The compounding irony of a show titled “In Depth” hosted by a nine year old boy interviewing someone who can only engage the world via comic book characters is overwhelming at times.

I had that experience earlier this year, when the local authorities sprayed for gypsy moths at 6am on a Saturday. Apparently I was the only one who hadn’t seen the warnings posted on the nearby interstate. Plane was so low I felt like Cary Grant in North by Northwest.

“Being a 12 was so twelve.”

Now I’m thinking about the horrors of “intergluteal theft”.

This is like the football version of Al Franken’s “draw the US” gimmick, in that I actually feel dumber after watching it.

The original Catch 22?  Another reason for no lefty catchers is no lefty catcher’s mitts.

Baseball owners have a lot more side action going on than owners in other sports. The BAMtech deal, for example, made each club a huge chunk of cash they didn’t have to share with players. Many clubs have their annual operations essentially paid for before they play a game.

Are you saying there’s been a governor of Alabama who didn’t wear blackface at some point (possibly during the campaign)?

Guys weren’t packing as much extra muscle as they do now.  That’s why you hardly see any thigh or hip pads any more.  Also, technology has made the padding much smaller.  Those huge pads were hot & tough to move in.

You know how every old-time wrestler or wrestling manager can do a great Dusty Rhodes impression? I get the feeling everyone at NFL Network can do a Mike Mayock impression. You wonder if he even knows that he’s an open joke.

Gordie Howe ain’t got nothing on that hat trick.

Yeah but I have a hard time believing anyone could be as obnoxious as Pats fans.

Remember when Jerrah had a major facelift, and everyone gave him shit for it?  Looks like he needs another tune up.

Yeah. That name caught me as well. Very useful player, but never more useful than this week.

These items all seem to have either inventory or prep time related reasons for their removal. Fewer varieties of taco shells to keep around, fewer items that take a long time and/or are complicated to make. They can’t just keep adding novelty items to the menu and expect the franchises to keep up with all of them.
