  1. Damn, that's a cool ass hire.
  2. Twice ESPN has completely forgotten about the White Sox winning the World Series. CBS Sports overlooked it one time, too. Pretty funny! Based on the ratings from that WS, I'm not 100% sure it actually even happened.
  3. This seems unexpected.
  4. I take issue with this headline: https://www.sbnation.com/2017/10/26/16551210/2017-world-series-dodgers-astros-game-2 I mean, unless "recent memory" means "the last 2 WS games."
  5. horsefeathers, if that's the criteria, then it's the Dodgers all the way for Puig alone.
  6. Yeah, in terms of being Cubs nemesis, the Dodgers only feel like they're about a 3. Meh.
  7. I don't have a very exciting life, no need to be a dick about it. It was directed at Fontenot.
  8. Ah, that wasn't as much fun as I thought. Yeah, Chappelle said it clicked for him when he realized too many people were laughing AT him or what he was saying instead of WITH him and it bothered him. With SP I was thinking more specifically of how a character like Cartman ostensively exists to make fun of characters as awful as he is, but the show long, long, long ago seemingly lost track of that (if it was ever really doing it in the first place) by reveling in how he was such a fan favorite; like, the "joke" is nothing more than "Cartman is racist/anti-Semitic, etc.," and nothing else, yet he's at the same time this beloved character. Chappelle at least was usually at least flat out saying what his sketches were about in the host segments, to the point that people basically needed to ignore those or skip them to then also willfully miss the point (and even then you still had REALLY obvious buttons like, "oh, this racism is KILLING me inside!").
  9. Chappelle’s Show please explain You beat me to almost posting the exact damn thing by about 10 seconds. This is gonna be good.
  10. It's a discussion about sports media figures in the sports media thread; it's a really, really low bar to hurdle.
  11. Because he was always so absurd. There's this weird misconception that Colbert was baffling massive amounts of conservatives into thinking he was one of them, like he somehow tricked his way into something like hosting the Correspondents Dinner, and that simply wasn't the case. When you're peppering every episode with things like your obsessive hatred of bears, you're making it pretty damn obvious that the whole thing is a bit.
  12. I'm not really pulling for either team, but will enjoy watching the series and hope it'll at least be entertaining.
  13. AKA The South Park Conundrum
  14. Yeah..."awesome"...
  15. I would love a super boring Cubs WS season and postseason.
  16. yep, but because I don't think he has the pitch recognition skills, I don't mind it from him. Yeah, if he can make it work, great. It just cracks me up how it seems like most of the time when he actually takes a pitch it seems like he made the decision to do so, like, 10 minutes before he even stepped to the plate.
  17. Baez is the guess-iest guess-hitter who ever guessed.
  18. This thread could use some attention. Happy posting!
  19. I keep coming back here to help try and pass a dreary workday, but the most active threads mostly tend to be Bears or Bulls-related. Please fix. Thanks.
  20. It would be so ESPN to try and scramble to fix this by doing something amazingly stupid like hiring Clay Travis.
  21. Nobody at ESPN has any horsefeathering clue what they're doing as they die the slowest of deaths.
  22. Having a business plan centered around accumulating newspaper writers seems about as sound as some dude in the 70's thinking his sweet collection of Pet Rocks is only going to appreciate in value.
  23. John Fox is pretty crafty pulling out the ol' Tebow-era Broncos win today.
  24. He looks even creepier without it.
