Almonds are delicious, so fuck California.

The food industry has actually launched an initiative to simplify/create uniformity in product code dating (not just for milk but all products), including an educational campaign for consumers. As you note, the biggest problem is most people do not understand what those codes actually mean (including my own wife, who…

Gus Johnson is EXACTLY who I had in mind to pair him with!

Bode Miller’s announcing style is...subdued. We’ll go with subdued. And listening to him talk about anything other than skiing makes me question whether he has a fully functioning brain. BUT...as someone who skied regularly and well before his knees went to shit, I think he does an excellent job of breaking down what…

Try being 40, I remember being in college for Steve Nash’s senior year at Santa Clara.

Does it matter that he didn’t deserve either MVP award?

In 2016 Cueto was the same age as Darvish is now, a better pitcher with less of an injury history, and got more of less the same deal (6 years/130 million).

I’m generally not a fan of throwing around “playing the race card” accusations, but wholly crap did Shani Davis ever pull out the race card on this one. Now all we need is Erin Hamlin to tweet back “I deserved this more #MeToo” and we will REALLY see some sane and perfectly measured takes on this!

I mean, isn’t the most likely explanation that this is the new reality in sports? Teams want to be very good, but if they can’t be very good, it makes more sense to be both cheap (maximize short term revenue) and bad (better draft picks) then middle of the pack in both talent and payroll. And I really don’t get the…

JD Martinez is entering his age 30 season, meaning his prime is ending and not beginning. And even in his 20s he misses something like 40 games/year due to injury.

I won’t pretend to know the details of this deal, but I’m inferring she sold all movie/tv rights as opposed to the rights for a single movie, which is why MGM held the TV rights. It’s likely neither party expected the TV rights to be worth much after the movie was made, particularly back in 1990.

I was thinking that since NE only had one penalty called against them in the AFC title game, it would be karmic justice to lose the SB on a non-call against their opponent. But your way is probably better. Ending the Super Bowl on a clear and unequivocal mistake by Brady would be pretty spectacular.

Particularly if replay shows the Eagles defender clearly commits PI on the play.

Wikipedia has a good summary of various polls conducted on what people think of the name Washington Redskins, and the various criticisms of said polls:

Talk radio seems to bring out the worst fans of a team, the kind that are unaware of their biases and respond to disagreement with sheer hostility. But the worst fans in Boston seem *particularly* bad.

Ha, I know this one! Italian Re...uhhh...nevermind.

Remember Clam Digger for the Commodore 64? I loved that game, boy. Tyrone calls you up, you know, in the game, and he says “I can dig more clams than you, stupid!” And you’ve gotta say “Nuh-uh, boy!” And then y’all gotta race down to the beach with your buckets and shovels. And the object of the game...is to find…

PS One Edition:

There’s an alternative approach, which is “not forming any opinion about truth or innocence when accusations are made, but instead waiting until more information surfaces.”

DDL takes 2-3 years between movies because he’s notoriously meticulous in researching parts. Steep cranks out 1.5 movies a year and half the time it feels like she’s just showing up.
