Right, they just pulled the lever in the cab and left it cracked. My mother was telling me this about 15 years ago and these days I dont notice it as much, just on occasion. The cars dont really pull anything, just the occasional fancy person waving or cop car proceeding in the p-rade. It also tends to be cooler…

Al Michaels: Premiering this Friday, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug!

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...

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

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

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.

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!

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.

I'd prefer they revert back to festively plump. Reasons:

Dont just look at it, EAT IT!

Good to see Shlomo recover from his scuba diving accident enough to render decisions! EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A PART OF A MIRACLE, BABY!!

I once had a Moe's Burrito place (Like Chipotle) give me shit about not tipping. I said, "If you can prove to me you worked harder and provided me more service than the guy at McDonalds making my burger I'll give you a tip right now". No response. I will say, though, it seems sketchy to have the tip line there…

because, 'Merica!

Drug tests and DEA agents are powerful agents to the uninitiated but we are initiated aren't we, Alex?
