‘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?

Old Team Tuesday: The Tonawanda Kardex

Old Team Tuesday will be a weekly feature taking a look at former teams that have gone by the wayside. The first edition of this segment takes a look at one of the quirkiest stories in Western New York football history.
**********************************************
For most Buffalo football fans, 1921 is next to meaningless. The few and far between who can rattle off facts about the Staley Swindle will know that was the season that George Halas stole the league title from the Buffalo All-Americans, the pre-eminent professional gridiron team in Western New York. However, fewer and much further between will also be able to say that in 1921 – for one day – Buffalo had two NFL teams.
--- Early beginnings ---
The New York Pro Football League was formed in the early 1900s, and in 1916, was joined by the All-Tonawanda All-Stars. Led by Syracuse legend and Tonawanda native Tam Rose, the team posted a 9-7 victory over the Rochester Jeffersons to claim the 1917 league championship. After suspendin…

Old Team Tuesday: The history of soccer in Buffalo

Image
Old Team Tuesday is a weekly feature taking a look at former teams that have gone by the wayside. This week’s edition does not look at the history of a single team, but revisits the entire scope of upper-level soccer in Western New York as a whole.
**********************************************
The relationship between Buffalo and soccer has been more unstable than a marriage to Zsa Zsa Gabor. Nine teams have set up shop here, with few finding any measure of success and most being forced to close down or move away. Now, as Americans finally seem to be falling for the beautiful game, that sentiment is echoed in Western New York, where Buffalonians finally have a team they can cozy up to.
Let’s start in 1976, near the tail end of Gabor’s sixth marriage. The Buffalo Blazers of the Canadian-based National Soccer League opened play at War Memorial Stadium. A mediocre first season didn’t disparage the team, and in 1977, the club finally made progress, going 12-3-3 to wind up third in their 10-…
