We go now to a message from LA Rams Head Coach, Sean McVay Good afternoon, America. I'm 33 years old. Last Sunday, millions of people from around the world gathered to watch Super Bowl 53 where Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the rest of the New England Patriots defeated our LA Rams.

God, Jared Goff fucking blows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGep7BPle4c There are no free lunches. I had been handed a car, a prehistoric 2004 Toyota Prius that allows me the freedom to leave the city, and the promise of better summers, so long as I can keep it running. But even free cars come with their

so what I'm saying about the Welsh is that- Oh hi. You've caught me brainstorming with the other writers at Door Flies Open Dot Com. A lot of readers don't know this, but the majority of our supposedly reactionary commentary on the game is actually conceived, drafted and produced long before

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day, everybody. Wait, is that right? Can you have a Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day, or is that crass? I'm not selling mattresses here. Do I have to go with Solemn Martin Luther King Jr Day? Is it all too soon? This is going horribly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blHmpIEThmo Hey everybody,

This team is above .500? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPk2Cg0TazY The Nets played the Celtics on Monday. This seems like a rerun from last week, but I checked. It was a different game. They met up in Brooklyn this time, so that's a change of pace. Also, they won. Much better start to the week in

A few weeks ago, I decided it would be fun to review the 1975 Russian classic The Irony of Fate. I assumed it was going to be read by 10...maybe 20 people. That was a miscalculation. I had no idea just how many Russians turned out for a 43 year old

Man those guys really love romcoms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2uNp80wcZY I've gone viral, only none none of you guys really know it. That's fine. On January 2nd, I'd posted a brief opinion piece on The Irony of Fate. It's a Russian movie, so unless you are well versed in their history, every single reference will go

God those Pelican and Grizzlies losses earlier this year sucked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LoTHq5mGAQ To be a fan in 2019 is to consider yourself an expert. The experience of following either a team or a sport will inevitably force the viewer to not only believe, but to loudly proclaim to friends and complete strangers over

Happy New Years, Jabronis. ***Editors note: I realize this is the 2nd of January, and not in fact, the 1st. I'd written this to go up on Jan 1, but I got started on it late- about 1pm on Jan 1, and I decided to take a minute to, you know,

This blog has to be about something more than simply recapping the Brooklyn Nets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIXBCmxtvEM I'm going to have to move. Not out of the city itself, or even the borough, but further away from the trendy, downtown adjacent realm where I live right now. And as much as I try to

One of my favorite traditions is catching the better part of four or five airings of A Christmas Story on TBS. Due to the nature of this marathon, I've seen this movie more times than I've seen The Shawshank Redemption. Hell, I've seen it more times than Anchorman, which shouldn't be

I've been taking you for granted. It's partly my nature. Ask my wife or ex-girlfriends. Or my employers. The cycle never breaks. In the beginning I will step in to a new project/relationship/environment/habit with the work ethic of a completely earnest Amish man. I become ill with the thought of
