A good friend of mine who is, ahem, not very good with money, bought a brand new F150 a couple years ago. He had awful credit but decent income, the best they could do was ELEVEN PERCENT on a $45,000 truck. It’s a work truck and I pleaded with him to buy a $3000 90's truck because it’s going to get beat up anyway. He…

God, yes. This is vintage Jalopnik. That Practical Enthusiast writer (Peter Monshizadeh? Definitely spelled that wrong) had a great column but haven’t seen one of those in a while. I don’t give a fuck about “why we don’t have crazy good 5 minute chargers” and Elon Musk’s girlfriends.

Colts fan- I don’t hate on that decision one bit. You’re not making the playoffs, might as well PLAY to WIN the GAME. I hope even though guys like Reich are catching shit for taking that risk, that the game is trending toward his/Pederson’s/Vrabel’s mentality. 

“Jesus”, Clint thought, “is it 6:30 already?”. His old Radio Shack alarm clock shrieked at him incessantly. Its broken speaker made the sound that much more obnoxious. He fumbled for the off button, hit it and sighed. How many High Lifes was it last night? Twelve? Fifteen? Things had been a blur since Darlene…

Surely there’s a spare Browns jersey laying around

Great story please keep us updated throughout the season

That looks one billion times better than the bloated pile of garbage featured in this article.

The hypocrisy here is ridiculous sometimes.
