I just finished the sequel to The Firm and it's probably the worst book I've ever read. I mean, I've read some stuff and just stopped due to boredom, but I felt compelled to f...

I don't wish any ill of the guy, but this year, watching Kuzy has been painful. Dude was so obvious whenever he decided to check out. Like.. It's cute that he has the weirdest/slowest lead up to a penalty shot... but when he effectively does that mentally during the run of play... not great. I hones...

There's a podcast that I'm into right now (Paper Ghosts - cold case true crime thing) that lists the time as about 45 minutes, but a) he does a recap of the previous episode, he runs 3 separate ad breaks that I fast fwd and 3) does a "next time" preview at the end of every episode. I haven...

Trump was full racist bigot in the 80s at the latest. I assume lifelong given his father's rental philosophies. There is a lot of reporting on Trump being racist long before he came near politics.

I've literally never done any sort of campaigning on behalf of any candidate, but I just submitted a volunteer form for the woman running against my current rep.

Very interesting discussion with the CBS Golazo folks and Jermaine Jones. I like these because, agree or disagree with the interviewee, they talk some real real .

And since we didn't put together a thread on the W Gold Cup: * The shit that Colombia pulled in that game was next level shithousery. They were extremely lucky to have a terrible ref, as they should've seen at least 2 red cards. And that's just from watching extended highlights. * In particular, FIF...

The Valencia - Madrid game ending was a fiasco and completely avoidable except for silly soccer traditionalists. The college game has the clock right. My issue with college and h.s. clock maintenance is having it run while the ball is out of play. I know some of that has been tightened up, but I re...

I'm almost positive he was one of the very first QBs I had in the ancient fantasy league on ESPN during that year for the Bears. I think I also had Yancey Thigpen and I waxed everyone that year.

If you don't know Kill Tony, the premise is that EXTREMELY green comics (not open mic level, but maybe a year or two past starting) get up and do about 3 minutes and professional comics roast them.. OR... They are like "this dude/dudette" is unique and funny as fuck. Here's another example...

I'm definitely an outlier when it comes to stand up, because I've gotten pretty bored with the standard fare. This dude, coming from the Kill Tony comedy-verse is absolutely killing me.

I know I read that about Martin Sheen at some point. I'm pretty sure I read it in the context of Charlie Sheen/Emilio Estevez being brothers and the origins of those names (or something)

What if she was from New Hampshire, Ryan, would that change things!!?*

(She's actually a name that was pretty prominent here in the DMV* because she was a teacher in Prince George's County. And I just looked it up.. She WAS a teacher in Concord, NH!!)

The only astronauts I can name come from the Apollo missions/lunar landing era. Oh, yeah, to Mr. D's point, and McAuliffe.

What will happen is with her out of the race, name recognition for him will jump quite a bit. He's likely "losing" in polls right now simply due to this name rec issue. Lots and lots of folks aren't paying ANY attention to a Senate race in Jan-March. Really, the vast majority of voters won...

Ah, man... Hate to see that. Nick has always seemed like he's on the edge of something like that. He's had some crazy health scares the last 4 or 5 years, which I thought would've straightened him out a bit, but... apparently not.

And to be completely fair to UVa, not having their top faceoff guy played a major factor on Saturday. They just couldn't get anything going momentum-wise, and when they did start to get hot the Jays' keeper shut them down. He was incredible in the 2nd half.
