New Year's Eve is Amateur Hour

And other reasons to loathe its fake frivolity

Today, we destroy a cherished holiday, make Bengals fans happy by picking the Chiefs, light up Jon Rahm and pay musical props to Root Boy Slim and The Sex Change Band, featuring the Root-ettes. Should be fun.

New Year’s Eve is a bore. It’s a night for amateurs, poseurs and the easily led. It’s an occasion when we get behind the wheel after drinking to excess and rationalize that stupidity by saying, well, by saying it’s New Year’s Eve.
