Extremely dumb question: would putting some sort of cushioning on the outside of the helmet, while keeping essentially the same shell underneath, potentially reduce head injuries? People would still get concussions and the like, but it would at least increase the surface area of contact, which I imagine would help.

I always hear: “You don’t make moves to make the playoffs, you make moves to win a world series.”  If sneaking into the playoffs can end up in a world series appearance, this phrase is bullshit, right?

His name is Ronald.

You forgot Planet Pat!

It does feel like 90% of movies are either superhero, rom-com, shitty horror, or Pixar. At least Tarantino is making something different, even if people want to shit on it.

I think that’s actually the point of Once Upon a Time. From AV Club’s Katie Rife:

As to whether the daily Starbucks folks will begin making their daily coffee/lattes at home, there’s no way.  The daily trip to Starbucks for people like my mom has become so ingrained in her routine that she decides where to stay while she’s on vacation based on proximity to Starbucks.

I generally agree, but the Stanton bean was not only unintentional, the catcher was also set up low and inside. The pitch clearly got away from Fiers in a bad way, and he was shook up afterwards.

The players qualifying for supermax deals are already stars with major endorsements. By the time they qualify for a supermax deal, rings are understandably more important to some players than a slightly better salary.  Hell, the rings are probably more valuable in terms of upping their endorsement deals than the…

The prison metaphor is pretty powerful. I’ve also heard stories similar in tone from ex-military trying to work a desk job after multiple tours.

Wasn’t that kick tipped anyways?  Clark the Bear dick n’ balls?

I’ve never thought of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri or Kansas as the “Midwest.”

Only trailing by 3, it puts the tying run on deck with one out.  Pathetic.

Coach Bud did a fantastic job of getting away from the long 2's that plagued the Bucks in the 2017-2018 season, but the players started passing the ball instead of taking quality mid-range jumpers. Middleton seemed like the only player who didn’t hesitate taking a good 15-footer.

Greek yogurt?

Both should clearly be pitching, but Kimbrel remaining unsigned seems crazy.  Is he asking for a billion dollars?  His career numbers are ridiculous, and isn’t a stocked bullpen considered to be one of the single biggest assets that a World Series contender can have?  I’m probably not looking at his FuBWAR+ deviation…

Giannis was rattled last night, and the airball free throw didn’t help matters. Middleton raked (30 points on 11-15 shooting) but the bench was largely ineffective. Brogdon went 2-11 from the field!  I expect the Bucks to bounce back at home on Thursday.

Our Monday through Friday commute is about 45 minutes, and our 12-month-old sleeps most of the trip in her carseat. On the weekends, we might travel just 10 minutes to our local grocery store, then click the carseat into our stroller and allow her to continue napping for 30 minutes or so while we shop.  How is the…

I’m not going to beat a dead horse here, but people drink at home before going to the bar, and also bar hop. The idea that bartenders begin serving all of their customers at .000% BAC is totally false, and some people can be VERY intoxicated without others knowing.
