I got wind of this ahead of time
but I figured that Leitch wanted it to be

I find it whimsically amusing that over 30
years after he began his broadcasting career (roughly around
the time he used the word "blowjob" as a synonym for the word "choke" in an ABA game) he is somehow being redefined by a one-sided shouting match ...

When Alex Rodriguez was traded to the Yankees
in 2004, Doug Mientkiewicz, a high-school teammate of Rodriguez’s
in Miami, said he’d be able to handle the pressure. After all, he’d been “under the microscope since he was 15 years old.” A-Rod was only 17 when a scout told Sports Illustrated “he’s the best (amateur prospect) I’ve ever seen.” As we watch A-Rod’s tabloid excoriation across our ...

The one that’s been on my mind of
late is how much it is less a discourse
than a deafening, concurrent series of ill-considered monologues. In response to those monologues come (sometimes a great many) comments that replicate them almost identically; not questions, not really engagements with the source-post, not even really comments in any meaningful way: just sort of instant homages to both the

I've never been one for tearful goodbyes. When
