Philly Radio Dipshit Calls Jason Kelce A "House Negro"
Sports radio is full of terrible morons who use their short tempers to draw out a two-minute topic into a 10-minute segment. (Examples can be found here, here, here, and here.) The only acceptable sports radio is Mike Francesa taking 40 minutes to name all the stops on the 7 train, and presumably th...

CNN Anchor Talks Powerball, Is Extremely Bad At Math
There’s a good chance that at some point this week your dumbest Facebook friend—Craig, I’m guessing—shared that stupid meme claiming that the $1.3 billion powerball jackpot could in fact solve poverty in America. Turns out CNN news anchor Chris Cuomo is just as dumb as that poor idiot Craig....
Peter King Sounds New Depths Of Stoogery With Open Letter To NFL Players
For all the danger they purport to identify in the world, conspiracy theories, at bottom, are comforting. They’re orderly and symmetrical and closed, like a square dance, matching participants 1:1 to malign intents and thus to culpability. Either you are in the conspiracy by cynical choice and sinis...

Colts Won't Chuck Pagano, After All
It was just last Thursday when ESPN reported the Indianapolis Colts were going to fire head coach Chuck Pagano after Sunday’s game.
