"No," Claudia said, offering a Gummi to Dawn, who shook her head. “I saw a thing for the Super Bowl on TV. And then I started thinking why are they called bowls? They’re playing on a flat field. If it were a bowl, the ball would just roll to the middle and stay there, right?"
The room went silent.

Before I ever even heard of Jeffrey Epstein or these files I thought it was
common knowledge Russia was selling girls and women all over and had been for years.

Blecccchhhh. I remembered who’s playing in the Super Bowl. Not because I dislike either team but because I was hoping not to!

I don’t want to disagree or start a ruckus because I thought the Super Bowl was last week.

Just one man’s opinion here, but it seems like the Super Bowl might be today. That’s just my take on the situation, I could be wrong but will not debate it here!

There’s no one, no matter their allegiance or affiliation, no “criminal” or “terrorist” that DHS or ICE claim they’re trying to deport who could possibly be worse or viler than the white parents I saw at that little league game last summer!

My dad was a championship Little League coach (area, they didn’t do regional or national stuff) and even then you had MLB pitcher Robin Roberts advocating you NOT let your kids join organized leagues. I got a taste of today’s official league kid sports last summer and holy shit… ABOLISH IT.

If your kid asks to play organized sports the answer is “Fuck no.” Like I don’t want to discourage you from playing sports and that’s just what they’ll do to you, it won’t be fun at all, and it’ll subject you to ridiculous levels of performance pressure while surrounded by batshit insane idiots.

You couldn’t have THE BAD NEWS BEARS today, and not because they curse and use offensive language. Because they’d be subjected to biometrics and paid consultants tutoring their parents on how to best position them for Division I-A recruiters! They’d have agents at 14.

My grand-nephew mentioned he’d like to try golf and my brother’s like enroll him in a golf clinic, it’s expensive but it’s an investment in his future and I’m like what the fuck? He’s 10 years old, for Christ’s sake! We were knocking balls through windows with sand wedges at that age! Who cares?

oh sure, you're happy pay to traumatize young athletes, but when the drama department needs a new absinthe-soaked instructor, it's always "cuts cuts cuts"

When I played baseball it was no parents and only drunken teenagers in charge of kids who were always fighting! I punched the other team’s first baseman in the mouth because he talked shit to me on an 0-fer day. And that’s how youth league sports are MEANT TO BE!

I do think youth sports would benefit more from coaches who are alcoholic bums and hate kids than from all these clinics and instructors and parents who plan for scholarships before their children are even 10 years old. Bring back boozy misanthropes who have rocky romantic histories with the moms!

how does the justice system even work anymore? Can I still get sentenced to coach an upstart team of underdog peewee hockey players if I get a DUI?

It’s just weird we live in a country where our own government announces it’s sending troops to attack the Super Bowl because the halftime show offends the president.

I haven’t watched the new THE MUPPET SHOW but yes, I can see this format, this particular show, lasting for infinity. The Muppets are hilariously absurd and there’s always a new human to host. Remember the Weezer video that took place as if it’s THE MUPPET SHOW? And it was just THE MUPPET SHOW.

New Muppet Show yet again confirms the unassailability of the “puppets scrambling to put on a little show” format

You just ache for Dem leadership to seize the moment!
If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby
