A lot of things happen in Texas but I feel confident that no one has ever argued football v. hockey. Unless it's something like, "why are you're going to a Stars game? Don't you know the local middle school has football practice?"

Got cut from Pats practice squad in March. Appears he has taken his talents to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers practice squad.

I'd like to see what advice Thiel followed long before he could write books telling others what to do. That type of advice is somewhat akin to the scene that plays out at graduations all over the country.

You know San Antonio is in Texas, right? And That's sticking to the big 4. The line forms to the left after that with Lubbock running away with it.

Is this about Trent Dilfer? Forgive my confusion, I could never tell those guys apart.

With a veteran QB you went 18-29-1 in the 3 seasons before Dalton's arrival, including two 4-win seasons. Not to mention that the Bengals were essentially irrelevant for the entirety of the decade. In his first 3 years in the League you have gone 30-18, including two 10-win seasons.

Also realize that the price of a glass is usually approx. the retail price of the bottle.

The typical American success story:

Thank you. I thought I was reading a submission to the Paris Review by an author attempting to differentiate himself in the world of literary snobbery by showing he is familiar with sports games.

I like to think he had all of them but the lip tat and someone finally said, "I know you say you're gangster, but are you really?"

Why I love Jalopnik. The Gawker commentariat would be railing against prices at their local independently owned Exxon-branded service station by now.

I always thought that was a Houston thing. Chamillionaire and the high school lunch room led me astray.

People near Louisiana just refer to it as Louisiana. When referring to Los Angeles, they say L.A.

Agreed - they were high school sweethearts. Pretty cool.

Thanks - was not aware of that. I know i can do it. I don't do it when I'm not at work - but i'm at work a lot.

Just like the 1998 study that proved most of us are irrational when it comes to money / social standing:

That's because foreign dealers hardly ever have the insane rebates / cash back / etc nonsense that makes it feel like you're getting screwed if you don't haggle aggressively. Sticker and invoice are much more appropriate guideposts for foreign vehicles.

Fellow dippers: do not read this article and say, "I dip way less than that" - a negotiation I have had internally countless times. I am 31 and have dipped moderately but regularly for ~7-8 years. Just took the last one out.

Recent White House transcription:

The shitty owner was the one who sold the future and anything not nailed down for the right of being swept in one World Series. I think Crane is doing things right.
