So the Packers are your 5th best team in NFC while being the 1 seed in the conference with a blowout win over your number 1 team (who also have a blowout loss to the number 4 team)?

There's for sure at least 15-20% of Sliwa voters who hate Cuomo more than they fear Mamdani.

There has to be an upper limit on how profitable the NFL is right? No idea what that number is, but are we going to get to the point where QBs are getting 100 mill+/year? Is a nosebleed for week 3 jags-titans going to be 5k? Like there has to be a point where it becomes just too much money

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

It's been said elsewhere, but defending a Nazi before immediately moral grandstanding a black journalist for not denouncing Israel in strong/public enough terms is certainly a choice

Them seasonal passes are a good deal, you literally only have to go like 4 times and it's worth it

High school juniors weren't alive the last time the Yankees won the world series. Like I'm a packers guy, so I'm in the same boat there. You can't just yell "RINGZZZZ" every time your team eats shit

People being able to get sub 10 second laps on Mario kart doesn't impede my enjoyment of racing. Optimal teams at competitions have absolutely no bearing on how I play pokemon, like what's your fucking issue dude?

I'm confused as to what the complaint is here. The base games are still easily playable and beatable by kids. Kids mostly play against each other. And there's nothing stopping you from playing these games with just your favourites and still being able to beat them

It has some shades of Django Unchained in it in the sense that it's a "cool" movie that features black people doing "cool" stuff in it. But you really can't stop thinking about the weirdo white guy who's writing it

I did appreciate that the white men in the movie were mostly feckless and incompetent while the various people of colour were running around getting shit done. But that's pretty clearly a callback to blaxploitation along with how the black women were written which for sure missed the mark at times

Stat Padford ain't making the hall of fame. His gaudy counting stats will look less impressive over time and then we're looking at 2x pro bowler with a ring on a loaded roster that wasn't even in one of his pro bowl years

The mime talking is such a childish response to Ryan. He should've said "people outside the building don't know what goes on inside. I'm working to be the best player I can be and help this team win games." I think Rex Ryan sucks, but you're getting drawn into the circus and proving doubters right

I've always appreciated Marty's willingness to grapple with difficult subjects in his work even at risk of off-putting future audiences. That movie also has tweenage Jodie Foster playing a sex worker

Give Shadow Hearts:Covenant a go. First game feels really primitive, but Covenant refines mechanics and has such a delightfully weird eldritch world

Astrology is naturally suited to delusional people who are bad at relationships who think they're the best at relationships. This message was meant for somebody on their 4th new fling of the month who they've assigned as "the one"

*all 3 of my best players struggle with injuries all year, including my best player spraining her MCL in the playoffs the year after my team wins a title, but I lose two playoff games* "Jeez my coach sucks shit"
