I kept refreshing twitter every 5 minutes to see a new rage tweet Twitter's just about the worst possible format for me to try and make any kind of coherent statement, since I tend to be long-winded. I handle that not by being more succinct and concise, but by sending out multitudes of sequential Tweets like a crazy person. I'm bad at Twitter.

I actually prefer your method wayyyyyyyy more than jamming everything into one message that's 90% abbreviations and general "what the gently caress is this"-ness?

People often tell me that my articles are too dense and a tad long, but sometimes there just isn't a good way to convey meaning without specificity. I wouldn't worry about it. Screw being ineffective for the sake of brevity.

Pete Prisco kills himself with a gunshot to the head, making sure his cold, cold heart is kept intact so it can be used for medical research into the long term effects of sports media journalism. The whole "players know exactly what they are getting themselves into" angle is so loving disgusting. They know it's a violent game, but the research into how incredibly devastating it is has been fairly recent. The players have every right to be greedy. They're the ones who are going to end up dead in their 50's, not Goodell or the owners. Give them every loving dime that the NFL makes off of them. P.S. go pats

I think I only read Peter King at this point to roll my eyes.Peter loving King posted:I went to Boston Tuesday night to catch a Red Sox game. Nothing of great substance happened, other than a good night out with some friends and family. And a wonderful meal—at Eastern Standard, around the corner from Fenway Park on Commonwealth Avenue. If you like a place with a fine menu and a better beer menu—and a place where the wait staff can talk about the beer the way Italian waiters can talk about wine at a restaurant in Italy—Eastern Standard’s the place for you. Oh, thanks for telling me about that Peter.

How wonderful it must be to live in a world where every loving thing you see is a cause for celebration. And where the worst catastrophes you suffer are sub-par hotels (paid for by your employer) and less than perfect airline flights (paid for by your employer).

He won't be the only sportswriter bitching about it, which is dumb and annoying because they're being paid to be at the loving Superbowl.

Weather touched me  I got paid a fortune to write drivel about sports, flown all over the country all the time, and then got to go to the Super Bowl and it was mildly uncomfortable temperature-wise. What a travesty. If they'd rather be warm, they can watch and report live from my living room and I'll use their passes.

Part of me hopes that not only does it snow, but it's a warm weather team vs a cold weather team and the warm weather team wins. That, or the cold weather team blows them out, causing mass controversy forever. But preferably the first, so that we get more cold weather superbowls.

Remember that time the Super Bowl was in Jacksonville and the press spent two weeks bitching about getting paid to go to the Super Bowl and being showered with all kinds of free poo poo because they had to go through the horrible inconvenience of doing it IN JACKSONVILLE?!?

I hope it snows two feet and a giant sheet of frozen snow lets loose from the stadium, landing in the press box and killing all within. Draw that.

They should still hold the game in Jersey, but place the press box in a research station in Antarctica or something.

I hope it takes place in a blizzard with ridiculous wind and it's Brady vs Rodgers and everyone is totally sure they're going to be fine because they play in the cold and it's just so windy and gross the two teams just spend all game running the ball and doing tiny short dumpoffs.

It actually doesn't get that windy in the new building. Even when it's whipping around pretty good outside its pretty calm in the bowl itself. The old building had a tunnel that opened from one end zone right onto the playing field, that was the source of the terrible winds/reputation at Giants Stadium. It might be cold with a lot of precipitation but it won't be old school [John Facenda voice] swirling winds of Giants Stadium. [/John Facenda voice]

The pats looked pretty bad last night but this is such an entitled, hysterical load of crap I had to check and make sure it wasn't a parody of  . There's teams that will probably have 2 or 3 wins at most this season, complaining about being 2-0 is a real bad look.

"WE AREN'T UNBEATABLE ANYMORE, WE LOOK KINDA BAD, EVERYTHING IS HORRIBLE, WAAAAAAA" I think it was Patriots fans who started the "NFL is rigged" talk too, shortly after the Pats lost Superbowl 46. Even though using superbowl 46 as an example is easily the dumbest thing. Febreeze fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Sep 13, 2013 |
