    Josh Gordon put up a monster season last year, leading the league in receiving yards despite missing two games and playing in fucking Cleveland, you know, the team that was about to see if Ryan Leaf wanted to make a comeback at QB before he got thrown in jail again...

    How I Met Your Mother

    I've actually seen differing rumors, but as I understand it, it will be a completely new cast. Greta Gerwig has been cast as the lead, so if the HIMYM mom is in it, the show doesn't center around her. Possible rumor is it will center around Barney's Baby Moma. Either way, I don't have high...

    Wow, double post all by itself, neat. Another indispensable piece of mt. biking equipment imo is a good pair of riding glasses. I prefer something with interchangeable lenses.

    MLB's Flawed Replay System May Have Already Cost The Giants A Win - Business Insider I am glad that MLB is (finally) dipping its toes into replay. Hopefully it is the first baby step in fundamentally changing the archaic methods in which this game is officiated. However, it didn't take long...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Really? My Mother in Law, who I really like and get along with swimmingly, wanted to come spend a week living with us when we have our baby to "help us out" (she lives 30 minutes away). In very clear terms I told my wife there is no way in hell I am letting that happen. As a matter of fact, I am...

    Even non-career ending injuries can seriously derail a career.

    Well, considering what the Angels outlay is currently, it probably was a "if you want to stay here this is what we can give you" type of offer. There is some financial security there for Trout to, as he either signs now or plays what, 2 years under arbitration eligible terms while risking career...

    Prelude to Axanar (2014)

    There was a 4 year war between the Klingons and Federation which culminated with the Battle of Axanar. It was the pivotal battle of the war and the tactics used by Garth of Izar (then fleet commander) have since became required reading at the Starfleet Academy. Garth is/was one of Kirk's heros...

    And don't forget scoring 1620 runs this season! In all fairness, I am on the M's bandwagon this year. I made the most optimistic wager in my family Mariners bet with 81 wins. So anything above 81 (well, 79 technically) and I don't ever have to get my own beer for a year. Go M's!

    I hope this delivers as promised. Battle of Axanar should make an awesome movie. Plus it would be cool to show JJ Lens Flare how it is done. Plus Saul Tigh. I know that Star Trek is supposed to be about peace and exploration and what not, but lets face it, the Dominion War is probably the...

    I'm telling you, it is all the TV that they like to watch.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I'm sorry, the clever quips while fighting might be a "Spider Man" thing and may work well in the comics, but in all of the Spider Man movies it feels stupid. Especially since the voice-overs never ever match the on screen action and sound like very obvious voice overs.

    Man, that is brutal that you have to stress about the genetic disorder on top of the normal IVF stuff. We ended up with 3 useable embryos out of 19 eggs harvested.

    Brewers have been giving away their spent grain to farmers for centuries now without any ill effects to the food supply. It is a win-win relationship, and there is no way anything is happening to that spend grain that doesn't happen to most hay. As a matter of fact, much worse stuff probably...

    I have a similar set-up on my roof. The water runs down the roof into a lower gutter. I don't see how it is much different than all the other water that runs down the roof when it rains. Just because it is concentrated and thus erodes more? My inspector didn't seem to have any issue with it...

    I agree. I have so much great beer around me it makes no sense to me to put up with that nonsense, but I think the author did a good job pointing out that these things have become about more than just the beer. People attending these events do so to be a part of the "beer culture" and to say...

    When it comes to home inspections, be more worried if something DOESN'T show up. There is always something, usually a bunch of little shit. Just hope for nothing major, and if there is, either get the seller to fix it before you move in or get a concession on the sell price to fix it yourself.
