I recently put in an application at a startup company that fits my skills and experience pretty well. I just went back on the job site today and saw that the same company has posted another position -- exact same qualifications, requirements, etc. The only difference is the subject area of...

Huge controversy brewing over the last couple of days here in Massachusetts, where a female golfer shot the lowest score in a sectional tournament. But according to state association rules, she was not declared the medalist. Link Some bullet points: She plays on a boys team, because her...

There are so many things we love about baseball. The games are played in the warmest months of the year during and around the summer, and (mostly) outdoors. Though a hotly debated topic these days, the timeliness and leisurely pace of the game allows us to just kick back, relax and soak it all...

Cruising through Sirius radio recently and stumbled upon Ch. 18, their new (allegedly temporary) one-hit wonder channel called "One-derland". Last night I was listening a bit and "She's a Beauty" by The Tubes came on and I got annoyed. I don't consider The Tubes a one-hit wonder because they...

I have a Discover card that I had been keeping mainly for emergencies because of its higher limit. It normally had a small balance and I had it on autopay, so I really hadn't been paying much attention to it (I know, not smart, but ...). Within the last year, I did end up using the card for a...

I am part of a group of friends who go to a different city to watch baseball each year. This year's trip is heading to KC in mid-June, and one of the things we're planning is a side trip up to Omaha to catch the College World Series. We would be going to the Thursday night session, which is a...

Link I'm surprised this hasn't been posted here yet. Then again, maybe it's refreshing when we finally reach a point that a story like this is no big deal. But I certainly don't think we're there yet. Regardless, I'm very proud of the history made today at my alma mater. Congrats, Derrick.

The Road to Philly begins with the bracket unveiling: No. 1 Syracuse vs. Bryant ... Sunday, 7:30, ESPNU No. 8 Penn State vs. Yale ... Saturday, 2:30, ESPNU No. 5 North Carolina vs. Lehigh ... Saturday, noon, ESPN2 No. 4 Denver vs. Albany ... Saturday, 7:30, ESPNU No. 3 Ohio State vs. Towson...

Only 13 NFL QBs played in all 16 games last season, while six others started 15 games. So that leaves plenty of opportunity in deeper leagues to take a flyer on someone who has the potential to start a couple of games, and possibly a lot more. So which of these QBs would be the one guy for...

For several seasons I have put together a spreadsheet with projected point totals for a large, head-to-head points league. My biggest question, when you do a VBD-style evaluation, is how to handle players who are eligible at multiple positions (i.e. 2B/3B, 1B/OF, C/1B, etc.). It would make...

Has there ever been a case of a team appearing for only one day in a visiting ballpark in a given season? The Twins were scheduled for only one two-game series against the Red Sox in Boston this season. With last night's game being rained out, they play a day-night doubleheader today, then...

Does anyone know what the purpose is for the single sideline stick that is held on the yard line where a drive originates? I figure maybe this was useful in the days before drives were conveniently charted, but why is it still used in 2007?

Since the Brady sneak last week is one of the things that is causing so much angst, I decided to take a look at what the Patriots did in fourth-down situations this season: Interestingly, they have faced fourth-and-1 on eight different occasions this season. They punted once, from their...

According to AP: Surry (Va.) County prosecutor Gerald Poindexter says he will seek indictments in a dogfighting case at property owners by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick.

I'm running into some conflicts in one of my established leagues, and we're having a real hard time hammering out a replacement date for our draft before next Thursday. Has anyone ever tried drafting after the first game has kicked off? How much could it affect things in a H2H league if people...

Dumb question, but the menu for tonight has games listed on GAME11-GAME14. There are only 10 channels for NHL/MLB games on my cable system. How are you supposed to see these other games?

Interesting subscriber article. I would be interested in seeing the spreadsheet, if the author is willing to share it.

I thought I remember a past thread or article discussing this, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Anyway, what are your thoughts on getting a stud RB/WR from the same team (aside from the obvious bye week issues)? For example: Alexander/DJax; Jackson/Holt; R. Johnson/C. Johnson; R...

I don't draft for a couple of weeks, but I was wondering how much weight I should put in SOS when making a decision? Guys like Palmer and Delhomme have tough schedules, while others such as Green and Plummer have much easier schedules (particularly in the late weeks) and can be had much lower...
