    fowler guyintherainthatmojoalwaysposts.gif Bish, that gif is HACK as horsefeathers. I'm insulted. PS: Derwood is Derwooding HARD in this thread.

    Well, I guess Cutler can throw one thing well: https://www.instagram.com/p/BO8Bd6ygEd0/

    He is indeed a Major Leaguer I'd like to horsefeathers.

    It's almost like signing Rondo was a terrible idea that everyone but the Bulls FO realized.

    Huh. With Soler gone, Almora might now be emerging as a dark horse in terms of Most Handsome Cub. He looks pretty goofy in a baseball uniform, but damn, he cleans up good. Harper...WTF is going on there.

    Ross wasn't so much signed for chemistry as he was a personal muse to Lester. That and everyone needs a backup catcher, few of which are going to be able to hit their way out of a wet paper bag. Kawasaki's a mascot and to grant the media their 'look, the Chinaman (yes, I know) thinks he's people' interviews. Okay ... I haven't checked this thread out in awhile ... but explain that last part to me? Kawasaki was signed to be a mascot and to grant the media their ... "Chinaman" (I mean, in this day and age, most baseball media would be more surprised with a Chinese baseball player, there's Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean, but off the top, no "Chinaman", but that's almost a political issue, so forget it) fetish (fetish isn't even the right word, but I'm not sure what to make of "look, the Chinaman thinks he's people" considering that Asian Americans have been in baseball for long enough now?) Perhaps I'm missing some sort of joke in there that I'm not aware of, as I've never really followed individual poster's and their habits, but I'd argue that Kawasaki has a career because he's a capable defensive sub, and that the Cubs could use someone like that to call up in a pinch. Forget it, man...it's Little Slide Rooter-town.

    And yet people still say the cupboard was bare when Theo took over.

    Did you only watch season 2 of FNL and think that was the entire series?
  10. Sammy Sofa
    It had everything!
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, but MASH was at least great at some point, so you can justify having watched it. I'll say Carnivale qualifies; loved the look and the setting of the show, and Clancy Brown being terrifying, but man, that show was bad. OH. Boardwalk Empire! Same type of situation; mostly good to great cast, awesome setting, some real standout creepy characters, but man, talk about a show not living up to expectations at all. I love Steve Buscemi, but he was all wrong for that role, and it was otherwise all downhill from there in terms of it being a genuinely good show. Super entertaining (when not bogged down with Nucky's forever interminable drama at home) pulpy trash anchored by a snazzy setting, nice production values (well, minus the boardwalk itself turning basically all CGI by the end) and some great supporting actors. But, yeah, not a good show, and I watched every damn second.

    Yeah, I still love The Office, but I still haven't seen anything after season 6. I usually have no problem bailing on a show once it nosedives off of a cliff. Dexter and Six Feet Under I both dropped after their third seasons and never looked back. six feet under nosedived? I do not recall this happening. Looking at the episode listings, I actually watched into the 4th season and dropped it after the monumentally stupid "David gets kidnapped" episode, which made me retroactively realize how much pretty much all of season 3 stunk. I like to think of it now as this amazing 2 season series that was unjustly cancelled and left us all hanging on Nate's surgery, because everything after...WOOF. I finally watched the finale after people went nuts for it, and it was garbage. A cloying, Hallmark Channel movie that people lost their minds over because we find out out how everyone dies, which is really, really important and not cheaply manipulative and lazy at all.

    I agree, although I'd say the office earned my loyalty while MRA Ted never did, I just gave it away like a whore. I hate that I watched most of that show, but I don't regret watching the office.

    HIMYM definitely gets a lifetime acheivement award next to the Office of good show turned bad that I finished to the end. As far as longevity, they take the cake. The good ran out of HIMYM much earlier than it did for the office, and it never came close to the high levels. It was never good. Two of the leads are bland as horsefeathers and look like siblings, I'm pretty positive the actress from Buffy and American Pie is genuinely mentally challenged, NPH was just playing the standard cliche horndog, but because he's actually gay it was inexplicably hilarious because of...reasons? All it had going for it was a clearly slumming and disengaged Jason Segel, and he was cancelled out by the laugh track and the sub-Friends-late 90's-knoockoff-level of settings and plots. The baffling love this show got and still has must be some kind of MK-ULTRA-like mass hypnosis experiment or something.

    Every single Law & Order spinoff.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    The New Girl Superstore Modern Family (I figure I have seen most of this show thanks to my parents) Big Bang Theory (it feels like 18 different channels play hours and hours of BBT reruns, so I don't know if it counts that I'm too lazy to change the channel when I'm in my office, but I swear I've seen/heard a billion episodes of this horrendous turd) Sherlock (make no mistake; it IS horsefeathering terrible, and manages to survive based only on the strength of the two main actors)

    I will always think it's Theriot.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Vitters is nothing. Theriot is funnier.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Theriot rocks that mullet so naturally.

    I loved it when he agreed to let Tommy Callahan make those brake pads.

    I stand by my "that's your grandpa" comment. He's also rocking Eli's dad-bod: http://cbssports4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2015/05/20/b53fbcdf-1b5b-429d-94ee-b6008974a79a/resize/600x465/elimanning.jpg?hash=704233503243f94a3c4cfc9d7ee81c7a

    It's like being worried that someone with a big "MOM" tattoo is some kind of street ruffian.

    Bad ordering of my words there. I mean I don't know a ton about McCarron, so want to learn more before offering a full opinion. But character/leadership is big for QBs and having a big dumb chest tattoo could speak to the kind of guy he is. I slipped that line in there at the end as sort of a joke though, and it really doesn't play huge into my evaluation. But I typed a lot of stuff there. Was there anything else that jumped out? ridiculous Mainly because a big dumb chest tattoo is positively quaint these days. That's like something someone's old timey, WW2-era grandpa would have.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Holy horsefeathers; I had no idea that his Votto vendetta was an ongoing thing and not just something recent. That's like the stupidity of Rozner's anti-Aramis crusade times a trillion.

    I'm convinced that Marty Brennanman simply flat out hates baseball.
