There is only one Big Chicken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Chicken

My wife is attached to her stuff, me not so much. It’s never been the subject of any serious arguments, but a lot of eye-rolls and heavy sighs every time we try to clean out a closet or the storage space. And then, this year, as we were trying to winnow down the 12 huge containers of holiday decorations that are all…

Anybody else depressed they’re old enough to remember Sidd Finch?

Big crowd at the finals of the Brazil Open, huh?

+1 goofy marketing ploy

I was waiting for Lindsey to deliver the punchline after calling him a “crucial member of the San Diego bullpen the season....”

I get that. The article may have said, or maybe just implied, that he did it that way because it was faster. And I’m sure it’s a really, really nice ride. But I’m guessing that back pain sufferers will all say that 17 hours without being able to move around, take a walk, etc. is likely to be excruciating no matter…

I think it’s more a question of whether he THINKS he can win. Many of these guys have this confident mindset (bordering on delusional) that the rest of us just don’t.

“Yeah, well, I’d like to see him do that about 40 times in a row! No, seriously, I really would....”

I’d actually missed the reference in the headline, but your comment gave me that aha moment. Take my star!

I know there are a ton of lawyers down here in the comments section. So here’s more (from Cornell) that I found for those interested in the arguments the parties are making on both sides of this one. A few references to the impact of the case on the “Redskins” mark, but it focuses on the actual dispute.

As a tribute to San Diego, it should be 72 degrees. And sunny.

What the NFL appears poised to do right now is to convince itself that the Raiders will be able to move to Las Vegas and thus extend Spanos’ option perhaps another year. (Recall that once Spanos’ option lapses, Davis has an option.) Since Spanos is looking for more time (the Kevin Acee article linked to above says…

But knowing their AD’s name is Boo explains what their fans have been chanting in the stands for the last decade....
