Watch the last 20 lugers from the men’s singles first run on one of the NBC on demand streams. Off hand guess was that about 30% of them were airborne at least once on the track, 2 hit walls on their STARTS, and several times I felt like I was about to see someone die.

Like Karmanos EVER cared about the success of that team. He decided they’d never get butts in seats, and then came up with every way to ensure that the Whale could never get the attendance numbers he dreamed up as being necessary to keep the team in Hartford.

Dude wanted his rent free, state of the art arena to line…

Fuck Peter Karmonos with the wide end of a trumpet while someone blast Brass Bonanza from the other end.

Let me introduce you to the Pittsburgh Pirates of the aughts...

The answer is yes.

Scientists don’t yet know if humans can travel outside of the protection of the Earth’s magnetosphere.

We’re a LONG way from colonization.

We’re only 15 years removed from NFL coaches realizing that, yeah, players to be allowed adequate water breaks during summer practices, so, forgive my lack of shock at the flippant attitude.

That’s what I want - Team Sky spending $3 million on chemists openly to show that really all you need for a successful World Tour team is to pay every rider on the squad like they are the leader, monitor every pedal stroke made with constant admonitions for adjustment, and to out chemically engineer the field.

If I…

They probably all graduated from OU and CU. You know, the Universities of Oklahoma and Colorado.

I just love that Drew went with my last name, which means “One who lives in a hovel” as his perfect hyphenated WASP cookie baker.

This must have physically pained you to post.

It is delicious to me.

How many pro-ready college QB’s exist? Maybe 2 per year?

I blame the spread offense in college.

Geno can’t throw the ball across the field, 10 yards down field. This will be horrifying.

I saw Geno Smith play QB at my first ever live NFL game. The field seemed pretty huge to me in person, but I was amazed to watch him struggle to heave the ball from outside the left hash to the opposite sideline, 10 yards downfield. And those passes were still inaccurate.

What I’m saying is, I’m a Giants fan, and I…

IBM quietly raises a finger as if to speak, thinks better of it, and backs away silently.

I see a little three-striped logo on the corner of his jersey that may be making Bill Self a little bit nervous about this particular car, methinks...

To celebrate our engagement, a friend of my now-wife’s gave us that Maryland cutting board. Somehow, I did not throw the thing out the window, but instead hung it on our wall so we could be proud Marylanders or something. Every few weeks, it somehow ends up tilted. I dutifully tilt it back each time. This is a good…

Counterpoint: Racking up 90 wins in the contemporary NL East does not make one an MLB contender.

US Soccer won’t hire a foreigner because they will all say the same thing as Jurgen - MLS and the development levels are not built to create a good international team.

There is no way this could be true for the women - the only viable professional league that pays is in Sweden.

I love that this piece basically advocates for the hiring of Jurgen Klinsmann and the implementation of his vision for the US national system.

It’s almost as if Klinsmann had the right thrust of it all, and the traditional apparatus of US soccer didn’t like it. (Yes, Klinsmann had some problems, but he lost the…
