This may be a Southern thing, but I have always understood “uppity” to apply to someone who thought a black woman or man were out of their place. I don’t know that I’ve ever gone near that word. And lest conservatives think this is being hypersensitive, Clarence Thomas used it himself in his “high tech lynching”… Read more

Well so much for my favorite Hall and Oates song! Read more

I live probably 200 yards from my high school — the one I graduated from. Just wondering when this comes home to roost there, when the news vans show up, how I’ll answer when someone knocks on the door to ask what I heard or saw, as if it matters. It’s like a weather story now. Something for a lot of people to roll in… Read more

I’m ... sorry ... did that man say “sapient”? That’s almost better than the goal. Read more

The answer is always: “This doesn’t help us sell soap, so we’re not answering.” Read more

I’m amazed at how they are able to get the neck and the skull exactly the same width. How, in the acquisition of such mass, does none of it go to the face. Then as they beef up and shit, how do they keep the neck from going over the width of the face. Read more

“Someone mentioned my name?”

I think you mean Paul Fackin’ Ryan. Let’s stay on point here ... Read more

I think the Dodgers sanctioning him — repeatedly — is at least circumstantial evidence that he’s an asshole. None of this invalidates his performances or his right to employment. Have at it and hit away. There are any number of assholes, dickfaces and fuckwads in every league. What I’m railing against is this idea… Read more

Let’s cut the crap and apply Occam’s Razor for once. He’s probably an asshole. I also love it that so many want to hallucinate the “he fucked someone’s girl so lol” excuse. That’s really carrying water for a person you’ve never met. Read more

It’s not out of the realm of possibility that he’s an asshole to the people who employ and work with him but a real sweetheart to a public that is gonna go home that evening and never see him again. Any number of movie stars can pull that off.

Just gonna go out on a limb here, and I know Yasiel Puig’s precious outbursts are God’s gift to sports and all that, but when agents — who by definition are amoral toads who will eat shit to keep a star in their office and the moolah flow going — fire a client and say, no thanks, we don’t want your business, maybe,… Read more

Nope. Not at all. I don’t think he even played a down there. He’s all Wisconsin baby. Aaaaaaallll Wisconsin. Read more

Wisconsin’s finest. One of the all-time great Badger quarterbacks. The pride of Madison. Read more

I am so happy to see Pirmin Zurbriggen, whose last name means “First to the bridge” on this list. It was so poetic, the combination of that name and his event.

The Philly Special is actually the hoagie you forgot you bought at 1 a.m. and put in the fridge and then when you wake up at 1 p.m and try to get your shit online and put together a plan of attack for nourishment you see that sub in your fridge and praise the foresight of your past self. That is the Philly Special. Read more
