She also calls him Manny Rodriguez, for what it's worth.

No country music fans I see...

If they're on the Cincinnati Reds it is probably just an underhanded attempt by Todd Frazier's publicist.

I was really ready for some Jamaican recipes. I have had goat a few times and I fucking loved it. I'd love to do it myself sometime.

Oh no!

You'd think he couldn't point out the Bronx on a map, but if he just aims for Manhattan he'll be ok.

I understand the point for a site like Gawker who wants to work towards intelligent comments and avoid becoming another CNN/Yahoo message board site... but for sports? I just don't think it is necessary.

As a man of heft who missed the first go-round:

I learned about the Alabama Shakes via a DUAN post a couple of months ago. Maybe it was from CPH? Not sure.

It doesn't take any talent or creativity, it takes a sufficient credit line. I'm trying to do something a little bit different.

Tip from this amateur chef who has multiple times sliced jalapenos, gone about his day, and then scratched at his eyes: get a box of surgical gloves and keep them in the kitchen for when you have to deal with hot peppers.

I saw Alan Jackson and his show gave me the exact same impression with regards to going through the motions. "I'ma gonna play me these songs just like we played 'em on the albums, and they's not a damn thing yew all can do to stop me".

I saw them previously and they played for over 2 hours and were generally awesome. For this one they played for about 40 minutes with little to no energy.

The Shania Twain joke earlier, and the thread downstream already in here, made me remember that when I was in high school I went to a Shania Twain concert. With my mom.
