If you’re carrying a towel, front and centre makes it easier to grab with either hand, and it’s still accessible when you’re sitting down. It’s just the most practical location.

Sure! If you have to slow it down and measure it with lasers, it’s probably not a sufficient advantage to warrant on offside call. That’s less interpretation than a ref currently makes on nearly every tackle, but do go on about how impossible it is.

And if a receiver commits a holding infraction on the other side of the field from a running play, the refs will usually let it go because the penalty is not affecting the play. It’s a judgement call that is made all the time.

I understand the sentiment - the spirit of Offside rules are to prevent an unfair advantage from being gained, and on plays like this no significant advantage has been gained. Judging from the size of her feet, she was maybe 8 inches or so offside, with a defender moving back and the player standing still. The call is…

Hi there! Regional slang question: What is a hard fart? Is it a difficult fart, like a “this might be shit” fart? Is it a really smelly fart? Is it a fart that won’t go away, just hanging in the air for far too long?

You cook tomatoes on the vine? That seems like a lot of work.

A 20 yard out is not a Hail Mary

Is it still a Hail Mary if, say, Jay Fiedler throws it?

Not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but your position as stated is based on faith.

After Harold Ballard, the universe must have figured you’d suffered enough. Either that, or it tried to give you Eugene Melnyk and missed.

Thank you. Thank you for this... this gem. Made my day.

My parents were always together, but my dad was largely absent when I was a kid. I mean, he was home, but he was always working, reading something or otherwise occupied. I used to be pretty angry about it, but as I got older I learned that he was just a dude that was crazy stressed about money and providing for his…

Reminds me of an old friend of mine, Charles Carlos.

Yes, it’s super natural when you’re bumped on the hip in mid-air to do the splits. It happens all the time! He definitely wasn’t kicking a leg out to draw a foul. Klay Thompson is a man of honour and great esteem, and is surely above such petty chicanery.

I’ve seen a lot of hip checks, but that’s the first one that “made” a guy do the splits. He got bumped, flailed, and hurt himself.

Those who feel bullied feel controlled, and so they mistake bullying for control. It’s why some people seek out aggressive political leaders - they want someone who will talk tough on their behalf. But it’s almost always empty bluster, a useless show that frequently does more harm than good. But it does feel good, for…

And his “analytical” family probably means critical; that’s why “it’s surprising he exists.” His dickish communication style is probably learned.

I’m assuming “tough” means “able to tolerate my unearned arrogance and condescension without acting hurt.”

I get why Wehner openly hates on hot dogs like that, but he should lay off the dead grandpa. What about his Uncle Tom?
