December 2013 ... And so the Ravens - a team with nothing to play for

Every year, this team finds a way and interesting way to get fucked by a quirk in the NFL rulebook.

You are *literally* using Nazi logic

Seriously, how is this still a program. How does Penn State football still exist in this universe. It’s disgusting.

You watching Hard Knocks? It seems like only Landry cares. He gave a 5-minute motivational speech to the WR room and most of them had their hoods up and were staring at the floor. I’m like, sure, maybe they’re tired after a day of practice, but that was the least fucks given room I’ve seen since my last sales call.

If he set a “basketball-like pick” on that play he would have been run the fuck over. All of us would have just read an article about how soft he is, what a diva he is, and how he’s not a team player or true football guy. He also would have been run over and failed at his task.

Henckels Twin Pro S chef’s knife. The most affordable of their “real" knives, and still as good as it gets. If you have to only own one knife this is it, absolutely. It will last an entire lifetime, and your kids’ lifetimes, and it does everything.

I *just* got this last week. Got excited to get stoned and kill dozens of hours meditatively meandering around the universe (I have cancer so, “medicine” and time are two things I have in abundance). Anyway I’m like 7 hours in and I want to set the disc on fire. I built the warp drive but need fuel I think, and I…

Bitty Coyne? I can tell you what she isn’t: a member at Augusta.

It’s legal, if you’re rich enough, or carefully enough obscured behind the legal fiction of a hedge fund or corporation, to borrow vast sums of money, purchase a company with it, and then simply pass that debt along to the people who do the company’s work and make its products, by stripping their jobs so you can…

“On May 30, 1922, the Cubs won the opening game of a day/night doubleheader against the Cardinals and one of their outfielders, Max Flack, went home to grab lunch (he lived three blocks from Wrigley). He returned to the Cubs clubhouse for the evening game to find out he’d been traded to the Cardinals for one of their…

Friendly reminder that the guy running Singer was one of the best...wait for it...singers of the ‘90s-’00s, Rob Dickinson, from the band Catherine Wheel. Here’s probably their best known song, Black Metallic, which everyone thought was a typically strange and vague emo/showgazey love/lust ballad until he eventually…

Who cares. The only real mistake here was he never thought, as an adult and pro athlete, to go delete that stuff.

he attempted to walk past the staff, but was taken to the ground

Re: being a famous baseball player. I think part of it is the game, whether seeing it live or on TV, just feels so impersonal. I feel like, more than any other sport, the fan is distant from the player and the action. Maybe it’s the slow pace, the distance of the camera/seat from the action, the “unwritten rules” and…

I have a tough time seeing the franchise tag 1 year deals as these horrible injustices

over the past 20 years (going newer to older), the Orioles have ranked the following in spending: 14, 10, 15, 17, 15, 15, 19, 18, 16, 23, 22, 10, 15, 13, 20, 13, 16, 12, 4, 4, 1

Yes, a 15.8% chance...

Shit I had no idea Denver was hit like that: that’s always been my “cheap place to live that I wouldn’t hate” I compared against SF :) Guess I gotta find another one...when is tech blowing up Minneapolis? 

I live in SF, downtown, smack between between fancy and fucked. Living here is cheap as shit, it’s the moving into here right now that’s hard. My rent is about 2/3 what it would cost to move into my unit if I moved out. Things are a little more expensive overall, groceries and bar tabs and all, and taxes (which I’m…
