If it’s like every other similar place they license the name and the restaurant hands them a menu that can be banged out by replaceable line cooks

In retrospect not knowing what a superstar athlete thinks about anything was much better than being exposed to all their opinions constantly

lebron might go down as the least interesting public figure of our lives. i can't tell if he's intentionally uninteresting or if it just comes naturally, but man that guy is boring.

I need more people to understand that men can be bisexual because so many guys who are obviously hardcore BISEXUAL MENACES get labelled gay the moment they look at a guy after dating some women

A decently fun fact

From OptaSTATS: The Yankees are the first team in MLB postseason history to be down by 5+ runs and in danger of being swept and come back to win the game.

Teams had been 0-38 all-time when trailing by 5+ runs and trying to avoid a multi-game series sweep.

“That home run broke a decade of rotten luck.” They were in the World Series last year! Aaron Judge hit a big home run before…something else happened

It is weird that no one seems to be acknowledging that the Dodgers and the Yankees went to the World Series last year and are treating them like scrappy underdogs because they had to play in the wild card round

It amuses me to no end that many non-New Yorkers are unaware that obnoxious whistle sound is part of a local company’s ad jingle and believe it’s something the Yankees invented independently to annoyingly play after strikeouts

Yankees fans eyes rolling completely back and turning black, heads tilting backwards at an impossible angle, and their jaws opening and opening horribly like a shark's as they all emit the PC Richard Whistle Sound as one.

dawg at Comerica there is a big-ass hole where if a home run goes in the whole city gets little caesars and it has never happened but this guy wears a “dump 61 here” shirt and catches home run #61. if that isn’t proof that a man’s love is greater than capitalism idk what is.
