Gonna write my thesis on why it’s not weird to watch a series because you don’t have it in you to watch a whole movie but end up watching 5 hours of TV

She’s about to win a grand off those guys. The absurdity of the situation is so awesome. I’ve been cheering myself up ever since I heard about it just by imagining how mad her coworkers probably are. Sports are the best

My buddy’s girlfriend, who has never watched sports in her life, did a March Madness bracket tournament with her sports-bettor coworkers. She picked randomly and based on the cuteness of mascots and is in the top 0.02% of brackets.

@esaagar could you and @krystalball add a segment to BP that's just you railing on underdressed public figures and doing outfits for them? I would watch the shit out of that

[colin @ballinclack]

the people who are mad about the MLB changes making games shorter are just mad they have less time to stare at their phones with sports taking place in the background. baseball games should not take 7 fucking hours and i'll die on this hill

trying to buy clothes after moving from the west to the east coast seems to go like this:
1. check to see if you have money. If you do, go to Vineyard Vines or J. Crew and buy one of everything. If you don't, go to step 2.
2. wear gym stuff but call it 'ath-leisure'
