DEADBEAT DAD BEAT DEAD

[smattering of applause]

How many of you are familiar with the concept of a "tontine"?

We're hoping that Taijuan Walker will be ready for the big show, that Hisashi Iwakuma continues his All-Star/Cy Young 2013 ways and Felix Hernandez keeps on being the best pitcher in the game any-given-5th-day. It would be crazy enough to work.

Never forget…

And they're getting together for a super bowl….

Nu-uh, you guys! Tom Brady plays with "graciousness"!

I'll use my Supper Bowl when I make a clam chowder or maybe a lentil soup.

This is terrible! What kinda game can you play with girls!?!

I also saw Bruce Hornsby with my parents' tickets when they couldn't go to that. He was less great.

I saw Jose Feliciano using my parents' tickets when they couldn't go. He was pretty great!

No, you're right, it was basically a busted move for the Bucks (especially since GP bounced almost instantly); I just really liked watching Desmond play. He was always great in the Dunk Contests but he would pull off some crazy stuff in-game, too. Dude could fly.

Concerts You've Gone to With Your Parents

I could back the addition of a "pA.V.ementClub" corner to the Music section.

Yea, we were glad to end up with Allen, but you did get the joy of watching Desmond Mason out of that deal too.

Here you go @Whovian … you're welcome!

I keep it in my hand.

Best Pavement jammy coda? I gotta go with "J vs. S"

From the man's obit: "One legendary story has [Summerall and Tom Brookshier] leading a horse into the lobby of the Plaza Hotel in New York."

We don't think we invented home field advantage, we just know we help provide it.
