The fan letters in this were funny without being particularly scathing. Good work all around, folks!

...have you ever been there?

NBC evening news just attributed it to an iCloud hack executed via the "Find My iPhone" app (which, btw, Apple has claimed to have already plugged the hole that allowed the breach).

I didn't know places this remote existed with Internet access

Mike: I could have written your same remark, though replace LAS with ORD (I caused a minor scene at the Admiral's Club there and then trudged to my gate soon thereafter).

I was just a few rows back behind the 3B dugout for last night's game, and while this play was happening, I was POSITIVE that the game was going to get tied up (just as I presume everyone else at the stadium was), because this ball was definitely in the hole. But then, not only does Simmons track it down, but he…

This is why I stay away from WebMD! I'll convince myself that I have a brain tumor if I spend 90 seconds on that site. Anyway, I appreciate the reply. I do have an ambien prescription, and have so for many years, but got that mostly for anxiety/"active brain" reasons.

Honest question: I'm 34, and feel like I may have mild symptoms of CTE myself - but have no idea how to go about getting tested/diagnosed for it. I never played football (organized), but was always an athlete, and have had north of half a dozen concussions between the ages of 5 and 25, caused by everything from…

Seems shortsighted to me if the Vikings really think Teddy is their franchise QB of the future (which is what they say publicly), but if he has underwhelmed (and they actually feel differently in private), then this could happen. There's a whole host of second stringers who they can over-pay for, though.

Wow, I guess I forgot that guy existed since it was pretty much his only highlight ever...but I stand corrected regardless!

Can't this be said about most "average" quarterbacks, though? Give them some help and a competent coaching staff, and they'll look like a new person out there? Cassel is one of the best recent examples, and I'm not talking about Farve to Minnesota, Brees to New Orleans, or Warner to Arizona (because they were all…

Regardless of what you think of Farve, that season was memorable. I still remember the last second heave to Sidney Rice to beat SF early in the season, and not being able to miss a game after it (I live out of market). But, yeah, the second Farve year, and then the McNabb experiment...all forgettable...and a waste of…

He didn't really have much/any help there, did he (whether it be o-line, receivers, etc)? And wasn't Romeo his coach? That's an uphill battle right there.

As a Viking fan, I'm fine with this. Having Josh Freeman and Christian Ponder (and Joe Webb, even) out of the conversation was good enough news, but Matt Cassel has proved himself fairly competent since putting on a purple uniform (yes, the bar for competent was low, but still). I've liked what Teddy Bridgewater has…

Saw some old, rich asshole driving his on Long Island last month. I wished I was him, didn't come true. Gorgeous car.

Fear not, Ray - the cops there did just as shitty of a job when the house of my future brother-in-law and his wife was broken into (also in Coral Gables) a few years ago...and they're doctors. It's not discrimination as much as it is ineptitude, because they can tell by your address which side of the tracks you're on.

ALWAYS unbutton the jacket when sitting - that's how you loosen (or pop) the front button. Whether at an interview or a wedding this is protocol.

Whoever let Dux out of the house in that crime scene of a suit should be reprimanded. Considering his bride looks comparatively better in what's best described as a giant loofah, this could just be Pelini's "what the fuck are these two wearing?" face.

Sounds like they really need to adopt the way that things work in greater D.C., which is another place where not a ton of people live in the district itself, but a ton of people come in/out every day for work, and as such the surrounding areas/counties from both VA and MD need to play ball with the capitol's mass…
