Sports & Recreation > Football Players Pound for pound, who was the best NFL quarterback?: 1 of 21
No discussion of the greatest pound-for-pound quarterback is complete without mentioning Doug Flutie. Generously listed at 5'10" and 180 lbs, Flutie played 12 seasons for a few NFL teams. Maybe when the single-digit Super Bowls were being played, 180 lbs wasn't that small, but in the 90's and 00's that's a good 6" shorter and... More..
Food & Drink > Soup & Stew Recipes Recipes: Home made chicken noodle soup: 1 of 8
As a child, my mother used to feed me a certain popular canned chicken noodle soup (in a red and white can,) when I was sick. Nothing against her for giving me ultra-high temperature pasteurized, sodium-laden, soup that could survive an apocalypse, but there is a viable home-made option that only takes about an hour and a hal...

Politics, News & Issues > Baseball Will the Mitchell Report and Bud Selig's actions wreck the credibility of baseball?: 5 of 16
Four years after San Francisco Chronicle journalists Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada broke the BALCO story, we finally have the Mitchell Report to tell us what we already knew. To me this does not change anything. The credibility of baseball is as it was before December 13, 2007. Believe it or not, baseball is not a reli... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Economy Is there a valid argument for stopping oil importation: 1 of 3
Let me just preface this article with a few facts about my personal bias. I have a passion for traveling the world and learning about different cultures and languages. I earn dollars. I am upset at the weakness of the US dollar and it's effects on the quantity of fun that I can have in foreign countries. Not being a macro-ec... More..
Food & Drink > Poultry Recipes Recipes: Chicken legs: 5 of 14
To me there's nothing more satisfying than some slowly cooked barbecued chicken legs slathered in barbecue sauce. When I was in college, this was a main staple of my diet, because of the economical nature of the protein. The flavor to dollar ratio is very high.Cheap it is, but there are many ways you can mess this dish up.Fir... More..
Food & Drink > Meat & Poultry The dangers of eating undercooked meat: 5 of 14
I think the only thing you really have to cook all the way through is poultry. There's nothing good about rare poultry anyways, so there's no reason not to. As far as the FDA guidelines, you shouldn't cook the breast to 165 degress though. 155 will do you fine if you're roasting. For grilling, I like to sear it quickly on one... More..
Sports & Recreation > Football (Other) Assessing Tony Kornheiser's legitimacy as a Monday Night Football commentator: 4 of 9
For years, ABC's Monday Night Football has been at the pinnacle of sports broadcasting. The best broadcasters, edgy personalities, and eloquent ex-players have helped turn a simple football game into a highly-watched weekly spectacle. Following its move to ABC's subsidiary ESPN in 2006, with the addition of Tony Kornheiser, e... More..
Food & Drink > Cooking Fruits & Vegetables Tips for baking potatoes: 5 of 11
My philosophy on baked potatoes is based on how to ensure the edibility of the skin. There is actually quite a bit of fiber in the skin, so if you're going to eat a carb-laden 'tater you may as well eat the skin to help nature take its course.Give yourself a good hour to hour and a half.Preheat the oven to 325.Wash dirt of po...

Food & Drink > Liquors & Spirits Product reviews: Southern Comfort: 3 of 5
Southern Comfort is not good for you. I guess no alcohol is, but if you've ever overdone it with SoCo, that's a mistake you only make one time.For me it's on the same list as Cuervo Gold and Bacardi Dark, as huge mistakes. Not only is whiskey itself prone to producing a nasty hangover, but Southern Comfort is infused with a s... More..
