Bless you for that.

I’ve had situations where I’ve yelled at an Amazon rep for what I perceived was poor service. I forgot there was a human being on the other end of the line. After reading this, I’m ashamed, and will try very hard never to do that again.

I hope Amazon fixes this. There’s no reason Amazon can’t pay people a real wage.

Whenever I hear “torn quad”, I think of the Triple H injury in 2001 on live RAW, where you could see the muscle just roll up the back of his leg like a horror movie yo-yo. Just EW.

By the way, it took Trips a full year to come back from that. And that’s in pro wrestling. I’d be shocked in DeMarcus is back before the

“So it was here, as Tiger watched the putt go in, lingered on it for just a split second to make sure it wouldn’t somehow pop back out, gave a modest version of his ceremonial fist pump, and THEN reveled in the moment.”
And that’s EXACTLY what happened. He was so tight trying to stay in that perfect zone, and if he had

I don’t think I’ve seen a human being happier than when he won today. Good for him.

That’s kind of my problem. On the one hand, I’d never condone a guy abusing a woman ever. On the other hand, Wendy Williams is not a nice person. I hope she gets through this okay as a fellow human being, but is it wrong to think this is karma?

I’m the son of a union guy. When my dad passed, his ex-wife got survivorship benefits from his pension. It was something agreed to and bargained for.

Just remember- for that union to get that, they probably had to give something else up. If Pat Summit had been married, no one would blink if the benefit had passed to

Not that sketchy, depending on how much she paid into the benefit. She retired in 2012 as a coach and died 4 years later, but probably paid into the system since 1974. That benefit was part of her salary. And while she ended up making over $2 million per year at the end of her run, at the start she made less than $10K

What the hell happened in image 6 of the second set? I mean...what the hell? 

If we only ventured in things with no chance of failure, what would be the fun in that?

I’m in NJ, so I’m not on your route, but I’m rooting for you. Your instagram updates are fascinating. I’m not a wrencher at all- the closest I get to building things is when I buy something from Ikea. But I’ve learned from watching

Hey Albert, don’t forget that, in that 2011 draft, they easily could have drafted Kemba Walker and Tobias Harris instead.

I haven’t seen the segment, but did HBO or John Oliver disclose the network’s relationship with WWE, as they made the Andre the Giant doc in cooperation with Bill Simmons’ The Ringer operation and the WWE?

(And John Oliver is 100% correct in stating that the wrestlers should not be independent contractors, and there’s

The dealer bit put it into CP for me. Something just seems off. If it’s a decent commuter car with a bit of work, why would it be THAT low at a dealer? I suspect there’s more here than we know.

I’m a Hyundai owner, and up until my last purchases, I was relatively happy with Hyundai. I’m not as happy with my ‘14 Sonata and Elantra; they’ve both run into weird problems, and I think my purchases will be with a different brand.

But I saw the Equus in the showroom when it came out, and if it weren’t for the

I’m a guy with a math degree who used to read Bill James’s abstracts regularly, but the obsession with analytics over talent and personality has driven me from the game. I’m happy to sit at my local Lakewood Blue Claws game for an evening for $10, but that’s about it.
