAH’S SUPER-RICH BRO, BOYS ARE WORTH TWO BILLION, YEE HAW! Like... what do you get out of that?

I believe that about Palmeiro, too. No one’s that dumb.

Said the same great man: “I like the fucking strong home run”

You were born the day my grandparents’ house caught fire, which is coincidentally one of my earliest memories.

Your first memory is Sputnik? That’s supremely bad-ass.

I had no idea what the hell any of it meant, but I do clearly recall watching it on TV.

This is my thing, speaking as a non-NBA fan. Durant can do whatever he wants - it’s his life - but he was so close to knocking off the Golden boys with Westbrook, who’s a lunatic, and crazed Kiwi Steven Adams, and if they’d held that 3-1 lead they’d have been at least even money to beat the Cavs. Isn’t trying for that…

That hasn’t been the case in quite a while now.

Eh, my urge is still to say “Stick it to the Man.” Then again, I am assuredly not the Man right now, so... let’s say I wanted to become the Man, how would I go about doing that?

Jesus Christ, Affleck’s face. He looks like an animate wax dummy. And he’s clearly had a few, yeah?
