It’s such a classic 3 act tragedy: 1. Oh no, my favorite band went away too soon. Who will echo my teenage angst back to me now?? 2. Hooray, my favorite band returned. They’re not great, but I’ll give them a mulligan as they get back into the swing of things. 3. Hey Siri, how do I cut the brake lines on a touring bus?

If I had to describe the team in a single word, they are brittle.

I’ve never watched the cartoon, but I think I’d enjoy watching more of these live shoots of the voice actors screwing around. Give me Danny Pudi in the same room as David Tennant.

It’s appropriate the Packers suffered from the new Aaron Rogers Tackle Rule. Wonder if Cam Newton will ever see any benefit from it?

And to top it off, he gives it to the nearest kid. Real class act.

Right? TV is a different medium than a novel. If you love the book, go reread the book.

I’d guess not all announcers have the lung capacity to pull the long “gooooal” off.

I literally don’t understand what the motivation of some of these Republican Senators is. Collins, like McCain before her, seemed to feel increasingly out of place in the Republican party. Yet they stick it out, and vote the party line 80%+ of the time. When they do buck their parties, there’s not usually any rhyme or…

I like Norm McDonald, but if these are the highlights, I’m going to hard pass on this.

Is he the owners kid or something?

You seriously consulted with a fashion writer and came up with nice jeans, dark shirt and sneakers?

It’s very quaffable, and I can find it for as little as $14 a bottle. At that price, you hardly feel guilty for finishing the bottle in one sitting.

I just started teaching at a college south of the Mason-Dixon line for the first time. Female colleague told me she’s given up trying to get her COLLEGE students to consistently call her something professional like “Doctor” or “Professor”.

Surely a Fifth grader deserves a little more slack to adapt to a behavior that…

Harass black people.

Cool. To be clear, I know it’s a shirt/jersey for Vladimir Krutov, of CSKA Moscow. He also played for the Soviet national team. It’s the shirt itself I find interesting. It doesn’t look like any other I can find.

Anyone know a lot about Soviet hockey? Specifically Soviet hockey jerseys?

I was watching the game in a rust-belt, run down, death of the “working white class” neighborhood sports bar in southern Indiana (that fact alone was amazing to me), and the minute he appeared on the screen, the woman next to me at the bar said “I think I like soccer now.”

Ginger syrup on grilled fruit is AMAZING.

Of course it was the wife. You don’t think a man like this buys his own shirts, or is that invested in the collar style.

A lot of whiplash this season. I enjoy the fleshing out of Serena, but when she has to change on a dime so that June is antagonized at the right moment, it makes it harder for her to have a believable arc.
