Give me a minute...the reason will come to me... Still, I'll take Michigan any day of the week and nine times on Saturday over Ohio State.

Seriously, all of these dickheads bemoaning Lance's lost opportunity this year were shitting all over him last year. And, frankly, they were more correct last year since I don't think he's at all worth the hype, but Jerry will always Jerry.

Well, karma dictates that if, by some miracle, the men's 4x100 team doesn't fuck up a baton pass, another American relay team must fuck up a baton pass in their stead. This year, it was the 4x400 women's turn. You'll get 'em next time, ladies!

I unabashedly love The Blind Side, even with its obvious issues, and will delightedly watch any Sandra Bullock movie other than Speed 2, but the Tuohys themselves can go get fucked with chainsaws.

I've watched the video a dozen times and laughed each time because Ramirez's punch that knocked Anderson down looked more like a glancing blow to me; Ramirez just sort of sideswiped Anderson's chin and down he went! Anderson is a delicate flower, poor thing.🥀

It absolutely would not have happened because the studio heads do not care about writers and actors. At all. They care about spending nothing so that their shareholders are pleased. That's it. If the shareholders pressure them to settle because their bottom line is being adversely affected, they will, but they would never, ever, ever give the writers and actors everything they want; it would cost too much, even if they charged the consumers more for their products.

Yep, I was right: he has no idea what those words mean, and he's a pretentious fool. And, judging on past behavior, a belligerent asshole.

I'm sure he does think the strike is "myopic" in the actual sense of the word, although I have my doubts that he actually knows what that word means; however, he also calls the strike a "reductive" negotiating tactic, which... There is nothing so pretentious as a fool with a few big vocabulary words at his disposal.

They look like boxes of Lemonheads.

Bron-bron doesn't play for the Warriors, though. He organized a press conference no one asked for about it and everything.

Aww, Djoker, too bad. Maybe you should've worn another nano patch? I wear at least seven at all times. One can't have too many nanocrystals doing their very scientifically proven thing, after all! Now, go take some more photos with war criminals. Carlitos, I'm generally ambivalent toward you, but not today. Today, I'm just grateful to you for making Lord Beaker of the Light Beam Nanocrystals your bitch. Besos.

Your entire post was fabulous, @DearEvette, and I can speak to this particular part a bit. I'm in SAG (I actually really work in education and have never done anything of note as an actor, but I was a Theatre major in college), and there are certainly both union and non-union actors who work background. If you are in SAG and work as a background actor, you are indeed covered by the same union rules that Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman are covered by; pay scale is obviously different for background, but maximum number of allowable work hours is the same. Non-union background actors are not covered by those same rules and can be, and are, heavily exploited by producers because of it. And yes, if you want any type of acting career in the US, you do need to be in SAG; allowing yourself to be paid for one day's work and signing your likeness away forever won't be the way to effectuate that, but that's sure as hell what these sacks of shit producers are hoping will happen. As it turns out, I do have a few feelings around this.

I feel so lucky. So very lucky. #blessed

Just as an FYI, those who don't have Twitter accounts won't be able to see her posts.

I was exaggerating for effect, which I thought was pretty obvious. However, if we want to be serious: If karma were real, Pat Robertson would've died long ago; he was an evil bigot who used religion to spread hate throughout his life, and the world is a slightly better place without him in it. Djoker fans cannot claim any moral high ground. The man has spent his career mocking his fellow tennis players, cheating in various ways on and off the court, defending abusive assholes like Justin Gimelstob, espousing various dangerous conspiracy theories, and promoting an authoritarian regime's bellicose claim to another country's territory and people. As @CountryGirl stated, he has been as terrible an ambassador for the sport of tennis as Roger and Rafa, to whom he will inexorably be compared for the rest of his life, have been magnificent. I suppose if there is some semblance of karma – which I do not believe in, particularly, but understand why others do – in the end, it's this: Djoker is only a hero in his own mind and among a small (but vocal) segment of tennis fandom, but he thinks he's the hero everywhere; that's his tragic flaw. The majority of tennis fans have seen how he's conducted himself time and time again and how these other two men have conducted themselves time and time again, assessed what we value about this sport we love, and have decided, "We're good. We have our heroes, and you are not among them." He has 23 Grand Slam titles, and likely will retire with a number higher than that, but because of how he conducted himself on the road to amassing those titles, they will always be the emblems of what he really wants and will never receive: public adoration.

It's far from a perfect analogy, but a way to contextualize this is to say that Serbia is to Kosovo as Russia is to Ukraine. Religion is a big reason why Kosovo declared independence from Serbia since Kosovo is a majority Muslim country, but it still has similarities to the Russia/Ukraine relationship. It wasn't as overtly bellicose, but Djoker's message is similar to the instance when that one Russian gymnast wore a Z on the medal stand right after the war broke out. He had won a bronze medal on parallel bars, and a Ukrainian gymnast had won the gold. It was very hostile and awful, and what Djoker did was basically a more passive-aggressive version of that. So, it's 137,000% more of the same from this fucking asshole. I hope he tears his ACL.

Hey, I'm more than willing to contribute. Bron-bron and the Lakers lose, and the planet is fully powered – win-win!

I'd say the likelihood that Bron-bron will retire is about the same as the likelihood that I will be drafted to replace him. This is purely and absolutely a tactic to distract the dipshits at ESPN and on social media from the real story, which is that King Flopper was summarily swept aside by the court Joker. It's working because dipshits will always dipshit, but if we could find a way to harness the energy of the tears and teeth-gnashing and impotent anger of Stephen A. Smith and Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen and everyone else at ESPN and in Lakers Nation and turn all of that energy into electricity, the world would be fully powered for at least a decade.

Bron-bron-bronnie-bron, I know I should cry very profusely over the tragedy that you and your minions were swept in a most fantastically humiliating fashion, but...

I'm not saying Jimmy Butler couldn't get it, but I am saying he could truly and totally get it.

Well, for someone who's so desperate to stay in the closet, Rodgers could probably have phrased that almost any other way, but whatever. I hope he buys Zach dinner first.

Aaron Rodgers said this about Zach Wilson: "I'm going to make his life heaven off the field." Ummmmm...... 👀 👀 👀

Don't worry, he won't let you like him for long.

Rooting for LeBron James to win anything makes about as much sense to me as dousing oneself in hydrochloric acid.
