No Amount of Social Distancing is Going to Make You Feel Better About The Future of the Mets It is March 18th, 2020. It’s around the middle of the day for most people in the United States. You are alone. So what, right? You’re always alone anyway. The only difference between being alone last March 18th is that no one (rightfully) called you a hero for it. A year ago today, if you […] Coaches Corner 2 responses 5 min read March 18, 2020
Art & Artist I wasn’t as nervous about starting my new career as I thought I would be – at least, not at first. I suppose part of my casual approach to the situation was the daily consumption of anxiety medication combined with the fact I had decided to call a part-time job working the overnight desk at […] Coaches Corner No responses 20 min read January 15, 2020
Look At Me. I Am The Coach Now. In the exact same week, long time hockey personality/Godhead/xenophobe/builder of the game and the host of Hockey Night in Canada’s fabled Coach’s Corner segment *and* the old, ailing coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs got fired. Let’s break this down a bit. Don Cherry is gone. I named my little sports-or-whatever column on this publication […] Coaches Corner One response 7 min read November 22, 2019
The future of Major League Baseball. This may be distressing news to some of you, and it pains me to be the one who breaks it, but anime is not real. Obviously anime – the medium – is real. If it wasn’t, you couldn’t have weird, heated, and vaguely Gary Glitter adjacent arguments about which 13 year old girl from Neon […] Coaches Corner 4 responses 8 min read October 24, 2019
When the Sun Opens When the Sun Opens I was told a lie growing up. It was one of those lies that was, at its very core, entirely harmless, especially when it was fed to the over-imaginative brain of a child. Of course, harm is hardly a dualistic thing. There’s a sliding scale involved, because the world is […] Coaches Corner One response 13 min read June 10, 2019
You Can Hear The People Shouting Have you ever heard a joke that was so funny you wish you could hear it a thousand times? A quip, a phrase, an anecdote, anything – not necessarily for the first time either – that simply appreciates in value the more and more you hear it? Do you wish that there was a way […] Coaches Corner 3 responses 9 min read October 23, 2018
Death There’s something old people like to say about the only certainties in life being death and taxes, but come on, let’s be real. No one actually pays their taxes. If the president doesn’t have to, why should anyone else? It’s startlingly easy to just funnel your money through 3rd party platforms as “gifts” and keep […] Coaches Corner 2 responses 6 min read September 15, 2018
I Tried To Order A Fortnite Burger At McDonald’s. This Is My Story. ON August 6th, let’s all go to mcdonald’s and order a fortnite burger. the look on the employee’s faces will be awesome. One month ago I woke up at about 7:30, and, like everyone else in the world, I immediately checked my Twitter feed during my morning shit. Buried inside of “The Algorithm” (which actually […] Coaches Corner 4 responses 8 min read September 13, 2018
Top 5 Ways You Can Tell If You Are Currently Living In A Society You’ve probably asked yourself this question before. “Am I living in a society?” If you’re the type of person who googles “QAnon Antifa Paul Simon Farewell Concert” and “What does SEO stand for?” you probably have always pondered the great questions in life, like “What is a society?”, “am I living in one?”, “Do they […] Coaches Corner One response 14 min read September 6, 2018
Who Is PlayerUnknown? Solving the Greatest Mystery of Our Time. There are questions that, with enough time and enough lack of answers, become embedded in the human psyche. The collective consciousness of mankind still asks themselves every day about the functionality of magnets, or whether someone shot and killed John F. Kennedy, or if his head just did that. There’s been one specific question on […] Coaches Corner 2 responses 5 min read April 22, 2018
The Coaches Corner “Three Days Late Playoff Preview” Article It’s the most wonderful time of the year, folks. That’s right. It was Homestuck Day yesterday. Just kidding. I don’t even give enough of a shit about 4/13 to write a joke review. Hiveswap actually did come out, by the way. It was okay. A solid 7/10. Ever since then, Homestuck was bought some anime […] Coaches Corner 2 responses 3 min read April 14, 2018
A Response to “Overwatch’s Nicest Players Are Giving Me Anxiety” Firstly – Nathan Grayson, go fuck yourself. I have been working in the journalism industry for half a decade, and I have been around journalism and the products thereof for my entire life. I have witnessed some truly extreme and embarrassing takes from the “verified” “professional” types, from CNN to Fox and Friends to Carles […] Coaches Corner 5 responses 3 min read March 9, 2018
