Actually with the commercials they have been having on lately about how safe they are, and the fact that companies work to specifically prevent this kind of thing after a collision, I think he was owed at least a good explanation as to what happened after a relatively minor collision, and what they will do to prevent…

Massive? Far from it. And any impact of any actual size should be enough to trip the inertia switch.

Per State Farm’s estimates, there are over 1.2 million deer hit by cars each year... yet fires after these collisions are extremely rare.

You don’t really get how probability works, do you?

A more interesting question is, regardless of outcome, how many Finals in a row do you think will be Warriors-Cavs?

I refuse to ever purchase a house where there is a HOA. Zoned ‘rural residential’ now, so if you complain about my lawn not being mowed I will just put a cow on it.

Fun Fact: HOAs do not significantly impact home value and, over time, cause home values to decrease because of negative activities and perception of long-tenured HOAs (i.e. the HOAs tend to become nasty payback machines). There’s actually data showing that people are searching for homes that are not in HOA/covenant…

Seriously.

Except that 60 mph impact against a smaller, lighter object, is significantly different that a 60mph impact the way you’re thinking about it.

That deer weighs about 5% what the WRX does. If you assume a perfectly inelastic collision, then the energy absorbed in the crash is about the same as the WRX would experience in…

I’d argue that no car should burst into flames from hitting a deer at those speeds - the damage, while expensive, should never have been able to cause a fire.

People often get in worse accidents than that and do not have the car catch fire. What if the deer had somehow caused him to be pinned in the automobile?

When the officer asked Tiger where he was coming from he probably should have come up with something a little more believable than golfing.

Meanwhile reason number 37,598 why Indiana should be cut free and launched into the Sun: NBC here is showing some Indy 500 show instead of the game.

I am shocked, shocked I say!, that a profanity was uttered in a hockey locker room. Of all places! What’s this fucking world coming to?

Deford was, for me, one of the few (sports) writers who could wax nostalgic about sports of the past and yet not get lost in it.

You’d think he’d know not to drive on holiday weekends by now.

It sickens me to see such a solemn holiday cheapened to sell - oh

I am a Cubs fan and Scott Boras can get tae fuck. Arrieta hasn’t been the same pitcher since the All-Star game last year, and it’s noticeable. It certainly feels more like he’s reverting to the mean of his years in Baltimore after two great (well, one and a half) seasons in Chicago. He sure as hell wasn’t elite in the…

He still hangs out with his best friend, Dave.

C’mon guys. What reason would Boras have to be biased here?

He’s not as good as he once was, but he’s as good once as he ever was. The problem is that neither he nor any other team knows when that once actually is.
