The Murph also includes a one-mile run immediately before the exercises mentioned and then again immediate after. I think that shoes are nice for running and also that bare feet in the gym is gross, but what do I know.

I like hot babes and I don’t mind sexy men, but I prefer dorky 30-somethings doing creative things in a gravity-less plane.

Normally, I’d be a little critical where a point guard is essentially taking rebounds from his bigs. You don’t see it in the videos, but Westbrook definitely gets some easy defensive rebounds that would normally go to Adams or Kanter. But watching him immediately start the break is thrilling, and it’s pretty effective…

Oh look, it’s the weekly Deadspin take-down of Bill Simmons and corresponding echo-chamber comment section.

Simmons has his issues, but Deadspin’s axe-grinding obsession with him baffles me.

I’m so there for all boxer love (irrational or not). In that vein, check out this British commercial: http://www.itv.com/news/2016-11-10/john-lewis-unveils-its-1m-christmas-advert-featuring-buster-the-bouncing-boxer/

And then watch this youtube:

Breathing is good, but I prefer dog therapy. Specifically, having my unbelievably sweet little boxer girl snuggled next to me with her head on my lap. Her steady breathing and warm fuzziness is canine Xanax.

That’s an amazing photo.

Well said! Politically and socially, I agree with the vast majority of Jez opinions. But at the same time, I often find myself horrified at the judgy cynicism here. It’s kind of like progressive puritanism.

It’s like Simmons is the villain in a shitty morality play written and produced by Deadspin. “Here’s a clip of Simmons walking down the street and offering orthodox opinions on baseball. What an ass! Everybody boo him!”

See, whether she was evil, misunderstood, or just plain complicated, she certainly seemed to have an interesting life and I want to know more.

So, wow, I had never heard of Wallis Simpson before. Super interesting wiki read.

I just got to the episode where Jared really does fuck (poor Dinesh), which makes this gif even funnier. Silicon Valley seems to be flying under the radar for such a great show. (Granted, it’s very male-driven.)

I agree with that. They are similar, and I like them both for many of the same reasons. That said, I sometimes think Deadspin goes a little too far out of its way to publish negative articles about Simmons. Sure, Simmons has his faults and is fair game for fair criticism, but Deadspin seems to go after him for every…

Deadspin would never be associated with a media entity that would publish an ill-advised item. Never!

After a long, grimy day, a cold beer in the shower is pretty great.

Thank you for this. It was hard reading. We lost an 8-year-old boxer (Genji) to brain cancer over four years ago and it still tears me apart to think about his last six months. Anyhow, I’ve been thinking about getting pet insurance for our 3-year-old boxer, Penny. Your article convinced me. My condolences for your…

If he’s on blood thinners, the danger of a stroke is minimal. The greater danger is that the blood thinners make him something like a hemophiliac. Cuts and bruises aren’t a huge deal, but internal injuries like concussions are much more dangerous.

Anyhow, I say let Bosh apply his own health-risk analysis. And I say…

She certainly isn’t perfect and is fair game for reasonable criticism. That said, Gross has done a huge number of interviews over her long career that have required her to traverse political/personal/sexual minefields that lesser interviewers would avoid altogether out of fear. I think she generally does so…

My own rules: (1) Call people whatever they want to be called. (2) Don’t complain when people want to be called something other than what you’ve previously called them. (3) But don’t be too judgmental about folks who <<unknowingly>> use the wrong term.

Looks awesome. But for those of us in the mountains, 4WD would provide more than a little benefit. (I understand how it would complicate the design though.)
