Sticking To Your Values
“Sticking to Your Values”
“If you don’t stick to your values when they’re being tested, they’re not values, they’re hobbies.”
-Jon Stewart
That might be my favorite modern quote, because it’s one that rings so true these days, on both sides of the aisle. Every single president elect in recent times has stood up when the votes were [...]
Anatomy of a Draft
I am in the midst of my fantasy baseball draft. As I have mentioned on a few ocassions, this league is a strange beast. The main rule is that you are only allowed to start one player for each letter of the alphabet (based on last name). You can’t play Matt Holliday and Cole Hamels [...]

The Critic
Author’s note: This is the embellished version of an interesting dream I had Wednesday night.

Joe’s Olympic Adventure: After the Games
This is Joe’s final post from Canada
Our 4th day began with an unfortunate phone call. Our excursion to go Heliskiing was postponed due to the poor visibility and low ceiling. We had our ski boots at the shop, so we headed up with our skis and skied the Blackcomb Mountain. We walked [...]
Short But Sweep
Editor’s note: We’re happy to announce the return of Johnny Goodman!
