Of the football I watch, 99% is pro, 1% is college, and I think I was only speaking to the NFL rule set with my comments. I honestly have no idea what the difference(s) are between NFL/NCAA when it comes to this specific area...

Yeah, I believe that the current rules basically blow any extra point or 2pt try dead in the event of a block or a turnover. I'm fine with this remaining as-is. What I'm not fine with is giving the defense either one or two points for running one of these back the other way; it's either a TD or it isn't, as far as I'm…

I'm fine with everything proposed there, except the defense only being able to get one or two points for what is essentially a defensive TD (assuming I read and understood that last bullet correctly). I say they either let them go for the full 6 points, or the play gets blown dead in the event ot a blocked kick or…

N0t even Jerry Jones is taking that contract (even though he probably tells Spielman on an hourly basis that "something can be worked out"), and I think that a RB deal with Dallas brings back so many painful memories of the lopsided Herschel Walker trade that the Vikings fear getting burned on trade value here, which…

Cooley is great. I'm a Fairfield alum (where he last coached), and he did a ton to improve that program during his tenure. It's all gone to shit since. We miss him, Providence is lucky to have him, and I'm glad he found an opportunity with a program that will support his coaching ability. I put Providence in my Sweet…

I work for a huge company that everyone has heard of, and have since last year. My line of business is important to the organization for many reasons, but we have the problem of being resource heavy and barely profitable. The two executives who ran the two main subdivisions within this line of business have both quit…

Oh man. I was in Cancun for all of this in 2000, and was actually one of the 60 contestants for Win A Dream Date With Carmen Electra that was on stage. Since I wasn't one of those super muscular meatball frat dudes, they stuck me in the back (also because I was tall - that was their friendly way of telling me to get…

Only two teams (Bulls, 3x & 3x; Rockets 2x) won for eight straight seasons! Bookended by Pistons ('89 & '90) and Spurs ('99)! This guy is an idiot.

My first word was "truck", only it came out "tuck" because apparently R's were hard. Guess the bug bit me early...

Good article overall on taking the long view to health and fitness. That being said, my wedding date is 90 days away and I'd like to drop 20-25lbs, on my way to being (and staying) 30-35lbs below my current weight (male, 34, 6'2", 233lbs). I'm down 6-7lbs strictly by watching portions, snacking less, and basically…

1) As a Spurs fan, it sucked to see them blow this one at the end (the team has an atrocious record in OT games this year; it is now 1-5 or something, following last night, and is a statistic very indicative of the team's age);

$20 says that guy dips his fries in mayo instead of ketchup...

I watched some asshole clear out the back 1/3 of the M15 uptown bus a week ago because he was playing music from his phone and singing along with it loudly, obnoxiously, and terribly. I honestly thought there was going to be a revolt against him that I'd be reading about the next day (didn't happen, or I didn't hang…

There is no better example right now than Atlanta, and what they are doing for both the Braves and the Falcons. Not one, but two arguably unnecessary entirely new stadiums!

Poor bastard. Really makes me wish AZ had pulled off that Super Bowl against PITT, knowing that he's never getting there again. I also hoped the Vikings would sign him, and dump Jennings.

I'm no scientist...but it's a surface area equation, and I am positive that drinks don't water themselves down like they do from the normal cubes my freezer makes. I also think they're more dense - those big cubes are basically murder weapon projectiles did you want them to be.

The guy who played Prop Joe died...

I know it is stupid and ridiculous to get excited about ice cube trays, but those things rule - and I say that at someone who has a fridge with a built-in and fully functioning ice maker. Two of those in a pint glass will take well over an hour to melt.

For separate reasons, international connections through Miami are miserable, because they have the slowest and most disorganized immigration counters in the entire USA. So, watch out for that and build an extra hour (literally) into what you think you need to make your connection. There are some long walks in that…

I would love nothing more than for HBO to cancel Real Time With Bill Maher, replace it with a weekly show that Jon Stewart hosts, and then book-end with Last Week Tonight on Sunday nights. I think that the overall RT format (panel style) is good and Stewart would mesh well with it, and since it is only weekly it…
