This is what you do for fun?

I drink beer(s) for fun. 

Thats why you are super smart and I'm a drunk dumbass always looking for a fight. 

Maybe I should start reading more so the next time I'm drunk at the bar and someone wants to fight I can be all "do you even paleolithic raft bro?"

yeah but only for purpose of shitposting on the internet about it while drinking beer. academia provides you with some good-ass insults

hmmm... for fun read kon-tiki, an account of experimental history/anthropology (a couple scientists create a paleolithic raft and test the hypothesis that people could've migrated across the pacific to populate the americas. adventurous and highly entertaining read. also check out history wars, a very readable edited collection of essays on conflict over historical representation in museums, focusing in particular on the 1990s conflict over the smithsonian's enola gay exhibit. it ties nicely into the theoretical aspect of this post, actually. also think about reading richard  anti-intellectualism in the american life, a seminal text for any political/cultural historian. and if you get the chance read the follow-up, susan jacoby's the age of american unreason (and review it for me, i own it but haven't read it yet)

Kon-tiki and History Wars look good.  Hofstadter may be a bit heavy for beach reading.  Thanks.

I find it terribly strange that someone was just telling me about this recently. Terribly strange. There may have been a documentary made about it recently or something. It's bothering me to try and figure out where the hell I heard about this.

human diaspora theories make the news every couple of years when some new evidence is found and shakes everything up, and the kon-tiki experiment is usually brought up since it's the biggest pop culture reference that everyone gets. by contrast mentioning the solutrean migration hypothesis will get blank stares

Last time we were on Monday Night Football we saw a defense completely destroy a wounded QB along with its pathetic O-Line to the tune of 9 (iirc) sacks along with several turnovers. I sure hope we could throw that in Indys direction this time. You'd expect people like Allen and Short to feast on whatever they call that O-line

SCP is like a combination of the sensibilities of Patrick McManus, Mark Twain, and the Kissing Suzy Kolber version of Rex Ryan.

You've got a Hemingway/Paul Harvey/and perhaps a bit of Hitchens or Dawkins without the prominent atheistic overtones vibe going on. 

The Huddle's becoming a literary sanctuary...who'd've thought? :P

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.

      zero percent suprised Luke is a nice guy irl, have never heard anything differently from anyone that's met him.  I have heard mixed reports on Smitty I know one guy on here got to know Deangelo Williams and J stew pretty well back in the day when they used to host events and he said they were nice iirc  I can't imagine Jordan gross is a bad hang, he's hilarious
