It’s 1965, draft day. The Bears have the 4th overall pick, and were also able to secure a deal with the Steelers for the 3rd overall pick. (That’s two draft picks in a row, for those of you that aren’t following.) Their turn comes... the Bears’ first pick... Dick Butkus. Their second pick... Gale Sayers. Butkus played…

There’s one reason for the perpetual drunkenness, especially in the winter. There’s nothing else to do in Chicago except drink. Chicago is surrounded by nothing except suburban sprawl, and corn. That’s why I got the hell outta there and moved to Denver.

“Brian:

I think the dismantling of football has already begun. NFL viewership has been declining for years. Youth football registration has been declining for years. We know the reasons; CTE, poor treatment of players, greedy owners and executives, bad politics, letting criminals play. I predict that in a generation or two,…

Super cool!!

Thanks! Now I know the snake isn’t eating, but birthing. 

“Sweat, on the other hand, does not use horse energy. In fact, once it’s out of you it evaporates and makes you, and therefore the car, lighter.”

Why is the snake eating the man? I forgot. 

“Faraday still believes it can get its first production car out the door by the end of 2018. When the California factory is up and running, the company said last month, it will employ up to 1,300 people working a three-shift schedule.”

I saw a short video about the development of I.D. R. The VW engineers and Dumas said their goal was 8:56 for Pikes Peak (one second faster than the previous EV record). To go out there and do it a minute faster than that is almost unbelievable. Great job VW! (at distracting people from the terrible scandal you had a…

Front wheel drive? Unibody structure? This ain’t no Blazer. Marketing propaganda.

I remember seeing the Aspen at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show (that first commercial was shot in downtown Chicago, a real urban landscape). I remember it was one of the first cars I’d seen with white LED reading lights. Then I remember that it’s MPG rating was like, 10 or something in that terrible range. I bet it handles…

This car is hilarious. The blue carpet, purple dash, and black Taurus steering wheel... yeah, those go well together!

When I first learned about Anthony Bourdain, it must’ve been in 2008. I started watching No Reservations. I identified with him immediately. I felt like I was watching a friend on TV. By that point in my life, I had traveled quite a bit, throughout Europe, the Middle East, and along with living in Singapore for 5…

You forgot to mention that CNN’s revenue comes from advertising, which is based on viewership. How does a network get viewers these days? Say it with me people... sensationalism. That goes for every other ad-revenue based news source. Chris Cuomo and Sarah Sanders arguing is not journalism, it’s entertainment, geared…

Call it an estate. Dutch people don’t know what a station wagon is.

This thing is Russian. Not Italian. Russians created a front company in Italy, so they could say it’s Italian. The Sega Saturn gave it away. And the fact that it’s a modified Ram 1500 that costs $300,000. Only oligarchs buy this kind of shit.

Just to clarify, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, white male, NOT a terrorist.

I thought the NRA fixed this? Arming teachers? That simple. This is Texas, everyone has guns, right? This wasn’t supposed to happen again.

Bumping Linkin Park... that’s good.
