Senor Weaselo - May 31, 2016May 31, 2016

So here we are, the third and final installment of our bot-by-bot preview of this season's BattleBots. Twenty or so more robots, some may never make it to the fights, some may never make it to TV, some might actually win a fight or two or the whole thing. This final

Greetings. Last time we took a look at the first twenty hopefuls for this year's BattleBots Giant Nut. Let's take a look at another twenty, including the oldest robot in the field, my favorite-looking newcomer, and the robot I think is most likely to crash last year's contenders' party. I didn't

Hockey and basketball seasons are coming to a close, and we still need our fix of sports in the warm summer months, because we don’t all want to watch baseball. I mean, I do, but life sucks when the Mets are the best team in New York. (There are too

Copa América Centenario – Group D: Argentina and the Tale of Messisyphus

Don T - May 28, 2016May 28, 2016

For the last eight years, Lionel Messi has been in the handful of best players in the world and he will have the most accomplished club career in the history of the sport. Naturally, much of Argentina hates his guts. Argentinians were satisfied when this Pope was elected (Ché, he’s infallible already by

I love to write this post every year as it features the new guernseys that teams will use for their Round 10 games. The history of the aboriginal people of Australia is quite complex. Too complex for me to address in a simple post, but credit does have to be

(FYI: his name was Max; he was a rescued dog; he died of cancer at 8; he was the bestest.) The Browns paraded their top draft picks before the media. Something seems a little off about the picture: Wouldn't you line them up the other way? If this were Carolina, I'd say

Let’s Pick The Next New Currency Face

SonOfSpam - April 20, 2016April 20, 2016

Big news today: The Treasury announced that Andrew Jackson will be removed from the $20 bill and be replaced by Harriet Tubman. The reasons behind the change basically boil down to 1) We should have women on money (since they're the ones spending it amirite?), and 2) Andrew Jackson was

ballsofsteelandfury - April 12, 2016April 10, 2016

I know you're disappointed that, for travel-related reasons, your weekly dose of AFL Beat will be delayed. In an effort to tide you over, I offer this little analysis I did in which I asked the question: What if the NFL used the AFL system to determine playoff seedings? I compiled the

Chapter 12 Who was that gorgeous blonde Russian track girl? Who slipped that picture under the door? It seemed that Balls had friends but the picture did not have any of the tell-tale codes that M would have ordered to be included. Balls' mind was whirring with the possibilities.
