Freakonomics' current podcast is about Leicester City, but so far it'd be review for just about any footy fan.

Yeah, you suck. I have 33. points, suck it! So here's my admission: my bracket is almost entirely cribbed from some reputable site's playoff preview (featuring actual hockey people). I'm almost wondering if I could have done better on my own.

http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/199/66674/ I'm a sucker for gimmick beers. I really am. Give me something strange and I'm on it like PA on scrapple or pi2000 on a report that Auston Matthews may have signed a marketing deal with Swiss Chalet even though he doesn't actually eat chicken. Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin surely falls into that category. The difference here is a really do like it after having it. It's pretty warm, like, I just ate a portion of wings (hot) and I have that nice full-mouth burn going (disclaimer: I don't eat as much hot food as I used to). The fruit in the habanero comes out, as do the hops. It's not something I'd buy a case of, but I'd like to have a 6-pack every few months.

It so is.

Thanks for going for it PA; I saw the picture, thought of the conversation, and immediately tried to think of ways to non-creepily complement a young woman over the internet as middle-aged, married, parent. I didn't think it could be done, but then you go and do it with great aplomb.

Maybe you just need to find the right IPAs. I immediately thought of this, even though it's a little over your ideal numbers: http://www.yardsbrewing.com/ales/ipa

Phew, we were all getting anxious that she hadn't checked in. :) (In all seriousness, clothes shopping sucks)

Crush it you will. My wife is somewhat allergic to cats and it's finally come to a head so we're trying to find homes for our three furry kids. I'm sad about it even though I know that I'm a jerk and once they're in their new places they'll be happy and I won't miss them as much as I think I will. I'm not sure if I'm complaining about the cats at this point or the realization that I'm a terrible person.

Something vaguely Buffalo-like in the top right and crossed swords in the contrails.

AGAIN!

Finely done, this one.

Enroth booty text.

Not in the consumer space. I have to think there'd be something in the commercial world.

We've: great news. Josie: you're quite fetching so knock it off with the nonsense-talk; and I'll echo that you're going to crush it. Awesome: new set of summer tires on the car; it's just so planted compared to the snows when it's too warm.

Please don't take my response as apologizing for the Bills; I just think that data is at least someone a competitive advantage. As for the policy, I couldn't care less if the Bills end up 7-9 instead of 8-8 this year because of it.

You don't think "The Bills spent all morning working on an end-around from the I formation" isn't helpful information for other teams?

Now you're just fishing for complements. :)

Agreed, that seems to be the uniform for interview and first day unless otherwise directed. Women can dispense with the tie, unless you're Paula Poundstone.

Sage gin and Fever Tree Tonic makes a mighty fine Gin and Tonic. I might have to stop at Wegmans on the way home to get some tonic now. http://www.artintheage.com/our-spirits/sage/

I haven't seen any of those "Cthulu: why vote for the lesser evil?" stickers this year. I think that says something.

Maybe they're mad?

There could be a grain of truth in there, but it'd be more likely that it'll be rule changes to protect the players that fans will hate.

I'm amused there's at least one poster here with a semi-nude woman as an avatar and no one is complaining.
