There is an acceptable use of american cheese and it is: melted between two slices of fried, buttered white bread, cut on the diagonal, and dipped into a tomato- and/or clam-based soup.

I’m from New England and we didn’t call them “hoagies.” I’ve heard “hoagie” in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

It would be another interesting study of regional terminology to see what parts of the country call Pennsylvania and New Jersey “New England.”

Oh, to be a truck driver hauling scrapple & pork roll up to Minneapolis right now.

Me and every other Vikings fan

A productive worker. I have a union contract that guarantees I get what I earn. A day’s wage for a day’s work is a dignified system that gets me paid a lot more than people who have to debase themselves for scraps at the whim of their employer.

it actually reinforces the point.

I disagree. He’s a loathsome individual but a justice system built on vengeance is no justice system at all.

I think that reinforces the point though — the conversation here should be a lot more nuanced and handled more deftly. I’m in my 30s now and I know how to say no, but pretty much throughout my 20s as I explored my sexuality I consistently ran into situations that I didn’t know how to handle. There’s a lot of pressure…

I agree that a person should always go to a medical professional first, for the reasons you explained. I also just think that it’s ok to have a rationally open mind about certain things if traditional western medicine isn’t working. Now, I’m not saying people go full Tom Brady or Russell Wilson, and I am also just…

When I tore my acl in 2012, I couldn’t extend my leg fully, even after surgery and full recovery. I went to two physical therapists over the course of 4 months who couldn’t get my leg to extend fully, and the doctor who performed the surgery didn’t have a “scientific” answer for why it wouldn’t extend beyond some…

That is an excellent point. Going into this game I’m sure the New England Patriots were going to give it maybe 75%. I mean there’s a lot of pressure to win, and Belichick runs a pretty tight ship, but it gets cold sometimes and it’s late in the year, and I would be willing to bet they just aren’t properly motivated.

This is nice, especially all the signs for Williams:

The world needs a Nick Foles vs Blake Bortles Super Bowl.

Steve Kerr and Greg Popovich are unrivaled in the most nuanced, articulate takes in the NBA coaching sphere.

This doesn’t run afowl of KFC’s policies?

The Titans best catch and best block were somehow both performed by Marcus Mariota.

That block was badass. And so was that self-pass TD.

Chief’s pulled a usual playoff choke job... but Derrick Henry ran the ball with authority and Mariota dropped the Block of the Year to ice it. And I’m going to enjoy the win until the next round, haters be damned.

Other than some idle speculation by local media, no one has previously reported anything close to the bit about why the Garoppolo trade happened. Beyond that, the piece sketches out details on things that people only knew about in a general sense beforehand, such as the weird split between Guerrero and the Patriots…
