It's hard to believe that only a month ago there was a real conversation about how Max Brosmer "couldn't be worse" then McCarthy

The overall broadcast is...whatever but I prefer the Netflix scorebug

Wait, Ben Affleck is in yet another Netflix movie where he has a beard and wears a kevlar vest? And now Matt Damon is there? But it has nothing to do with the other movie where Affleck had a beard, kevlar vest and automatic weapon?

I was today years old when I learned that NIGHTS Into Dreams had a "3D controller" for the Saturn that looks kind of weird. Truly had no clue this ever existed.

I was running through my brain all his stops and I can remember him in Tampa but for the life of me could not remember when that was.

Sometimes I see people seemingly experiencing some kind of manic state and posting through it and I'm here to say I see you and you should continue doing it because I enjoy

Truer never spoken
you know, these days, many people time of year. but this season, try when to everything a special time — it just might become which with you

So basically Netflix blew their entire nut on last year's broadcasts and this year it is just Emmitt Smith in a snuggie and Clinton Portis hawking his restaurant in an uncompetitive game that doesn't really matter.

Deebo cannot beat the lasagna allegations. Even the commentators are talking about his weight.

(For the record, I think he is fine)

Grandpa joe is trash. Imagine making your single daughter and 13 year old grandson work to the point where a single loaf of bread is like the greatest treat ever and just dancing around.

It's super funny when the only pro bowler on a bad team is the punter

Sometimes I read wrestling articles and it legit bothers me that they are sort of milquetoast versions of something I wrote years ago but I did not get nearly the platform of the specific website I see it on. Then I say, nah it's cool. Godspeed.

I promise you this is the longest set up you will ever see for a F list joke.
People struggle to understand this but billionaires have nothing that excites them or that they even can look forward to. They've done everything that any human could ever do, likely multiple times. They also spend most of their day having people reinforce how smart they are for being rich.

I hope Mark Cuban finds the love he clearly has not received in his life this holiday season and stops posting through it
No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with

CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

merry christmas and a happy new year cunts

Ryan Kelly's 3rd diagnosed concussion of this season and 6th diagnosis of his career really drives home to me that there has to be a point when the league or teams or NFLPA steps in and forces a player to retire. It's terrible but the reality of 3 within a few months is horrible.

a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

The idea that she "doesn't know how insulting she comes across" really misunderstands everything that is happening in this world.
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

I just saw someone's grandma get run over by a reindeer and it was horrible. The kind of thing that will haunt me for years to come. Pieces everywhere.

Go into the 2025 assuming it couldn't be worse than 2024. I was wrong.
I don’t give a shit about your accomplishments this year. What’s the dumbest shit you did the past 12 months? The truly stupidest decision you made in 2025?
