Your headline reeks of bad science. No one has a fucking clue why we get one-year spikes in anything. You have fallen victim to the narrative fallacy.

Not only was he a creep, he was also a lousy musician. He spent the better part of 30 years touring alone, relying on local club owners to throw together bands (who didn’t know his songs?) and the results were shit. Who knows how many thousands of people paid good $ thinking they were getting a rock legend when all…

At this precise moment he is healthier and more active than many Americans I know.

25 years an ice hockey official here (just hung up skates recently): I’m wondering about this. Every once in a while a team loses the will to live and goes haywire. In that circumstance you call misconduct penalties any chance you get: sit a kid for 10 min (or in the 3rd pd, send him off) and he tends to chill out.…

A great heuristic to use in housing debates is to watch who uses the expression “neighborhood character” first. That’s the asshole right there.

Thanks for the love, but this relationship is almost halfway done. Year 1: picks team off bottom (check). Year 2: shows dramatic improvement, almost ready to take final step (check). Year 3: this is our year baby! Yet, there will be some dramatic fuck up that denies what is rightfully his (where we are now). Year 4:…

I’m just happy we have a middle-aged Bo Jackson around talking to us. None of us who saw him will ever forget him. Oh, and there’s this:

Guys need something to drive after they murder their ex-wife and some random waiter dude because they feel inadequate. Ford is on the job.

In 2009 we could have rented two bedrooms in our house for huge $$ (tell the kids to throw some sleeping bags on the floor in the basement, we’re talking college tuition money here).

If George Michael had been an athlete, a scout would have described him as having “all the tools, but no tool box.” His talent was incredible, and undeniable, yet undone by long periods of bad judgment and mental illness. Dig up the old video of the Freddie Mercury tribute concert from 1992 and you can see he was the…

The NCAA and its member institutions sure get all law-and-order when it’s (1) a female and (2) a non-revenue sport involved in any incident of questionable judgment.

The doping in triathlon is at the AG level. Interest in the sport is far deeper than it is wide. We have successful, wealthy participants who attach incredible significance to qualifying for Kona and then racing well there. Combine that with financial resources and the sky is the limit.

Tesla alone is now selling 25k vehicles per quarter, and that number is only going up. The Model S crushes its competition from Audi, BMW, even Mercedes. Yeah, I know it’s only one niche (compared to Ford selling 500k F series dinosaurs per year), but it’s a question of ‘when’ not ‘if’ at this point.

Everyone in hockey knows dudes in their 60s and 70s who still put their skates on for shinny or beer-league with their boys at the local rink. Football players in their 60s or 70s playing touch down at the park? Next one I see will be the first.

I got $5 that says fewer than half of the members of the MLBPA have any idea who Curt Flood was; anyone want the other side of that?

Michigan alumn here. We lost this game (as opposed to OSU winning it), AND we got fucked over. Both true. Only question now is who will wipe the field with Ohio State in the playoff?

Has anyone told Mike Ilitch that he actually died in 2006?

You think officials are bad? Wait until a county judge gets her hands on this. Be careful what you ask for here, you might get it.

3.0 liter TDI owner here (2014 Audi A6). We have not been offered squat yet.

“Fear the Turtle” especially if he’s packing.
