The hot stove season is underway with the biggest free-agent already reported to have signed. Juan Soto has signed with the Mets for $765 million guaranteed over 15 years. There are escalators in the contract that could take it over $800 million. This is the biggest contract in professional sports.

I'm not being hyperbolic when I ask where we should have plans to flee if shit goes bad in URSA (United Retarded States of America). My initial thought was obviously Canada since it's close being able to speak the language is key for us. It also turns out that Ireland is looking for teachers...

Can't believe there isn't a thread on concerts and their reviews so here goes. For us we've seen some good shows recently and thought it was worth passing along my thoughts. 1. Foo Fighers/The Hives/Amyl and the Sniffers Dave Grohl is as pure of a rock star as you'll find. It was a stadium...

Have you guys ever seen this? He's been doing this for years now and makes fun of pretty much everybody but this is probably his best work, maybe in the top ten of funniest YouTube videos of all time.

So I had to do an online personality/logic survey tonight for a job I'm interested in. It said it would take 20 minutes so I blocked out a half hour and set up my home office with the laptop, calculator and pen/paper. It is timed and once you start you can't stop so I silenced my phone, made...

With KDB, Haaland and Doku looking to return over the next couple weeks who is in City's best XI? Can anybody argue with this? ..........Haaland........... Doku...........Foden ............KDB............ Rodri........Bernardo Ake...Dias....Stones...Walker...

This will end a lot of confusion going forward and we will do it fair. Here's how it will work: You come up with something that you'd be willing to switch and then something that you want us to switch. We can debate a little but there shouldn't be a need because we're going to be mature and not...

That's the deal that Shohei Ohtani just signed with the Dodgers ($700 million/ten years). It's all guaranteed money so if he has a career ending injury tomorrow the Dodgers still have to pay. Who is he? He's MLB's only "two-way" player which means he pitches and hits. The problem is that he...

So I have some time and I've never been to England so I'm considering a last minute flight to Manchester to see the derby. Is it a good idea to fly over w/o a ticket? I see some for sale for around $250 American. Is this something I should do or is it a stupid idea?

It was 22 years ago today, I'll never forget the feeling of living in a country that was under attack. I was just pulling into work and had the Howard Stern show on and Baba Booey came into the studio and said a plane hit the WTC. I got into the office and let everybody know and we all went in...

Pizza is nature's perfect food, if I was told I could only eat one food for the rest of my life I wouldn't hesitate to choose pizza. That being said, pizza can also be controversial. Red or white? Thick or thin? Toppings or no? Is deep dish really pizza at all? Do you think Brits even know good...

There is literally nothing I can do or say that doesn't end up with her taking offense and yelling at me. If I clean the kitchen it means I think she's a bitch who doesn't know how to keep a clean kitchen. If I ask her if she bought toothpaste recently it's not because I want to know if we need...

Where I live servers and bartenders have a separate minimum wage of £2.21/hour ($2.83) so if they don't make tips they are screwed. When you visit the US (and assuming you haven't been shot) do you tip your servers? Do you tip your servers in England? I get the impression tipping isn't big in...

It's almost impossible to be supporting a team who was mid-level or lower for decades and then have them become the gold standard of their sport. It's so weird that I'm actually experiencing it with two teams at the same time. When City first became available back in 2006-07 I liked them right...

I'm bored waiting for the semi-final so I thought I'd look up and see how City did the first time I was alive. It turns out the played a derby two days after I was born and won 2-1 at Maine Road. What was your first match?

I found out yesterday a high school classmate of mine committed suicide. I wish I could say he's the first person I know who did this but he's not and it's a real shame. I thought it would be nice in his memory to post something in case a Blue Mooner is struggling. You have to know that people...

You guys beat Colombia today in a game you had no business being competitive in. I seriously doubted that you'd figure out a way to pick up a win against teams with way more MLB talent than GB but you did it. I'm not a huge fan of the WBC since they don't use pitchers like they're normally used...

What does it cost for a child to play for a decent football club in England? Like one that has good coaching and improves their game? In America it costs between $3,000-$5000 a year. Is that normal?

Before he retired David Letterman would have Jay Thomas on every Christmas to tell what he described as "The greatest talk show story of all time." Enjoy!

The hot stove is heating up and the Fightin's have laid down the gauntlet on the first day of the winter meetings. Trea Turner for 11 years/$300 million. As crazy as it sounds it's a team-friendly deal with a manageable aav. Now it's time to shore up the rotation and the pen...
