All of what you’ve said is true, and I will also add: why is the name of God do restaurants serve a good meal and then totally drop the ball when the server drops off the check and disappears for 20 minutes? I have had so many good meals ruined by this (and so many servers have seen their tips go from good to okay as…

I think the shifter design is stupid and unintuitive. But there is still an indicator on the instrument panel that shows what gear you’re currently in, right?

They can join the 2007 Patriots as the greatest regular season teams of all time, as if that means anything.

There’s one thing that can take away the Warriors’ status as greatest team of all time: a loss on Sunday night. If that happens they're not even the greatest team of 2015-16.

The real question here is whose version of the story is correct. It’s totally reasonable for security to check someone’s credentials. The part about almost being arrested - well, did that actually happen and if so, why? Because security was racially profiling or because someone who thought they were above having to…

As a person with loyalties to the ‘90s Bulls it’s an easy call for me. I’m not a LeBron hater and I think you can give him his due while still believing Jordan was even better. The 73-9 Warriors present a bigger problem since if they win the championship, then they have beaten the Bulls by at least one important…

I think it’s overstating things to say it’s definitely in his long-term interest to sit out. If he plays in 2016 he earns over $14 million fully guaranteed. Yes, he risks injury but if he performs at roughly his previous level and does not suffer catastrophic injury, he will either get a huge contract next year or be…

Yeah, the NHL is definitely the league where bad contracts are the most painful. Combine a salary cap, guaranteed contracts, and a sport where depth is a requirement because nobody’s staying on the ice the whole game, and it can cripple a team. (Cough cough Blackhawks for the next few years).

It would be different if I was just a mediocre player.

If you want to argue that Ichiro is subjectively a better hitter than Rose, or even want to make a hypothetical argument that had he been able to start his MLB career when he was young he would have broken Rose’s record, that’s fine.

You obviously work in a professional field where specific licenses and education are a requirement. I don’t doubt one bit of your experience but you are in the minority in the working world as a whole. And I’m talking about decent office jobs, not humanities majors working as waiters and bartenders.

I worked with an MBA who could not even follow basic instructions and was absolutely useless at anything requiring remotely analytical/critical thinking. I’m not arguing that the MBA *made* him dumb, but i would much rather work with a bright humanities major (and have) than a business guy like him.

I heard a really sad rumor that the White Sox traded for James Shields and he's pitching worse than the two guys they DFAed.

There is absolutely no reason for human umpires to be calling balls and strikes anymore.

The thing about credit scores is that most people who are at the point of declaring bankruptcy already have terrible scores due to late/missed payments. And bankruptcy will get you to the point of starting to rebuild that score faster than spending years trying to catch up if you really can’t.

This times 1000, plus the reminder that Vick also personally killed dogs in in a vicious and cruel manner. Not that being okay with watching dogfights isn't terrible enough, but what he did went way beyond that even.

I don’t know how much stock you can put into someone apologizing for a pattern of truly horrific and psychopathic acts. (Would it help anybody at all if Jerry Sandusky apologized?) What Vick himself did to dozens of dogs went way beyond simply participating in dogfighting or bankrolling it, and it was the opposite of…

Man, fuck Jameis Winston, fuck this author, and fuck Louis Murphy for playing the race card. Manziel wasn’t accused of beating a woman until he was already basically out of the league and probably never coming back. Not only has there been plenty of media coverage about his transgressions but at this point he’s…

There’s nothing wrong with extra innings. They liven up an otherwise probably unmemorable regular season game. The really long ones are especially exciting once teams run out of pitchers. And the home team having a chance to score in the bottom of the inning after giving up run(s) in the top is a feature, not a big.

The problem is that, as an individual, I’m really not that scared of somebody compromising my credit card number or whatever. It’s a minor inconvenience. (Obviously, in the aggregate it drives costs up for everyone). What’s terrifying is the prospect of someone opening new accounts in my name, and I don’t see how…
