This was the high water mark of my sports fandom that will never be exceeded. I was 30 years old so there were still players older than me I could look up to. Now that I’m 40, it just doesn’t hold the same level of interest it once did when you’re talking about people younger than you. Doesn’t mean that I don’t…

The Speedmaster is an icon that will never go out of style and is reasonably priced (relative to a Rolex or other high end watch) depending on where you buy. Love mine. Flys under the radar because it isn’t a Rolex so you don’t get the “look at Mr Moneybags” baggage either.

Fucking Rodgers. The man just won’t let me hate him (Bears fan here). Congratulations, you’ve just joined the Derek Jeter All-Stars. A small group of people I want to hate, but just have to tip my hat to them and say, “well done, sir.” Additional members include:

Get the discs cheap from Amazon or eBay, rip them, and give the disc to a friend. Then watch via Plex which is available on pretty much every box sold these days. Everything sits on an external drive and is backed up locally.

This! Watch the tape and see Prior scream “INTERFERENCE!.” How Dusty doesn’t walk out there and say, “Chill out. It was just a foul ball. We’re up 3 runs and about to wrap this shit up,” is beyond me.

I’ve only been on two 4-day hikes, both in Yosemite. The first was brutal with blisters by day 3. The second was blister free. I made two big changes to correct this. First, I went from waterproof mid-hikers to trail runners. Next, I cut almost 10 lbs off my pack. Now, I wasn’t hiking in any nasty weather or…

I think it was San Diego and its baseball stadium, but someone else here may know for sure, where hotel/tourist tax revenue came up way short from projections and the local citizens ended up footing the bill.

Ball State grad, here. Muncie had a great abandoned/flooded quarry we would go to for similar redneck waterpark recreation. People who weren’t there still don’t believe us when we talk of the height we jumped from. One guy jacked up his knee on one landing that still occasionally aches almost 20 years later. Dumb as…

Absolutely this, the only question is if you go with the 007 or the 009 with the “Pepsi” bezel. Get rid of the rubber strap or jubilee bracelet (whichever yours comes with) and pair it with a Strapcode Super Oyster for $50 off Amazon or a plethora of NATO straps and you got yourself one damn fine watch.

TIL. Thanks.

I haven’t seen either of the Bad Boys movies but I feel like I should since an even higher appreciation of the movie can only be for the greater good.

Yeah. And fuck Gaspar Gomez too.

“I have a problem where sometimes when I give 120 per cent I pass out.”

Yeah, living in Frisco, I have been to exactly one Rangers game and will not go back. I’m a transplant so not exactly a Rangers fan but I’d love to hit up MLB games from time to time but the drive out there is horrible, traffic sucks, paying too much to park, then have to drive all the way back after having a few…

My personal favorite:

Best advice I got: If you live in a cold weather town, don’t get one that sits too high. Otherwise, dealing with gloves is a pain in the ass and she’ll curse the ring you bought her every time it snags.
