Nice. You know, at first when I read "Gag me," I thought you were, as an existentialist, mocking the whole idea of cheering or rooting for complete strangers, simply because they wear the uniform of a corporation one has arbitrarily chosen to support. As it turns out, it seems that you just don't like baseball.
Nice.

Yep. Oh, and the team of strangers I root for is pragmatism, not existentialism, if anyone's keeping score.

Heh. This is classic. Would have been better if they'd have included some Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme's.
Kansas City is known for good BBQ so he's got that going for him.
And Jeff, you lose several points on the troll-o-meter today. 4/10. Time to step up your game man!
Yes, existentialism would not work for a Titans fan, but then again neither would pragmatism. oh snap.
If we don’t try we’ll never know. At least I can find out how good I can be. I can have an answer at the end of the days, and have a hell of a good time with the process. -Desi Davila

They're very good in theory, but they don't work in practice.
Seriously. For a team that is supposedly built around practice, they do a hell of a lot of theorizing. If you think about it, most of who the pragmatists recruit are liberal arts philosophy types. Every now and then you get a cross-over threat from mathematics or physics, but even those guys come from the pure sciences.
I dream about the day that the pragmatists really begin to invest in hard core practice people. When was the last time they took an engineer in the first round? Or a farmer? Or a doctor? God, it drives me crazy. I think in the end they're going to have to get rid of Dewey as the head coach. He's built the team into what it is, but the league has changed and now we need results. There are a lot of up and coming pragmatists. I'd go Cornell West. The guy's smart. He's got contacts outside of the narrow world of theory. Yeah, he's a bit flashy, but hey we'd also be Rooney Rule compliant.
Wow. Google "pragmatism joke" to get a response for Jeff (I'd have added an Allen Iverson picture if I could do pic searches at work), and get this gem.
Nice work, dude!

Engineers actually aren't a fit for their system. They thrive with the Cynical Assholes.
Practice? You talking 'bout practice?

They moved locations since the new stadium had a better corporate suite set-up. Guess you missed that on ESPN 8 - just can't get enough of the ocho.
The Cynical Assholes would be the new team they're putting in London.
