‘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?

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…

Old Team Tuesday: The Burke brothers

Old Team Tuesday is a weekly feature taking a look at former teams that have gone by the wayside. This week’s edition takes a look at the most successful youth baseball team Buffalo ever produced.

 **********************************************
At Cazenovia Park in Buffalo, there are two baseball diamonds and a softball field nestled along Warren Spahn Way. Spahn, the greatest baseball player to ever call Western New York home, represented South Park High School on that dirt. However, for all the accolades Spahn would go on to collect in his 21 seasons as a major league pitcher, his story isn’t the only legend born on that field. In 1929 – some 18 years before the Little League World Series was established – a group of teenage boys that epitomized the term “rag-tag” had a summer to remember, and it all started with a little rejection.

 James “Mugsy” Flynn rounded up the rest of the castoffs and implored them to work on their fundamentals in order to become better. Flynn…
