Okay, you laugh, but before my parents moved from Scotland to Canada they had an insurance agent who pronounced his last name “sid-dee-boh-TAM”. His last name was spelled “Sidebottom”.

Saints fan here. I’m a transplant, but my wife is a lifelong Saints fan. She served Pederson in a store where she worked in Monroe, LA when he was with NLU (now ULM). She said that he was just the nicest person, polite, with no egotism in spite of being a star quarterback. A truly decent guy. We both hated that the…

I don’t disagree with the article, but I have to chuckle at the timing of it, as it came out the same day Ovechkin was stymied by a masterful goaltending performance by the Stars’ Anton Khudobin, and the stars won in overtime with Seguin’s second goal of the night.

Trump is a vile human being. This is not just a disagreement with his “mainstream policies”.

And now it’s come out that Benn and Sequin hadn’t even talked to Lites since the end of last season. He didn’t call them or anything, he just let into them in the media without having the guts to tell it to their faces.

Excellent article! I’m sorry you couldn’t enjoy the race. How did they decide the order of the cars on the grid? Was it random? Or did some people get preferential treatment? And were there many other female drivers there? Because the misogynistic undercurrent was thick enough to slice.

This man knows how to father. No, I take that back, he knows how to dad.

I’m going to go with one that the non-Board Game Geek crowd will find obscure: Ethnos. Ethnos has a couple of knocks against it right off the bat. The name is bland, at best. The board looks... okay. It works. The token color choice was... well, odd and uninspiring. The theme — a fantasy world with multiple races…

That was a bad game. Neither team played particularly well, with stupid penalties and anemic offenses on both sides. But the officiating sucked, from bad spots to several missed calls.

As a Saints fan, this was easily the worst game I’ve seen this year, and the worst the Saints played this year. I think Dallas…

My physics is extremely rusty (like 35 years rusty), but I found reference to cockpit integrity testing where a 1.8 kg mass was shot at a military cockpit at 600 km/hr, and if I did the math right that is roughly equivalent to 45 kg at 120 km/hr, or around 100 lbs at 75 mph. Formula 1 halos were tested at 20 kg…

I’m afraid that you are probably right. If survivors were rushed to hospital, that fact would have been reported.

That would have been my wife (life long Saints fan). I swear she put a hex on Tucker when I wasn’t watching. I picked up my phone, as I assumed we were going to overtime, only to hear her cackle maniacally beside me. Seriously, that was some Margaret Hamilton level witch-noise emanating from the other side of the…

Over 4 games, that’s almost exactly a mile and a half.

Go north of the English border and ask him about Partick Thistle, Greenock Morton, and Queen of the South.

It is worth reading the last one about the kid in the classroom. It’s the only one that had me cackling like a madman. We’ve all been that kid.

2002 Dodge Neon. Not only was there nothing the least bit distinguishable about it in the looks department, the transmission gave out in three years. Fortunately it was still covered by the warranty, so we got it fixed and bought a Corolla instead. We got rid of the Corolla last year, and it was still running fine. I…

My wife was commenting on that today. She was having flashbacks to the days when the only people watching the Saints were my wife, her father, and a couple of guys with bags on their heads.

As a victim of bullying as a kid, I don’t approve of physical violence, even as retaliation for a prank. In this case? Yeah, I’m good. He deserved it. You probably should have kicked him, too.

They need to post about the second Saints’ penalty. Davenport grabs the quarterback with one arm and lands beside him, and got “roughing the passer”. It looks like he tried his damnedest to avoid the penalty. This is the true poster boy for how stupid the rule is.

The blues are still required.
