When that happened in the book, I had to put the book down for awhile.

I know they're following the books, but I really kind of wish there wasn't a show next week. That episode was a dropkick in the nuts.

So, I know we have a larger thread on Klinsmann (or had one). I've been generally supportive of the bigger picture stuff he is trying to accomplish, but I'm becoming a little annoyed with a few on field and roster things. The biggest issue I have is that he can't seem to figure out Altidore is not a...

Did the Swamp somehow miss this restaurant's incredible showing on Kitchen Nightmares and its subsequent Facebook meltdown? If so, check it out. It's fantastic. http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/this-is-the-most-epic-brand-meltdown-on-facebook-ever" onclick="window.open(this.href);ret...

I've long ago stopped holding any kind of notion that refs are out to get my team. And the Caps have been prone to taking bad penalties in the playoffs. But, man... the disparity in this series, especially at MSG, is fucking nuts. The caps were 9th in the league in terms of staying out of the box. 2...

They're just a nuisance, not anything nefarious.

And unlike the fucking stink bugs that have infested the mid-atlantic, at least cicadas die off and don't seem to want to be up in your business (house). Stink bugs suck because they want to be warm, so they find their way into your house.

What's he kickstarting? Another shitty movie with an indie soundtrack? Exactly. And ruining Kickstarter in the process. Think of it as "Garden State Redux". It's all Veronica Mars's fault. But at least she's cute. Interesting that the creators of Kickstarter don't seem to have a problem w...

I wonder why it matters that it's a kicking motion. I know it might be heresy, but why not just let them kick it in? Hell, Ovechkin had a beautiful kick pass that started a nice 2 on 1 the other night. It's ok to pass with an obvious kicking motion, but not to score? I dunno, I guess I'm a soccer gu...

Oh, Canada.

Caps already up 1-0 and just out hustling the Rangers all over the ice. Most of the 50-50 pucks and scrums in the corners seem to come up white. Similarly the Rangers pack it in D is letting the caps pass it around the edge and just fire pucks in from the point. Caps D-men are pretty strong at that...

Nonlinear FC

The embellishment stuff is getting fucking out of hand. And if people want to bitch about Ovechkin, they need to go back and watch/listen to what the NBC crew was saying about Callahan during game 2. Praising the guy for essentially running into a Caps guy in open ice and drawing a penalty. It's act...

Caps - Gers is gonna be nasty. They were scrumming early and often last night. Fehr's interference was strange. Lose puck in front of the net and he crushed the Ranger in front of the net. Also surprised Oleksy did not pick up a star. Blocks one off the face (like how he described himself as a blee...

What the fuck was Bloomberg doing calling a press conference to announce that Suspect #2 said he and his brother *might* have been heading to Times Square to blow things up?

What was that? Seriously.

Three more that I don't believe I've read yet: Christopher Titus Joe Rogan Penn Jillette's Sunday School I listened to Rogan for quite some time, but I just can't listen to anything for 2 hours (or whenever he decides to stop.)

Also, Jets/Caps/Isles/Rangers play lately aside, how bad is the East? If Pittsburgh is in the finals having played more than 15 games it will be a miracle. The West though, whatever 7 series play-out there are going to be awesome to watch. I know they are feeding on each other, but I'm not ready to...

Not exactly new news, but I'm glad this abomination is 6 feet under.

Tonight's game in Washington vs. the Jets should be fun. Jets are one back of the Caps for the SE title, and then it's a total shitshow from 9th - 6th (+ the Caps) in the East with all 5 of those teams within 2 points of each other.

That's the first episode in a long time where I was completely shocked that the hour was up. FANTASTIC stuff. You kind of knew Dany knew what he was saying and was going to fuck shit up, but it was still AWESOME to watch. And you could see the Kingslayer and Brienne relationship kicking off when he ...

Smartest Man in the World - Jeff Probst. Very liberal, very smart, very funny. Sometimes his references fly over my head, but it's worth the listen.\ This is Greg Proops, not Jeff Probst. Although I 'm certain "Whose Line Is It, Anyway" and "Survivor" are almost the same show. I...

I suppose you could argue, and argue it well, that it was a hit from behind on a prone player. But "if he was hurt" or "if this" or "if that" don't have any bearing. More of a salt-in-the-wounds moment. I do have a suggested for you though, based on NHL rules *if* you ...

Dammit Sybian, I need fucking closure here!

Yeah, bloodhounds. It's funny, we have so much high tech gadgetry, yet they had no idea where this kid went, within minutes of his fleeing. Do no police forces have tracking dogs anymore? It seems like that would have been a good idea and possibly could have ended this thing hours earlier. That's a...

I'm not happy that I'm literally a couple of blocks outside the area where they just finished doing a house-by-house search, and this guy is fleeing by foot ... Just sayin'. Doesn't Ed Romero live in Watertown? Anyone heard from him? As a Boston resident, I thought the discussion between Howard and...

this is a largely commercialized area. within a mile of where they had the firefight last night. the toyota of watertown on arsenal is where i take my truck. there's also a lexus dealer a little closer to the scene. i imagine those parking lots would provide pretty good cover on the run for him to ...

I've seen that on Facebook, too, just without the cowering liberal aspect.

My response, "yeah, because what we need now are a bunch of panicked citizens taking shots at everything that moves in their backyard."

J-lo... I don't know, so this is a legit question... Do the Chechen rebels/terrorists blew themselves up, as a rule? It might be that they've kind of modified the martyr thing a bit, and these kids just picked up on that. Again, not that they were coordinating with them, or were trained by them, bu...

It just seems extremely bizarre that these seemingly well-adjusted kids just up and decided to pull something like this off on their own. And that's not to say anyone helped them plan it.

CBS now reporting, with full "we're not sure" caveats, that there WAS a robbery at that 7/11, but these two guys weren't the ones doing the robbing. Only minutiae to most, but I'm still hung up on why these guys would feel the need to rob anyone given the obvious, MASSIVE downside to that ...

Look, they played the freakin' Bruins game on Wednesday. If their goal was to keep the city/country under some cloud of fear, they would've canceled all public events until further notice.

So... Um... I haven't seen it discussed much, but... Devoutly Islamic. Family says they've lost touch with them over the years.
