Awesome to read this - I grew up partly in Germany and my love of beer started with Pilsners. To this day, whenever I’m home for the holidays I dig my parents nice pilsners glasses out of the basement (where they otherwise sit because they are a huge pain in the ass to wash) and buy some real german pilsner from a…

DAMN IT WHO TOLD YOU OUR SECRET! Seriously though, I do think the Pats will win, and more than likely will win the SB and that would be amazing. BUT, this is the first time at the conference championship weekend where I don’t have burning hatred in my heart for the other three teams still alive (and I hate a LOT of…

Pats fan, and can confirm this looks bad but somehow I’m at peace with this because Conference Championship Winning QB Brian Hoyer doesn’t sound any more ridiculous than the same title applied to Blake Bortles, Case Keenum, or Nick Foles.

Her skiing right now is really something else. Watching second runs where everyone in the field is losing time against the lead in the hair-pins or flushes and she actually is gaining seconds in those spots.... its just amazing.

I don’t doubt that she could crush it if she devoted more time to Downhill but selfishly as a fan of the discipline I hope she sticks to slalom and GS because what shiffrin is doing right now in slalom is absolutely astounding. I recorded the race from last week and watched it with my 3 y/o daughter who was…

I’m actually shocked this never happened to us given that when my daughter was in her 2's her greatest loves were play-doh and having pockets.

Lynch was stopped previously in short yardage during the game and I think 1 for 5 on the year in scoring from the 1 (and at best 50% for his time in Seattle). Couple that with the rational of being forced into an obvious passing situation on third down if Lynch didn’t score, and I don’t think the decision was as cut…

They cut to Richard Sherman and he was basically like, ‘What the Fuck?’ right into the camera, I assume that’s what you’re remembering.

Spend 10 minutes googling how black players have been treated in european soccer / football leagues - or actually try living there, and you’ll realize how wrong this statement is. Some aspect of the sweatshirt assignment could have been random, but there is no way between the photoshoot and the publication to the…

They also made a point of noting that screen time should not take the place of sleep, play, or other enriching activities.

I think he was expecting a jump ball and wasn’t prepared for something that was more or less waist-level - it looks bad in slow motion but in the moment who knows.... I do know that he looked absolutely gassed the whole 4th quarter so entirely possible that played it into it as well.

Exactly what my wife and I do (are doing) and I recommend it to my direct reports who have kids. As a manager I’d rather have 3-4 hours of dedicated work and availability then interrupted bits and pieces over the course of nine hours.

I know this isn’t the right venue to say something positive about anything affiliated with barstool, but Pardon My Take having a Blake Bortles Wikipedia club in response to the Andrew Luck Book Club is fucking hysterical in concept and even better in execution.

Sorry your mom blew up Ricky

Tried to come up with some clever puns involving Doug Gabriel and Bam Childress but I collapsed into a pit of sorrow thinking about how easily that team would have beaten the Bears in the superbowl if they had just one reliable receiver outside of Troy Brown.

You’re not wrong - the entire top floor (which is the living room / dining room / kitchen )of our house has 18 windows of non-standard height, so replacing the blinds with cordless versions would require custom orders, and last I checked it would be nearly $2K.

Its just so hard. especially once they start getting into toys that are fun. We’re big into rotation, living in the city makes that a necessity anyway, so that seems to help but as we celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah this time of year i over-whelming.  

brown butter bourbon old fashioned

Totally agree, honestly I can’t remember a dirtier play by a Belichick era Patriot aside from, oh I don’t know, pick one of several from Brandon Merriweather. Given that he wasn’t the instigator in the Sergio Brown (if I remember right Brown had been throwing cheap shots all game) or the SB ruckus (Avril?), I can’t…

I imagine there were very few people who had time for root for any football team as they were likely busy hoping to live anywhere other than Connecticut, or barring that, the sweet release of death.
