I'm all for the cubs getting called out over the russell stuff and their evil ownership, but what is this?

did this guy have a history before the Cubs employed him? If not, what is going on in this piece? and if they wanted to do this, why didnt they reference chapman?

 

I mean that's the new deadspin in a nutshell. They are trying to create controversy instead of reporting on it.

A coach in the cubs system did a murder suicide. In any other year this would have been a HUGE story. I'm not going to bother reading zombie deadspin's take on it, but I'm not going to pretend writing about it is "creating controversy".

of course it should be written about, i don't think anyone is questioning that. the cubs angle is just sloppily shoehorned in.

Damn I missed The Funbag

 

So let’s say Trump survives and has to quarantine with no staff and no help. Given a fully stocked kitchen, could Trump prepare himself a meal? Think he knows how to turn on a stove?

 

You saw the limo ride on Sunday. You saw the horror movie on the balcony last night too, right? That fat horsefeathers would never accept full isolation, and no one around him has the balls to force him to. The guy couldn’t even zip his fly without a Youtube tutorial. He’s just a hopeless, dying piece of horsefeathers. And, as you have already seen, he’s gonna drag as many people down to hell with him before he finally chokes to death on his own snot. He ain’t sequestering himself inside the White House. He’s gonna invite Carl Icahn and 26 hookers over for a game of nude Twister.

 

But this is a hypothetical you’ve proposed in which Trump is somehow NOT a supremely needy baby who couldn’t ever fathom the prospect of having to be alone and self-reliant. This would be an entirely different person, mind you, but still a clueless one. So, with that in mind, if you stick Trump alone in a kitchen and he has to get his own food to prevent starvation, he’s not cooking anything, because he thinks cooking is for women and for “the gays.” He’s cleaning that kitchen out of nonperishables, frozen food, and lunch meat FIRST: salami, bread, Ellio’s pizza, fruit punch, whole bags of raw flour, etc. Cans would be lowest on the priority list, because can openers are tricky for this man. He would try to open a can of beans and accidentally cut his thumb off. Then, he would fire the can. Then, he would microwave that can to get it to open. Then the can would explode and break the microwave. Then, defeated, Trump would turn on the stove and immediately light the entire building on fire. Then his hairspray would catch flames and burn his scalp clean off, leaving all the nerve endings on top of his head frayed and exposed. Then he would pour hot top ramen on top of the burns to soothe them, only to end up in unrelenting agony. Then the ash particles floating through the air would travel inside of his infected lungs, cutting off the oxygen supply to his brain and rendering him unconscious. Then his entire body would become spontaneously cremated thanks to his own idiocy.

 

And then he’d step on a rake. That’s what would happen.

Damn.

Holy horsefeathers.

Apparently he was the Notre Dame beat writer at the South Bend Tribune at some point 20 or so years ago (though I wasn't familiar with him), so there's a local connection for me.

 

Huge bummer. RIP.

I am unashamed of how much I enjoy Dan Le Batard's work. Seems to be a good person as well.

And now Le Batard is gone at the end of the year.

Damn man, ESPN is horsefeathering up. He'll do just fine on whatever other venue he cares to show up at.

I'm going to guess Peacock after the Rich Eisen show.

Post-ESPN LeBatard coming out hot

I'm surprised Julie Dicaro hasnt commented on this (unless I missed it). Shes been (rightfully) banging the drum for more female representation at the Score for years, particularly after her and Maggie Hendricks were let go

[jersey cubs fan]

So, um......, Pearl Jam
