All the guys I play hoop with are fucking flying around the country taking in as many U2 shows as they can. The guys range in age from 38 to 50, so squarely middle aged. The kicker is that if the kids are old enough (say 10 and up), they drag them along too. They talk about these shows like they’re a religious…

They fell behind Philly by 22 points yesterday after four days of rest. It was baffling to say the least. Then they won by 19, which is equally ridiculous.

Where do I get my warranty work done? Where are oem parts regularly in stock?

I thought the Jags D was head hunting the whole game, clearly trying to knock out the QB. Tyrod got roughed up.

It seems unbelievable, but I bet it happened. I went to a Nets game at the Meadowlands as a kid to see the first run peak Bulls and a feisty Nets team with Drazen Petrovic, Derrick Coleman, Kenny Anderson and some other intriguing pieces. The place was half empty for what was a pretty solid NBA game and at the time…

I don’t have studded tires, because well we plow and salt the earth in Eastern Massachusetts, but I have to assume that studded snow tires are amazing.

Good God man! I grew up in Western MA without a garage, and on those super chilly nights we’d park the car so that the wind didn’t go right into the engine bay and cover the front end with blankets. It did seem to help, but I can’t imagine dealing with cold like that!

Most definitely. And even better, that big finance or anybody can brick without your knowledge for whatever reason they want.

I remember when my mom would take me to games and we would just buy tickets at the box office at the stadium. The scene was way wilder in those days too. So much liquor, nudity, and fighting in the parking lot/stands. Kind of like a Bills tailgate now, without the social media feedback loop.

Ego. There’s never enough fame, money, or adulation for these types of people. Brady is so up his ass with this TB12 nonsense that he probably actually believes he can change the world’s health and wellness with his personal philosophies.

Only time will tell if they traded away Steve Young. Garrapolo has a nice undefeated streak going at QB, but he has like 8 TDs and 5 ints and is playing a tomato can schedule down the stretch. The Pats might have just traded away the next Matt Cassel.

I bought a Mazda 6 in 2015 precisely because of the increased rear leg room. Took my daughter with me to test drive the Mazda 3 and she begged for more leg room. The 6 fit the bill.

Painting a car seems like a pretty expensive job if you want it done well. Probably why very few people do this unless it’s for a collectible vehicle or insurance is footing the bill after an accident.

And they can’t milk Miami for a stadium boondoggle anytime soon, the Marlins just did that! Time to relocate.

Naked Capitalism is a daily for me. Yves is razor sharp and posts a collection of original pieces, cross links, and guest posts.

While this is an interesting anecdote in the argument of the purpose of the corporation, the idea that there is a legal obligation of directors to enrich shareholders is bunk:

Somebody has to buy new cars, or there are no used cars. Or cars period!

Plus Tesla will mimic Apple and degrade the car function with successive software updates so you’ll need a new car to merge onto the highway.
