This is a thing that annoys me. There are two skills to broadcasting: knowing what you are talking about, and speaking coherently and entertainingly. Gruden doesn’t make talk good, but he has coherent and incisive points about football. Barkley is fun to listen to. Reggie is neither. He’s the most inept man in… Read more

Kotaku. I go to the other sites when I see their stories on Twitter or Facebook mostly, but I visit Kotaku’s homepage the most, I think. Read more

They’re both fucking weirdos, and we like them, mostly. Read more

If you’re in southern Brooklyn, I like 4th Ave Pub, because it doesn’t get too too crowded until later on. But there are millions of fine places, so just find something closeish to the G so both halves of BK can get there easily, if you are importing people from one or the other. Read more

I am pro-math, and against math being used as a blunt instrument of subterfuge in moron PR campaigns. I don’t think the average fan will read these; I do think the average PFT blogger will, and relay the Very Serious Investigation to fans. But this type of posture—that any criticism of anything numbers-based must be… Read more
