“Harden’s bad defense makes the game better for everyone but Rockets fans, by enabling more baskets.”

Ah, I forgot about commuting time. I still personally wouldn’t want to listen to a podcast if I had a commute (music for me while driving, thanks). But I see how it makes sense for some people. I’d at least prefer podcasts over the two alternatives you mentioned (morning talk radio or SiriusXM).

I think implicit in “I don’t get podcasts” is an aversion to the type of content that they deliver. In this case, almost all the popular podcasts I’m familiar with are either talk shows (guests come on and talk with the host) or something where a story is told (either fictional or non).

To answer my own question ... 5 of the 7 teams immediately below them in the MOV list won the title.

That is eighth best all-time, and of the seven teams better, six won the NBA championship.

In other words, this is false?:

It was just you, and it was not cool.

Everyone's so quick to assume it's porn. Couldn't it be some poor soul screaming in agony as they (justifiably) take their own life in order to prevent themselves from watching any more regular season hockey action?

Same — we drank a bit, but not the whole glass.

Try popping it in the freezer until it's slushy. I'm usually not a fan of gimmicks like that, but I tell you what, that is great on a hot day, or for dessert.

At my wedding ceremony this fall, instead of mixing sand in a single jar, or lighting a unity candle, my wife and I poured a unity beer. She's Canadian, so she poured La Fin Du Monde. I'm from Kansas, and poured Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat.
