I didn’t play the video, but as a Red Sox fan I want to remember the days when Roger Clemens and Wade Boggs were still my heroes. Looking back I can only think of them now in pinstripe uniforms. They are dead to me.

The Ravens are doing it wrong. You’re supposed to convert empty seats to storage closets and brag about how you sell out every game. https://deadspin.com/dan-snyder-removes-thousands-of-seats-from-fedex-field-1708455188

Came here to read about an oddly-named cenote. Was severely disappointed.

Malcolm Butler hopes the same will be true about him, but when I think of those guys, I think of the play.

Jags O-line has been performing above expectations. Gotta give them some of that credit. Sometimes hard to evaluate QB talent without considering who’s protecting them.

This tidbit seemed buried. Very cool.

Long read. Gripping.

We’re thankful for the unity in Congress [the vote was divided along party lines] that has presented an opportunity for our economy to expand so that we can fight the corrosive debt [CBO estimates that the tax bill adds over $1.4 trillion with a “t” to the deficit over 10 years] that has been destroying our future.

Did he swallow the bat in one gulp? Where did it go????

Knicks really reaching for bulletin board material. “Guys, if we somehow manage to eke our way into the top 8 in the Eastern Division, some authoritarian leader will have a really bad day until we get knocked out in the first round probably by a team from Canada or one with leprechauns on their jerseys. Now, let’s go…

Unless his name is Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho 

D-SPAN! Has anyone seen him in the same room as actor Kevin Hanchard? Wondering if they are two different people.

They will still be the rays and marlins, in fact, literally.

I’m with you here. I always thought that overly generous stadium tax giveaways were municipalities selling out. That’s why many DC residents/taxpayers were secretly hoping the Expos franchise would land in Northern Virginia so they could still go to games and root for the home team, while not subsidizing a stadium…

Terry Crews already served. He’s term limited.

I was really hoping for an Indian name. There are so many beautiful Indian names and it’s a good way for those who assimilate culturally to keep a link to their ancestry. I get that “Mindy Kaling” changed her name for Hollywood. Her real last name Chokalingam doesn’t translate so well into American context (especially…

One of our city little league divisions in DC is named after Mamie Johnson. http://www.mjlldc.org/

Agreed. My son came up in little league with female teammate who was a natural ballplayer, hard worker, accurate pitcher, keen batter, best on the team of all boys, and now she is 13 and already running out of options.

Belichick was quoted in the story as saying “Someone get this motherfucking snake off this motherfucking plane.”

This is an obnoxious article. We don’t eat out a lot. It’s expensive. Babysitters are expensive. A lot of times we take the kids to dinner for us, not for them. We make them try what we have. They complain. We force them to take a bite or two, then we call a truce and let them eat plain pasta that didn’t cost $24…
