What do you mean by “make it”? I probably wouldn’t die until it came time to walk on that tube thingy. But I’d obviously be severely injured on the initial jump.

If you think this makes Hekker an interesting punter (and I agree!), then then you’ll find this article fascinating as hell and have to admit there is a third interesting punter: http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/191948/sam-koch-has-changed-the-punting-game-and-almost-no-one-noticed

You could have posted the “all better” picture as the “fucked up” picture, and I wouldn’t have thought twice. Fuck man.

The fix doesn’t quite do it though. There’s two levels of things going on. If the court grants a TRO, it then has two weeks to decide if it’s going to grant the injunction. So if it grants the TRO, that’s no guarantee he plays the rest of the season. It likely means he gets two more games. Now, in general, the…

Better get comfortable with it because assuming you are employed at will your employer can absolutely do that.

Yup. Unless the terms of his contract say the League can’t force him to answer questions that might be incriminating, there’s no difference here in the nature of the charges. It might make more sense for him to refuse to cooperate, but it doesn’t exempt him from discipline.

To the extent law enforcement actually asks your employer to conduct this investigation on its behalf, it is possible (depends on the exact facts) that your employer is acting as an agent of the police and, since you have not been Mirandized, anything you say would be inadmissible.

Yeah, the league needs to figure out something special for RBs. Maybe a side salary cap, or perhaps a separate pool of bonus money, like the one they disburse to rookies who play a lot. It just doesn’t work. It’s the most exposed position on the field, and for that reason it’s one of the least well compensated…

I am not from Texas. I am just from a place where I learned math, including concepts like “13 games is not a good sample size.” Playing at your opponent’s stadium is a disadvantage.

Right, my point is that home field advantage exists independently of the batting-last advantage. And therefore the Astros are better off playing the Rangers in Tampa, where neither team has a home-field advantage, than in Arlington, where the Rangers do.

Studies show that home field advantage is real across all sports (so not just in baseball where the order of who gets to hit is a built-in advantage). Astros would be a competitive disadvantage if they had to play this series at Texas. Better to play at a neutral site than road site.

They don’t need or rely on the staples to bring people in. Nobody goes to Whole Foods specifically for the staples. They just need the staples to at least be competitive. Lots of people specifically DON’T go to Whole Foods because the staples are (were?) too damn expensive comparatively. People don’t want to have…

Why wouldn’t I just take my ass to a Regal?

I’m less confident that this is true (not that I doubt she’s said it, just that she’s right).

Kenneth Dixon also had knee surgery and was declared out for the year weeks ago.

Cersei and Jaime are not going to have another offspring.

I would guess it’s as simple as an article that was already written and ready to publish when they got news of the cancellation, so they tried to shoehorn that tidbit in there and hope nobody would notice that it undermines half the piece.

The randomness of which house they target applies in both scenarios. Although my guess is there will soon be a cottage industry of thieves who start specifically targeting houses with smartlocks since they are so easy to break into without detection. But really, I have no way of answering your question. It’s an…

A) perhaps no one called the police because they recognized you as that guy who lives in that house. B) Just because they haven’t yet doesn’t mean they won’t. The question is how much risk you’re willing to assume when the penalty is imprisonment and a criminal record. As the risk of detection increases, the…

For a person who takes laziness to a new level, you sure do seem to have impressive advance-planning skills.
