I have only lived in the area for a few years, and you're right, Eli's BBQ is the shiznittlebam snip snap sack! BBQ is one of the only foods I take seriously, to the point of sometimes being a snob about it. What Skyline and Gold Star sell is not chili, it's some hybrid between soup and spaghetti littered with neon…

Here are some tidbits from Rick Steiner's lesser publicized interview with Modern Dog Magazine on the issue:

Sam has not played one down in the league, yet somehow a lot of people seem to already know he's only a "marginal" player. The same recurring theme refers to him being a 7th round pick as their proof. Just a few notable NFL players picked in the 7th round or later: Shannon Sharpe, Richard Dent, Terrell Davis, Donald…

Well said, and your assessment about the PGA Tour continually going all in on Tiger coming back to bite them is spot on in my opinion. I don't blame them for capitalizing on his massive popularity, and trying to piggyback new fans from it. But if he continues to struggle, I believe you will see more promotion by the…

Tiger is far and away the most popular player, but to say 99% of people who watch golf only care about Tiger is nonsense. If you would have said 99% of casual golf fans, I would completely agree; but the hardcore golf fans - yes, they exist - just want to watch good golf. The PGA Tour's motto is "These guys are good,"…

I thought Gordon got busted for weed, not crack cocaine?

Yes, much like you are Homo sapien-ish.

I want a Dark Tower series to get picked up by HBO so friggin bad. There has been so much talk about adapting these books onto either the big or small screen, and all of it has fallen apart. With the popularity of GoT, you'd think someone would take a chance on what could be a great series if done right. And yeah,…

Yes, it absolutely makes me feel superior to you. Plus, I can only achieve an orgasm now by genre bashing on the Internet.

Since when did speaking the truth equate to being mad?

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Why don't you try listening to some real country artists like James McMurtry, Hayes Carll, or Ryan Bingham for instance, and see how many of their lyrics revolve around this drivel. Not every country singer these days feel the need to appeal to the lowest common denominators, or sell…

If Greg Oden was a Targaryen, his name would be Peter B. Dragon.

I would say I'm surprised how much I like the TV adaptation of Fargo; but with FX's track record lately of awesome shows, it would be more of a surprise if it wasn't good.

Probably because, as George Carlin once said, "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

I had to move to Ohio for a job, and coincidentally I have the same reaction that fan did when people tell me Cincinnati chili is good.

I actually have a forty something year-old brother who perfectly fits your description of Ted's traits, but I still talk to him. After falling in love about 500 times, he's now married to a raging, bipolar bitch with a pill addiction because she got knocked up. Which is still funnier than the show's series finale.
