Game 1 Belonged To Brian Elliott

In the 2016 Western Conference Finals: The Great Unchokening, I (and Vegas) give the slight nod to the Blues. They’ve beaten better teams to get here, and they’re constructed more defensively-minded, the sort of team that succeeds in tight playoff games. That’s the blueliners, for sure, but more tha...

This Is An Incredible Road Rage Incident

Russell Wilson's Charming UW Commencement Address Was The Anti-Michael Jordan Hall Of Fame Speech

Look how chill that dude is right there.

Make A Ham Sandwich, Dunk It In Cream Sauce, And Call It A Croque Monsieur

I often wonder whether the infamous French grouchiness isn’t born of resentment over the fact that the most fertile, bountiful turf in all of the Western world has given them only the third-best cuisine, behind both Spain and Italy.
