It seems like every Monday morning after a Sunday of jam-packed NFL action, there’s a discussion about a player being fined thousands of dollars for an illegal hit on an opposing player.

Let me make a case for the most interesting man in sports.
A few weeks ago I had a nearly all-consuming desire to reread “1Q84” by Haruki Murakami. The reason eluded me at first. I may have attributed it to the fact that Murakami is one of my favorites, whose books always find their way into the flux of my reading rushes. I may have attributed this to the fact that I had the privilege of reviewing it when it came out in 2011 for this very publication, and thus would have enjoyed both a book and a nostalgic experience.

It seems peculiarly coincidental. As Walter White’s story mercifully reaches its heart-palpation inducing finale, “Grand Theft Auto V” introduces a triumvirate of criminals ready to endear themselves to our sympathetic souls.

Last week, on a whim, I decided to start reading “The Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie. Though it has never been a book high on my “to read” list, I took the plunge when I chanced upon it in the library stacks.
Growing up as a child, my dad had about 20 or so go-to cliche phrases he would throw out during any applicable scenario, and the most applicable one for Saturday was, “How could this have been avoided?”

In the most recent cover story of Time Magazine, Sean Gregory lays out the case for colleges paying their athletes, particularly football players, salaries in a way that would finally give the foundation of the NCAA what it deserves.
Toward the end of August, an idea dawned on me that I wish had dawned on me sooner, since it (in retrospect) seems so obviously beneficial, munificent, edifying, etc. Toward the end of August, I bought a wordbook at the bookstore.
Modern action sports, as a whole, are a money-centric operation.
September 9th, 1543: High upon a craig sits Stirling Castle, in Stirling, Scotland. A site of importance to Scottish monarchs, this day bodes importance not only for Scotland but (later) England and the rest of the world as well. For it was on this day that Mary Stuart—at a wee nine months old—was crowned Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary, claimant to the throne of England, shuttered out by Elizabeth I, eventual execution victim.
I'm bad at giving gifts. Don't get me wrong, I'll always give gifts to my immediate family but I'll do it in the worst possible fashion. For Christmas, I'll usually give my sisters money out of my wallet the morning of, while giving my parents a gift card of their choice.
