This would not be any more absurd than the canonical version of currency in Star Trek, in which characters constantly insist that there is no money in the future and everyone on Earth is just in it for the sake of exploration and good vibes, but are also constantly shown buying stuff from aliens.
Everyone is giving Team USA crap for this, but I think it’s cool that a bunch of players from a notoriously homophobic sport invited a guy into their clubhouse who, as he spoke, was likely contemplating which of them he could overpower and make into his concubines.
It’s called progress, people.
As someone of non-Japanese heritage, I don’t think I can wear this. But it’s an extremely cool hat.
UNLESS…if I visited Tokyo Disneyland when I was a kid, would that count?
No? Okay. Still a cool hat.
To be fair, she immediately apologized when she was called on it. No way of knowing how much research she did, but I can see how this is something that would have flown under the radar.
Janes might be the only Post Sports refugee who actually benefited from Will Lewis’s idiocy. Pontificating on TV seems way more fun than writing columns!
If someone offered the Lerners $3B for the Nats today, they’d immediately accept and throw a huge party where a drunk Mark would lean in conspiratorially and tell someone “If I’m being honest, I fucking hate baseball.”
But once the Padres sell for $3B, they’ll bump the price to $3.5B and not budge.
It’s certainly possible Rizzo pleaded with the Lerners to pay for tools like Trajekt and they refused. Then rolled over for Toboni.
But every passive-aggressive quote from a player I see on this topic makes it seem as if Rizzo was like, “Nah. Fuck those nerd toys.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/711...
It’s one thing to date an actress and know what you’re signing up for. But imagine your non-actress girlfriend out of the blue says, “I’m going to be on Baywatch! Hey, are you okay with me making out with other dudes?”
Anyway, Paul Skenes has a pretty great life. He can handle this tiny speed bump.
I was intrigued in a “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should,”-type of way. But the Reese’s flavor so completely overwhelms the Oreo flavor that the whole thing was a wash.
But hey, good effort. I like where our heads are at.
Telling card collectors that they should ignore what their eyes, ears and basic common sense are telling them, and that “the hobby is moving on” to digital collectibles, is some A+ grifting.
Ask the people who spent thousands on NBA Top Shot cards they suddenly couldn’t sell, how they’re doing.
I feel like there’s a lesson in hubris to be learned in regard to FS1 seizing the Italy/Mexico game from Tubi and then having it be a total snoozefest, meanwhile the Venezuela/D.R. game that Tubi was “stuck with” is great.
I have no idea what that lesson could be. I just point things out.
It’s bad enough that Booker fumbled away America’s shot at having First Lady Rosario Dawson. But I can’t support a presidential candidate who writes reign instead of rein.
(Statistically speaking, some of you reading this routinely write “free reign” instead of “free rein.” Please stop!)
If you’re not familiar, it’s an amazing story. www.vulture.com/2018/05/fanc...
Every Blerdcon, I think about the Universal FanCon fiasco (coming up on ten years!) and how easily it could have been avoided if the organizers had simply started small and booked a Hyatt ballroom the first year instead of the goddamn Baltimore Convention Center. washingtonian.com/2026/03/11/l...
What would you call one Montreal Expo being removed from the Nats Park Ring of Honor?
A good start.
Remember when Latrell Sprewell choked PJ Carlesimo? It was a big deal at the time, but the lack of social media stopped it from being the earth-shattering deal it would be if it happened now.
If Spoelstra had taken Adebayo out to protect Kobe’s record, Adebayo would have been right to choke him.
😬
So, uh…do the Giants still want CJ Abrams?
Normally, this is some sort of player/character mashup. Like the Zim Captain America bobblehead from several years ago. Or the Trea Turner-as-The Flash bobblehead that we never got because of Covid.
But this is just a straight-up Sam Wilson bobblehead? Lame. James Wood could be Captain America.
I love both winter and snow, and even I think this is fucked up.
I found it! The one timeline that’s worse than this one!
I get why Wizards fans are annoyed that the team has been etched in history as a punchline to an NBA record that may never be broken.
But on Reddit, someone called last night’s game “Kobe fans’ 9/11.” So if your team can make Lakers fans this sad, it seems like that’s something worth celebrating.
I’ve now seen a second Dhar Mann film in which a white jewelry store manager accuses a black woman of being a thief, but it turns out she’s actually an executive at the company, who fires the manager and promotes a kind employee to replace her.
Is it plagiarism if Dhar Mann rips off Dhar Mann?
I think one of the reasons Paradise works is that it doesn’t fall into the trope of post-apocalyptic survivors all being psychopaths.
The episode of The Walking Dead where the group of men almost rape Carl is when I realized the show didn’t aspire to be anything more than misery porn and bailed.
Garcia and Young for Bryce Harper: who says no?
Actually, Bryce might enjoy D.C. now. He could hang out with RFK Jr. and talk raw milk. And let’s face it, this team has always attracted, uh…certain types of players he might be simpatico with. I’ve noticed Harry Ford signs autographs “Jesus ❤️ U.”
We blame post-Covid isolation and online porn for why Zoomers don’t date, but it could also be takes like this.
In this context, pineapple is basically a vegetable. But then people also get mad when you put *that* on a pizza.
Idea: a dating app just for people who like sausage/pineapple pizza.
“What if I told you your electric bill is going to triple over the next few years?”
“Oh God! That sounds horrible!”
“Aha! But what if I told you that in exchange, people will have the ability to generate a video where a cheeseburger is made by a construction crew?”
“Oh. I guess it’s okay, then.”
Given that they’re a division rival, I have an odd affection for the Marlins. Maybe it’s because I went to the ballpark before Jeter vandalized it and loved it.
But all the empty rich people seats at the WBC is pretty jarring. I get spring logistics, but might need it to move it to LA next time.
I’m not saying it was an effective strategy, as evidenced by the zero Super Bowl wins during the Dan Snyder era. But there was something fun about the way the Redskins would simply grab the top players on the first day of free agency each year.
We were like the Dodgers. Just without the winning.
The Big Easy joins the list of '80s thrillers like No Way Out and Suspect that I somehow built up in my head as being culturally significant films, but then when I watch them, turn out to be pretty bad.
Also, I don’t get why Remy immediately goes nuts for Anne when McCabe was right there all along.
Definitely not: Idle, Palin
Definitely not, but for…other reasons: Franco, C.K.
Already in, though he shouldn’t be: Simon
Probably won’t ever host again: Kutcher, Lohan, Diaz, Barkley
Probably will host again, but who knows when: Carvey, Keaton, Driver, Gosling
Four left. The answer is…Hamm.
