- The brutal math of climate change.
- The Colts called an idiotic trick play that had no chance of working unless the defending Super Bowl champions were suddenly replaced by a third-rate high school team. But that’s not the best part. The best part is that Pagano went ahead with it even though the snapper had never practiced the play. So Whalen didn’t even screw up, exactly; he went forward with the play as it existed in the playbook, and had no reason to be aware of the new wrinkle. It’s just that Pagano was so proud of his silly play — which he had been working on for more than a year! — that he called it even though he didn’t have the appropriate personnel for it. In conclusion, the reason the Patriots are a far better team than the Colts is probably underinflated footballs.
- BREAKING! A man with no actual chance to win the Democratic nomination still may or may not be entering the race. Try to contain your excitement.
- The pathetic endgame of Stephen Harper.
- Greg Howard’s takedown of Jason Whitlock is immensely entertaining.
