They didn’t get roasted for it at the time. The only team that got roasted was the Twolves and KAHN for picking 3 point guards in the first round. Curry was actually thought of as being too small, and was from a small school.

I came to the comments to say almost exactly this. Bachelor Farmer is really good, but Butcher and the Boar is fantastic. I’ve only been once (that shit is expensive), and I had the pork chop. It was the best goddamn pork chop I’ve ever had.

One minor quibble, I imagine Tomsula pronounces the word “warsh.” As in “Jim don’t warsh down there.”

Bachelor Farmer is good. Have to shout out Butcher and the Boar, too. Two of my fave MPLS restaurants. A hidden gem of a food town in general

It always made me laugh in college when the first sub-65 day in September all the girls would be walking masses of swaddling coats, but the first day over 35 in March they’d be back in miniskirts and uggs.

My old roommate and I summed up the main theme of all of Bud Lite’s marketing once, and it’s amazing how true they’ve stayed to it over the years. Basically the idea is not just that people love Bud Lite, but that it’s an incredibly scarce resource. Which means that the prospect of getting Bud Lite trumps all things,…

Per #3, I hate these bros so much. So tough buddy! Until some emergency happens and you get frostbite.

1. Fuck the cold. Humans come from Africa, not Siberia. It’s a stupid marvel that we have adapted to survive in below freezing temps. I survived half my life in North Dakota and Wisconsin and I never want to go back.

Going to college in Minnesota, I always got a kick out of how every year without fail, in October when it got to 30 degrees it felt cold as fucking balls and then in February/March if it got to 25 degrees, it felt like balmy t-shirt weather. Every year the body would adjust and every year the body would forget.…

Dude, Bud Selig is a hall of famer.

so you are certain that no massive cheaters have been elected? how about managers who directly benefitted from the massive cheating?

“- Safety - If you read travel blogs, most crimes that happen to tourists are crimes of theft, usually in the form of pickpockets, who are criminals of opportunity. If you look like a tourist, you will more likely be targeted, than if you look like someone on business. A good sports coat, helps one blend in,…

To me, the biggest issue is marketing. The game has so many good young stars right now and the league does a piss poor job of promoting them. Would the average person know who Francisco Lindor or Carlos Correa is if they saw them walking down the street? Probably not. They’d sure as hell recognize someone like Lebron…

It’s not really about how long the games take as much as the pace of the games. If a game lasted over three hours but was played at a quick pace, people would be okay. It’s all those moments when it takes five minutes for a pitcher to pitch to just one batter because both the pitcher and hitter take too long to get…

The players are definitely going to strike. It’s the only leverage they have left.

My guess is this is being done in an exceptionally aggressive way to deflect from the much bigger fight to come over money. But even then, they’ve been talking about this for years without bothering to just enforce the rules that already exist. The home plate umpire can already charge a too-slow pitcher with a ball.…

My first reaction was ‘this is stupid, leave the game alone’. Then I remembered the John Lackey experience from the most recent post-season. My final answer: ban John Lackey, skip the pitch clock.

I was a twelve year old at that Vikings vs Giants game in helga horns and a Randy Moss jersey. I uhhhh did not have a good time

I like Mike Tomlin but really, is there any coach in football who stubbornly sticks to his guns as much as this man does when he makes a glaring coaching fuck-up?

Who the fuck wants to watch basketball?
