I play soccer but have never played football, and in soccer the decision to switch from hard ground molded cleats to soft ground studs is a pretty big deal. Changing to a different set of cleats can have a ruinous impact on your touch, so a lot of players (me included) sacrifice traction on a wet field and just wear…

I’ve been in a similar situation where I knew I was going to slide right the fuck through a 4 way intersection and there was nothing I could do about it. I tried to alert the other cars by making as much of a scene as possible - slammed my horn, flashed my highbeams, put on my hazards. It worked - the two cars who had…

How much does it cost to have a mechanic put tires on your car?

Only thing you forgot to add is to put your car in first or second gear when going up hills. That’s the main thing people do not do or think to do if their entire driving existence consisted of starting the engine and putting their automatic transmission vehicle into drive.

Before my fiancee moved in with me I was sans cable for 3 years and it was revelatory. I learned that watching great movies and amazing TV series was a better time investment than random Sox and Celtics games on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. 98% of the time I could find the sports I wanted online or with rabbit ears…

It was a Saturday, so were they not escorting a box of footballs the Mass State Police would have been running speed traps along Morrissey Boulevard, where none of them live, harassing the locals running weekend errands and ruining people’s afternoons one $350 ticket at a time. So yes, this was a much better use of…

Interesting slant to this article. One way to view the incident is another example of referee incompetence and how absurd it was to entrust them to properly store and handle ball pressure gauges. Another way is, “More funny business at Gillette, home of the Patriots, where conspiracies and scandals abound!”

I used to get annoyed with how Jeter tried to call his own balls and strikes by scooting away from the plate on inside pitches and sticking his head in the strike zone on outside pitches. Also, Malik Jackson was 12, 14, and 15 when the Pats won their first three super bowls, and presumably was not a Pats fan growing…

Well, I can’t think of any prop betting websites that let you create groups and submit payments in the US. I wasn’t suggesting alternate payment methods to sustain DFS, just curious why if DFS is considered gambling, state AGs don’t seem to have a problem with ESPNfantasy and CBSfantasy encouraging players to compile…

So question about the states declaring DFS illegal & issuing cease and desists: do they also need to block fantasy sports sites that facilitate the collection of dues?

My mechanic breaks down the bill into parts and labor. Maybe he's just old school, but I thought that was industry standard for mechanics

A lot of what's described here seems like it should fall into the labor category instead of the parts category.

Great post. There have been 8 of them in the last 14 hours. Please work harder at providing me with content to read so that I have something to do other than work. Thanks!

Yeah, he definitely might be on something here.

Can anyone explain to me why he’d rather go to SF and not the Titans? Not just the QB situation, TEN seems to have more talent across the roster

I like both star wars and the patriots and this video is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I feel like this should be a subcategory of its own; having an s/o move into a space you’re used to inhabiting alone is a completely different experience than moving to a new place together. There’s a lot to say on the subject but here’s what I would consider the most important piece of advice: if you’re used to…

The only time I literally rolled my eyes seeing it in the theater for the first time was when Poe flew back in to finish the job and they still had those slow ass stationary cannons that the X wings easily zoomed right past. Like really? This is the third time we’re doing this in ~25 years and either stationary cannon…
