The Pelicans redesign is awesome. Penguins is good. Most of the rest I’m indifferent about, although you’ve shattered the glass for me with cardinals red bills. Now I’m never going to be able to unsee the yellow and it is going to bug me forever.

In the men’s case, it’s because the Ninja Turtles are cool and fun.

Fuck Claudio for pitching it AT him then! That is a grave fucking error to make, and there is always this nonsense gray area of intent with HBPs. He deserves for Dietrich to bat flip and cartwheel all the way to first, and then pitch from the stretch and have Dietrich shout obscenities at him from first every time he…

Alright, I need some baseball “expert” to explain something to me here, probably so I can then yell at them for being stupid. What possible leg to pitchers have to stand on in this situation? Dietrich is standing in the batters box, he’s maybe a little closer to the plate than average? I watched and paused the clip of…

Let me see if I got this right. Because this is amazing. Canadian writes a wisecrack about US Soccer and fans; regrets it because he thinks it’s too mean, but due to how Kinja works, he has to edit it into something else rather than delete it; edits it into a wisecrack about general American attitude; and gets into a…

I mean...I lept in to make a joke at your joke. Target of opportunity. I dunno, maybe I wasn’t that funny? My bad. And now we’re on war and indirect references to 9/11 and the ensuing years of complicated slapdick War on Turrer HA HA we are slaying it here, my dude.

Jesus, buddy. I didn’t know you had this much built up resentment. I’m thinking the tip of this iceberg I’ve run into here is gonna mean way more to you than it is to me, but I suppose that’s another knock on general American cluelessness in the world.

Shot was gently fired, fire was gently returned. You can insist we’re being prickly, that’s fair. Hell, it’s not even necessarily wrong. I can insist you’re being smug. My joke lands too.

They didn’t act like assholes. I’m astounded at the offense everyone is taking to Rapinoe's goofy twirl-leg kick thing. It was fine. Every last one of their celebrations was pretty innocuous. I want to tell people to relax, but I'm genuinely not trying to infuriate anyone here and saying "relax" tends to do exactly…

Canadians getting high horse Morally Superior(tm)? WHY, I NEVER.

To be clear to the replies that asked: yes, I saw Rapinoe twirl around and then kick a leg in the air while lying on her side. Is THAT seriously why you guys are clutching pearls? Whoo boy, fellas.

To all the folks who are coming in hot with the “It’s not the score, it’s the celebrations!” remarks: look, if I tilt my head and squint, I can understand the argument you’re making. So I went and watched all the goals and all the celebrations - what the flying fuck is so offensive about what any of the players did?…

I’m not gonna lie, I buy everything about this article and Laura Wagner is a much smarter and sharper writer than I have a prayer of being. I still thought Dickerson's article was pretty damn good, and I generally like him. Go ahead and roast me, Internet Cool Kids, I know I deserve it anyway.

What the actual fuck?

No Doctors Doom, but there were a lot of Lokis that year, including an outstanding genderbent one. I got some pics with the Lokis.

I went to a nerd convention once in town here wearing a Captain America costume and there were other guys with similar costumes, and my friends all got a kick out of referring to us all as Captains America (there was even a group picture of a bunch of us). Fuck it, I’m keeping that phrase, hypercorrection be damned.

Those ARE fun facts. I would like us to do it similarly.

Thanks man.

Hey his wiki says he was born in California, but he represented Mexico in 2008 Olympic qualifiers. Is he a dual citizen or what?

Alright, alright, just take a deep breath there, Ace. I make $20.00 an hour and my health insurance sucks. Up until about a year and a half ago, I was working in a warehouse making $15.00 an hour. I’m not what you assume I am. I don’t have contempt for the working class or the public sector. I tend to think the…
