Did GPJ really get a book right? Our little boy is growing up!

Somehow I missed this over the holidays. Strong year for the Shirl. Musta been my lonely ACC basketball posts.

Yeah, that was a great game. The only thing it missed were some game winners/tiers at one of the various "ends." I thought it was unfortunate that the key play happened because the ref didn't enforce the rule granting space to the inbounder. The Kansas kid was literally touching him (whic...

I thought I was supposed to name the PM. I probably would have missed the act too, but at least I'd have had a chance.

Chelsea looked much better today. Maybe they are coming around. For most of the game, they were the more dangerous side and for once, they actually did something with their possession. If Oscar hadn't slipped on a PK (I still say that Costa should take those), they win 3-2. Fabregas was still mostly...

I honestly had no idea on an answer. That wording scrambled my brain, I guess. Seeing the answer, it was that hard, but it was awkwardly worded.

He does still hold the Most Rapes record. Barely.

Great win today for UVA over a tough-as-always Villanova team. UVA's defense isn't quite as sharp this year - and Nova hurt them at times - but the offense is the best Bennett's had. Their offense efficiency has risen to #1 on kenpom.com. On the flip side, the D fell to 14 after today's game. Curiou...

Chelsea looking much better this morning. Granted, Sunderland sucks, but still.

That's more my cultural level, I guess.

Btw, in my Europe trip a couple of summers ago, I did visit Paris and the Parthenon. Just not at the same time.

California DMV drafting regulations to require that driverless cars have a licensed driver in the vehicle. Kinda defeats the purpose, eh? I think this is a fair and reasonable temporary step. Once there is a critical mass of driverless cars then the laws can be adjusted. For now, the understanding ...

Yeah no. I'm guessing this is gonna be a low success rate.

This reality is getting still closer. This dude (yes, he seems like a total douche canoe) has built an autonomous car using parts he thinks he could see for $1K. Watch the video. It's pretty impressive. And, no, he's not some random shlub. This guy has real bonafides in the tech world as the first t...

I love how cheaper, better technology allows all sorts of smaller filmmakers to create really cool short films. This is a pretty cool scifi/dystopia short.

Chicago, Deep Purple and NWA, yes. Cheap Trick and Stevie Guitar Miller, as much as I love them, no. I'd take Steve Miller over Chicago or Deep Purple. Miller cranked out a TON of hits. I had forgotten just how many songs he had (that are still played on classic rock stations) until I saw him in co...

Shit, the books are killing me. I couldn't even come up with a good guess for this one. The three Poe works I could think of didn't fit.

I had to read that a few times to get it.

My wife never poops, so that can't be right.

Well done (but for a sentence in which he credits Ray Lewis for inspiring him) article on how Ravens punter Sam Koch is apparently revolutionizing punting. I've always wondered why there wasn't more variety in punting styles. For example, when trying to kick a short kick to pin a team inside the 10...

Yeah, my wife has always been a hard cider drinker (she hates beer). So I always have some in the fridge. It's good stuff, but I have to be careful because it goes down a lot easier and faster than beer.

I'd be happy to get rid of age restrictions in all college sports. Real universities are full of non-college-age students who had some sort of career (or life) and then went to college later. It's part of the environment. It seems that should be fine for sports teams as well. It's supposed to be col...

I watched the season finale last night and it seemed a bit underwhelming. It just sort of ended. Actually, thinking back to the comics, I do now remember that the scene WAS in the comics and it was pretty damn significant. I wonder if they'll attempt that in the show? Overall, I thought the season w...

Man, you guys were EXTRA safe!

Nah, I'm with DC on this one. Too many folks were way to quick to call this chick "crazy" based on some pretty vague descriptions by bronto of fairly benign behavior (going in another room is far from an extreme reaction). That said, I think the right call is to not go further with the rel...

Dammit. I was off by one year. I debated in my head and then chose the wrong one.

I agree with DC that too many here are quick to throw a "crazy" label on this woman. From what Bronto wrote, she WAS insulted by the fiancee. Bronto didn't seem to think it should be a big deal, but it's hard to really judge without knowing what was said. She's the new girl, visiting the f...

Speaking of traveling, is anyone else annoyed by the new James Harden Adidas commercial where he clearly travels? Then they show the frustrated defender.

Missed it the same way two contestants did.

Nah, I'm guessing just dejected players. It must have been very late in the game for the yellow team to have everyone in the box. Once the goalie busted out, they just let him go. I'm guessing only second left in a game they were already down 2-1.

Nice work.
