Have you been down from upstate at all? Clemson isn’t the draw down here in the Lowcountry, or in the Midlands either.

Why is Clemson playing on a Friday night? Because the ACC can’t draw a bigger TV audience than the SEC, Big 12 or Big 10 on Saturdays. Clemson isn’t even the most popular team in its own state, even though it’s the current national champion.

I was in the position of marrying my very unpleasant ex wife, and what with all the planning, sunk costs, blah blah blah, I felt like I had to go through with it. Everyone hated her. Quite literally everyone. No one said a word, which is probably all it would have taken to snap me back to reality. Say something…

We’re a country of over 300M people. We should be able to produce a few more Pulisics every 4 years. As a parent and coach of youth soccer players, there is little scouting of youth players compared to other sports. Youth leagues are either recreational (low quality of play) or travelling (costs money plus lots of…

Everywhere else completing 50 percent of your work is an F.

I’m a pit bull hater. They have awful temperaments that come boiling up anytime a little yap dog barks at them and they go completely insane even though there’s no way a 10 pound ball of fluff is any sort of threat. My mastiff encounters these dogs often on our walks, and you know how he reacts? He does absolutely…

Aldi’s knockoff is really good; 1/3 the price of the real stuff.

He had scholarship offers from Ohio State and Notre Dame to play football

Don’t feel too bad for the bartender because they get a legitimate wage (not the 1/2 minimum that servers typically get) plus all the tips they get from the people they directly serve at the bar, and generally, a percentage of all the servers tips.

A 4:30 mile is moving. If you can run that, you’re pretty much guaranteed to win the event at a high school track meet. The mile is a legitimate distance race where being made of largely fast-twitch muscles is going to be a detriment. I’d say he could likely get the quarter under a minute, but would fall off quickly…

Being an Arsenal fan dovetails nicely with my Cleveland roots. Often close to the top of the table, always finding new and exciting ways to blow it.

I’m an Arsenal fan because I love their socks. That’s about the worst reason you can come up with to like a team. Fouts’ beard? Totally awesome.

So, beats Patriots, raises fist in Black Panther salute after scoring touchdown, gives ball to kid in stands = MVP in my book

Yeah, the ref thing was shitty in the Lions game, but every announcer always says at that juncture of the game “they can get two plays off, but they have to throw into the endzone or get to the sideline” It shouldn’t have gotten to that point.

Looks like Usain Bolt sneaked onto the pitch. Amazing that after making that run he shifted gears quickly and finished perfectly

Green Bay has both it’s starting OTs out, and it’s making life difficult for Aaron Rodgers- he’s taken a lot of hits and sacks the past few weeks. O-line play is critical.

Traveling as a family of five truly sucks. The kids don’t want to share a bed (like I was forced to do at their age), there might be a couch that one could sleep on, but that causes fights. We usually bring a sleeping bag and an air mattress, but still. When we do spring for 2 rooms because, Jesus Christ, we need to…

I use “I can’t understand what you’re saying” broken-record style for general whininess and tantrums. It forces the kid to calm down to be heard, doesn’t invalidate legitimate needs, and doesn’t encourage tantrums by getting any sort of emotional response out of you.

Fuck you for reminding me it hasn’t even been a year

Kickers don’t get enough love.
