Really great work here by WFAA on actually looking into and reporting out the agreement. So many local news outlets are usually just cheerleaders for stadium deals.

Totally different series if Hassan Whiteside, the league leader in blocks, gets to play. And the Heat looked like a fresh pack of razors early on. But you keep peeing up into that breeze, yo.

My favorite favorite cookbooks are the ones from America’s Test Kitchen! They tell you what to do and what not to do (that is, what they tried that didn’t work)! Perfect for someone like me who sees recipes as guidelines.

I had to stop buying cookbooks for the very reason listed above. They were tabletop books, not usable at all. Granted, they were great to read, but Mario Batali’s book was so pretty I didn’t want to get it near food. Alton Brown and any of Steven Raichlen’s BBQ books were interesting and functional. Anymore, it is…

I’d like to champion French Cooking in 10 Minutes as by far the friendliest cookbook I have ever read. It is a little dated (originally written in 1930, so no microwaves here) and of course the dishes are on the simple side, given the time constraint. The author was a French chemist, rather than a chef, which also…

The answer is different if you are 22, 27, 32, or 37. And as the article alludes to - don’t focus on one expense, but do a monthly budget of all of your expenses with an estimated inclusion for entertainment/travel expenses and an emergency fund if you don’t have family or someone else to step up for you in those…

Lol ok mr Rockefeller

I know someone who did cocaine with Stevie one night in the 90s.

Good Kinja.

A studio that charges a daily rate of $7 will offer a monthly rate of $50-$60. As luxeries go, that’s certainly affordable for something that offers so many benefits. Obviously for many, their budget is stretched too thin already and that sucks. But for many others, they blow $50 a week on far worse things than yoga.…

You sound like me. As I get older, recovery from excercise is a bitch, and nagging injuries seem to always be there. So I recently took up yoga, hot yoga. Only 7 classes in, but I’m starting to see it’s point. I do a lot of running and I honestly think the yoga is helping me feel looser and have less aches and pains.…

For truly affordable yoga, check out your local (if you’re lucky) community college. 2-3 sessions per week runs me (YMMV) $80/semester. Beginner, intermediate and advanced classes are offered. Plus, you get to say you’re ‘going back to school’.

I’m about 5’10” and 240 and have been doing yoga for the last couple of months. It’s really not that crazy. Obviously, I can’t do headstands or handstands like some (though most beginners can’t anyways) but I can do every single pose to at least 90%.

I think a beginner class will work for anyone. I did one recently, and for most of the poses the instructor gave modifications if you’re having trouble. For example, if you can’t do a plank, feel free to put your knees down. The idea is to learn the poses and work your way up to them if you don’t get them right away.

I’ve looked up to Tommy Craggs for many years. When he snuck into an ESPN meeting for a Deadspin story in 2011, I thought it was the coolest thing anyone had ever done. This is because I’m a wide-eyed dipshit who thinks about journalism way too much. My first week as a student at Northwestern, I told my professor my…

I don’t even know what to say; Craggs has a unique gift for figuring out what people can or should or want to be and guiding them toward being just that while taking it as a given that they’re there already. He did it for me and it changed my career and my life. I’d taken it as a given that we’d be working together as…

I’m heartbroken, too.

I, too, have this job because of Tommy. More broadly, I have my faith in writing, in editing, in journalism as a whole as something still worth doing in 2015 because of Tommy. He’s the best, and smartest, and sharpest, and angriest writer I know. I’m heartbroken that I’ll no longer get to work alongside him, but…
