To echo what I posted in the other thread on this, if the receiver doesn't start falling down while coming back for the ball, that while en route just hits the defender for being in it's path...then it's probably PI and the original flag stands. The whole face-guarding thing only comes into play because of the path of…

I have no dog in this fight (go Vikings), but I was surprised a flag was thrown at all. The receiver basically looked like he was falling backwards (not pushed, or at least nothing worse than momentum, if he slowed at all, but then began to fall as he tried to come back for the ball), and while the defender never…

I grew up on Stuart Scott's broadcasts (I'm 34), and while he wasn't always my favorite guy on set (his spoken word rap highlights I definitely could have done without), he had an awesome on-air presence and by all accounts was a good colleague, person, and father. His ESPY speech was incredible and I'll remember him…

Thanks man, and keep up the good Foodspin-ing. I guess my only point with the 'commenting frequency' is that it's harder to get yourself out of the grey if you don't even bother showing up there very often. Day off today, so...I'm more active than usual. Quality over quantity has always been the goal around here,…

Super Bowl predictions? how about: the game you want to see, and the game we are most likely to see. For me, it is:

One of these days I hope to receive the same notification, congrats. Unfortunately, my commenting frequency has gone done a bit so I've kind of given up hope (new job + everything blocked on the net + open floor plan = no commenting fun).

Also, Anthony Barr is in the convo for Defensive ROY...so there's that, too.

You ever see www.walterfootball.com? PERFECT example of what you're talking about here.

I'm fine with the National Anthem, but this 7th inning God Bless America shit has to be stopped. Take Me Out To The Ballgame or nothing.

That break is going to happen anyway because of the broadcast's obligation to advertisers, but yeah, stadiums don't have to pander to the A.D.D. crowd as much as they do during that 2:30mins.

The popovers served at BLT Prime (and BLT Steak) are fucking incredible. They also come served with soft, spreadable butter because those restaurants are run by non-savages.

Yeah, it is. Up until a few years ago, I had a covered balcony for four years in Midtown East, and we had a few things on there that just kind of sat. The grime that would accumulate on that stuff was real dirty (17 stories up, too). I never think a thing of the air I breathe here, because you don't SEE it (a la…

Uggggggghhhhhh I hate it when the "office lunch" is ordered with all condiments already applied. They really do love mayo in Europe, though. I couldn't deal.

Well, for what it's worth, your local deli sounds heavenly. Do you remember your first surprise mayo experience? Because...I do. I was like 9 years old and ordered a hamburger at some restaurant in Disney World. It showed up slathered in mayo and I cried. I don't cry any more, but the overall anti-mayo sentiment…

Mayo is pretty common on a BLT - I'd actually assume those come mayo'd up unless specified otherwise. But a French dip that comes with au jus on the side? Nope! (Its nearly two years since I made this post and Hillstone still hasn't rectified their menu.)

Go Orange! (I grew up in the surrounding 'burbs)

Yeah, I mean, you never know about these people! He also said things like "Steve Levy is a totally nice, decent guy - but he knows literally NOTHING about any sport that isn't hockey." Things like that blew my mind way more than the who is/isn't a dick convo.

I concede that if you polled 100 ex-ESPN'ers you'd get 100 different "who sucks most" lists. Love Neil Everett, glad to see you put him on the 'Best' list (my friend had him on there too). Surprised about Stan; Flores always struck me as just a normal dude. Stu Scott can go play in traffic.
