Archer remains one of the most under-appreciated shows, especially in terms of writing. My God, the stuff FX was able to push out in that peak comedy era was so good.

Archer, Wilfred, Baskets, Man Seeking Woman, etc

So, as I mentioned, while dog sitting for a friend I’ve been binge re-watching “Archer”. I just finished the third season last night before bed and I’ve been laughing hard enough to take my mind off of all… *waves hands around *.

IIRC, I think I’ve got at least two solid seasons left before…

Hello, rampant gambler here and also probably the only defender of sports betting in your replies.

The first sport I ever seriously bet was the W. Built out models, predicted every game, etc...

Whoever is doing this is a mf loser. This is maybe the silliest betting angle I've ever seen discussed.

BREAKING - we have midweek football starting tonight, which means we'll be putting out our Midweek Bulletin every week from here on out.

Because these games happen before we put out our games of the week, we highlight them by giving you a forecast.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…
