Clearly someone’s a fan of 1980s NWA wrestling...

Yeah, this is what I don’t get. I’m no athlete, and in opening hundreds of bananas in my life, I’ve never failed. My 6 year old, who’s kind of a lazy shit and tries to get mom and dad to do anything moderately challenging, eats a banana every day and has never asked for help in peeling one. I genuinely don’t…

Negative, Dong Writer, the pattern is full.

When I was in college 20+ years ago, I had to attend an event at the last minute that required me to wear a suit. I somehow ended up having a suit at school but no socks that weren’t athletic socks. Had to stop on way to event and the only place open was Nordstrom, where the cheapest pair of dress socks was $22, an…

“Days after the blowup, the Washington Post reported that another summer league coach, who also believed Wootten had been ducking St. Anthony’s, sent out “a team of five year olds” to face DeMatha at Jelleff.”

Thanks for this. When my five year old is being a dick, I will now imagine her being dunked on by Adrian…

The biggie from 2016 that a good number of people would remember is Alexander Rossi (75-1) winning the Indy 500. The key is remembering one other sure thing between Villanova winning the NCAA tournament (18-1) and Rossi, then you’re golden. After that, you’ve got Cubs, Cavs, and Patriots (with the wrinkle that you…

I’ve been there! Summer of 1991, after a full season of high school tennis, a full summer of teaching clinics, and playing on our club’s traveling team, I signed up to play in the club mixed doubles championship with a partner I wanted to score more than tennis points with.

Not to quibble, but Revere’s signature is rolling over the ball and grounding out to the second baseman. Popping up to the infield is more like the B-side. (61 groundouts to 2B v. 51 flyouts of all types per baseball-reference).

The guy in the red circle also is clearly looking down at someone/something in the vacant space, and he would’ve clearly seen the beer being thrown because the wind-up would’ve gone right by his head. In the first photo, the guy in the black/gray hoodie is also looking down at someone/something in that same location.…

Yeah, this is absurd. I always thought Evander Holyfield was the poster child for the ridiculousness of applying BMI to athletes. This pic is from the second Bowe/Holyfield fight. 6'2" Evander weighed in at 217 so was probably carrying 225-230 in the fight, meaning he was definitely overweight and probably obese…

Several years ago, my cancer-stricken mother was moved by ambulance to hospice care to live out her final days. That very night, a neighbor, who must have seen my mom being transported, broke in to her house and stole everything of value he could find. I figured out who it was because he used one of her credit cards…

No doubt about that, and no defense of Snyder intended. Just didn’t think a writer should pretend a major part of the fan base doesn’t exist.

“People living in DC proper—a legitimately fantastic city—give half a shit about the Skins....”

Sorry, but this is the whitest take in the history of takes, and must come from someone who’s never been east of Capitol Street (and no, Nats Park doesn’t count). There are a lot of people living in DC proper that don’t live…

FWIW, it’s not a single companion ticket, it’s a companion pass — every Southwest flight he takes from now until the end of next year he can take a companion along for free. Potentially dozens of free tickets for $390.

Jennifer Mayers’ Worst Nightmare

Actually we don’t even know that the driver didn’t see the truck, let alone why. He’s dead, Tesla has no idea what he did or did not see. It’s entirely possible the driver saw the truck and trusted autopilot to react, perhaps even thought it was a “good test” of the system.

Trying to be a better person, so edited to follow the golden rule...

So this is a story about a kid who used to spend his time after school playing basketball until his mom relocated him to live with relatives in a wealthier neighborhood to keep him out of trouble.

Kudos to the USA Today writer who managed to work in the line “His world, while undeniably safer, had been flipped upside…

I remember watching the Stan Fox wreck as a kid, and was so happy he made it through that I asked my parents to help me send him a “get well soon” card, which I assume we sent through his race team. About six months later I got a handwritten letter from Stan Fox thanking me for the card and talking about how excited…

I agree with your premise that the most important factor is your individual circumstances at a given point in time.

But can we please stop perpetuating the myth that “When you buy a home, you pay for things you don’t have to pay for as a renter: loan interest, property taxes, insurance, and even maintenance and…
