Did people not hate their jobs and enjoy drinking and beaches before Jimmy Buffett wrote a song? DMB covered A Pirate Looks at Forty at the Gorge this weekend and the song is stuck in my head (for good reasons); might need to listen to more Buffett. It's still in my head (and I need to quit my job ...

In. Piece of cake

Pats should have kicked the field goal when down by 8. At least the offense looked competent with two rookie offensive linemen against that great pass rush. Seeing the improvement of Mac Jones, Hunter Henry, and Bourne is enough to get Matt Patricia fired again. The defense could be really good.

I basically just see Kilgore Trout tweets. My expectations for this app are fading

I really like Saturdays. Yesterday I learned Jim Palmer never had 200 strikeouts in a season.

The parents of children I work with are mostly extremely successful people spending a fortune on local taxes for good schools, a fortune on childcare/lessons/camps/nannys/tutors/etc and their children just spent a week on the top floor of a school with no air conditioning in the most humid/hot weath...

Hooray for soccer. I wimped out of guessing James Whitenfor Wisconsin, but I smartly wimped out on guessing the pictured Patriots running back was Leanord Russell.

Pretty big deal about someone returning to Foxboro this weekend: Matt Patricia!

(and Bledsoe's former backup)

Just fiished it and it is one of my favorite reads in a long time.

In, and no ACC questions for Davesez!

Vividly remember the 49ers not knowing who they would pick after the trade. What kind of insanity is that. Forget about the exorbitant price... Why make a trade like that and not be convinced that's your guy. Not to mention they had a QB already Especially in that draft. It was Lawrence, drop off, ...

EdRomero

Yes, it's one of the worst trades of all-time. Hard to disagree. The 49ers turned three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and $27 million into a fourth-round pick. And they could have stayed put and taken Justin Field, Mac Jones, or stick with the Galloping Chicken at QB and draft Chase or Par...

I could do it but I wouldn't be around for the Friday reveal, and id be really bad, but I could talk some trash, so I guess that makes me the Jets

It starts with going to Albany with two other guys.

I'm at Nantasket Beach right now which is less than an hour away with no annoying Cape Cod traffic. I think I saw that on the map. If she’s up to it and I can reasonably expect to not get stuck in hours worth of beach traffic that’s what I’m talking about. It's about 30 minutes away from the highwa...

Apparently Questlove has a podcast that's been on for awhile and he's interviewed people like Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama. I of course found the podcast because he recently interviewed Dave Matthews -- it's basically just two friends talking about random stuff, but there were a few cool tidbits ...

Cottage cheese is wonderful you bastards. Put it on an english muggin with some everything bagel mix or a little spicey honey. Also works as a nice dip for spicey, strong flavored chips. I read somewhere that cottage cheese is a challenge to make and can be inconsistent so maybe you guys haven't fou...

I'm at Nantasket Beach right now which is less than an hour away with no annoying Cape Cod traffic. Blue Hills is a very popular hiking area around there. Come to Mighty Squirrel in Waltham and order two off menu drinks I inadvertently invented on Monday- the Walthhammer and/or the Alan Wrench.

Demon Copperhead is such a great example of the power of fiction. We know how bad poverty, drug use, etc is in the country, but you think it sucks and then move on to the next thing. This book is just gut wrenching as it so vividly shows the effects on a child, and then to think there are so many ou...

I'd just want to walk the dog for a few months after that. So sorry.

EdRomero

Thanks. I'm in. Didn't find any of you but I found Ken Tremendous so I'm good.

EdRomero

What's the alternative? He and Tatum are entering their primes and they have already come close several times. You figure your two best players are going to get better and Stevens will find the right pieces to surround them. They trade or let go Brown and they would not replace his value right away,...

Today I learned several great players did not have 200 hits in a season. Almost got yesterday's but who the hell knows people who played for the Mariners and Rays.

His goal is to destroy Twitter, right?

It was a primary place for millions to visit for news and analysis and that's going away.

Good news is their setlists have gotten incredible over the last 2 weeks. Bad news is I got Covid probably from a friendly NH DMB fan. https://www.antsmarching.org/tour/ViewShow.php?ShowID=5097 https://www.antsmarching.org/tour/ViewShow.php?ShowID=5098 https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cu2HkXLMtHT/?utm...

In four games, both teams have scored over 10 runs. This was the first time this happened since 1894 when it happened twice in the same week (according to the Giants' announcer).

Some of us just want right answers...but yes, getting unique answers is fun. Pretty proud of my 0.1 percent Gary Pettis answer the other day.

Looks like baseball-reference is affiliated now and was upgraded. I also think this might be a younger man's game as my 80s players seem to have a small percentage of guesses

That's a good joke, Rass.

Really enjoyed the Netflix Wham doc. Did not know about their rap background

Has anyone tried Threads yet? Elon seems hot and bothered by it.
