Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
We can agree to disagree, but i’m right.
I can’t take this shit today. I just can’t.
I’m only here for the duck photos.
This blog is Obama’s Katrina.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Usually wrong but never in doubt
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?
Fuck these fucking interesting times.
And we’re all out of bubblegum.
Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.
Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.
This blog will pay for itself.
Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…
The math demands it!
Peak wingnut was a lie.
Verified, but limited!
We have all the best words.
My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Trump is going to draw a dick on that dog with a sharpie, isn’t he?
Naturally gregarious and alpha
Hot air and ill-informed banter

Go sports ball teams!

The age old dilemma. What do you do when you hate both teams (Caps and Pens), and it’s no longer socially acceptable (for some reason) to root for injuries?
LAO
@dedc79: lol. A pox on both their houses!
p.a.
@dedc79: wish ill on the owners!

I hate the Caps more than the Pens, so I guess Go Pens? Celz/Hocks game should be wickad good, as long as Bahstahn plays smaht.
Good nite for sports. Also, fuck the NFL and their CTE-in-10-years recruitment…
ETA: Hawks favored in this game? WTF?

@p.a.: @LAO: Good suggestions. I think I’m going to root against the Caps, since I live in DC and have to deal with way more insufferable Caps fans than I do Pens fans.

Can someone explain the NBA to me? I used to love it. Absolute favorite sport. And now I can’t stand to watch it. It’s weird, like I want to watch it, but when I do, I’m immediately repelled by the style of play and the officiating.
That said, go Celts! Who are terrible to watch or even listen to on the radio.

Excuse me–as a DC area resident, the CAPS are our only winning team. And worse our new baseball team in nicknamed the Nats, rhyming with gnats. So you can understand why we needs the CAPS to win.
LAO
@dedc79: I’ll join you in rooting against the caps. But really don’t care.

It’s professional basketball. Like Red Auerbach said, “put the ball in the hole.” You try to do that more times than your opponent does.

I hope there’s someone decent left by the time the Bears pick.

Let’s go Caps!

It’s Grateful Dead night at Fenway. Happily, patchouli doesn’t come through the TV.
Punchy
@redshirt: The game is way faster and much less physical than it was 10-20 yrs ago. Every little contact is called. Game seems boring compared to what I remember from the 90s.
YMMV

Apropos of nothing, I realize now that I used to get a lot more historical research done before wi-fi existed. Damn it.
redshirt
@Punchy: I’ve seen some Golden State games this year and they were enjoyable. Everything else is like random fouls.
I think the isolation play really hurt the sport.
redshirt
@Mnemosyne: I’m a big believer in turning off the internet if you don’t need it to work. It’s all too tempting.

One of the legal secretaries in my firm is a Celtics cheerleader. It’s always fun to watch the male of the species in my office run to opine and exclaim to her their fealty to the Celtics the morning after, no matter what happens. I wonder why? hahahaha no, I don’t. Tomorrow morning will be another data point.

@Mike J:
He had the entire city of Boston ready to testify as character witnesses against Rambis. We hate the Lakers as much as the Yankees.
Mike J
@the Conster, la Citoyenne: I was at a Lakers/Celtics NBA Final game in, uhm, ’85? Nosebleed seats behind a column at one end of the Garden, but I was there.

@redshirt: The cybercave™ has lighting, heating and security that is computer(including cell phones) controlled. These things can also be controlled and monitored remotely, so the internet is required to be Always ON.
redshirt
@the Conster, la Citoyenne: Used to, to both. The Lakers rivalry is greatly muted if not gone, and even the Yankees don’t generate much juice these days. The most hated object in Boston sports these days is Roger Goodell.

June ’86 I think – after the Pats lost the SB to the Bears and before the Red Sox lost to the Mets in the WS. Thank god for Larry Bird.

@David ?Canadian Anchor Baby? Koch:
I lived in Coventry, next to Storrs from ’89 to ’97 raising two young girls. Those UConn girls were such huge heroes.. Rebecca Lobo, Kara Wolters, Sue Bird, Nykesha Sales, Jen Rizzotti, then Diana Taurasi who may have been the best of all, were rock stars. Everyone knew the names of all of the men and women players.
LAO
That was a thing (goal) of beauty.

NFL Draft, I love the Bucs taking Vernon Hargreaves III at the Cornerback spot.

Fuck the NFL draft.
Fuck the NFL.

@David ?Canadian Anchor Baby? Koch:
Amazing!!! I could watch Diana Taurasi make her shots all day long. It was effortless for her. What a star! Thanks!

@the Conster, la Citoyenne:
One of the things I loved about watching her was that on top of the excellence, she always looked like she was just having a great time playing the game.

Caps win on Oshie’s hat trick in overtime! Heck yeah! Just got home from the game and altho I’m a red wings lifer I love these caps!!
