How To Cook For Yourself Every Day, And Stock Your Kitchen Like A Pro
I love Sundays, but not the way I used to. Time was, it was a day for sleeping in, going to brunch, watching sports, ordering a pizza, dicking around. But here's the new itinerary: Wake up early, go to the farmer's market, buy a boatload of awesome produce (produce being a thing I now consider awe...
Why Ohio State Is A Sneaky-Bad Match-up For Oregon
Oregon looks like a clear favorite over Ohio State in the college football championship game. The markets opened with Oregon as a 7 point favorite, which implies a 70 percent win probability. The predicted margin of victory is even higher with my team rankings based on margin of victory at The Powe...
Suns Make Four-Fingered Foam Hands To Honor Gerald Green
Let me start by saying I had no idea that Suns swingman Gerald Green only has nine fingers. I feel ashamed to admit this, because I love Gerald Green!...
Hating Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Is For Suckers
One of the only things I dislike about writing this column is that no matter the topic of the day—be it my wife, my cat, the sports teams I root for, or even, on a slow day for me personally, beer—one of you hamless eggers is guaranteed to find a way to tell me that my position is invalid because I'...
Barcelona Respond To Chaos With Best Win Of The Year
In the picture above, which captures a scene from Barcelona's 3-1 victory over Atlético Madrid last night, you can see Barcelona's entire season. It shows Luis Suárez, Neymar, and Lionel Messi—the three players whose individual brilliance has kept the team in the hunt for all the major trophies de...
Football Player Gets His Soul Juked Out Of Him
This is like if someone got simultaneously crossed up and posterized during a basketball game. You might want to look away if you have issues with second-hand shame:...
The New McDonald's Ad Is Bullshit
Whether you watched football or the Golden Globes yesterday, you were likely exposed to a new McDonald's ad that featured inspirational messages ("BOSTON STRONG," "HUG THOSE DADS," etc.) from the fast-food company's readerboards around the country. (We made our own, more honest version of the ad, ...
Tangle-Free Magnetic Earbuds, 60-Can Rolling Cooler, and More Deals
Amazon's in-house magnetic earbuds are actually pretty great, and luckily, you don't have to buy a Fire Phone to get them. Normally, they sell for $19, but today only, you can get a pair for $12, plus a $1 Amazon MP3 credit. These were one of the most popular items we listed last year. [Amazon Prem...
Draymond Green And Steph Curry's Family Get Into It With Seahawks Fans
Warriors superstar Steph Curry is a big Carolina Panthers fan, and he was in attendance for the team's road playoff loss to Seattle. At some point, things got a little testy with the home fans, and it was Curry's wife, mother, and teammate Draymond Green in the thick of things....

Damian Lillard Is Fearless
The Portland Trail Blazers are a very good basketball team that is fun to watch, and human firecracker Damian Lillard is a big reason why....
My God, My God, The Hawks Are A Fucking Juggernaut
The Atlanta Hawks led the Washington Wizards 87-77 after the third quarter yesterday, which isn't nothing as leads go, but, in its broad outline the game still had the feel of one whose outcome could go either way. The Hawks looked sharper, sure, but the Wizards had won the second quarter and got...
What Was Wrong With Peyton Manning?
Everyone who watched the Broncos lose to the Colts yesterday could see that something wasn't right with Peyton Manning. He spent the first half air-mailing wobbly deep balls and the second half firing short, non-lethal passes while generally looking like an overmatched old guy. So what the hell was ...
The Cavaliers Need LeBron Back In A Goddamn Hurry
The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped their fifth straight game after getting thwacked by the Sacramento Kings last night. It was their ninth loss in the last 11 games, and the team is now 1-8 in games in which they do not have the services of LeBron James. The Cavs weren't that great even before LeBron J...
The NFL's Rules Are Dumb
The thing we have to establish to be able to talk about this with the same frame of reference is that Dez Bryant didn't catch that football. Oh sure, maybe he had the ball firmly in his grasp, maybe he was confident enough in his possession to turn and lunge for the end zone, wheeling his feet under...
What Do The Broncos Do Now?
Peyton Manning did not look right today. Maybe it was his vague thigh injury, surgically repaired neck, or some other ailment, but his throws were inaccurate and rough. Manning barely completed half of his passes, finishing 26 of 46 with one touchdown and 211 passing yards. The Colts go to the AFC c...
Chuck Pagano's Dad Gnawing On His Cigar, In Slow Motion
Yeahhhh. That's Sam Pagano, father of Chuck Pagano, chomping on his cigar as he watches his son coach the Colts. Never has slow motion been more necessary....
