‘You’re the Worst’ is the latest show I can’t stop watching

* Possible spoiler alerts ahead *

I just watched the season three finale of ‘You’re the Worst’ and I have sooooooooo many thoughts.

My first impression of the show was that it was incredible that I could both love and hate every single character simultaneously. The story lines are unfathomably complex and relatable and ridiculous and hilarious and straining. It’s like if ‘How I Met Your Mother’ went to college. And it’s spectacular.

The show centers on Jimmy (Chris Geere) and Gretchen (Aya Cash) as well as Edgar (Desmin Borges), Lindsay (Kether Donohue), Paul (Allan McLeod), and to a lesser extent, Becca (Janet Varney) and Vernin (Todd Robert Anderson). Jimmy and Gretchen pride themselves on being flawed human beings as their initial one-night stand blossoms into a relationship version of a corpse flower.

Along the way, they battle mental health issues, intimacy issues, and trust issues while ignoring the same problems in their friends and families. But there’s something so endearing about them that it’s hard to get mad at them for being [air quotes] the worst.

I don’t want to give a lot away here. I just think the show is absolute dynamite. The final scene in season three was F@&#!*% ABSURD and it put a knot in my stomach but I’m hooked so hard. Instead of giving you more words, I’ll just show you some clips and call it a day:

September 6, wy@ tho?

Embarrassment of richest

The U.S. men’s soccer team lost 2-1 last night at the hands of Trinidad and Tobago, missing out on a chance to play at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Seething experts and fans immediately called it the national team’s most humiliating loss ever. I can’t go into the technical aspect of it all, because frankly I don’t know a lot. But let me just try to give you a sense of what I make of this mess.

The program seems adrift at sea with no help in sight. The women’s side – perennial powerhouses with a wealth of young talent constantly bettering the system – delivers on the pitch, so their shuffling of coaches a few years ago was more dismissible, especially since it produced a World Cup win in 2015 under Jill Ellis. Meanwhile, the men have been failing to build sustainable growth, alternating waves of impressive play with wholly pitiful performances.
On the pitch, the Jurgen Klinsmann tenure was riddled with bad losses, including a disastrous appearance at the 2015 Gold Cup and a sloppy showi…

The IOC did better (this time)

This afternoon, IOC President Thomas Bach announced that the Russian Olympic Committee would be banned from competing in PyeongChang, South Korea when the XXIII Winter Olympic Games get underway in February. The Russians have been under intense scrutiny following widespread doping allegations throughout the organization surrounding the 2014 Games the country hosted in Sochi. Some athletes will still be allowed to participate, provided they can pass a rigorous and thorough examination.

The "Olympic Athletes from Russia" who are admitted will compete under the Olympic flag  will certainly draw plenty of attention, but it'll be the athletes missing from the games who will be the primary talking points in the lead-up to and throughout the Olympics. Among the highest-profile sports hit by the verdict will be ice hockey.
The NHL announced several months ago that it would not release its players and put a three-week hiatus in the middle of its season, and now the KHL will follow …

Jake’s Takes: Dealing Kane offers plenty of upside

By Jake Dehlinger

The Buffalo Sabres must trade Evander Kane.
I said it. It might not be what you want to hear, but I’ll offer some perspective.
Too many fans believe that he should be re-signed. In reality, we need to look at the team as a whole. There is no denying that Kane is essentially 25 percent of the team’s offense this season. Unfortunately for us Sabres fans, this is a problem. Too many variables play into why the Sabres must deal Kane before the deadline. Ultimately, it is up to general manager Jason Botterill with what he wants to do. Realistically, I think we will see Kane gone from a Buffalo uniform.
Goal scoring is at an absolute premium in the NHL. If you can finish off of playmakers, teams want you. Teams who are looking to make deep postseason runs are definitely going to take a run at players like that.
Enter Evander Kane.
Kane’s stat line currently reads 12 goals and 23 points through 25 games played. That is incredible. He has scored the most even-strength goals dating…
