For some reason, tacos have just never caught on as a gameday food. Wings, pizza and burgers/brats/other grilled meats seem to dominate that market. I assume the drop in guac is because people generally make their own to have chips and guac at gameday parties and such. Chinese getting a major bump surprised me…

As someone who has never served, I really appreciate this comment. I think it's very silly for people to get bent out of shape over whether or not he was following proper uniform procedure, whether he was listed as "retired" or "veteran", and so forth. These are incredibly insignificant things, and while I…

This is a pretty good list. Cherry is very clearly the best, and while I don't personally like pumpkin flavored foods, I don't begrudge it the #2 spot. I would bump Key Lime up slightly higher, though apple and mixed berry are also very solid

Your articles continue to be must-reads, Matt

I would just like to take a moment to point out that reported attendance figures are bullshit. Not just the inflated numbers from the university buying lots of tickets from itself, but the "real" numbers. I'm a fan/alumnus of a MAC school that isn't Eastern Michigan, and aside from the occasional home game against a…

Man, I thought my submission lacked subtlety. +1

Just look at how excited he is. This is the happiest he's been in 45 years

That's fantastic

This is some really short term thinking by the Rams

Without delving too deep into political science and sociology, right wing extremist groups are characterized in part by their opposition to outgroups, and especially immigrants, that challenge their group's dominance of the social hierarchy. But it's also important to distinguish "right wing" from "extremist right…

As a polling enthusiast, let me step in in defense of polls real quick. Polls are just numbers, they aren't inherently bad or good. What matters is how to ask questions, how to eliminate bias as best as you can, and for consumers of polls, to read them in a critical, open-minded and intellectually honest way. …

39% of retired NFL players said they wouldn't let their desk play the applesauce and god dangit Debbie would you keep that racket down I can't hear the toothpaste

I don't think that's the answer either. You have to differentiate between a couple people doing bad things and something more systemic. There are always going to be horrible asshole fans at any sporting event in the world, a team shouldn't be judged on that, but on how they respond to it. Unless it was really awful…

That seems like such an absurd justification though.

Well it hasn't really worked, has it? You have to have a multi-pronged approach. Make the team launch a good faith effort to get rid of racist fans while also creating direct incentives for the fans not to engage in that behavior. The only way to practically do that is to hit both of them where it hurts when they…

The easiest (and least realistic) solution would be to cut out commercial breaks every half inning and during every pitching change. I would love if they had two longer commercial breaks after the 3rd and 6th innings, and briefly went to a studio to show highlights from other games while the pitchers were warming up…

I think more likely, it would cause the club to hire more security to deal with these kinds of fans. A great gameday atmosphere can be a significant advantage in a close-fought Champions League match or title challenge. The key is going to be for the governing body (whether that's FIFA, UEFA, or the FA of an…
