Fuck Sore Losers

Time for your weekly edition of the Defector Funbag. Got something on your mind? Email the Funbag. And buy Drew’s book, The Night The Lights Went Out, while you’re at it. Today, we're talking about socks, mowing the lawn, filth, and more. My apologies for a shorter than usual bag today. I’m just coming off of a week of work in the field for SF Gate, and I’ve already started in on Why Your Team Sucks, the debut which is on the horizon. So I’ve been a touch squeezed.

'28 Years Later' is the grossest tearjerker I've ever seen

I don’t like horror movies. This goes against my standing as the man of my house, given that I’m routinely asked to confront all manner of scary things on behalf of my wife and kids. I’m the one my family members call on whenever they need someone to kill a big bug, or when something goes bump in the middle of the night, or — scariest of all — the Wi-Fi goes dead. I handle these confrontations with grim determination. I’m not scared of you, cockroach. I got a Dustbuster and I’m not afraid to use it.
Bachelor Parties Are Strictly Optional

Time for your weekly edition of the Defector Funbag. Got something on your mind? Email the Funbag. And buy Drew’s book, The Night The Lights Went Out, while you’re at it. Today, we're talking about AI, coin flips, talk shows, weed, and more. Kevin:Had a bachelor party a couple weekends ago where the only planned activity was going to a gun range (shot an AR-15, absurdly loud/expensive, am good on never going again).
If you're not standing with LA right now, you're the problem

It’s protest season in America once again, which means that I and my fellow clear-headed but very pissed off Americans will take over the streets of multiple cities across the country to voice our extreme displeasure with Donald Trump. I’m not gonna get into all of Trump’s offenses, because even the internet doesn’t have enough space to accommodate them. So let’s boil it down to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Metallica Is Forever

There was a time in my youth where the anticipation of a concert was better than the concert itself. I saw a whole lot of incredible acts back then, but my memories of those shows are largely confined to their buildup. I remember waiting for hours—in a line that wrapped around the local Dayton’s department store—to score tickets to Van Halen, feeling like a prince when I reached the window and they still had seats left.
In This House We Believe Faith No More Is One Of The Most Important Bands In History

Time for your weekly edition of the Defector Funbag. Got something on your mind? Email the Funbag. And buy Drew’s book, The Night The Lights Went Out, while you’re at it. Today, we're talking about the NBA, dogs, Los Angeles, and more. Kurt:Is there a song that you think would be a good basis for a movie? Mine has always been "Everything's Ruined" by Faith No More. It's specific enough to convey themes that could be made into a family drama but also vague enough that there's room for interpretation.

After months of rather awkward courtship, the Pittsburgh Steelers and free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers agreed last night to spend 18 weeks together in darkness.

Last month, the New York Times conducted a survey that found that nearly half of the respondents who approved of President Donald Trump “had not heard much” about anything Trump has done over his first 100 days back in office. The government-sanctioned kidnapping and false imprisonment of pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil? Nope.
What Is One Thing You Wish You Could Experience Again For The First Time?

Time for your weekly edition of the Defector Funbag. Got something on your mind? Email the Funbag. And buy Drew’s book, The Night The Lights Went Out, while you’re at it. Today, we're talking about bacon, the NBA Finals, graphology, and more. Will:What is one thing you wish you could experience again for the first time? Or two, if there's a tie. Superficially, the obvious answer would be losing my virginity. But I’m like pretty much everyone else in that my first time was lousy for both people involved.
