This is so obviously the case that I can’t believe Deadspin is crying about mislaid beefs. Hue Jackson is a fucking trainwreck of a coach and should be mocked and derided as much as possible.

Bird law in this country is not governed by reason.

All that, and flying out of Burlington is ridiculously expensive. I routinely drive down to Manchester or Boston airports to avoid getting gouged.

I did something similar, but with JFK and LaGuardia airports. I landed in LaGuardia and couldn’t figure out why my flight wasn’t anywhere on the board. Then I finally looked at my ticket and learned I was at the WRONG AIRPORT. Fortunately, I had a long enough layover to grab a cab and drive down to JFK just in time to…

When Ford axed its hatchbacks, it killed three of the best, affordable enthusiast cars on the market—Fiesta ST, Focus ST and Focus RS. They’re all gone now. And Mazda doesn’t sell Speed versions of its Mazda3 or Mazda6 anymore...

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Everyone cries all day about soul-sucking crossovers and SUVs, and then cheer like a bunch of savages at the death of a small, (reasonably) affordable, convertible-ready car. The updated New Beetle isn’t all that bad. And it at least has some damn character.

P-38 Lightning remains my favorite aircraft of the war. Just an amazing, unique design that presented both great benefits and some tough challenges.

Amen. There’s some serious revisionism going on here. The Mitsubishi Zero was an outstanding fighter... for its time. But by 1943-44, the US was deploying better aircraft (F6F, F4U Corsair) manned by better pilots in far greater numbers.

And here’s a fact: Brian Keith played Soviet scientist Alexei Dubov in the 1970s disaster flick/cheese fest Meteor.

Modding the shifter on my Fiat 500 Abarth was the first change I made to the car. A short shift kit helped both shorten the throws and improve engagement. Very simple and affordable mod and well worth it.

LOL. I did the reverse. Moved from the midwest to Vermont. Took me years to figure out that everyone wasn’t shunning me. 

Installing a front-mount intercooler on my Fiat 500 Abarth. The stock, dual side-mount setup is a complete mess, with numerous turns, varying pipe widths, and 14 join points between turbo and throttle body. It leaked like a sieve, especially after I ran a flash tune. The FMIC was a PITA to install, but the simplified p…

“He gave us the Hellcat” should be on his tombstone!

Wait, you think the fine is going to be the highest price NFL protesters will face? You ought to check in with Colin Kaepernick on that. 

Yep. You bite the damn road trip bullet, so you can be day drinking on day 2. How is this not known?

The plane could definitely still be flyable if the folding segment were to fail in flight. But a lot depends on when it fails. In the early moments of takeoff—at rotation or just after—it could be a catastrophe. And I imagine that a failure in a high-stress environment—like, in a thunderstorm at night—could tip a…

Totally agree with your interpretation (and the hockey analogy). It was close enough to a “2" so the refs took the opportunity to shut it down. That’s just solid game management.

Yep, I meant Pacers, of course. And I think it’s clear they called it tight to shut down any ugliness. The last thing you’d want to see is another Andrew Bynum situation.

The flagrant 2 call was surprising. Yes, it was a shot to the head, but it wasn’t particularly forceful or even malicious. Just cheap and sloppy. Could the ruling have been a case of the refs getting out in front of the drama and letting the Raps know that they weren’t going to be allowed to work out their…
