Watch the bounce/roll for the Denver punt. If he’d punted that from the back of his end zone, and it landed in the middle of the field without being caught, it would have gone out the back of the other end zone.

‘Best’ is subjective. This will get the most people asking to sit in it, wanting pictures, etc.

The pit bull and I drove 5,200 miles round-trip from Raleigh to Moab in a two-seater Honda CRZ. We slept in the hatch a few times, I lost my wallet in Tulsa and talked Bank of America into giving me a replacement debit card with no ID (pro tip: know your online banking password and security questions), and we had a…

It seems nobody considered the actual reason for this wrap: attention.

Close. Non-Athlete Regular People. I’m a coach at the college level & it’s what the athletes call normal students. It’s not an insult; they say it with envy, as in ‘Man, NARPs can just inhale a whole thing of Ben & Jerry’s’ or ‘NARPs get to sleep in every day’ etc.

NARPs should never eat like athletes, but this was a fun read as a reminder.

That’s a beauty!

It’s a quarter-century old. By any definition, it’s slow. It has no AC or power steering. And sometimes I walk out into my driveway at night just to look at it.

Excellent article. As I’m quoted in the point regarding ‘near post’ goals, let me expand briefly: the issue isn’t so much the ball beating the keeper at the near post; it’s that if the shot is coming from a relatively acute angle, then the keeper will be positioned close to the near post to begin with, and so he/she…

Well, he has to play Laver Cup, and I’m sure he’ll play Shanghai, but he really should shut it down as fast as possible after that. He’s done a great job coming to Australia rested and prepared the last two seasons, and won it both times. I’d think his team should be preparing him to focus on Australia and Wimbledon…

Who says they’re struggling? One of them has to lose every match. It’s very hot, so they comment on it (when asked). But they still play the match. It’s not like they’re keeling over and dying, or even quitting, or cramping. They just sweat a lot.

Sweat-wicking fabrics don’t really work past a certain humidity level. When the air is already saturated, there’s nowhere for the sweat to go.

These things are a godsend for people who work outside, like cattle rustlers or people who draw chalk outlines around cars, which come to think of it doesn’t sound like an actual job. Sometimes there’s no time for a traditional lunch. These guys don’t need to be refrigerated, and they do the job. Sure, I’d rather have…

That would be great - double the HP and obviously far more modern and reliable. I never really had engine problems with mine until it burned a valve, but it was hard to keep it in the ‘power band,’ and at highway speeds if you hit a long incline - I used to get passed by 18 wheelers.

I thought about buying another one in recent years, but the level-headed choice for me was a 2nd-Gen MR2, and it’s been great. I’d love to own an X1/9 again someday though.

The Fiat X1/9. In the 80s I was a dumb, exotic-obsessed college kid. It didn’t take long to figure out I wasn’t likely going to be able to afford a Countach, Pantera, or even a relatively modest Esprit. So what was small, agile, wedgey, mid-engined, *and* affordable? The X1/9. I got a metallic blue one with gold rims,…

Late to this, Josh, but as a former professional goalkeeper and a writer for places like Howler and When Saturday Comes, I’m happy to see it. I look forward to more.

That was me and I am sorry.

Love seeing dedicated and loving work like this, and longing for the day I have an actual garage. I rebuilt the suspension and did a ton of bodywork and a complete vinyl wrap of my MR2 all in my driveway, but the serious engine stuff really needs a garage.
