Hardee’s ‘roast beef’ is Roy Rogers. Marriott sold the Roy Rogers chain to Hardee’s in 1990; they sold half the stores to other chains and rebranded 80% of the stores they kept as Hardee’s while adopting the most popular menu items, leaving about 50 Roy Rogers-branded stores in regions where it had good market share.

To the guy whose wife won’t charge her phone: buy her a Mophie charge case AND/OR a portable charge pack. Problem solved! I did this to my husband because his phone kept dying and it worked. Until he broke the charger, but whatever.

Yeah, the 85 percent of the country that has no idea what Roy Rogers is or where they’re located.

No reverse jinxes. No fatalism.

“turn off location tracking on your phone if you already have it on, and say “wow, yeah, those things are weird, wonder how that turned off? lemme fix that, is it working for you now?””

Same. My exact words to the salesman as the pen was hovering over the contract were “I bought the car, not your advertisement. Take that off and I sign.” You could see the rage behind his eyes as he had a deal all ready to go and there was a last minute nibble. It was glorious as he called the prep guys to take it…

“How many people who bought their car had a real great experience buying that car? So much so that you’d voluntarily drive around with an advertisement for that dealership on your vehicle?”

Tape covering the lights is intentional deceit. You might actually have some recourse against the seller. Steve Lehto did a story about a failing transmission with super heavy gear oil to mask the sounds. Intentional deceit supersedes “As-Is”

With Carson Wentz out, I think the Vikings are the favorite in the NFC to get to the Super Bowl. Saints could get the upset but I think you’re right that the Vikings have the best chance against the Pats. Drews tears will be delicious. I hope he doesn’t commit suicide. I enjoy reading his stuff.

This will *NEVER* get old.

Isn’t this literally what the Fantastic Beast movies are? The first one was pure tripe and the next one has Johnny Depp playing Wizard Hitler so I’m not holding my breath on it being much better.

Agreed. They will as soon as you make it an 8 team playoff. A few years ago people were arguing that nobody cared who the fifth best team was and four would be plenty. Heck, basketball is a different sport but people argue about who the 69th (nice) best college basketball team is.

Holy shit! Kaepernick plays defense too now?!

Kaepernick was borderline awful the last time he started. The Packers had a guy they wanted to get some reps in Rodgers’ absence. They figured they could weather the storm and still make the playoffs like they’ve done previously. They figured wrong. As a lifelong Bears fan, I hate the Packers. But signing Kaepernick…

You would be doing god’s works, that’s for sure.

Lauren, send some Deadspin staffers to do some investigative journalism. Pull the fire alarm and see if he makes it out on foot.

IDGAF. There’s a touchless wash near me that works awesome. Plus it’s got the undercarriage wash which is awesome at keeping the salt and shit off the frame and body.

Yeah, but facts fuck up the narrative.
