Ran the 800m all four years of HS. I barely remember most of high school, but the pain the 800 caused me is so vivid in my memory that it could have been yesterday. People who haven't run the 800m have no idea how painful it is. I remember the 200/400 guys would always brag about the 400 being the toughest event in…

I'm going to spend all day thinking about this question.

I'm just glad they didn't go overboard with tiles. I'm so sick of that website design — that tile design (see: Slate) looks like a method to address the needs of the visually impaired but ends up giving me a seizure.

Please make it the Redskins. And please let Dave McKenna live-blog every episode.

Ufford brings the hammer down. +1000, Matt.

I love Boswell. For several years, it seemed like he was mailing it in, but for whatever reason, about three years ago, he got exactly to this point — zero fucks to give — and he's been throwing heat ever since. It's a joy.

Deadspin should give McKenna a weekly column on the insanity of Snyder and the Redskins. There would be no lack of material.

What about Big Daddy Balls?

Next week: Craig Finn on the Twins, Minnesota high school hockey, and hoodrats.

While I have not seen an episode, I am very familiar with Empire. Commercials air for it constantly. It is, safe to say, a cultural phenomenon.

This wins the internet today. Something sweet, sincere, and just the right amount of sentimental.

Gahhhh....there is no process more frustrating to me than buying or leasing a car. You're screwed either way. Buy a car — then the first or second (if you own a home) most valuable asset you own begins depreciating the SECOND you drive off the lot. Lease a car — then you are locking in monthly payments for the…

Kaepernick befuddles me. During his Super Bowl run, I thought we were witnessing the quarterback of the future, and now I don't know what to make of him. I can't tell if NFL defenses figured him out, the SF coaching staff got away from what made him so effective, whether he regressed, or whether my eyes were…

Barry will probably watch this and still avoid the Godfather movies.

This looks a lot like last night's Columbus-Washington game, but tinier.

Strangely enough, there's some evidence that smoking delays the onset of dementia and Alzheimer's. So if you get that test and that's the result — smoke 'em if you got 'em.

All I really need to know now is that Morris Day was on their chief rival and trash talked from the end of the bench.

"I Could Definitely Take the Place of Your Point Guard."

Charles Oakley would like a word.

This is a good bear.
