Knee Jerk Reactions to Week 13: Patriots vs. Chargers

Things to consider as I suffer for my art. But there’s no need for well-being checks here. I moved way beyond agonizing over this team. I started steering into the skid of the 2023 Patriots weeks ago. Now they’ve become something much bigger than just a football team with an astonishingly bad offense. They’re that thing you enjoy ironically. You consume they’re content just to see how bad it can get....

Monday Rap: Thoughts On The Golf Ball Rollback, Tiger's Latest Comeback And The Strange Collin Morikawa Penalty

Under that scenario, there would’ve been a “pro ball” and a regular ball. Rather than back off the rollback entirely, the governing bodies opted to rollback the ball for all golfers. While increasing the swing speed, the test would not change the distance limit of 317 yards. Balls would then have to be made to stay within that 317-yard standard. The benefits of the rollback are clear. That’s not sustainable from a money or land perspective....

The Guy: Jordan Love Just Out-Played Patrick Mahomes And Beat The Chiefs On Sunday Night Football to Fully Ignite The Packers' Season

Jordan Love was a mixed bag and full of unanswered questions and issues. The defense was trash. LaFleur was coaching scared. Nothing was going right. I genuinely never saw this coming after the Vikings game. I cannot believe how good Love looks right now. It’s a completely different quarterback than what we saw against the Raiders, Vikings, and Broncos. Everything honestly seems easy for him. The protection has been amazing also, with a big assist coming the way of Zach Tom....

This giant dome battery cuts CO2 emissions — by using more CO2

Renewable energies like wind and solar are clean, abundant, and cheap but notoriously unpredictable. Imaginatively, it is called the CO2 battery. The way it works is relatively simple. CO2 gets stored in a gigantic dome. The compression process also produces heat which is stored in bricks made ofsteel shot and quartzite for later use. On its way back to the dome, however, the gas spins a turbine, producing electricity. 40% off TNW Conference!...

Dumping Them Out: Speed Ranking Songs

Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. I feel like doing something a little different this week. The other night I was laying in bed and someone in a commercial was waving a flag. I thought to myself, “Remember that World Cup song Wavin' Flag?” 18 year old me thought that was the single greatest piece of art that had ever been produced. Idk what it was about that song, but it fucking ruled....

The 'Juan Soto To The Yankees' Trade Momentum Has Temporarily Stalled After The Padres Asked For a King's Ransom, But At Least Legitimate Talks Are Happening?

Negotiations between the Yankees and Padres surrounding Juan Soto continue to happen. That in itself is very exciting. It’s also terrifying when you consider Brian Cashman is at the forefront of said negotiations. Assuming that idiot will do the right thing is beyond naive at this point. Andy Martino has been on top of all tidbits leaking from these conversations. He’s going to quickly find out that he’ll fail that mission....

The Celtics Win Over The Undermanned Sixers Was One Of The Grossest Displays Of Basketball We've Ever Witnessed

Not just rotation guys, but stars. In Game 2 it was the Celts without Porzingis/Jaylen, and last night it was the Sixers missing Embiid/Maxey. The same is true with any big matchup. Fans want to see the stars out there. We also know that in a game like this, it can be easy to overlook the opponent. In the end, it was one of the grossest wins we’ll probably see all year....

Tommy Devito's Dad is The Greatest Plumber in The World, "I'm probably the fastest boiler installer you've ever seen"

I once lived with a dude who made a career out of being a panhandler. I respected that man. He then used that $10k to get himself an apartment in Silver Lake. But he still had to keep making money. So every weekend, he would pack up his backpack and tent. Somewhere like San Fernando. He’d sit there with a sign asking for money from Friday-Sunday, then come home Sunday night....

Report: Josh McDaniels Problems in Vegas Included Being Weirded Out by Mark Davis and Trying to Be Too Much Like Belichick (Again)

Over the last couple of weeks, it’s been quiet on the Trashing Josh McDaniels front. But by no means does that mean he’s out of the woods. And again they’re being plunged into his back. A few things about this report. One, is that it’s long and seems to be well researched and sourced. Two, that it’s hardly not without an agenda.
