This week, the Seahawks signed Austin Davis to back up Russell Wilson. I don’t need to tell you that Austin Davis is a shitty quarterback.

Neighbors Are Hell
When I was a young kid we knew all the names of pretty much everybody in our whole little neighborhood.

Real Madrid Won Everything And Don't Have Much To Show For It
Real Madrid, whose riches and fame and consistent, historic success as a club are unmatched in soccer’s long history, just capped off one of their greatest seasons ever—and it was just the latest of a string of triumphant years that by all rights should indelibly brand this era as their own.
