I can’t speak to higher than the church-league 4th-6th graders I’ve coached, but the first thing I said to them before our games was if they had any complaints to come to me or one of the other coaches. The second thing I said was to not have any complaints because the refs are going to be right more than the kids…

He may have naturally kicked out a little bit (which you can do since 3s shouldn’t typically be fadeaways), but Livingston ended up standing basically where Chris Paul jumped from.

I felt more disrespected by whatever that dab was as he stepped on home plate.

It won’t be a clock, it’ll be like with Intentional Walks. If you hit a homer you and any other baserunners get to walk back to the dugout. I’m sure the fans will love that! 

I have Dish and a 60" TV and I can watch up to four games at the same time. It used to be that the main tuner could only do three and I had to have a second tuner in the bedroom to get the fourth to work, but they updated the Hopper so I don’t need the bedroom tuner anymore.

The TV needs some of his excellent insurance, obviously. 

Our TV is on a dresser with three rows of drawers we got off Craigslist for $15. I took out the top drawers and screwed some wood in so that the Dish receiver, Blu-Ray player, and NES Classic have a place to sit and be accessible, and we use the other drawers for storage. I’m sure if we had some fancy display, it’d be…

I wasn't sure what this is, so I googled it. When your "people also search for" includes Amway and Heaven's Gate, you must be doing something right. 

I think I read that Phoenix wanted to do a very stripped-down, character-based, comic book movie and he seems to have gotten that with Joker. I’m not sure Doctor Strange would have really fulfilled him in that respect. 

has too much of a 14-year-old’s-prank-call-to-the-local-K-Mart sound to it.

1-6-3 on the putout. 

I re-watched this last night, and it was just mind-bending how destructive he was to the Beast. Any other episode the Beast looks nearly invincible, but this guy makes him look like a rejected contestant from Wheel of Fortune.

It’s probably less “bloggers” and more “the youth”. Like on the 100th day of school in first grade when my teacher had us all draw a picture of something we’d buy with $100, and most of us drew limos or Jeeps, and she destroyed our dreams by saying we could maybe rent a limo for one night or buy one Jeep tire with $100…

I saw him on GSN’s The Chase a few years ago and he absolutely destroyed the Beast. When he popped up on Jeopardy! two weeks ago, I was excited, but he’s done better than I could have imagined.

Demetri Martin has a similar joke. Something along the lines of “I’m sorry” and “I apologize” mean the same thing. Except at a funeral. 

Yes. Becky was supposed to win, that much we know. We don’t know if she was supposed to win clean, or if Ronda’s shoulders were supposed to be off the mat and the ref was supposed to miss that and make the resulting win sketchy. Based on the commentary, I imagine that the ref was supposed to blow the call (potentially…

May your new house be more of a Fortress and not at all Shaky. 

I am now rooting for the Wizards to get the pick because, as a Pacers fan, I would be happy if the Pacers traded McDermott for Zion. The Wizards could even keep their second rounder. 

I flew from Louisville to Birmingham on Southwest about a decade ago, and there were only about 10 other people on the flight. It was nice having a few rows to myself. On what I’m sure is an unrelated note, Southwest no longer offers that direct route. 

I really enjoyed reading this. Thanks!
