Excellent call on the stadium issue, Drew...Calgary is about to elect a new mayor and (surprise!) the hot-button issue in the public eye is a new arena for the Flames. Our incumbent mayor (who is mostly well-liked across a large portion of the city for several reasons)is taking flak for not simply capitulating to the…

Yeah that’s a cool ass movie. The knuckleball movie about Wakefield and my man R.A. Dickey is awesome too.

That’s actually not entirely true...there’s a study vaguely along those lines in “The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs” where the author tackles the “Would the Babe be able to deal with modern pitching” question, and by the looks of it, it’s actually not as wildly unbalanced as I would have thought. Not an exact…

First ballot hall of fame COTD

While I see your point, I find it awfully hard to believe that for the rest of your life, you will never watch a single video on YT. And while it’s obviously unacceptable to be using language like that on a widely-watched channel, people are right to be concerned about how it affects their bottom line...it doesn’t…

I’ll see your Cannibal Corpse and raise you a Morrissey song titles:

Don’t ever stop what it is that made you think to do this.

Can confirm re: soccer baseball. Haven’t heard the term in a long time but it was definitely called that when I was a kid in S. Ontario.

Parkour is the rollerblading of the 2000s...or more correctly it would be, except rollerblading was cool for a while.

Great article, had no idea one guy had shot so many of those great shots. Very cool.

You’re right, except for the fact that the far better Olympics (the ones held in the winter) don’t work in any of those towns.

Another win for the family values party

I think the point he was trying to make was that marinades are essentially just sauces, and that letting something sit in a bath of whatever for hours doesn’t do much more than brushing it on 5 mins before. In my experience, that’s been the case as well most of the time. Absolutely love a great sauce of course, but I…

*turns on the Pet Shop Boys*

Well to be fair I only said they’re *mostly* useless, which they are. If you’ve got something with a ton of surface area, such as sliced chicken or steak that you’re gonna stir-fry, then sure, but then that’s not grilling. Fish can work pretty good but even then it’s not real dramatic unless you put some good sized…

Had that exact experience at Wrigley once. Why do they put a big ketchup thing so close to the concessions? No one told me of the no-ketchup rule. Also now I really want a hot dog.

To the BBQ guy: the best thing I’ve ever done to up my grill game is read like every article on amazingribs.com (it’s not just ribs, it’s everything). Really well researched, and they use actual science and experimentation to bust all the dumb myths and old wive’s tales about BBQ, including (sorry Drew) bringing your…

Haven’t even played it yet and I wanna give this game like 100 stars on Steam just for existing. I feel like I’ve been waiting a long time for something like this.

60 bucks is a bunch to pay for a growler, but I’ll be damned if this one might actually be worth it. Very cool design, and definitely if you’re a person that uses one regularly, that is a cool piece of kit.

Can’t let this one go by:
