“He wants to play in football stadiums, but did not rule out playing in baseball parks.”

Flanders?

My biggest disappointment is that it isn’t “online shopping”, it’s “online browsing”. I still have to interact with scummy salespersons, and still have to deal with shithead finance managers. There’s no reason, especially with brand new cars, that it cannot be a 100% online transaction where I find a car, I click a…

Honest question here: is there any living Stanley Cup winner whose name has been retired from the Cup? Just curious.

I felt bad for them right up to the point where they started littering the Pens bench and playing surface with shit as time was running out. And while players were skating around with the Cup.

KPMG? One of the top accounting firms?

just watching this makes me inexplicably anxious. what those racers do is simply unfathomable in the greater context of automobile racing. every other type of racing seems so innocuous in comparison.

Sounds like we grew up in pretty much the same neighborhood in Pittsburgh in the 80's. Block parties, gangs of neighborhood kids running around playing street hockey or baseball from dawn till dusk or all riding bikes to the community pool. Whoever’s house we were closest to for lunch fed us cheese sandwiches. We’d…

There’s four things I’ve learned never to skimp on in life:

But, that’s a play that the Pens have executed several times over the past 2 seasons. Hell, that’s an XB360 NHL ‘13 co-op play that you can waste people with. Firm low far post shot to a left-hand glove goalie from a poor but not impossible angle; the only real play the goalie has is to kick it with his pad. The shot…

agreed. although it’s kind of patronizing, trying to dress the part will earn you quite a bit of leeway either at the practice facility or the local course when you’re learning. first impressions make a difference, and not dressing like a schlub is a good sign to someone seeing you hacking the yard apart that you’re…

4. If you’re slicing the ball, it’s not because you aren’t “turning your wrists over”, it’s because you’re coming over the top and trying to murder the ball by trying to chop its head off with an axe. That’s the biggest thing I see new players do, and it’s because nearly everyone played baseball at some point as a…

i think you misspelled “NBA” bruh

But, in each of these videos provided, the pitchers are in their windup within 4-9 seconds or so after the batter assumes his position in the batter’s box.

Regional and small-scale proxy wars have allowed war hawks on all sides to get their rocks off without upsetting the delicate balance of nuclear gamesmanship since the end of WWII. While smaller scale wars are tragic and sometimes morally questionable, they do allow the nuclear players a cozy blanket of deniability…

I wonder if Sullivan’s got a version of this pregamer:

wealthy old white guy takes something nice and ruins it trying to wring every last penny from it before he dies.

I agree with nearly every word in this article, but I think you’re missing the point and tone of the Bill Buford passage you included. There’s a utilitarianism to what chefs like Batali do with food they cook, even if it does indeed (and oh does it ever) get blanketed and buried under 6 feet of pretentiousness. They…

GM, Ford, Auto Union, Daimler, and BMW all employed slave labor to help Nazi Germany; Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Datsun all employed slave labor to help imperial Japan.

No showers. Plz.
