Great article Dom, thank you.
Given his incredible control, and the ability under their rules for the kicking team to line players up onside who can legally recover punts, if I owned a CFL team I might try to tempt him up north. They could pull plays like this all day:
In the CFL, if the ball is kicked into the end zone and not returned out of it (or kicked back out of it, since you can punt from open field play), the kicking team scores one point. It’s a fun rule–makes punts and kickoffs more strategically interesting, and occasionally produces joyful nonsense like this, where a…
“Secretary Clinton, would you advocate for defending the US from incoming missiles using a Laser Show?”
Lester Holt:
And all I’m after is a few more 2004-esque comebacks. Doing it to the Indians or Tigers is great, but it’s not quite the same.
Cheers man. I’m a Sox fan, but I wan’t the Yankees to be good, it’s more fun when the rivalry is evenly matched and the team push each other.
Only if the Metal Band is Opeth.

Do they all think they can make a killing shorting treasuries?
There’s a place near me (actually, two adjacent warring places with identical menus–long story) which has a thing that is called “home fries” but is actually a creamy mashed potato cake, crispy on the outside with little bits of bell pepper and onion and herbs in it. Getting that instead of sad bland potato chunks was…
Co-signed. And 9 to 5 is basically the Communist Manifesto with a catchy tune. It never fails to make me smile that she managed to make that a hit country song.
I still think my favorite video game music moment ever is the ride to your ranch in Red Dead Redemption when you finally get to go home.
I was waiting for someone to mention Morricone. Ecstasy of Gold may be the most rousing piece of music ever written.
I’m still an Ennio Morricone fanboy. It’s impressive enough to crete a grand, sweeping, legendary film score with a big budget and an entire orchestra at your disposal. To do it with a guitarist, a flautist/ocarina player, a guy with a snare drum, half a dozen singers, some sound effects, and a string quartet for like…
I’m in favor of letting PED users in regardless, It’s also far less clear-cut in Ortiz’s case. He didn’t fail a punitive test. He didn’t get reported by anyone. The league did a round of anonymous, exploratory testing to work out a baseline before setting regulations, and then those results got leaked six years after…
You do have to feel for Ben Cherington a bit–one imagines if Porcello and Ramirez had looked even kind of like this last year, he’d still have his job. Not that I’m not quite happy with Dombrowski.
Actually, I'm probably the right person to ask, since I think I would quite possibly do it given the right circumstances, although I seriously doubt I'm good enough to play at that level. I was the backup keeper for my high school team and absolutely loved playing the position, but wasn't good enough to do it in…
I think you’ll have a posse if you want one.
There's a thought!
