This is my concern. I’d hate to have a hard inquiry on my report just to get a new phone. I’d rather pay outright.

I assume this is subject to a credit check, but would it appear on my credit report as a loan? My credit score is fine and I’d pay each month, but having another inquiry on my report isn’t something I’m desiring, even though I am very interested in this program.

Congrats to Bill Simmons for being the first fan to defend his team on the internet.

I need this movie to happen.

Welcome to First Takespin where we will discuss Bill Simmons for the 79th day in a row.

I think it’s just Kelly Olynyk is not a very good basketball player whose technique is obviously very poor. I don’t think it was intentional. I just think it’s what happens when a not-good basketball player screws something up.

Not for nothing, but this was seconds before the injury. I’m not saying Olynyk’s play was good, but it backs up his claim that guys lock arms all the time in the NBA.

Why not an MLS Live sub and a VPN to make it look like you're coming from out of the Sounders area? I feel like it would be much less expensive that way.

The Bruins confuse me this season, but that makes me glad Chiarelli didn't do something rash at the deadline. Just make it in and hope everything comes together.

They're chasing the Caps too. 7 pts off but 2 games in hand. So feel free to enjoy.

I think the guy did a great job disguising his hands and Costa has a reputation so I understand the no call. However, diving and selling a call aren't the same thing. If he had gone down with no contact, that's a dive. Going down on legitimate contact is selling. I'm OK with the latter. If he had won the penalty, he…

Two handed shove into the side is not a foul? I'm not Chelsea (or EPL for that matter) fan, but that foul is as clear as day.

Saying "you cool" and turning on the location was absolutely an invitation. "You cool?" NEVER is meant literally in that situation. Badu is not to be trifled with and Azalea Banks is hell-bent on pissing away every ounce of goodwill she's ever earned with this trifling nonsense.

I'm pretty sure every single UConn alum has that same pit in the stomach feeling on this one. I did the same thing.

That's only certain parts of the state and only psychopaths enjoy them. The rest of us enjoy our burgers the good old fashioned way, on a grill from a place of questionable repute.

If the Internet had a commercial, that would be its tagline.

Those peppermint bark cups are expensively delicious. They gave out samples at the mall last week and I had about 5.

I ate hot pockets a lot as a kid (latch-key kid and all) and as an adult upon eating them again I've come to the conclusion that they are not tasty in the slightest. When you can make a superior product in the oven (not just a bagel pizza, but a French bread pizza or even a regular pizza) with a little extra effort,…

Hot Pockets are filled with molten diarrhea and the grade F meat Bart and Lisa Simpson ate at lunch.

Hot Pockets are trash. Pizza bagels are not trash. Please show your work.
