Grew up in WI in the 80s, it was definitely a thing. A very, very annoying thing.

I’ve been boycotting the league for three years for a myriad of reasons, this was just another one to add to the pile. I don’t miss it one bit.

I will always star a Harlan Ellison reference.

I already put a full payment down towards this at my local gamestop (on another item, they are just gonna switch the preorder for me). I just really hope they are one of the stores to do this. Otherwise, looks like I am waiting outside somewhere at 4am.

Yup, I live in Wisconsin so literally everything is pretty much deserted (except for bars) when the Packers are playing.

Ok that’s it, i’m buying this this weekend. I have read so much and don’t do much pc gaming, but some things I just have to support.

This is number 4,000 on the list of why I am glad I quit as a manager for this company three years ago.

Fuck yes. I rarely watch sports anymore. My life feels so much better just checking the yahoo sports app every half hour to see how the Cubs are doing. Especially after last season, after 38 years of watching waaay too many fucking Cubs games, this season I am giving myself a break.

Join us!!! It’s amazing.

The only thing keeping me watching college is hat I have a family member who plays D1 so I have to watch that (and get to go to plenty of games for free). I’m a Michigan fan too so I catch maybe half of their games.

Don’t have one. I dropped the Bears 3 years ago and thought another team might come to me as a new favorite. None did. Now I watch maybe five NFL games a year and have Sundays free to do as I please.

There is literally no better feeling in the world than when I dropped the Bears as my favorite team. Not my divorce from a soul sucking marriage. Not when I left the worst job ever to teach kids with disabilities and found my true calling. Not the birth of my niece or my nephew. Not the fucking Cubs World Series.…

I am just entering my last semester of my special education masters program and this is something that has been hammered into us by my teachers (as well as boys, specifically minority boys, being overrepresented with emotional behavior disorder). Don’t know whether information like this is representative of all or…

Never have. The worst I have ever dealt with, surprisingly, was in Tampa. I have been to a ton of stadiums as an opposing fan (Cubs fan here). In 2008 (first year Rays were ever good and the Cubs were also in first), a Rays fan called my mom a cunt for cheering the Cubs. I asked the usher to have him removed and the…

Ahhhh, I was at this game! Why couldn’t I have been in the “give Chris Christie shit” section versus the “asshole cubs fan who gets into it with an usher for doing his job” section?

I have to say Charles that every time I see a piece by you, I jump at the chance to read it. They are all brilliantly written, insightful, smart, and funny. I haven’t followed boxing in a decade, but when I read your pieces I instantly want to get back into to. Another commenter recommended “The Bittersweet Science,”…

I am lucky enough that I am close with the guys at my local gamestop and I live in a town small enough that demand isn’t going to be crazy. My plan as of now is to show up outside the store at 5am and wait. GS hasn’t started preordering it yet and I doubt they will bit in case they do, I did a pay in full on another…

Trust me, living somewhere with easily accessible, cheap, fast internet then moving somewhere where it literally isn’t available sucks. I moved here to help my mom take care of my father who has cancer and go to grad school. I have literally begged charter to come to our area to no avail. It just isn’t “financially…

Hahaha that’s awesome!

This makes me think of when I was 22 and had shoulder surgery. As they were wheeling me to recovery and I was all drugged up I saw my mom in the waiting room and loudly proclaimed, “mom, i’m not sure what happened in there but my shoulder still hurts and I have a vagina now.” Apparently my mom and the nurses were…
