If, like me, you're always looking for fun, mindless escapism, let me suggest that anyone who hasn't listened to 'Smartless' go subscribe and start from he first episode like I have. It's not perfect but there's not an episode where I don't laugh and the chemistry from the 3 hosts is pretty charming

The Patriots only had 4 more first downs in last night's first have of the Super Bowl than I did.

The fact that Anthony Davis was just shipped off to the G-League in DC is a testament to both that, yeah, every athlete gets old and their value to the league drops off but also HOLY SHIT that trade for Luka has to be the worst in sports history. Pretty sure Luka killed Nico's dog or something

I'm sure being a garbage man is always a brutal job but I'm exponentially more grateful to them this week as the blistering cold and the endless piles of snow make their job, I'm sure, 10x more complicated than usual. From the dude hiding inside his warm house, thanks

I haven't seen 'Sinners' yet but I often find that a movie with a million Academy Award nominations is slightly overhyped. Anyone seeing this have feedback on Sinners?

The thing about the Bill firing Sean McDermott, which is the same thing anytime a successful but not championship team fires a coach, is what exactly is the upgrade option out there? Would having Tomlin at the helm make Allen not throw those INTs? I mean there's bad coaches, but SM isn't one of them

It's embarrassing, sure, but it was absolutely the right thing for her to hand over the Nobel Peace Prize. Who gives a shit? She's not actually bestowing any kind of honor to the big dummy - it's a trinket. And if patting him on the head makes it more likely she can RUN A COUNTRY, you do that.

I want to roll my eyes at the Dodgers but then I remember I was a Yankee fan as a 90s kid so instead let me just say we did the whole 'we're going to buy every piece of talent and make the game no fun for a decade' first!

Random thought but the way Netflix nailed the characters of Daredevil, Punisher, Jessica Jones, etc needs to be studied and duplicated as much as possible and for every genre. Give me a gritty GI Joe series as seen by Netflix

Is Myles Garrett the defensive version of Barry Sanders? Video games skills and gaudy numbers for a franchise that is otherwise irrelevant?

The NY Giants being absolutely pointless to the playoff picture all year only to win back to back meaningless games to finish the season, thus messing with their draft positioning, is so perfectly on brand for this franchise in the last decade - it's crazy making.

Every time he says something stupid and outlandish and we all laugh it off, he just does it a few months later.
Anyway, I'm wondering where we'll put the 51st star for Greenland on the new trump flag, selling for $51.51 at whatthefuckishappening.trump.org

Been trying to figure out all day why Buffalo, with all the momentum and Philly unable to do anything offensively, went for 2 at the end. I've now settled on not trusting the kicker to make a FG in those conditions in OT, but otherwise I don't get it. And yeah I know Allen makes that throw 90%+

If we could put together a loser's bracket of Tate vs Paul in any kind of physical combat, that's a PPV I'd cough money up to watch. Win/Win

It's wild that in a 2yr window during which the WNBA reached new heights of popularity that the possibility of it folding entirely became non-zero for the first time in decades.

I know Karoline Leavitt is enabling a madman but she's also the exact kind of delusional hype man we should all have in our lives.
Me: My wife left me
Karoline Leavitt: Congrats to her for holding down such a sexual tornado as you for as long as she did! Clearly her departure is due to exhaustion

Imagine a friend has always wanted a dog. But for whatever reasons, it just never happened. Then one day, you see a pic online and your friend got a hairless cat. They're smiling in the pictures and, you know, good for them, but that's not a dog.
Anyway, congrats to the Knicks on winning the cup

Look, is Mike Johnson a sniveling POTUS puppet? For sure.
But we've had those before. What makes him so unique is his blind allegiance. You've got cracks all over MAGA for a lame duck president with approval ratings at historical lows. At least hedge your bets a little there Mikey, FFS.

The good thing about Lane Kiffin is that he unapologetically exposes the hypocrisy of NCAA coaching bemoaning NIL money or the transfer protocol. The bad thing about Lane Kiffin is he does those thing in such a deeply Lane Kiffin-y way.

Absolutely hate that Sonny Gray is going to Boston but love that maybe the best baseball name in a generation is at least in the division. Tell me that 'Sonny Gray' was the 3rd baseman in Field of Dreams and I wouldn't question you for a second

The number of Thanksgiving dinners that will be interrupted by someone genuinely asking 'What exactly is feltching?' is so damn funny to me.
