They’ve got racing series now for autonomous cars, a sport where literally no living beings compete whatsoever.

What?! This is real?! I thought it was a Nigerian prince level phishing scam! My friends and I were all having a laugh about what a silly scam it was just last night.

Judge: “And a 600 pound fine...”

Long ago, shortly after the Earth cooled, I accidentally got the “Tubthumper” CD by Chumbawamba from the Columbia Record Club. Too lazy to return it (that’s how Columbia Record Club sold 90% of their disks...), I had it sitting around unopened for a few years before finally putting it on and discovering it was…

In totally unrelated news, Tonya Harding has joined the Patriots coaching staff as a “special assistant.”

Look, debating the merits of UCF is fun and all, but the essential point is that you can’t have a sport where a team can go undefeated and not even get invited to the playoffs. That’s just a fundamental flaw in the system there.

I love going to the movies and it’s not uncommon for me to go multiple times a month. That said, I went to very few movies this year because the movies themselves just weren’t that good. They’re too long and too similar to each other. I love superheroes but I’ve developed serious superhero movie fatigue.

Again, it’s about setting the bar for success. This was a brand new start up league not college football where the teams have been playing for 100 years and have huge, established fanbases. The XFL was, literally, not ready for prime time.

My personal bugaboo in recent years have been the GMC ads where people shame their neighbors for having the audacity to spend money on presents for people they care about or holiday decorations when they could be spending $30 grand on a 40 ft long SUV for themselves. Behold your new God, inferior neighbor: The…

Did not know that! I stand corrected. But I don’t think they were doing it in 2001.

When people talk about the failure of the XFL, they tend to give NBC a free pass but they were at least as guilty as Vince of gross mismanagement by insisting that the games had be on in prime time on Saturday nights. Minor league football in prime time! Who thought that was a good idea? The NFL is the only league…

Yes, but the NFL desperately needed Gronk to play against the Steelers. Can’t have the talk of a signature game like that being about a star player missing due to suspension! If a nothing player on the Browns had done what Gronk did, he gets a lot stiffer penalty.

This is basically the same deal as putting Ferrari badges on your Fiero, right?

Too bad it’s so expensive because a SMEG toaster is a must for any Red Dwarf fans.

The most ridiculous part of this is that the change to the anniversary system is to combat the minor problem that people who sign up late in the month could get charged twice close together their very first time. So, you take someone who supports, say, 5 artists and now they get charged 5 times a month and get 5 times…

OK, but they did rename Russia as the Issian Federatic. So, that’s something.

Early morning flights are less likely to be delayed than those that happen in the afternoon or evening.

Hey, man, we also grabbed Sam Moll and held him three whole days before we lost him again. The Bucs are goin’ places!

You really should have mentioned that Moll was with the Pirates for a grand total of 3 days.

I assume from the still that this fellow’s tiny third hand is a parasitic twin and he is attempting to convince Magary to start the reactor and save Mars.
