There’s A <i>Hike</i> Book Tour And You’re Invited
One quick note about book tours: I do not plan them. I have no say over where the good folks at Penguin decide to send me when it comes to whoring my new dose of stoner fiction live in person. Book tours tend to be expensive and therefore limited in stops, unless you happen to be some big swinging d...

Offer Sheet Drama Might Be My Favorite Part Of The NHL Calendar
There is nothing that gets hockey people riled up quite like offer sheets. Nothing. The mere rumor of their existence is enough to send fans clogging talk radio lines, and set GMs to vowing revenge and—quite literally—challenging each other to fights. Well, we’re two days away and I am fucking psych...
The Mariners Lost In The Dumbest Way
The Seattle Mariners lost their sixth straight game this afternoon to move below .500 and cap off a long slide in which they’ve gone 8-19 and have been swept three times.

LeBron's Block Still Doesn't Seem Possible
A lot of incredible, spectacular shit went into Game 7. The balance of all this shit tilted slightly in favor of the Cavs, and that was always going to be the case in any scenario that had the Cavs actually winning—in a strictly player-for-player accounting, they are very clearly less good than the ...
