That’s the middle ground...customers should accept the mechanic is an expert and is telling you an honest reason why their part is more expensive than generic off the shelf. Mechanic respects the customer enough to explain what the different prices get the customer.

I remember I went to a meet and greet with former players at Giants stadium a few years ago. Everyone there was in fit trim shape, including former linemen, except for Ottis Anderson. He looked like he ate the rest of the Super Bowl 25 team that he played on (that’s a lesson in exposition for all you aspiring…

The know it all - ism goes both ways. And that’s the problem from the customer’s perspective. Many many many times mechanics don’t really take time to explain anything to a customer, so a customer is left trying to find out whether the part is really worth $250. The solution isn’t that a customer just had trust the…

I absolutely love the concept of apologies in Japanese culture it’s phenomenal to me that the length of the bow and what they are wearing means something. I guess it’s true in America too. We nitpick when someone says “I am sorry IF I offended you” versus “...THAT I offended you,” and the like but the Japanese have it…

Well many of these people are getting paid millions of dollars to hurt themselves by the latter method, while with the former method they are just hurting themselves. I'm pretty sure I could stay off a hover board if I had a multimillion dollar contract.

I can’t believe there was no booth review on that. Let’s be honest. The Chiefs lost the game because they were the worse team. And down 14 no matter how many timeouts you have, there is absolutely no reason you should be huddling up inside the 2 minute warning. But there was at least a half yard between where the ball…

Deceased mode, eventually

I put them at small only because as I said earlier that is the nature of sports. It’s very difficult to have sustained success over “generations.” Especially in a salary cap league. Of course you have the Patriots and steelers as prime counterexamples, so just on numbers, 2 out of 32 teams have been able to maintain…

Of course he will sign new players. The chances they are as dominant as the current stock is small. And that is what sports are all about.

He seems to be doing fine in his life

I’m sure there was some ref call they can blame this on that will keep them interested into next season when the bandwagon fills again. This defense has 3 or 4 more years before the skill guys get old and slow (not counting adderol masked PED fueled extension of prime seasons) so the bandwagon is going nowhere soon.

It's getting harder and harder to convince people (my wife, family members, co-workers, neighbors, strangers) that I'm a fully functioning adult when games like this are coming out.

I got a xbone for xmas and haven’t even got to any of the games that came in my bundle (both tomb raiders, fallout 3 and 4, an AC game not the new one) or arkham knight as I work to finish my PS3 and WiiU backlog. So far I have a $350 sling tv app launcher.

I am not a transformers fan in general so I never picked up that game. But based on the achievements list that was leaked for the Turtles game, is it safe to say that these games (transformers for sure and turtles speculating) are along the lines of the Arkham games? If so I am all in as well.

Nice humble brag :p

If you don’t like cam newton, you’re basically saying you don’t like football. There are basically two fans of football, the ones that like it for the athleticism (think Odell Beckham making acrobatic catches or a QB threading needles and dropping bombs perfectly in stride) or they like it for the physicality (bone…

Do you realize that for over 50% of the population, the Rams have been known as the Los Angeles Rams for a majority of their lives? It won't take that long to get used to.

What a shit bag for not taking public money that we all agree is a bad thing.

Can Deadspin editorial policy explain how you can be pissed of at Stan Kroenke for moving a team when moving the team cost no public construction money but staying local would have cost public construction money?

Fair enough I will leave my comment up but add this as a retraction.
