Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all”

Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since

“Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

a thing I forgot about the Walker Texas Ranger Lever: it would sometimes deliver a clunker and that made it feel a lot more like the randomizer it claimed to be

You are probably never going to find the clip, but Greg Wyshynski learning about this show from Jeff Merek is one of the greatest moments in podcast history.

NBC can send all the takedown requests it wants, nothing in the rulebook says you can’t post Olympics Spuds MacKenzie

Not Olympics but you might want to see what is happening in the T20 World Cup cricket right now...

I get this, but here's where I'm at:

Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

I can't wait until Dutch and Japanese fans roll up this summer to the most scenic WalMart in all of Arlington, TX.

Hope they're not looking for efficient public transit, because Arlington is the largest city is the US without it.

The entire reason they’re locked is to prevent weird freaks like this who have no right to be there from marching in and endangering the kids.

The hickory experiment: What century-old clubs taught me about modern golf In an era of $600 drivers and 'optimized' swings, a band of tinkerers and hobbyists find purity in the 'sweet spot' of a 100-year-old game.

For some reason The Athletic sent me to Hot Springs, Ark., with a set of hundred-year-old golf clubs and a spot in the field at the 2025 U.S. Hickory Open.

I think the problem is saying the other teams lack ambition when things like that happen, Charlotte didn’t lack ambition when they were willing to play Reus more money than LA

DCU ownership’s bank account

They get like 3 more guaranteed Messi games to move to Baltimore, I’m sure they are fine

Glavinovich has been gone for months, so unless they resign him on loan he wasn't part of the converation.
