Best wishes to Mike. I’ve loved reading his articles for many years now.

You know you’ve got an old-school D&Der in your group when you see a character throw some rations in front of every treasure chest.

Except that’s exactly what 99% of the UT fans were upset about.

My grandfather, bless him, was born in 1898. He’s been gone for a while, but he was something else. I never saw the man without him having a thousand dollars in cash (usually in hundreds, but he would occasionally have two $500 bills or a $1000 bill, back when they were still in circulation) and a pistol on him, even

I agree with every bit of this.

Skiing slalom with paintball guns and targets. Bonus points if the targets shoot back.

OH, Geez. Bruise Violet. I freaked LOVED Babes in Toyland. It always burned me up that everything Courtney Love ever did musically, she ripped it off from Babes after they kicked her out, yet she still got famous because she was married to Cobain when he died. Kat Bjelland was a total vocal badass. I was entirely in

So it’s taken, what, over thirty, thirty-five years for them to ALMOST match the high quality of the first generation Transformers they put out when I was a girl?

Thank you for this article. It immediately made my day better.

You’re not the only one, Doc. It’s been a long, terrible last year, but we as a nation finally have a shining spark of hope. Thank you, Eagles, for finally putting the Pats in a spot they couldn’t cheat their way out of. (I do understand that the Pats have outplayed and outcoached plenty of teams legitimately. That

The truth that women have faced an uphill battle in pretty much every industry has nothing to do with the fact that she screwed up ethically, and her trying to play it that way speaks pretty loudly by itself. This kind of behavior galls me to no end, because it detracts from the seriousness of real bias and

I was about to say the only reason why Fox Sports has ignored this story is that they are not and never have been interested in reporting news, only advancing a political agenda. But that factoid about them signing a $150 million contract with Michigan St in 2016 has made me think there’s a second reason as well.

Why is no one trying to start a legit women’s professional football league where they get to wear real uniforms?

This.

Interestingly enough, I’ve had both the nervous habit kind of leg bouncing and the restless leg version, and for me there is a BIG difference between them. With the more typical bouncing, it’s definitely something that I tend to do out of habit when I’m sitting around focusing on something else (although I tend to do

Totally with you here. I’m glad that Rian Johnson made the movie he did instead of New Hope 3.0. TLJ was original and it thumbed its nose at our expectations while delivering a ton of original ideas. Not all of them worked, but enough did to make it a damn good Star Wars movie.

I’m from Tennessee and cannot STAND the rebel flag. The Confederate flag might have stood for something different in the past, but for the last forty years at least, it’s stood for being bigots, racists and rednecks, and it needs to go the f*** away.

The ONLY good things that have come out of this shitshow are getting rid of Currie, finally hiring Fulmer as AD (as should have been the case years ago) and showing that at least some people in Tennessee have enough integrity and courage to stand up and make their voices heard when they see something going terribly

One of the best AYSO games I ever coached was a U8 girls game where I had told the parents of both sides that they weren’t allowed to yell ANYTHING. They WERE allowed to clap and cheer. This was done due to a pattern of escalation of nasty comments from a few parents, usually at their own children, and I had reached

Alabama in the playoffs is a complete and utter joke, but it’s par for the course with the NCAA. Alabama has benefited from so much favorable treatment and no-calls on what should have been penalties over the last ten years, it’s no surprise they’ve won as many games as they have.
