It helps to have a little kid with you and to take it all in good stride. I took my son to the Washington game. He was wearing a Panthers jersey. People usually just made some good natured jokes and gave him high fives. We aren’t intense people either. I’m not trying to rub it in when my team scores.

25 years may sound like a long time, but for purposes of a time capsule, it’s really not. The point of a time capsule is to show people relics from an age that they don’t recognize. The stuff they pulled out of here is still around. Vinyl is still around (albeit as a novelty). CDs aren’t that far gone. 1993 had cell…

McDonalds over Wendys? Have you lost your mind? This makes me question whether you are even fit to write a column about anything. You should be in a hospital right now being checked for a brain tumor. You don’t have much time.

I see what you’re arguing, but I don’t see any evidence in this article to indicate it’s true. You’re saying players like Pettersson are protected by the league in the way that non-stars are not. But you didn’t provide any examples of non-stars getting similarly choke slammed and having the offender escape punishment.…

He scaled the fence and jumped in the ring when he had no business being there, and squared off with Connor. Regardless of who threw the first punch, he was wrong for even being in that position. This was after Khabib had jumped in the stands and attacked McGregor’s coach. McGregor would have understandably thought he…

YUM donuts in LA. Duck Donuts in Northern Virginia for the win. 

Ok, you don’t want a femaile James Bond. I kind of get it. But why not a spinoff female agent character? That could be a cool story and you wouldn’t have to name her James Bond or anything. It would make a ton of money too. So what do you have against making money?

So my Mom and her friends all fell for this and sent me PMs with this exact message. The upside? It brought us all closer together as a family and I shall cherish this moment forever. 

I definitely feel bad for those people. I lost a lot of sleep over a similar investment in Facebook. However, if you only have $30k or you are a single Dad between jobs etc, you should not be putting all your eggs in Tesla. We all know that is financially irresponsible.

I never understood the appeal of these types of books. If you’ve read one, you’ve read them all. The archetype infests so much of our pop culture. “Gifted writer/doctor/ lawyer just can’t get his personal shit together, and loves the booze and ladies, but it’s all very charming and interesting at the same time.”

I’ve been to Iraq, I boxed in the ring, and I’ve hung out in a lot of surly establishments. Never been in a single bar fight. Bar fights are only romantic years after the fact, if nobody actually gets hurt. Most of the time they are only cool after the people involved embellish them. They are usually either really…

The responses to you have been pretty much what anybody would have predicted. “Paul Allen is a scumbag!”. Why exactly is he a scum bag? “Earl Thomas deserves the money and Paul Allen doesn’t.” Why exactly is this true? Paul Allen is every bit as self made as Earl Thomas is.

So up until today, I was a facebook shareholder. I owned about $100k worth of shares. I know the cardinal rule is to buy when people are fearful and sell when they’re greedy. I realize I should have sold when it was pushing 220 a share. I planned to ride out this downturn and see what quarterly earnings would do.

I wear a Hartford Whalers hat a lot. I’m not a “hat guy” but I’ve never owned a piece of clothing that starts so many conversations as this hat. Yes, it’s usually dudes. But occasionally there will be a hockey savvy, often inebriated, lady that is drawn to the hat. 

Here’s a weird double standard that exists. You find it impossible to believe that Kevin James could ever hook up with one of the beautiful ladies he is always cast opposite of in romantic comedies. But somehow you think Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper make a beautiful couple. Also, you thought Jenny Slade was too good…

Everybody is always quick to say “We can’t do football the American way! We have to emulate the rest of the world.” My question is: what makes you so sure we can’t do it our way, and what makes you so certain that aping the rest of the world is better? Currently the U.S is not the best at soccer. But if there is one…

I had a CT scan and I used some of those same lines for the pre scan “procedure”. “Using your whole fist there doc? You ever serve time?” Got a laugh from the guy that was doing the intrusion. Didn’t help me much, but still, case closed.

Fletch was more than just decent. It was way ahead of its time. A lot of classic comedies fall flat 30 years after they come out. Fletch’s one liners are still hilarious.

This kid was a great player. He would have been a great help to the USMNT. 

But is he elite?
