No no no, remember, no funds are allowed to be spent on public transit in this deal.

Except some people do. And some people don't live in Lincoln Park. And pretty much anyone from Waukegan to Hammond would've been close enough to rent out their houses, if the experience from Atlanta held.

Or a huge opportunity to rent out your house located near one of the venues for a few weeks, bunk at your parents' place out of town and telecommute during the games, then pay your mortgage for the rest of the year.

I'm assuming it doesn't matter that the ball crossed the line? (So there's no "breaking the plane" nonsense)

Eh, some people like vanilla and some people like chocolate. I loved that it was just about the only show where they weren't teaching you recipes, they taught you how to cook. ATKdid sort of the same, but at the end of the day they told you the "best" way. Both great shows, just a different approach.

Sadly. Good Eats isn't back. It's a weekly one-shot Youtube deal called "Cook Smart." This was like #4 or 5.

With all of Adam Silver's stern talk

minor tweak,which incorporates my pet peeve, they won't say you have to "run the ball" they'll make sure you know you have to "run the football," as though Arian Foster would suddenly decide to pick up a handful of bocce balls and start running with them instead.

"What in the unholy fuck is Reader's Digest?"

Wow, Jen AND Johnson? You're possibly the most Google-proof person ever. I'm legitimately surprised you got away without a middle initial in there too (or a Jm J Bullock-like name hack)

I don't want to be cynical (that's a lie, it's my favorite thing), but is anyone else calling bullshit on the "we didn't have time to review the footage, so we just went with it?" It sounds suspiciously like what the apology would be if the backlash against it were too harsh and the WWL needed to throw someone under…

A friend of mine from college (also a Jennifer from the 1970s) tried going with "Nif" (as the middle syllable of Jennifer) with mixed success.

Slightly different, but similarly...so my son meets another kid at the waterpark, and they start playing pool basketball together. Kid says his name is Jaden, and I mistakenly thought it was a kid from my kid's school (there were like 6 kids from his school there). So after initially botching that detail, I said to my…

Let's save some time:

Those are sane and reasonable responses...you must be new here.

No, I know, $1B is definitely on the table. I just kinda feel like there might be an effort to a) tack on a shadow punishment of making him sell the team for below market value and b) make sure the team ends up in the hands of an African American.

Which is also why you can forget about the "bidding war" we keep hearing about. Magic Johnson is the only guy who is buying this team, and he's buying it below market value.

He only needs 22, so I'm guessing he gets there with or without DeVos (or even Cuban). However even an old fuckwit like DeVos knows you never want to be the "1" in a 28-1 vote, so my guess is he goes along rather than point the pitchforks and torches at himself

You're both kind of right. Their lease said they had to be called "Anaheim" but the owner wanted togo back to being associated with LA...thus the camel.

Hey look, you and I may know they're worthless, but how impossibly naive do you have to be to think it doesn't have an effect? And next thing you know, when it's free agent time, and they're deciding who to make offers to, it becomes "well, we know it's BS, but do we really want that distraction in the locker room?"…
