Interesting article, but you guys should do a better job of covering LeBatard's tracks. He's off the record for a reason.

I'm disappointed: If any article today were going to be ruined by gore and porn, I'd think it would be this one.

Always keep arugula close. Mix with anchovy paste, avocado, and lemon juice; or grated parmesan, lemon juice, dash of salt and ground pepper; or mix with cooked pasta and chili flakes; or use as a bed for steak Florentine; or . . .

Isn't this basically divesting the NCAA of its responsibilities for when students finally get paid? They can now say that the schools who are most likely to have to pay athletes can set the terms of that payment, and it's not on the NCAA as an organization to tell that school what to do.

Good lord

Most salient point anyone could possibly make about this.

Did you mean saddest and most depressing movie of all time? I STILL can't watch it; it's just too oppressive. The scene where the clown sees everything destroyed and just obviously can't cope? The end where the dog's love just up and leaves him for no reason? GOD DAMN IT, that movie still haunts me.

So this could be a state by state issue, because when I worked in Chicago, I was told outright that it's illegal for restaurants to charge their servers the credit fees. Chicago's generally pretty friendly to restaurant workers though.

This could be my outer hipster talking, but I've got a soft spot for Lone Star.

Thank you for giving me a calm, rational response, unlike some folks above. I had enough trouble paying attention to the farm team when I actually followed the Cubs, let alone now. Didn't realize his fielding was so shoddy.

I didn't realize exaggeration was so hard to grasp. Sorry about that!

I've been avoiding following the Cubs because I don't hate myself as much as I used to, but I'm curious about Castro. The last time I checked, 5 errors in one game wasn't outlandish for him. Has he become that much better of a shortstop that a natural fielder is going to second instead of his natural position?

Whoosh

This isn't a block story necessarily, but I'm lonely and want to join the party.

These are unequivocally the highlight of my preseason. You're doing the lord's work, Drew.

The only part you got wrong is his beer; Peter King only drinks beers that look and taste like pina coladas.

I'm an inveterate nail chewer, of both finger and toe, but there is nothing that feels as good as pulling out a big ol' half-dried booger, where you legitimately breathe better after it's out.

I'm dying to know which breweries you hadn't heard of before. As a semi-snob from the midwest, I figure New Glarus would be the most obvious choice to have never heard of, but a lot of the others have nationwide distribution or famous names at the very least.

She's a professional too, right? Self defense is self defense. His wife, who looks to be about a quarter of Ray Rice's size, is not even in the same weight class as Ronda Rousey, and certainly doesn't have the same training.
