If the Seahawks win again, the pain will subside. Whenever you're watching NFL Network and this game comes up, you won't hurriedly change the channel anymore. I never thought I'd get over the 2003 ALCS between the Red Sox and Yankees, but a historical comeback and WS win the following year made the Aaron Boone…

I watched the entire game alternating between completely stressed out and bummed. When the pick happened, I leaped up, yelled 'YES!' then quickly sat back down and went back to being stressed and responding to congratulatory texts with 'the game isn't over, shut up.'

Which makes it all the more stupid that they bothered to cheat in the first place.

I tried getting back into WWE about a month ago, after devouring as many Monday Night Wars and WWE Rivalries I could get my hands on. When I watched my first RAW in like 10 years, I couldn't believe how bad it was. It's too damn long. There's a lethargy to the pacing. It felt like a lot of the storylines and…

Since we all know KG is a fake tough guy who only goes after people he perceives as 'weak', the headbutt pretty much confirms Kobe's assessment of Howard, right?

He's gonna have to find his Speirs. I don't think that's Brock Osweiler..

I remember Bard's first appearance, against the Angels. Struck out Napoli on three straight swinging strikes, throwing nothing but heat. Napoli just shook his head in disbelief. Thought I was seeing the Sox closer of the future. Instead, management indulged him in his desire to become a starter, right after they…

Nobody else finds it suspicious that the NBA started testing for HGH this year and suddenly guys like Lebron, Melo and Love showed up to camp this year 15-20 pounds lighter? Lebron attributed his weight loss to cutting out sugar from his diet and everybody nodded. Remember when Jason Giambi attributed his rapid…

My younger brother used to throw/break our Super Nintendo controllers so often that I became an expert at fixing them. I finally had enough and told him that if he threw another one he'd be responsible for replacing them. He resorted to biting them.

I once noticed a coworker had a copy of 'War and Peace' in his backseat. I asked him what he thought about it. He said he had never read it and the book was only there as a conversation starter. I never asked the followup question of exactly what kind of conversation he could possibly have without having read it.

The strike zone is getting larger every single year:

That still rankles me to this day. George King of the NY Post leaving Pedro off the ballot completely, citing the old bastard baseball bullshit that pitchers shouldn't be eligible for the award — despite placing David Wells and Rick Helling on his ballot in 1998. To top it off, even the two Texas writers didn't…

Here's an interesting Korean movie about identity (and an extremely dysfunctional relationship) in the wake of the country's plastic surgery boom: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt049798…

Tenuously relevant tidbit: Simmons once wrote that Pedro Martinez and Britney Spears have the same eyes,.

He's looking for bleu collar kind of guys.

I didn't consider myself a decent Tekken 3 player until I could consistently and decisively beat Eddy mashers. Later, Eddy actually became one of my go to characters — a lot of people would assume I was just a masher and not take me seriously in the first round.

Too bad she didn't go full Karen Sisko on his ass:

Not a restaurant story, but...back in high school, a few of my friends were over at my house. One of them goes to use the bathroom, then comes out with a confused look on his face.

No, I know it's not really an equivalent. I just used an opportunity to make a bad pun.

So what's the Western equivalent? A Japanese restaurant in Belgium with a dish called Uni 731?
