Andrew’s (excellent) rant about Tepper got me curious about his wealth. He’s rich, for sure, but Paul Allen’s estate (aka his sister Jody) is nearly double Tepper’s net worth.

Exactly. I wouldn’t even consider keeping a mountain bike helmet for more than 3-4 years (even with no visible cracks or dings). The idea of wearing an NFL helmet for 10+ years is insane.

I drove from NC to see the game Frerotte head-butted the wall.

This blog’s writing checks Nick Denton can’t cash.

I hate that this is an article 20-fucking-19 and not some op-ed written for the Times back in 1948. Great piece, Nick. I went to grad school at ECU (though I don’t mention it in polite company) and own some land in Chocowinity, right near the water. Zero chance I ever move back there.
