It’s true. I live near state land, so my living room in hunting season sounds like we live on a firing range. In addition, I have redneck neighbors that like setting off major boomers of fireworks at all hours. When my two dogs came to live with me, the first time a loud noise happened, we had a fun game of tug (I…

In some areas, pizza shops actually do sell their raw dough. Seems as if it’s a regional thing.

They make them for humans too.

Amazing that the NFL has such detailed rules for the shit its players can wear on the field, to the point that players can’t have simple, minor tributes to dead relatives without getting fined, but something that actually affects gameplay is just “Eh, we’ll let the billion dollar franchise figure it out on their own…

I went to the Michigan and Michigan State SBN blogs to capture their reactions when Michigan State failed to convert their 4th down, and then when Michigan State won the game.

UM was Texas before Texas was Texas.

It’s an old-school play called “The swinging gate.” Every junior high team is contractually obligated to run it at least once.

I agree with your issues but I believe instead of turning the ball to the opposing team it should just be a loss of down. Nothing I hate more than some guy running down the field and then losing the ball out the sideline to then have the ball placed at that location.

Hawaiian sea salt is salt with some mineral clay in it, so it’s another depth of flavor. The salt is pinkish. It’s really expensive though, at least the stuff that’s actually produced in Hawaii. I think a lot of what we can get here on the mainland comes from California.

I know that someone mentioned this a few years ago in one of Drew’s columns, (might have even been a Jamboroo) but if you just take his words and phrases, that are in all caps, out of context you get great movie titles. You can then write up your own Comcast-like plot lines. I’m bored and have nothing to do, so here…

It is inherently more fun to watch a game with more catches than less. NO ONE DENIES THIS. So, to that end, here should be the basic rules of a legal catch in the NFL:

Why is it that every motherfucker thinks that complexity is inherently bad and all that’s needed to “fix” a complex system is to reduce it to one or two rules “and a little common sense”? You know perfectly well that if you did this rule, the next time some Vikings player did something that was obviously a…

When I was a kid we found our porn used and discarded in the woods. Sure that copy of OUI was wet and sorry and smelled like dead leaves, but it got the job done.

I 100% agree that the catch rule is overwrought to the point that it reads like a theory on an existential concept of ‘catch’ that is beyond our sensory powers to determine.

It’s time to fix the fumble rule too. If I lose control of the ball while playing soccer and it goes out of bounds, I lose possession. If I lose control of the ball while playing basketball and it goes out of bounds, I lose possession.

I focused on Old and Middle English in college for reasons I can’t articulate.

I once had a girlfriend whose dad said he went to school so that he could pay for other people to fix his stuff. That was a long time ago. And he was an asshole.

bah, there’s nothing wrong with the rule, just with the people who don’t understand it.

Simmons has frequently talked about athletes who rise in popularity and power who do stupid things as being the types of athletes who are never told, “no” by anyone within their inner circle. Which is funny because that’s exactly how I view what’s happened to him. His place as an influential sports personality are…

With apologies to all of the fine writers, editors, and other staff members at Grantland, basically the only question I care about is “where is Zach Lowe going to end up?”

He’ll be able to go anywhere he wants (his work is excellent and he’s cultivated a number of very strong relationships with important NBA figureds),…
