Belichick's Greatest Hits No. 1: Pink Stripes

There may be no wrong answers on this test, but I’ve given you the right one. Of all the great Bill Belichick moments, this one is the Belichickiest. Down through the years, it has gone by many names. Prior to seeing this interview, I had serious doubts that Adams existed. I assumed he might’ve just been Belichick’s Tyler Durden. The next week, he told me he’d forgotten to. And we laughed and laughed the way best friends do....

Dutch startup secures $25M to bring autonomous bricklaying robots to Europe

Dutch startup Monumental thinks it has a solution: AI-powered bricklayingrobotscapable of working autonomously alongside humans. They are small and nimble enough to go anywhere a person can. Bricklaying is a tough job. Its brutal on the back and knees, and doesnt pay very well. So its perhaps no surprise that theres a scarcity of young workers in Europe lining up to apply. The startup also looks to train its robots to take on new, more complex tasks....

Old, Bald, And Fat Is No Way To Go Through Life

It’s me, your friend Barstool Nate. I don’t think anyone used their real name besides Mo. Boom, boss loves me and my fake name, great first day at the job. Ok so that paragraph has nothing to do with why I’m writing this blog. Shout out to my single homies out there, we good!). So anyway, that first paragraph is setting the stage wonderfully for what this blog is about- personal growth....

Pearl Jam Should Get To Headline A Super Bowl Halftime

Pearl Jam should absolutely get to perform at a Super Bowl halftime show. I’m not saying theywillget to perform at a halftime show. I think that opportunity has passed. There was a time when rock bands performed nearly every year. All of those groups played a Super Bowl from 2001 on. If you grew up in the 1990’s, alternative music was the king of most the decade. Sadly, most of them are all gone....

There's Bullying And Then There's What The Celtics Did To The Nets In Their 50 Point Rout Heading Into The All Star Break

It’s why heading into last night, they had lost 9 of 10. Well, that is now 10 of 11 and 4 straight, this time by 50 goddamn points. No, that is not a typo. A legit 50 burger. Do people understand how hard it is to win an NBA game by 50 points? To do that once in a season would be very impressive, but what about doing it twice?...

Belichick's Greatest Hits No. 2: The Time He Shut Down the Rams Offense. Yes, That Time.

The greatest example was the time they were called upon to defend their own against the K-Gun of Buffalo. Bill, it is told, had a unique plan. Some doubted his wisdom. They prided themselves on the fact they hadn’t given up 100 yards to anyone. And this felt like dark magic to many. And yet they trusted in Little Bill, so they agreed to follow his plan. And it was successful....

Liam Blutman's 2024 NFL Mock Draft 1.0

Good morning or evening. Thank you for boarding this journey with me as we dive headfirst into NFL Draft season. For a very quick rundown on how I like to mock… So I’ll throw a few non-player comps out there, just a few. Some of his highest highs come from making jaw dropping plays out of thin air. Weakness: Finds himself in trouble too often because of that. The play is over, move on and play for another down....

The Celtics Are Back To Kicking Ass And Taking Names And The Best Part Is They Can Still Get Even Better

There was a time when beating the Nets used to mean something whenever BOS/BKN linked up. Now with most of the star power gone, this is simply just a bad matchup for the Nets. That’s really all this is, and they certainly aren’t alone. Just look across the East and you’ll see a lot of similar runs. The Celts have won 6 of 7 against MIA, because they’re a bad matchup for the Heat....

The New Trailer For 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' Shows Us We're About To Get All The Nonsensical Fun That These American Monster Movies Should Be About

We’re in the middle of the golden age of Godzilla and it’s beautiful. Brought back major nostalgic 1954 OG vibes in the best way. Even Steven Spielberg was blown away which brought director Takashi Yamazaki to tears. It served as a nice “have on while you’re going to sleep” piece of content. But now we turn our attention back to the Legendary Pictures Monsterverse movies. Godzilla and Kong are set to do battle once again at the end of next month....
