That’s why I think he’ll eventually be in the HOF. How many pitchers - even those in the Hall - can say they were the greatest pitcher of their generation in the way that Halladay can? He was my second favorite pitcher of all time after Greg Maddux, and I didn’t even care about the Blue Jays. But I tried to watch…

I have lived in and driven through many places, and for the most part, drivers are fine. Each state/region has its quirks: WV drivers love to drive slowly in the left lane, NY/NJ drivers are aggressive but agile, OH drivers drive like they’re being pursued by the hellscape that it is Ohio, and OR drivers are…

What songs does he mention drugs other than “Turtles on the Way Down”? I can’t think of anything off the top of my head, but that doesn’t mean my memory isn’t foggy. Also, given the prevalence of lyrics about pot in modern country music, I would say that the “country” perception of drugs beyond alcohol might be…
