I just assumed “be John Kruk” would have sufficed, but yeah, a little solo batting practice does sound about right.

I never knew this until I was in Mexico recently and yadda yadda yadda the doctor said bananas would help just as much as imodium but without all the weird fever sweats.

All I know about the e-sports is from headlines I skim on Deadspin, but I’m starting to think that gamers might not be the most tactful bunch of humans on the planet.

Man, San Diego really puts the ‘southern’ in ‘southern California’.

The Beav... actually... looks... kinda great here? In a closeted arms dealer from Texas kinda way, at least.

This crash sullys the good name of pilots capable of landing aircraft on New York waterways.

There’s plenty that’s wrong with Doug Ford, but dealing hash ain’t one of em.

To be fair, every second dude in Toronto between the ages of 20 and 35 has the exact same haircut and facial hair as FVV.

Vanilla City, baby!

He pulled the *exact* same move a couple weeks before against the Red Wings, too. It’s almost like... he’s a generational talent whose departure from Ottawa would literally kill me dead.

Thank you. Nary a peep about the massive online fan protest or The Rant that very well could have kept Karlsson a Senator (if only a few more months), but sure, let’s blame Ottawa and not the megalomaniacal owner who has no money and refuses to sell the team because of some misplaced sense of pride. All the guy has…

Strange, I thought he was France’s.

Nice little visual metaphor for the US at these Olympics so far, eh?

love to put my mushrooms in butter, plus a little bit of leftover white wine. that’s good mushrooms.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: basically every hockey coach actively handicaps their team by buying into outdated thinking about “veteran presence” and “compete levels”. Makes sense, given that most of them are washed-out third- or fourth-line grinders anyhow.

Ennnh, not really. The core’s the same, but Anunoby looks to be the steal of last year’s draft, VanVleet’s come out of nowhere to dominate in the second unit, and Siakam and Valanciunus have both taken big steps forward. Throw in more time for Ibaka to get used to his teammates, DeRozan developing a three and a second…

There’s been a long-circulating proposal to counter tanking in the NHL that would give the first draft position to the team with the most wins after they’ve been eliminated from playoff contention. While this still favours the absolute worst teams (because they’re eliminated earlier and therefore have more games to…

Sens fan here (please kill me), and I was really hoping they’d go for something more like 112 games.

Glad that the kids seem to have inherited Paula’s looks exclusively.
