I’m critical of that hypothesis without data, particularly the assertion that diet and sex drive are related. The diet is a factor, the sensitivity of the population to food supply (or lack thereof due to deforestation), I think would have a greater effect on reproduction rates than diet on sex drive. That’s not to…

You are right. I’d forgotten that. Though, since it’s left vague there’s plausibility that it’s a different Bond universe. Brosnan and Craig are distanced from that feature of “Bond”.

Yes and no. The main threats to species are usually a result of human activity, whether hunting, habitat loss or other environmental degradation. Conservation efforts by humans are generally us making up for these effects on the current population, not due to some evolutionary issue.

Enberg’s face and Mel Allen’s catchphrase/glee.

I was visiting Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City. It was a Sunday morning and we were there for their tour. In the tap room, they had on NBA TV which was showing either the 91 or 92 Slam Dunk contest, and it was riveting. I’d forgotten all about Cedric Ceballos.

I think that’s the ultimate question. Should we see all the Bond movies as existing in the same universe or not? For me, I go with Connery/Lazenby/Moore as the same Bond because of Tracy Bond.

We need to talk about McAdoo’s hair. Last year was the flowbee. This year, the slicked back wet look.

I can’t tell which has more “creativity” the Giants playbook or the options at SuperCuts.

It’s disappointing that this article only has 60 comments. Come one people.

If the seats are red (lower box seats) or green (bleachers) they are pretty comfortable modern ballpark seats. The original style grandstand seats (blue and under the deck) are still there and uncomfortable. Of course what makes them more uncomfortable is the lack of leg space (since its still the original 1912…

Mexico City would be a delicious addition to the NFL.

If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

Yes. New York is expensive. Yes, some things in New York are overrated. And yes it can be stressful. But it’s one of the most unique cities in the world, probably only matched by Tokyo, Paris, and London. I live in Boston and usually do a weekend a year in New York…

Yes I did. That was from the 2015/2016 season, when they only won 10 games. Still it took them 59 games to get eliminated from contention, (when the Gold Rule would kick in).

I responded to another post, with a practical response. A good metaphor would be the Game of Hearts. The point of Hearts is to avoid the hearts/queen of spades, at the end of each trick. The other strategy is to get all the hearts and queen of spades by the end of the trick. This is called “Shooting the Moon” and is…

While I agree that seems rational in theory, that really seems like a difficult proposition to pull off in actuality.

The Gold Plan would work with the NBA as well. (Most wins after you are eliminated, gets the #1 pick)

Ahh the immortal Log v. Loaf debate.

If you are making the meatballs, make them into football shaped meatballs. A more oblong shape keeps them philosophically “balls”, and avoids the meat log issue.

I didn’t, but I like how both comments came from wrestling themed burners. Quite excellent.

You’re right. Gah. Doubly the worse now.

I feel terrible. I went to Morocco last year, had an absolute blast, and spent two nights at a very lovely desert camp in the middle of the Erg Chebbi dunes. It was a truly mind-blowing experience, and a very fond memory. But of course, my one critique on the place? There was no fan in the tent, and the air was a…
