To understand what is the bleakest thing, one must first understand what is best in life:

I had no idea that Samwell Tarly moonlighted as a professional boxer.

Whoa. Are you a 120-year-old, born-and-bred denizen of Addison and Clark? Because those are the only people who have the moral authority to complain about how awful it is to live near Wrigley Field.

+1. What makes this even better is that Draper didn't get it. Bravo.

Yes, this is starting to get overblown, particulary with regard to the racial-epithet aspect. I get that. But, the question that I have is: would Harrison’s comments be any less/more acceptable is he instead had said, “Man, fuck dude.” For me, it’s not so much the epithet that gets me; just the general display of open…

Whoa. I knew Cowboys fans were slow on the uptake. But this is ridiculous.

Deep cut, that.

Best. Tournament. Ever.

I'm so confused. What if a TRUTHER actually speaks THE TRUTH? My entire universe has been turned inside-out.

As a soccer/football/whatever fan who idolizes the USMNT and wishes nothing more to see a World Cup Championshp in my lifetime, I am ALL for this. THIS is the hill upon which every fan, team, and country —- worldwide —- should choose to make their last stands.

My local haunt absolutely erupted. I can't even imagine what it must have been like to be there in person.
