Terrific. I made it through the entire article with only a brief thought to how the divisions would realign, ready to get back to work, and then you go and actually spell it out. And now I’m going to have to get out pen and paper and spend the afternoon putting a new league together, too. Sorry Boss, those reports are

Watched all 6 1/2 hours and 18 innings of the longest game in Royals history in June 1991. Also gained a newfound respect for my grandfather who countered questioning glances from other family members with a simple, “We paid to see the game, and we are going to stay until it’s over.”

If that’s not the look of a team that is about to score exactly 1 FG in the first 4:33 of overtime of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, I don’t know what is.

Had this same conversation at work yesterday. Two coworkers discussing the interview and wondering “why this is such a big deal now....it never used to be...but I guess we live in different times now.”

I completely understand (and even respect) your point and your view of the commercial (especially about the utter lack of diversity in that construction crew), even if I disagree with the final analysis. My larger fear is this: if we get bogged down in parsing every single frame of video or syllable of speech in hopes

Now playing

I am as liberal as anyone. I wish I had a dollar for every time each day that I muttered ‘fucking Trump’ in an exasperated sigh. That said, “Made in America” has been around a lot longer than 45's new “America First” circle jerk slogan, and this is unfortunately what modern, industrial construction looks like. I

That is awesome! Man, I have been jealous of a wide variety of things in my life - cars, houses, the ability of other men to grow decent beards - but I never considered that such melancholy could grow form the thought, “Shit, why couldn’t my grandma have a cool-ass name like ‘Hot Shot’?”

I grill because I like to feel like I’m cooking out in the great wide open like our forefathers! I choose gas to avoid the murderous rage that wells up in me when my kids give me the stink eye because their burger has the faintest hint of pink or when my wife sighs loudly because it’s 6:07 and I said the meat would be

I would have bought that drumette loving dude a beer! More flats for me! I know this will out me as a wing poseur, but I can’t stand the non-uniform nature of the drums. Every other one is like 78% gristle and tendons. I much prefer the reliable uniformity of the flat.

For real?! I’m smack dab in the middle of fly-over country, so pardon my naiveté, but are you really paying almost $20 for one ticket to see one movie. Do you get an assistant producer credit for that sort of investment? My local Cinemark is only $8.50, so I thought $11.50 down in the city was bad.

You know it is a good highlight when your first thought is simply, “That’s not real.”

Chris Kattan on ‘roids.

Oklahoma has a professional basketball team and two semi-pro college football teams. That being said, I grant you that it may be a close race (especially if Oklahomans are going to Iowa City for Spring Break).

Just had this discussion a few weeks back. I’ve got to believe that Iowa is the least visited state (and I’ve lived here for 40 years). May it please the court:

Dear sweet baby Jesus, people are worried about standing versus sitting to wipe when there are people reusing toilet paper (and only 3 squares!) for a second wipe!?! What kind of Grapes of Wrath depression-era rationing madness is that?!

I just wanted to bask in the warm glow of the Kansas win, and you go and bring that up. Now all I can see are images of Peter Jok hitting jumper after jumper after jumper. Are you happy?

As an Iowa State grad (and certified homer), I gotta take issue with “played like butt for the majority of the season.” The Clones have 8 losses on the year, 5 of which came against this week’s #1, #2, #3, #7, and #14 teams in the country. Have they been underwhelming at times, sure. Up and down for the majority of

I don’t know what to make of this, but are we just going to let that last email get away with ‘bumber’ crop? Perhaps it’s my agrarian roots crying out to sooth my flyover country, red-state, Trump-voting fuckery; but I’ve got to assume that if the earlier post would have mentioned ‘bumber’ stickers, Drew would have

Am I such a prude that the only thing I remember after reading that was: He puts a used condom in his pocket like it’s no big deal!!
