No. But let me finish, Kanye. This issue comes up quite a bit, and with a new football season underway I thought I would give my take on it. The main reason for my response that they shouldn't be paid is that college athletics, in their purest form, should be: A way for college students…
Disclaimer: if you have a crippling fear of something that prevents you from doing day-to-day activities, you should seek professional help. This article is targeted more for people with "everyday" phobias. You probably know someone that you think is "fearless." They are the person that does a backflip off the cliff that everyone else is…
Chicken breast is the workhorse of the American kitchen. It's the classic "jack of all trades, master of none" meat. It doesn't get the glamour of steak or the mystic of pork, but it is affordable and goes with many different sides. It is a blank canvas. The only downside with boneless, skinless, chicken breast…
If you take a look around most modern gyms, you will probably see a section with lots of cardio equipment, a vast array of weight machines, and (usually) a small section off in a corner with the free weights (rack of dumbbells, benches, squat racks, etc.) Now, look around and check out what sorts of…
I guess you could say that in the past year I've gotten into lifting weights, or just "lifting" if you're a bro. In the lifting world, there is something of a divide between bodybuilders (people who lift for size and definition) and powerlifters (people who try to move as much weight as possible). Now, for…

They actually had many songs that did well in the charts, but far and away their best known song is "Cherry…
I am referring to the sitcom on CBS, not the actual theory. The economics of the actual theory would be much harder to quantify. So, I like "The Big Bang Theory", it's a funny show with funny characters and smart writing. It's even pretty realistic, because apparently they hired an actual physicist to consult with…
For the better part of my youth there wasn't much of a decision to be made when it came to what shoes to wear. I pretty much just wore tennis shoes every day except the times when my parents forced me to dress up. Life was simple and easy, and those were great times. But as…
Do you feel constantly unlucky? Do you feel like the world is constantly conspiring against you? It could be that you are not actually unlucky, but that you are constantly winding up on the business end of statistics. This can be illustrated quite well by using the game of backgammon. If you don't know how…
I write a lot of posts on this website about things that I am not really qualified to write about, but this is not one of them. Just so you know, I rocked college. I went to a really hard school where people were known to fail so many classes that when you asked them…
