True! I can't relate personally to that one (seriously, the inside of my head is weird enough without deliberately prying open the attic door) but I totally understand David Wells' hangover no-hitter. When you're on autopilot and that little voice of self-doubt is sleeping it off, you just get...

Finally had some time to pick up briar again! Some Blackhorse-gifted ERR in an LL Bean bent. I've heard tell ERR was rebadged as LL Bean tobacco back in the day... no idea if it's true, but a tasty combo today.

I'm a big fan of pitchers... something about that postion goes hand-in-glove 8) with endearing stories. Bird, Spaceman, Dock Ellis' no-hitter in the middle of an LSD trip. Remember Jim Abbott? Current favorite is R.A. Dickey. Great comeback story, a real student of the game, nice human being...

Just a picture of Brad Pitt.

"Nice pipe stand." "You should see my tobacco pouch."

Glad you are here to post about it, and a big salute to you and the people who teamed up to keep you on this side (including the donors of those 23 blood units.)

I will always stand by a fellow lover of the leaf, however he or she may enjoy it. But I do try to discourage cig-smoking friends from buying Philip Morris/Altria brands, given that company's Faustian bargain to support Federal tobacco legislation. (And then I tell 'em to try a pipe, but...

You're starting to sound like one a them bow-tie wearin' perfessors with their so-called "rigorous mathematical models" and "insistence on accurate definitions," PB! Told you not to drink the water last time you were in NYC. A better word than "implications" would be "consequences." (Sadly...

It's stupid as all get-out... but long-term, if they aren't doing it constantly, the body will absorb the saline in a few hours and there won't be stretch marks or sag. Skin has a shocking amount of give. Those of you who've seen your wives 24 hours before and 24 hours after labor and delivery...

I asssume the titular "very hard lesson" is how hard it is to dig a deep enough hole to bury one's best friend in a sand trap?

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy or harder-working BoB mod. Enjoy it, BH.

There it is in a nutshell. The game is the rules is the game. You could staff every team with scabs, and with quality refs you would still have NFL Football (albeit poorly played.) With scab refs, you have... something else, in a dozen different unpredictable varieties across the nation on...

This is my first year in a bidding-style draft league, plus they started doing keepers this season, so I inherited some past guy's roster... a mixed blessing. It is not a good team--mostly hot-or-cold players instead of solid yard grinders--but last week everyone was hot. And there are some...

Any Fantasy managers out there? I can't be the only one. What sort of league do you play in? How was your draft? How's your season so far?

RIP, Steve. :( Nothing will ever capture sport in America like NFL Films, with its gorgeous editing, stentorian narration ("...the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field") and classic brassy soundtracks (especially those by Sam Spence.)

Good on you, Kaiser! Enjoy it.

I always do a saltwater gargle when I feel the tickle of a cough or postnasal drip. I used to do neti (nasal irrigation) but it was just too messy. One quibble with this article: a saltwater rinse is only isotonic if it's made in isotonic proportion, i.e. the same salinity as the fluid inside...

I'm so ready for some football... my Fantasy team, not so much. Never join a keeper league if you weren't there at its founding. My own stupidity is enough to ruin a team without inheriting some other guy's mistakes from last season.
