Just give Hunt a couple weeks of good fantasy production and everyone will forget it ever happened. It worked with Tyreek Hill

I just googled this Hill guy, I had legitimately forgotten all about this. Also the top story on Google about him wasn't about the Chiefs culture allowing something like this to happen again but about how he should be in the pro bowl

They released Hunt but fucking Hill strangled his pregnant girlfriend, his sounds way worse tbh. I guess you only need to take a stand if it was a recently-publicized incident

There's also video which is really all that ever matters (see: the brutal murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi being the bad thing the government who literally did 9/11 did to get on our bad side)

Remember when 60 Minutes did a fluff piece on the crown prince. Oops!

This remains one of the more uncanny posts of all time. As I recall he also shouted out Rupert Murdoch for setting this dinner up.

Checking in on baseball... why the fuck are the Mets interested in Cano and Edwin Diaz? What are they even trying to do?

The Reds are moving on from Billy Hamilton. He isn't really good BUT the Rockies really need somebody to liberate Charlie Blackmon from center, so might be worth a look?

I'm really glad the Braves decided to get Brian McCann. What could be better than a 35 year old, overweight catcher that batted .220 last season

I guess that's why they call it the Blues

I know, I'm really sad that George HW Bush died too

The Real Folk Blues

how bout them WARRIORS

They suck

The Raptors beat them, they're done.

Speaking of the Raptors, Pascal Siakam is slowly becoming one of my favourite players. I'm posting an article solely for the headlining photo:

He's like a supremely lanky teddy bear!

Correct. Also I have no idea which of you guys is who.

I'm Brian with Tom Nook avi
Captain Hammer is Kevin with Luigi
Chewy is Mason
MNTwins is Chester

Don't remember their avis

Wow, chewy never friended me

@Chewster my friend code is SW-7837-9201-2219

If any of you have ever played Mega Man 8 then you know... the rocket boarding is truly the worst thing ever

(I'll add you later, I think whenever you posted your FC before I wasn't using my Switch much at the time so I didn't get around to it)

If anyone has awitch online and wants to battle me I have 8 badges now

I'll battle you. I have 3

I have one badge. Got sucked into The Messenger and now I'm finally playing LA Noire

Fuck Alabama. Georgia should have had this game.

The College Football Playoff is a complete joke. UCF has gone undefeated 2 straight years and will not get the chance to play for a national title. NFL players can play more games, FCS players can play more games, but apparently FBS players are special unicorns that couldn't possibly handle playing a couple more games a year.

And yeah they wouldn't win but they deserve the chance

damn that was a great sec championship game

A GA team blows another lead. My state gets more meme worthy every year

So, this trade has now happened. I won't pretend to know anything about the prospects the Mets sent over but it still doesn't make much sense to me. They offloaded Jay Bruce but AFAIK they still end up with more bad contract money on the books thanks to Cano (the Mariners are effectively paying $20M of Cano's contract is my understanding).

I understand Diaz is the real prize in this trade but we all know how volatile relievers can be, and he's more of a guy for a win-now team but the Mets aren't good

Cano is probably still pretty good and Diaz rules. It makes sense if they're serious about competing but they're the Mets so this is probably all they're gonna do and then just hope things break their way again. It might work out because sometimes it does for them but it probably won't unless they do more stuff and like I said they probably won't make another splash

The Mets are pretty bad for a team that had 4 aces (or whatever people said) a couple of years ago

Matt Harvey is one of the most inexplicable falls from grace. He was better after going to the Reds last year but was still just totally average. He was legit one of like the three best pitchers in the game at one point.

Have you guys done Luigi's Balloon World in Mario Odyssey? I've never tried it but I've seen a couple videos and it looks like it can be insanely challenging/frustrating

Yes it's actually surprisingly fun

My mom just moved but she still has the old house for a little while. My bike was there but I lost the key to the u lock so it had just been sitting there locked up for over a year. I decided to go and get it this morning before the house gets ready to be sold. I froze the lock with a can of compressed air (surprisingly easy to use one of them as like a freeze Ray) and wailed on it with a hammer for five solid minutes. My bicep is very sore now. It didn't work. I know my dad spent a lot of money on this lock but I still thought I'd be able to bash it open. I freed the lock from the wall anyway but it's still attached to the bike which is now unusable in my apartment. Do I have to walk my damn bike to a friggin locksmith and are they even going to help someone who has obviously been trying to break a lock

I shouldn't exaggerate. My bicep was feeling pumped up for a minute like it does when you've been doing curls. It's not sore but it hurt for a minute.

I will travel to you with my bolt cutters

Yeah, you're probably gonna have to go to a locksmith. If it's an expensive lock, it's meant to deal with freeze and smash attempts.

I beat New Game+ in The Messenger. It goes all the way up to NG+13 but I think I'm done with it now.

One of my top games I've played this year even though the humor usually falls flat.

I would have had the locksmith come when it was still attached in home. You can call to see if they will come to your place to get the lock off so you don't have to carry the bike around.

The Messenger must be so good that you didn't even notice the Packers losing to the fucking Cardinals! There's no way McCarthy is sticking around, right? The funniest score from today though is the Jags beating the Colts 6-0.

It sucks that the Ravens are probably going to keep Denver out of the playoffs since they somehow keep winning with Lamar Jackson even though he sucks

When I posted that the game was 0-0. But thanks for reminding me how much the Packers suck

The Packers have the same record as the cleveland browns. cleveland. ohio. *shaking my head* yes I typed it out non abbreviated because thats how shameful it is.

Maybe the packers should do what the browns did and fire their head coach and offensive coordinator.

I've never seen anybody suggest that the Packers should fire their head coach

he spelled it "Packets" in the original tweet and deleted it

That Barry McCockiner guy who shows up as the first reply for me is really obnoxious. He seems to be like everywhere on twitter but he just runs like the same three jokes into the ground over and over and I think he's a Barstool guy or something
