Other ways in which this investigation was awful:

If I'm paying to go to the Series, it means I want to go to the Series. The way I look at it, I'm going to Game 1 and saved pretty 100% on the price, so I've already profited. Have my cake and eat it too.

Will qualify myself as a Pats fan to start, but let's be honest: If the Jets defense doesn't completely shut the Pats down in the second half, none of this matters. I was pissed about it at first, but then I thought about how the Patriots were horrible in the second half and overtime, especially allowing Ivory to run…

I realize this doesn't mean much to non-Sox fans, but I assure you, if it were any other team, the worst-to-first storyline would actually be pretty compelling. This is a team that was built to be not-loathsome, not with any real expectations to contend for... anything. Pretend they're another team and it's actually…

fettuccine + pink vodka sauce + crumbled, slightly chewy thick-cut bacon.

Agree to disagree. I've had some great pasta dishes with lardons - large fried cubes of bacon. It's crispy, crunchy, and porky.

I think this graph represents interest (i.e. people trying it for the first time), not total popularity. The perpetually empty Sriracha bottle in the work cafeteria says its still popular.

Steak fries are tricky because too many places Fuck them up, a good streak fry is crispy on the outside and fluffy goodness inside. But ridden they are soggy or uncooked pieces of starch.

Your butt. Hurt, it is.

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare him to other players in the same situation rather than compare him to himself? 'Is everyone as consistent as Ortiz in big situations?' seems to be a better measure of whether he is "clutch." Being able to maintain your own personal mean averages might actually be a really hard…

I think it should be legal to shoot people who wear visors.

I want to know what filth he was reading that put these kinds of demented ideas in his head.

Even better: roast big chunks of cauliflower. After washing it, cut into half or 3/4 inch slices, all the way across. Put on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, salt it, maybe some paprika. Roast on 400ish until done. If you take it out early, it's lovely and crunchy. If you leave it in longer it caramelizes. Makes…
