The Swamp

I get that Miles is a quirky dude who has taken a few strange risks over the years, but I find the idea of running him off comical. Take a step back and look at how good LSU has been over his years there. They've been in the national picture nearly every year. And that's during a time when he's had ...

So they can both watch the hockey game.

Not The X-Files?

I'll save you guys the video, but for Chelsea fans, Diego Costa's goal today was beautiful.

Yeah, no.

Who the fuck throws their gum in the urinal? At work? I mean, I'm at Microsoft, surrounded by highly educated white-collar workers. It's baffling to me.

I probably go about 10-15 wearings or 3-4 months before I wash my jeans. They are the only piece of clothing that I wear that does not immediately go in the dirty clothes bin after wearing. This is about my schedule too. I used to wash them after every wear, like all of my clothes, until I read abo...

I like that the league made the teams dress up in those clown uniforms as punishment for their awful play.

That's incredible. That kid would be, what, a junior in high school?

Dammit. The correct answer would have been my second choice.

That was fascinating.

The last paragraph, about Fred Phelps himself softening in his final months, shocked me.

Actually got that one right, but almost bailed on my answer. After I said it in my head, one of the names started sounding like I'd just made it up. Luckily, I stuck with it.

Watt should speak more gingerly in the future.

That has to be the most benign trash talk to ever get a passionate response in NFL history. I guess it's not just Dalton's pale skin that's overly sensitive.

I start thinking of hypothetical outcomes to certain events and I sometimes get legitimately pissed off at something that hasn't even happened, but in all likelihood won't. My wife does this to an extreme. She constantly assumes the worst case scenario for pretty much everything, and feels the stre...

Pro tip: Next time a tragedy occurs, look for another tragedy happening at the same time so you can self-righteously admonish people for not paying attention to it instead. Perfectly stated. The reaction of people to an event like what happened in Paris on Friday is becoming completely predictable....

College hoops is back! I watched most of UVA's game last night against a weak Morgan State team. Of course, Virginia won easily so one shouldn't read too much into it, but a few observations: 1. Darius Thompson, a soph transfer from Tennessee, is much better than expected. He's big and athletic and...

I don't know what form an effective anti-concussion helmet would take in soccer. But unless it's far different from the headband-style that is now used by a few players (and for which there is little evidence of effectiveness) then this won't be an issue. You have to do the right things to head the...

Aneurysms are one of the crueler facets of our evolutionary process. They're just like these vestigial ticking time bombs of doom inside of us that we don't even know about until they explode. That's scary as hell. (AB points that evolution can't be cruel) wrt aortic aneurysms, this living past 35y...

I agree that banning punting makes a lot of sense in conjunction with this. In my experience, by the far the hardest headers (and the ones most folks shied away from) were off of punts. For youth players, it's probably good to have them work on passing out of the defensive end anyway. I'll concede t...

I was going to post something similar to GPJ, but he did a good job of highlightning my points. In a lost season, Manziel can't learn from the bench. Makes me think they've already decided to move on and draft someone who also won't get a chance to prove they can be a servicable starter. I agree wi...

Alanis got way hotter as she aged. Indeed. And I was actually surprised that she could sing so well. For some reason, I assumed she was one of those singers who couldn't really do it live. I've always wondered how she felt about that song. She must hear all the damn time about how nothing in that s...

How speakers work.

That is a great example of an excellent visual explanation of a pretty complex topic.

I'm a lifelong Northeasterner who moved to St. Louis about a year ago.

I actually just watched the end of this season on my DVR (I'm back in NC). Somehow I fell behind back when it originally aired, and the episodes were overwritten before I got a chance to see them.

Nope. I'm curious to know how people got this one.

In my experience with youth soccer, heading isn't really a huge part of the game before U11 anyway. Hell, I bet the majority of kids that young wouldn't head it if you wanted them too. Even more, since headers are kinda rare, it's extra rare for two kids to aggressively go at a head ball and bang co...

Am I supposed to recognize all of those athletes? I think I could definitively name 4 or 5 (Gronk, Suh, Ben, Odell, Mariota).

And I'm done.

I actually had QJ in the small blind - not a terrible place to jam before the flop (when you have a very short stack). Unfortunately, it happened to be a hand where another dude had AA.

I'm pretty sure that's my worst showing ever.
