I don’t know if it just me or this is common with other people....

The paradox of life: smart enough to get into Harvard, dumb enough not to know how to operate a privacy setting.

You’re citing Paul Craig Roberts unironically? Was Lyndon LaRouche or Alex Jones unavailable for comment?

Honestly, I would be OK with paying minor league players $1,100/month IF the team provided the housing and the meals. More major league teams are moving toward providing the meals so their best young players are getting proper nutrition (instead of getting the 2 for $1.99 gas station hot dog deal). Give the players

Top 3:

On the second part, the hot takes stuff can get ratings. Every article on First Take confirms that it gets monster ratings for a sleepy timeslot. At its peak, it was giving Sportscenter a run for its money. ESPN is dropping the high price takers because ESPN realizes that its golden goose — cable TV and carriage fees

This is why the detergent was under lock and key.

My wife is a very anxious person and she has a friend with similar anxiety issues. They both started using adult coloring books and they love it. They say it relaxes them, eases their anxiety and gives them a small window of time where they have complete control over something. I can’t recommend it enough as a quick

In fairness here, Coach Cal may be screwing over future players. Here is the theory:

Cal has all of his guys submit for the draft and see where they sort out: (1) not invited to combine, (2) invited to combine, advised to return to school, (3) invited to combine, advised to stay in draft. This is good for the players

It is a bit hypocritical for Wisconsin players to be complaining about this. Wisconsin is the only D1 team that uses Sterling basketballs and B10 teams have complained about it for years.

Van Morrison has to be a top contender. “Brown Eyed Girl” has been around since 1967 and is so inoffensive that it can be played at any junior high (even in super religious areas that would never allow power rock ballads).

The rumors about Barry and the undergrads have been around forever. I knew a guy who worked at the Wisconsin State Journal who said there were persistent rumors in Madison that Barry knocked up a cheerleader in the mid-90s. State Journal chased the rumor and couldn’t definitively figure out which cheerleader it was,

Based on the byline, it is safe to assume that the story was written by this guy?

At this point, NBC does a better job of developing cold fusion than they do comedies. Is it time for NBC to greenlight “You’re on with Ron,” the Ron Swanson advice show that America needs?

You identify Hill Street Blues as the first drama to use certain devices (mixture of serialized and episodic storylines, mixture of comedy/drama, different camera angles, etc.) that we take for granted in Peak TV. Is there a pre-HSB show that would have most benefited from the use of these devices?

#2 is so true.

If Nick Saban was not a football coach or an educator, what would his profession be?

Do Saban’s assistants enjoy working for him and being around him or do they hate it (ala the rumor of the empty plane of assistants going from MSU to LSU) and only tolerate him because he is a football savant?

Saban (fairly or unfairly) has a rep as a guy who is always on the move, always has a wanderlust for a new job. Is it fair or have all of his moves been about circumstances presenting themselves?

If you are a bibliophile (or even a music/TV lover with a large set of CDs/DVDs), mail them to your new address via media mail. I did this when I moved 1,300 miles away. It takes them a while to get there (media mail is pretty much the slowest shipping service offered by USPS), but the price is tough to beat. You can
