Don't know about you carbon-based erg units but things started winding down at my work spot yesterday afternoon. Today the normal 8-9 hour cycle was compressed into 3 or 4 because there's nothing much to do. It's sorta fitting that this occurs at this time at the end of the

Sports-wise, don't you just love this time of year? You said "no!". Really? Are you on (more) drugs (than usual)? Let's flash forward to late July-hmm, I could take in a baseball game [flips channel] or another baseball game [flips channel again] or another baseball game. SO MANY CHOICES! As

I don't watch my local news too much because it's from a god-awful 75K-strong 'city' two hours away. I was watching today though and was reminded that one of the news broadcasters was a nationally (somewhat) significant sports guy just a few years ago. He's been reporting stories about Aunt

Ari @ Phi: The Iggles are fighting for that "we're just barely better than you" title that is the NFC East championship. Arizona? They've got the top down, the music is pumping and all of  QB Carson's balls are in the air like he just don't care. Go Cards!

No see, it's Thursday Night Football disguised as Other Night Football. It's more special that way. Do you feel the specialness that's being imposed upon you by the heads that are talking? No? I knew that you're the sort of commentariat that wouldn't fall for that sort of thing. NYJ @ Dal:

[looks at past work week in rear view mirror] So glad that's behind me. Friday night feels like all kinds of Bloody Mary, Pinot, Scotch and Mill St. Lager all mixed together in my tum-tum-tummy. Games-wise NHL-wise we've got Bos/Pit, TB/Was, SJ/Ott and the Rangers on the ice tonight. Also,

TB @ StL: Wow-it's come to this. I can't think of a single person that would be interested in this game. Okay, maybe one booze-soaked IT guy that has some vague connection to this site but otherwise this is yet another production from Roger Goodell Points And Laughs At You-An NFL

I'm watching Anatomy Of A Murder. Jimmy Stewart is a proto-Stanislavskian beast wandering around a bunch of cardboard cut-out actors. The references to Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Blind River are the icing on the Tim Horton's doughnut. Tonight in the NBA the best battle of sub .500 teams features

In order to fix a mess of my own making I drove pretty much non-stop for twelve hours today. Back in the day I did deliveries all day long. THANKS FOR THE FLASHBACK, BRAIN LAPSE! Sports-wise we've got a wee bit of Duke bullying Georgia Southern and Cincy doing same versus

NYG @ Mia: Having lost 4 of their last 5 the Giants are sending notice to the rest of the NFC East that as far as the championship of the division is concerned, they're in this for the long run. The Fins are responding with, "Playoffs?, Playoffs?" Literally dozens of

NE @ Hou: The Gronk is listed as Questionable. The player most statistically invested in him playing is not Gronk, it's Br*dy. Mike Sando has pointed out that since 2010 when Gronk entered the league, Brady is 182/42 with respect to TD/Int's when the former is on the field. When
