Sean McCarthy

He is the child of two actors. He was selling it. It’s in his blood.

Way to waste Chase Burns last night when I and everyone else could read the radar and knew that game wasn't getting out of the first.

When I was in advertising we used to do this bit like "hey you've been traded to Leo Burnett. They need you in Chicago for their big pitch tomorrow." and the other person would go like "But I just bought a house. My wife is 8 months pregnant." and it would get more elaborate every time.

It was illegal to criticize Nick Krall on social media a couple years ago, but now I think even some of the diehard Krallers are starting to lose faith.

Legal gambling is a scourge.

and then they never land the plane. Then get interrupted by a different tangent from a cohost and the whole crew moves on in the conversation without ever finishing the point. Love that.

I was just on a week's vacation with my parents who are only in their mid-60's and the roles have shifted. I think I said "can you both stop looking at your phones?" like five times a day. It was like parenting pre-teens.

Not a shot at the Cubs. I'm saying they behave as if they've never seen the Yankees win the World Series.

The fact that they're basically all Yankees fans who behave like pre-2016 Cubs fans puts out enough of a lack of self-awareness stench to turn me completely off. (Example: They put out a video last year with Aaron Judge highlights set to the Moneyball score). I guess my instincts were correct.

1. The first I've ever heard of it was a few weeks ago when I heard that my city would be hosting some matches.
2. No, but I know at least four games will be in Cincinnati!
3. I don't know when it's happening, but I know at least four games will be in Cincinnati!
4. No

We have an all time meltdown in progress at the French Open.

I've seen Eagles fans already griping about their draft. They enjoyed the Super Bowl for like 11 minutes.

It actually feels liberating to see another fanbase like that because I know that the Bengals could win the super bowl and it wouldn't solve my problems.

Injury luck is a big part of it at that level. My teammate might have been able to claw his way to the show, but he kept getting injured and just didn't want to do the minor league grind anymore.

I don't know any steelers fans who actually know ball. The team's been not bad for so long that they all have this warped, optimistic view of any player who signs as if the uniform is magical (and they may be right). They're the only NFL fanbase who doesn't hate their team. It makes me nuts.

Had a post go semi-viral this week and I'm reminded you do not actually want a post to go viral.

I don't know how anyone ever stops the Oilers powerplay.

I always think about my high school baseball teammate who was freakishly good compared to us. Got drafted by the Tigers in the 4th round, all conference big 12, never made it out of AA ball.

I learned how to drive in Columbus. I realize now after living in other cities that Columbus is a weirdly difficult place to learn directions and learn how to drive. Mostly it's that there isn't a big obvious landmark to orient yourself to. Like in Chicago you always know where the lake is.

On a family trip as a kid I have very vivid memories of my parents yelling at each other because we got lost in Montreal during rush hour. Youths will never know the feeling of sitting in the backseat thinking their parents will get a divorce because of maps.

Someone at my office cleans up the coffee everyday at 1:30 and I think that is far too early. At least let it get to 2.

TJ Friedl is a good case to explain the Reds problems over the last 30 years. Good baseball teams have like 5 TJ Friedls. The Reds only ever have one, maybe two.

When I was 26 I landed a job with an ad agency in Seattle and I thought I was the King of Cool Guy Mountain. Still will randomly think of things I said and did at that place that makes me shiver for like 10 straight minutes. I'm doing it now.

Now that the Magic have a new look I figured today's a good time to share my Orlando Magic concept logo from a few months ago.

I don't like that Nicole Kidman is in like 11 different streaming shows. I don't like that every conversation is "Have you watched Small Tiny Pretty Objects? It's on Blokl" I don't like that the way I discover shows is press releases like "Show with promising premise Cancelled after one season"

I love that it's made a return recently with "baddies". I think that's a good development.

I would like new and recent WNBA fans who've never watched other sports before to ask "Is this normal in sports?" before getting upset at something.

Missed this. What’d you go with?

It's bad with old people too. I just spent a week with my parents on a beach vacation. I don't think the boomers looked up from their facebook reels or their Candy Crush one time in six days.
