I can negotiate “like a man.” Or woman (some of the toughest, if not THE toughest opposing counsel against whom I have negotiated are women). I get paid somewhat fairly to do it, and am good at it. Also, I negotiate 7 figure settlements entirely by email. They can take weeks to hammer the nittiest of details.

Change the catch rule and the replay provisions. Permit replays, but the refs are only permitted to review the tape at game speed. If the issue is so close that you can’t tell without going frame by frame, then the referee did an exemplary job—whichever way the call goes.

It must be Monday. I had to read this three times before getting it.

Thin mints! Sold with two servings per box. Pro tip: put them in the freezer.

Here is an idea which I have not yet seen posed (although I have done zero research to verify the originality or lack thereof): reviews are permissible, but only when viewing the tape at game speed and the original resolution of the tape. It would ensure that the egregious missed calls are overturned while recognizing…

Sounds to me like your ball joint is failing, probably on the left side. Source: experienced failing ball joint in my WRX last year. Relatively easy to replace.

You mean: “Soary, so soary, eh.”

Straight white man here (never subjected to any negative stereotypes, and likely never will be). In my younger, more immature years, I would have been beating the drum (hee-hee) to keep the “grid girls.” Now, as a married father of two girls (six and 18 months) and one boy (three), I say get rid of “grid girls.” The…

WTF. Women are fully capable of competing with and —gasp—besting men. If there is any sport in which this should be most apparent, it should be motorsports. Having a penis does not give a racer an athlete, nor does a vagina give a racer a disadvantage. Look at the lower levels. While women are horribly…

My kids—and me—are big fans of “S’mores Ahoy.” Use crispy Chips Ahoy instead of the graham. I prefer to omit additional chocolate when making a S’mores Ahoy (letting the chocolate chips in the cookie do their thing), but my eldest (6 years old) likes to go the ultra-decadent route and throw two squares of Hershey’s on…

I think you are dead on with the Aztek. A 2004 Aztek was the first car I purchased “on my own” (i.e., without a co-signer). I bought it brand new and loved it. I only had it for three years, due to electrical gremlins, but I hope to get another one as one of those quirky “remember when” cars.

In the early-2000s, after graduating from college, I worked for a brief time selling cars at a dealership in a northern suburb of Detroit. I have since left car sales to pursue my career in the much more honorable and well-respected field of corporate litigation.

The 2017 Pacifica is my jump into being a true adult. Granted, we traded in an Outback (which is pretty adult), but the Pacifica cemented the leap. In fact, a significant reason for making the dreaded change to the minivan came from some advice that Torch provided a while ago: a minivan is simply more convenient…

Great article. While I might not necessarily agree with the proposed solution, it is nice to see a problem identified, propose a solution, and provide data demonstrating the proposed solution in action. I would like to see this style of journalism repeated.

Let me be clear: I am not, in any way, endorsing the actions of any of the parties involved. Without a doubt, this matter wouldn’t be on anybody’s radar had Ward done what he was supposed to do and remained in the car. Unfortunately, that is not the situation at hand.

She has the dead eyed look of a mannequin. Or too much marching powder.

2013 Outback, 4 cylinder. I drive it every single day. Strapped in the back, the sweetest peanut of a 5 yr old redhead girl, a 2 1/2 yr old redhead boy with an obsession for all things motorized, and a 5 month old redhead girl with a laugh that will have you rolling on the ground. In the passenger seat (usually) is my…
