I hate the NFL and its mafia-like business model as much as the next guy. But hosting a Super Bowl, it’s well known, costs a shit ton in expenses that aren’t directly recoverable. The reimbursement is more indirect, in that the Super Bowl will bring in many more millions in revenues particularly in the hospitality…

I have just a COUPLE things I want, but don’t need that are still sort of tugging at me. So I’m trying to keep in mind that no matter what stuff I buy, getting my student loans paid off will feel like summiting a mountain compared to the new work out shoes I want.

Oh man, that would be brutal. Hang in there!

I think that’s what this looks like going forward, for me. The things I bought for myself, for the most part, were necessary for the new gig as well. I’ve already put the kibosh on some really silly stuff (almost bought a new TV and a new Computer, almost ponied up for an NFL trip to England) but, I’ve managed to talk…

I’m so with you. In October I hit a career jackpot that nearly doubled my paycheck to paycheck salary I was making. I get so anxious having a balance in my account after the bills are all paid. I immediately went and bumped every monthly bill payment up a notch or two so I can get out of debt ASAP. My pep talk to…

I grew up in Indiana, I remember it was the only Root Beer my dad ever kept around. Had not seen it in a while. I guess its a Midwest thing.

I had a pilot buddy that set out to build a helicopter until we had an intervention with him. I feel like this is slightly worse.

Turns out, some places frequently get some rain or sleet before they get a dusting to a covering of snow. Which is a Shakespearian level of tragedy for wiper blades. Wiper blades in general, of late, seem to be destroyed by a little rain, much less being covered in ice.

I have a hard time keeping up with NBA rule changes. But isn’t that a technical foul?

Wait, is Dad’s not still a thing? Or just not available in the NE?

Are you suggesting Pitt and ‘Cuse are historically better than Georgetown and UConn? Louisville I’ll give an edge to, they did a lot of damage in a short time in the Big East. But the others, not so much, Pitt & Nova don’t even belong in this conversation.

Keep your back straight and your shoulders back.

7 am? You lucky SOB, we were on the water by 5, after a jog to the boathouse and erg warmups.

I rowed in college and every time I go to the gym and see someone on the erg flailing themselves to a lengthy chiropractor visit, I am torn between trying to help them and not being some annoying dude-bro gym goer commenting on their form. The other day there was a guy who was pulling the handle over his head on the…

My parents have a big ass toaster that has one of these sorts of deals built into it. Might be AB approved!

That depends on how the got their star rankings. If they got them from, say, Triple A, those starts are just sort of arbitrarily hung on a hotel by AAA’s propriety rating system. Hotels themselves base the stars on amenities. So you can kind of base-line the idea like this... room with a bed is 1-star, a room with a…

Maybe he’ll retire so he can play for a different team.

Go press down the edges of a piece of scotch tape to something flat and smooth and heat it up, or cool it way down, then see how easy it is to peel off. It does NOT come off cleanly.

Do NOT tape shit to the air register. That’s definitely a dick move to make your housekeeper have to spend a bunch of time scraping that crap off of there.

Nashville + Ice =
