Loss of consciousness isn't instantaneous. Though it's pretty clear from his reaction prior to the fall — a goofy grin in the wake of a sucker punch — that some damage had already been dealt.

CFB fans, arguably, get drunker pre-game but you don't often see stuff like this. I think it has more to do with the collegiate vibe and rare beer sales inside college stadia.

Because TV doesnt match the atmosphere of Centurylink. But that's team-specific, so.

All that tuition money spent to learn howto write sentences like "makes me puke" (nevermind the whole faulty logic thing throughout his letter). Anyway, does "cow-towing" have something to do with cattle transportation?

Exactly. Tailgating at an NFL game requires money (parking), food logistics, transportation logistics, storage logistics, etc.

Seattle has their downtown-adjacent NFL stadium (which always sells out) across the street from their MLB ballpark. It works thanks to mass transit and the immediate neighborhood being pretty blighted (urban/developed enough to have tons of surface street access; but no real incentive to go there except for games or…

You get them as a season package for the student price. For Michigan students, I think it comes out to about $45/game. Not really that expensive, and when you're living off of loans as an undergrad, $45 for a boozy Saturday marathon with all of your friends/alumni doesn't seem like such a bad deal, especially when…

He has built enough of a personal brand that he can go elsewhere and eyeballs will follow, but ESPN still owns all of the intellectual property Simmons developed there (Grantland, 30 for 30, etc.) and, in all likelihood, all of those Grantland writers (whom he hired) would still be under contract with ESPN presumably,…

Yeah, I wanted to research the name of this guy's "startup" to self-note never to invest/do business with him... and then I learned his "startup" is freight audit (http://www.vellodat.com/).

I guess when your "startup" is freight audit (and a website which barely functions: http://www.vellodat.com/), you'll do anything to cling to some notion of killing it.

I just bought 3 replacement brush heads for $30. They're supposed to be switched out at the 3 month mark, so it's really only $3.33/month. Totally worth it.

His podcast warns upfront that it contains mature language and that views expressed are his (not ESPN's).

On second thought, I think you're right — Virgin can certainly be blamed for not publicizing its power/USB outlets more (both are at the bottom of the console separating you and the seat next to you)... this was something I had to Google inflight as I couldn't find the info on any printed materials in the seat-back…

What? Virgin was the first (to my knowledge) to roll out universal outlet accessibility, the most inflight entertainment options, and wi-fi on its entire fleet.

The Swiftkey keyboard automatically changes back to the Apple keyboard in password fields. Not sure if this is Swiftkey's doing or Apple's, but just an FYI.

As a geography/cartography dork, this excites me to no end. Thanks for the recommendation!

Methinks you're being too hard on "libations" and (far) too soft on "m'lady."

I have that same tank and, despite it being a men's, it is really cut that low.

Touché.

James Brown was wonderful. However, one awkward part of the broadcast (that I assume CBS couldn't interdict) were the PPV commercials for the upcoming Mayweather fight.
