Guaranteed Rate Field is awful in every way. The name is too long, the company has absolutely no affiliation with the city, and the logo is an arrow pointing down.

See, I like your theory, but I find that being in that middle group means that you get idiots who pass you, move back into your lane, and slow down. So then you have to pass them (most likely, canceling the cruise and waiting for a gap in fast lane traffic for the opportunity), only to have them pass you and start the…

They’re great in theory (except for reducing jobs) but bad in execution. I first used one at a rest area Burger King on a road trip and had to abandon it and just order at the counter because the UI was confusing...I think it wasn’t clear if by pressing a button I was asking for a topping on my burger or asking for ext…

So because the guy being paid millions of dollars to be on the #1 broadcasting team on CBS is doing a better job than a random internet commenter could, he should be exempt from criticism? How about comparing him to other high-profile analysts?

Yeah, I both like some of what Romo is doing and am not impressed/excited about him predicting what’s going to happen next. His enthusiasm is great, and his lack of a filter is unfortunately going to be taken away by CBS as soon as possible (I can’t recall ever hearing a commentator mention that a player was…

There are way too many variables in work travel to have a definitive answer. Assuming that you like the travel, I think 4-6 times a year would be the sweet spot.

I’d define that as a crucial element of the play and up for review. I don’t know exactly how it would be adjudicated (penalties offset and replay the down?) but if the replay determines there was indeed PI and also a crucial hold by the offense that was necessary for the pass to even be thrown, and that both of those…

I never understand the argument that a clearly blown call doesn’t matter because the team could have overcome it if they’d played better in the rest of the game. Now, I do agree that lobbying for the league to change the result is a nonstarter because correctly calling PI on that play would not have meant with 100%…

It’s understandable I guess that people want to speed up the reviews, but it’s amazing how many people want to take away evidence for the officials to use when determining if the right call was made. Slow motion is a valuable tool for determining certain things (did the ball cross the goal line before the runner’s…

The very simple solution to the problem you describe would be to rule that only penalties/potential penalties that materially affected the play can be reviewed. (Or if that’s still too vague, force the coach throwing the challenge flag to explicitly say what he’s challenging). So if you think there was pass…

I think we get hung up on the term “judgment call” when the reality is that almost every call a ref makes requires them to use their judgment. Look at what happened with the definition of a catch this year: it’s just as much of a judgment call as it was before, but it’s being called in a way that matches up with how…

NFL RBs for sure. They already have the shortest careers on average, plus teams have realized that they are easily replaceable with a midround pick. So they don’t earn very much (comparatively) on a rookie contract, and they are unlikely to earn a big free agent contract because teams would rather use another 3rd…

After having to listen to him wax poetic about Tom Brady all afternoon, I had to re-evaluate my previous opinion that Joe Buck talking about Aaron Rodgers is the worst experience as a viewer. There’s excitement for the game, and then there’s fawning over one player as if you work for the team.

The Saints had 1st and 10 from the Rams 13 with 1:58 left. Had they run the ball all 3 times, the most probable outcome is that they would have kicked the field goal and given the Rams a little over a minute to tie the game. As it turned out, the Rams had quite a bit more time but didn’t really need all of it...they…

Yeah, that was an really unfortunate penalty, but it was unquestionably a penalty. And one so stupid I feel like the Chiefs should be allowed to fine him for it. I get jumping offsides, but how do you line up in the neutral zone and not realize it?

All of that may be true, but none of it is the least bit relevant to whether or not the restaurant is right to insist that everyone be present before seating the group.

The problem with this, and any proposal, to stop awarding the best draft picks to the teams with the worst records is that unless you make draft order completely random (which causes its own problems...who wants the Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers, or Yankees to get the #1 pick in next year’s draft?), there will always be an…

That’s a bizarre thing to put in a school handbook. Actual counterfeiting is a felony. Does the school also feel the need to spell out that murder, arson, armed robbery, etc, are prohibited by school rules?

Interesting...I haven’t experienced that, and my wife and I occasionally go out to eat with her sister so we do have a party of 3 in those cases. Most of the places I’m thinking of have 2-person tables that are literally only big enough for 2; we’ve never been asked to squeeze into a table like that and if so I’d walk…

I’m sure there are exceptions, but I’m hard pressed to think of a reason why reserving for 4 instead of 3 would cause a major problem for the restaurant. Not many places have tables that will seat 3 but not 4.
