So in other words, it's a Ponzi scheme.

I propose Deadspin posters agree upon a new name for the Washington NFL team independently, and not only use it exclusively, but convince the moderators to filter for "Redskins" and replace it with the new name throughout the site.

Cheers.

How bad do you have to suck for no one to want the naming rights for your stadium?

Damn shame. It's a pretty ballpark. At least they don't have whole sections of obstructed views like New Yankee Stadium. The Batter's Eye Cafe blocks half the outfield in the adjoining sections of bleachers, and for that you still pay through the nose for a ticket.

I'd speculate on how long it will take the Florida DMV to withdraw this plate, but they probably have to get someone to complain first.

I was making a feeble attempt at a joke. If you were offended by it (or even if you were not), I humbly apologize.

No, it just means your alma mater is too insignificant to rate a mention. I was kind of surprised to see mine (SUNYIT Wildcats) myself.

I read at Bleed Cubbie Blue awhile back that attendance at the game where Ernie Banks hit his 500th home run was around 3200. Of course, that was a weekday game in the era where they only played day baseball at Wrigley Field.

Imagine how you must feel if you aren't good enough to be traded.

Grandpa had a '71. That sucker was a huge pile of win smothered in awesome sauce. I got to drive it twice - once in about 1980, when the thing about got away from me the first time I hit the gas and unleashed all those gobs and gobs of pure Detroit horsepower. The second time was about ten years later when Grandma…

When I was ten, home computers barely existed. There was the TRS-80, a few Heath kits, and that was about it. I had one neighbor who had a Trash-80 when I was about 14 and I would play blackjack on it while babysitting their kid and generally being a bad influence on same.

Well, they did have that baseball team nobody liked, so there's that.

Yeah, only the UN gets to define what a "second-tier nation" is.

Also easy to deal with. Check to see whether the wrong codes are the same (some old geezer mistaking his car for yours) or different (some thief brute-forcing your car's password). You gotta think like a computer guy. Keep 'em coming; we'll have this new system design down, and then we can all get rich selling it…

Coffee grounds are particularly good for acid-loving plants, like azaleas or blueberries!

You would think key transponders would have a "three-strikes-and-you're out" algorithm (usually implemented in about five lines of code in your choice of language) to very easily thwart these devices. Inserting the actual key (or waiting ten minutes) would reset the invalid logon count to zero. So easy, yet beyond…

That is, the New Coke version of Star Trek. Yuck.

I think it would take some serious loan-shark interest rates on some other loan to get me to forego the company match on my 401K. That's free money you shouldn't leave on the table.
