The Swamp

The best bicycle safety piece I have ever come across is this one: How To Not Get Hit By Cars . It should be required reading for people who bike commute, and for non-cyclists it's also a good peek into what a safe cyclist is thinking about on the road. Note that a lot of actions that will appear un...

Looks like I've finally found a place to drop my occasional anti-car musings. For now, I'll just say that a lot of problems at 4-way intersections with traffic lights would be eliminated by getting on board with leading pedestrian intervals (i.e., walk signs that get a head start on the adjacent gre...

Now I wish Dallas had offered its #1, Seth Curry and Bogut just for the humor potential.

I turned off the All-Star game for a Big Ten game, if that says anything.

Fuck the swedes, they've been dead to us ever since they conspired to meddle in the commodities markets.

Did anything batshit crazy happen today? They need to resurrect the color coded threat scale so that busy people who spend a day away from the Internet can know in advance what to expect.

The predictable national media response to NC State is in full swing. Jay Bilas went after them on Twitter. And here's Gary Parrish at CBS - http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/this-should-temper-wild-expectations-for-nc-state-i-wouldnt-touch-that-job/ They point out the fact that Gott...

The temporary pleasure in seeing someone qualified tell Trump to shove it up his ass is quickly replaced by a lasting dread that only idiots and loyalists will be left in the end.

Jesus Christ, even Mike McD and Worm had fewer Russian contacts than this.

It's no longer a mystery how those casinos went bankrupt.

To think, his legal team is only going to get worse and worse as talented people in Justice say fuck this and go for the big firm bucks.

"Wait, what did the press release mean "he was arrested"? I mean, he wasn't arrested. Oakley's only faking, right?" "You want me to read this or not?" "Who gets Dolan?" "I don't understand" "Who kills Dolan at the end? Somebody has to do it. Is ...

I wonder how long an Alabama vs. South Carolina basketball game would have to go on before I felt compelled to watch.

Rex

Another relevant example would be Coughlin, er, Ahmad Bradshaw deciding to take the TD where falling down on the 1 would have led to the world's easiest game-winning FG with no time remaining.

Rex

I think the stakes were slightly different for New England, since the game was tied. But only slightly.

He meant after there were Patriots fans

Feel pretty bad for folks around here. There were a lot of failures that contributed, but that second down decision is going to haunt the coach and coordinator for a long time. That's the sort of thing that takes you from being just someone who loses a lot to being the Browns.

This thing with Rick Barry having another kid playing college ball is some Grade-A weird shit, why is ESPN soft pedaling this?

Rex

Not that it matters too much under the circumstances, but this (Jamaica friendly) might be the single worst corners and set pieces game I have ever seen from a soccer team ever. There was one pretty clever one in the first half. The rest appear to have been designed to facilitate counterattacking fr...

I really can't see anything other than Patriots by like 25.

Rowdies ownership, St. Pete mayor, and members of the Ralph's Mob supporters group made their pitch today at MLS headquarters. Saw their ad in Times Square this week. Will it be as effective as this? http://cdn-s3.si.com/s3fs-public/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/1206/billboards-sports/images/joey-har...

What makes you suggest that these guys can't have a proper throwdown?

Just read about the emergency stay. Allah bless Judge Ann Donnelly. I have a lot of faith in the judiciary, and in the US legal institution as a whole, it's the one thing that keeps me from going cuckoo. People concentrate on the Supreme Court, and understandably enough, but the SCOTUS hears only a...

Imagine telling yourself as a kid that in 2017, the two most influential people in the American executive branch would be the sitting President of Russia and the head of a white nationalist media outlet. And by "executive branch", that includes the President.

I feel like the winner of the Kansas-Kentucky game should get to decide whether it's KU or UK until the next time they play.

Rex

He's such a coward. It won't be long before someone who is actually a threat to national security figures that out.

(Yes I realize that some people have figured that out already, and they now hold high positions in the administration. Don't @ me)

Be careful where you get robbed, folks

Rex

Don't get me wrong. We're a special kind of fucked with Trump. He's cutting off the oxygen supply with the immigrant stance and whatever the hell he's up to on voter fraud. But you will not convince me that people, regardless of political stripe, spend irrational amounts of trust, faith and especial...

People crave a powerful central authority and seem to think it should be vested in one person apparently--that might be more characteristic of the right but it's not limited to them. I really think this is almost entirely limited to the right. People on the left who have been deifying Obama So we a...

Well there goes that.

Why have one state TV network when you can have 10 of them?

I can only conclude that Pittsburgh did not want to score a touchdown there.
