In prior years I’ve been known to spend a summer Saturday getting up absurdly early (4am-ish) to go hike a high peak. These are some of my favorite days I’ve had any summer:

The crosswalk near my office is the most anxiety-inducing part of my ride. It’s an intersection of two arterials that are one-way and four lanes wide. That means on two sides, drivers are getting a green light to turn through crosswalks that also have the Walk sign illuminated for pedestrians and cyclists. Any cyclist…

I’m not sure the “you get to live in City X” is as big a draw as we think it is. Most NBA/NFL/MLB players can afford to live wherever they want outside the season...and during the season, they’re on the road a ton and mostly doing sports things. It probably makes the most difference for places where there is no income…

I would go with Dee and Meredith, but that would also pretty much be Dee and The Waitress.

The bad news if Kawhi went to the Lakers is apparent. The fun part though would be how the window for the Process Sixers will continue to remain ajar and unable to fully open or close for the next few years.

It’s an interesting take for sure. As non-knower of these things, would it be in the realm of possibility to say the Nets are now basically the KD/Westbrook Thunder?

Just a weird thing to get mad about. If someone wrote the Grey Cup was a way more entertaining and well-played game than this year’s Super Bowl...I would find it extremely difficult to get pissed and accuse that person of being a Canadian sellout.

It was impressive how he took the time to be inclusive with the abbreviation for people he proceeds to exclude.

My guy Alex who just let Samer know he was a bad man was elegant in its simplicity, and in the fact that I’m sure it brought Samer much joy.

I’m always intrigued how the number of “no subject” emails aligns pretty well with emails that are all subject and no body copy. They’re irrationally angry, but damned if they aren’t efficient.

Gotta appreciate the Facebook comments sections where people either don’t understand how any of this works, or are just like, fuck it.

My parents’ season ticket group changed seats last season because of the nets. The went from 16 rows behind the first baseline dugout to club level on the third baseline because the nets got extended and a lot of the old folks didn’t want to watch games through a net. Not only does this put the seats in a more unsafe…

I think at some level if you sue someone, you are rationalizing them as being responsible for your misfortune. I certainly don’t think the Astros need defenders here, and I absolutely think they, and every other MLB team, need more netting put up. If the lawsuit is used as a mechanism to get more nets up, great. I’m…

Yep...baseball being a potentially dangerous spectator sport is in no way new information, just as it isn’t new information that there are certain locations in ballparks where the risk of being hit by a ball is increased.

Sure, but when Mike Nolan and Jack Del Rio tried to bring back the sideline suit it just came off as the actions of men who were out of actual coaching ideas.

My understanding is the bill doesn’t require that the athlete be from CA...just play for a CA program. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t matter as much if the state produced a lot of recruits...programs there would be using it to lure top talent from across the country/world. In the case of CA, USC Football would still…

They’ve done a good enough job on their own avoiding NCAA championships as of late.

Original cost of the ticket, and Cam Newton has to personally bring the food he gets served in Business/First Class back to me, and then has to carry the meal I’m served in Economy back to his seat. Before taking his meal back to the seat, we get to watch a replay of Von Miller strip sacking him in the SB on my phone.

Kinda depends on the story. If it’s a day-turn obviously you can’t wait two days for someone to get back to you. I’d say, at minimum, four hours is fair in that situation. Gives an organization or individual half of a work day to come up with a response. If it’s a longer form story and the subject should be offered a…
