In New Orleans, during Mardi Gras, the cars and trucks in the parades would always have their hoods popped. My mom used to tell me they did that to keep the engines from overheating. Not sure if that's legit but I've always wondered...

The Great Northern Conspiracy, if legit, would be one of the cooler payoffs ever.

Its crazy what these rascals will grow up without. I mean, the telephone! Its arguably the icon of icons when it comes to communication and yet, when my boy saw a picture of a phone in its cradle, he looked up at me and said, "What's that, daddy?" All he has known as far as talking to someone is our cell phones and…

I have a two year old who has never used a land line telephone but knows how to set up a skype video call on our ipad with his grandparents in Canada.

The Drone's name is not divisible by 8. I am disappoint.

C'mon, @Deadspin, how much did you pay for that Hall of Fame vote? How much did it take for idiot to be bought? http://t.co/koKwrpXOji

Seriously. The Tank Brother was a tool. If some stranger shot my brother and then tried to coax me into some nefarious plan I would nod accordingly til I got the chance to return the favor. WORST. BROTHER. EVER.

Why worry about the availability of alcohol? A month on water and fruit juice might even improve some folks' health

The Neil Armstrong one is grossly inaccurate. They didn't have a rover on Apollo 11. #WrongMission #BeatingDegrasseTysontothepunch

Saying Jim Brown played lacrosse is like saying Michael Jordan played basketball. Ask anyone in the know and they will tell you he was considered the BEST to ever play.

I, too, miss those kinds of heavy weights. The problem is most of the guys who could fill those shoes are playing on Sundays or shooting hoops. Demarcus Ware might actually have killed someone had he chosen boxing instead of football, to say nothing of folks like Justin Smith.

Huey P. Long. He of the share our wealth plan, LA politics and All the Kings Men fame. Had the doctors not missed the knick his liver got as a result of his gunshot wounds, he might well have lived gotten elected president, and forever altered the path of this country.

No response from Arkansas? Not surprised. I get the whole fried catfish thing as it is a big deal around these parts. That being said, when Chuy's is considered a standard bearer in regards to high cuisine, I doubt anyone will complain when you say their staple food is fried catfish.

You could of course be lucky and own a bar like The Boot in New Orleans. Located literally across the street from Tulane, the bar recoups all of its yearly operating expenses during Mardi Gras or so I'm told. Everything else is just profit.

My apologies if this is a stupid question, but where the hell do you come up with the Bob Evans MVP watch section every week? Like, do you write it or does Evans do it? It cracks me up every. single. time. Pure Gold!

IF they would all have just listened to Jack the show would be called 12.

Vincent: George Steinbrenner, the Yankees owner, called me right after the press conference and said, "I saw you on TV at that press conference. You weren't wearing a tie. A commissioner should always wear a tie. You looked like a bum."

So, McAfee, all 6'1" and 220 pounds of him, blew up Trindon Holliday who stands at a TOWERING 5'5" and 171 lbs. Yeah, really great notch on the belt, that.
