I agree with your basic point — just think about the fact that there are other people in the world who have their own problems, and stop making yours theirs. But that said, every time you drive you see about 4 crashes? Whereabouts do you live so I can avoid it?

This one’s in scenic southwest philadelphia:

I just looked at the poll results and at the moment, there are 107 nice price votes. Who are you people? Come out and explain yourselves!

Assuming they haven’t changed it since 3-4 years ago, it’s Cole Hamels.

As far as I know, the others aren’t ready. It’s not so much that they’re getting an extended look as they’re marking time till they’re replaced.

Dan, I’ve been reading your stuff since back when you used to write Philadelphia Will Do. I’m glad you’re repping Philadelphia on Deadspin.

Yes but the Phillies only hired a stats guy two years ago. They had no idea about that stuff back then.

Here’s what I can tell you, and you can believe me or not: if you try to eat spicier food than you’re used to, you will get used to it. Unless you are allergic to capsaicin, the only barrier to you handling spicy food is just dealing with it for a while. There’s no need to start with the salsa in this post. Just…

+1 truly excellent work.

FYI your math parentheses are a little screwy. It’s not $20,635 -($835 x .03), it’s ($20,635 - $835) * .03.

Paul Giammatti tried to get a hoke mosely TV series going a couple years ago but it wasn’t picked up for some reason.

Same here, I was forced to be in marching band in order to be in concert band. I didn’t love it.

Only problem I have with beef tongue is that there’s so much of it. It’s like 3 lbs of tongue and since my wife and kids aren’t interested, it’s just a lot to get through.

Speaking of beer shirts, I went to a festival a few years ago and saw a guy wearing a shirt that said, “I’m ashamed what I do for beer.”

Does Founders make a bad beer? Or I should refine my question actually — do they make a less-than-very-good beer? I can't think of one.

I don't get it. This brewery basically ignores you if a woman is present, and despite the owner's apologetic emails nothing changes? So you basically have to start shit to get a drink if your wife happens to be present, and you're equivocating about "meh, it's ok, the beer is good"?

I had been wondering if you'd given up the fast food gig with all the time you've been dedicating to the beer lately. I'm glad to see you haven't. Regarding the cheese on fast food conundrum - I don't know when the last time you ordered a fast food burger without cheese was, but I can tell you that in that context,…

I'd say it's craft beer's name-your-beer-something-silly tradition that's devolving into self-parody, not the column. Will isn't naming them, he's just drinking them.

It' snot like it's never been done before...
