This game was amazing, but 12 year old me figured out a glitch that made my friends stop playing with me: hitting opposing batters did damage, and you could eventually kill enough of them to force them to forfeit.

Swansea is the Central Mass of Eastern Mass.

Leave it to the NFL to make the impossible happen: I <hrrrk> agree <hrrrk> with Vontaze Burfict. That looks like a pretty clean block into the dude’s chest.

+1. Jones was also on AllTheCocaine at that point, and fought down to his competition.

I went to middleschool with Albert Breer. He was a contrarian douche then - glad (read: not at all glad) to see he’s found a way to get paid for it.

Dude, New Hampshire is just townie Massachusetts.

Yeah, i’m always a little mystified by this style of reporting on celebrity death (George, Mitch Hedberg, fucking Andrew Breitbart): yes, the decades of alcohol and cocaine have left your heart more wobbly than an elephant in heels, but if there’s not blow actually dripping out of your nose at time of death, “eh,…

Here’s the fun local news piece on a girl winning the biggest HS tournament in the country. Guys may be stronger at the weight, but wrestling isn’t a deadlifting contest: technique matters a LOT. I was never particularly strong, even for my weight class, and went undefeated my senior year.
