Here's something I've always wondered; Why can't I compared apples to oranges? They're both fruit. I think there's quite a bit to compare...taste, texture, nutritional content, etc.

Whatever. At least we don't have to live in Ghana.

It seems like Altidore does everything except put the ball in the net.

Isn't Montana a pretty damn cold place too? Or did they mean in comparison to Baltimore?

I'm gonna laugh my ass off at all the drama queens here if Maybin tears it up this year. Sure, he could be a bust, but plenty of players (especially known projects) have bad rookie years and go on to good careers. Seriously, why is everybody so quick to completely write the guy off? There's only a handful of rookies each year that have big impacts and he wasn't one of them...big deal. Let's just wait and see what he brings this year.

Pardon the pun, but if you sleep with dogs you get fleas. Maybe Vick isn't guilty of anything here...but why is he hanging out with guys who carry pieces? I mean, the guy has the shortest leash of anybody in the NFL. Jesus, couldn't Vick just lay low and celebrate his birthday with a couple friends at a restaurant or bowling alley or something? Of course, AI proved you can get into trouble at a bowling alley too. Maybe he's stopped the dog fighting, but if I'm Goodell this proves to me that his judgment hasn't improved one bit.

I'm impressed by any professional chef who's under 180. I'm decent at cooking, but if I had any serious talent I'd probably be pushing 300

Yeah, weight does that. When I decided to lose a bunch of weight (successfully), I found that it wasn't a good idea to weigh myself every day. Leads to discouragement because you could be really loyal to your diet/exercise plan for a day and still gain weight for no explainable reason. Better method is doing it every week or every two weeks. Which one of these seems simpler and less stressful? Day 1: 200.0 Day 2: 199.5 Day 3: 200.0 Day 4: 199.0 Day 5: 199.5 Day 6: 199.0 Day 7: 199.0 Day 8: 198.0 or Day 1: 200.0 Day 8: 198.0 Same result without all the grief.

You could make something in the morning and pack it to go.

Brown, long-grain. I'm a convert to whole grain.

I try to stay away from most extreme sugar sources, but Rita's is an exception every time I travel to Philly or Boston. Stuff can't be beat. They put one in Buffalo and it closed down after one season.

Yep. It's nothing too complicated. Just mince tomato, onion and jalapeno pepper. Natural juices come from all three ingredients, and you can add a splash of water if you want more moisture. Add a few squeezes of lime juice (or lemon if that's what you have available) and cilantro to taste. Enjoy.

Roasted green bell pepper stuffed with rice and home-made pico de gallo. Also, a salad of fresh greens drizzled with miso-ginger dressing.

Well, I assume it wouldn't hurt as much on your manicorn horn.

Amen to that...I've got til 9 this evening til my weekend though.

You'll always be Steely Dan to me...happy birthday dude!

Sarcasm meter broken?

Especially sexual rights. I think the parent of a six year old has the right to be a part of their child's life, but not when it comes to the bedroom.

Graham is a journalist, but his blog on espn.com is not journalism...it's a blog.

Gonna cozy up with a nice can of Slurm and watch.

The people who are big enough golf fans to actually watch a tournament live gave him good reactions...I think there is a fair amount of vitriol from the general public, especially women.

Actually, I'm a seldom-used long relief pitcher. But seriously yes, YOU have OUR number. Fans participate in their respective franchises too, so I stand by the colloquialism.

I'll be impressed if you go and hunt one.

Angels I assume? Can't think of too many other teams that have our number...anyway, Yankees took the last series.
