Didn’t you mean to post this on Splinter?

That’s what I was thinking as I was listening to this. If Rob “Yo Soy Fiesta” Gronkowski can be this articulate, reflective, and emotional while talking about how the basic rules of football can leave you crippled after you’ve won the Super Bowl, perhaps the sport shouldn’t exist anymore.

When even Gronk is smart enough to retire, it’s hard to hold a grudge against Andrew Luck

Curious inquiry because anecdotal evidence from my life is suggesting otherwise. People are buying houses later in life than our parents, but we’re still buying houses. I work in non-profit so not exactly rolling in the dough, but 4 of my coworkers ages 26-33 were all in the market this summer and have since completed…

“Billionaires are going bankrupt subsidizing my Uber ride and that is bad.”

Why is it everytime I read one of Aaron’s articles I have the same response he described in his recent, I Never Knew An Op-Ed Could Be So Stupid article.

This is a lot of words dedicated to a fundamentally broken statistical analysis of a non-random survey of an insignificant sample size and some anecdotal stories.

all the more reason to nationalize—municipalize, I guess—all the electric companies.

Seems shortsighted to me. What’s he going to do without football? Other than his family, tens of millions of dollars, a Stanford education, and relative youth, football was all he had going for him.

“You can’t just peel off the swastikas and pretend nothing happened—that’s not going to help anyone. At the same time, it’s crazy to ignore these cars because of their awful origin stories.”

Nazi memorabilia is important because the Third Reich is quickly slipping from living memory. Durable products from the Nazi regime serve as far more tangible proof of the darkness that existed, than just some black & white photos in a history book.

A house comes to mind.  Not a small one, either.

Click bait headline should read:

I was just driving there a few weeks ago, all over Manhattan and Brooklyn and it really didn’t feel that much different than 15 years ago. More bike lanes with stupid bike only lights was the biggest difference. Those bike only lights are such a bad idea, they are so confusing and I saw multiple drivers blowing them.…

A 1983 Firebird ran in 1989?

At this point, I have no intentions to file any claim,

I’m actually a Hummer sympathizer.

And also, this man is 82 years old and dealing with a car accident; I’d be grumpy, too. I don’t fault him for that.
