I take lemons, oranges, loquats, and avocados from the neighbors’ trees on a regular basis. They take macadamia nuts from our tree (if any remain after the damn squirrels are finished). You don’t abuse the privileges, and you don’t take more than 1 at a time, and you don’t tromp through flowers or gardens or whatever…

I’ll be playing Stardew Valley, because I cannot stop. The hours-played statistic is beginning to become embarrassing, and I try to quickly skip past the menu where it shows if my wife is in the room.

I’m pretty sure the podcast got this backwards, if that is what was said. The reports I’ve read have said that Everton wants 90M release clause, whereas Lukaku wants it to be 60M-70M. IOW, Lukaku knows that no one will pay 90M for him, and thus a release clause that big ensures he’ll stay at Everton, which the board…

Grew up in a place where 3/4 of the LDS gyms were hardwood, and the rest were carpeted. This was a very strategic element of our local church basketball tournaments—the teams whose home courts were on carpet loved it, while visiting teams hated it. However, the fact that the carpet was most commonly paired with the…

+1 U-18 French defender, signed late on deadline day.

He’s resigned now? This is a tragedy of epic proportions.

Great article, Hamilton!

NOPE. It’s about truth in Premier League Table possibilities this weekend, really.

SEVENTH best!

Came here for Colin Cowherd’s take on the Wall. Left disappointed.

I always feel like videos like the second one are staged. Why would someone have been recording the dude in the first place? Who does that? Who stands next to a person and films them with a phone, just on the off-chance that something interesting happens?

“I was in the neighborhood about an hour early and decided to pop in the local bar and watch the first half of the Thursday night football game strictly for fantasy purposes.”

No, he was just way shorter than I envisioned. Most places I’ve seen list him as 6'1 or 6'2, but there is no way he’s that tall. I’m 5'11, and was at least as tall, if not taller. I also have way bigger biceps.

This one evening I sat down in the privacy of my own home, turned on the television, and loaded up on my favorite cooking show on the DVR. Without warning, Drew Magary had invaded my living room wearing this wretched shirt, and wouldn’t leave for a good 20-30 minutes.

I also was once skiing in Sun Valley, ID and had a brief encounter with the Terminator. I was wandering around Ketchum with 2 friends late in the evening looking for a place to grab a bite to eat, and a guy walks out out of a local gym in front of us and heads toward a red Hummer sitting at the curb. I said, “Hey, do…

Why do you call Basset Hounds “boxers” Albert?

Draw/Marchman—

Just reading the number and the damn jingle is stuck in my head. +1/-1

Get rid of the designated player rules. Or get rid of horrible non-DP salary caps so that “players who don’t totally suck” might be willing to sign a non-DP contract. Get the league out of team ownership, so that incoming star(ish) players aren’t assigned to the teams the league deems worthy (Dempsey). Stop…

Kobe Bryant did the same thing to his daughters when they woke up the morning after Halloween having eaten too much candy.
