It says something pretty significant about the American psyche that

1. most sports present the owner with the winning trophy, not the players that just won it.

2. a big chunk of people think that makes perfect sense, cos he's the rich guy that bankrolled it.

I see we're doing it all over again today.

Weird to come out of a playoff game feeling really bad for both winner and loser.

I've had this thing on the bracelet, but it's definitely cooler with the black strap

Been thinking about this for a little while.

Even with all the current context, I'm still genuinely shocked how many people are trying to argue a different truth than what we can all see from very clear video of the incident.

It's genuinely Orwellian. Straight out of 1984.

Anyone watching Pluribus? I like like the premise, only a couple of eps in so far and it seems solid

Fake Andy Reid looks more like Andy Reid than real Andy Reid these days.

Find a more miserable existence than this.

Aside from anything else, I'm not at all convinced that this lifelong dedication to health and eternal life is doing anything.

He's 48 years old, and he looks EXACTLY like a 48-year old man trying to claim that his biological age is actually 24.

The great Mina Kimes (@minakimes.bsky.social) came on the show to help make sense of the confusing teams this season.

Also talked Darnold, and some cool Xs and Os trends.

Didn't expect to, but I'm enjoying the new Robin Hood series

I love that something like Grantland was attempted, and hate that it failed.

It's such a shame how hard it is for something like that in a world of Stephen A. Smithification of the current media landscape.

The way some people drive, they really deserve to have accidents.

29 degrees out, snow on the ground, and your dumbass monster truck is 10 feet from someone's bumper doing 80mph.

There is no sum of money you can pay Disney to lose ads from ESPN.

The absolute fucking worst.

Every corporation is, at all times, trying to squeeze every last dollar from you they can.

Just apply the damn credit automatically to everybody that's affected, don't bet on a bunch of them not going through the instructions to do so.
