What Happens in April does not Stay in April: The Early Season Counts
Thu Apr 23, 2009 4:29 PM EDT
If a team projected to win 72 games, starts the season winning 11 of their first 14, are they more likely to win 61 games or 65 games the rest of the way? Now many may recognize this mystery team as the Florida Marlins (who now hold a 11-4 record), who have surprised many by jump …

NFL Picks of the Week: Week Thirteen, I'm Thankful for Cheerleading Twins
Thu Nov 27, 2008 12:38 AM EST
Turkey Day Games Tennessee Titans (-11½) over DETROIT LIONS This slate of Thursday games is pretty pathetic. Don't feel so bad if you miss a few snaps while you eat some turkey. The Titans loss last week wasn't exactly a fluke, but it's far from a sign of future doom.

Movie Review - The Golden Compass
Mon Dec 3, 2007 12:10 PM EST
I must admit that fantasies like The Golden Compass are right up my alley. I've never been one for tales of knights and dragons, but give me a good magical fantasy, especially British based, and you have me. There's something about hidden worlds of magic that just get me.

Harry Potter and the Revenge of the Sith
Wed Jul 25, 2007 9:46 AM EDT
This article analyzes the overall story of Harry Potter and should be safe for those two of you yet to read the final book. However, I guarantee nothing, and I may have unintentionally left a hint or two as to details of the final book.

Rally for the Republic
Thu Sep 4, 2008 8:09 AM EDT
On Tuesday, Ron Paul and his Campaign for Liberty held the Rally for the Republic at the Target Center in Minneapolis. They might as well have called this a Protest Rally against the RNC , as the message for most of the night was extremely critical of the Republican Party.

"Drill Baby, Drill" - The RNC You Didn't See on TV
Thu Sep 4, 2008 4:20 AM EDT
If you were watching the RNC on television like millions of other Americans you probably noticed the crowd break out into a "drill baby, drill" chant during speeches by both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin.

Something will go here soon...

Stacy, you're my new hero.
Sweet. Let's go make out and get cash all jealous. ;)

- Stacy Malbon

Adam, you managed to insult biologists, geologists AND social scientists with the kind of comedic punch to the throat that makes me quite envious. Nicely done!
And you like baseball. I totally have a non-sexual crush on you.

- Cash

May Adam Hobson be devoured by a Native American serial killer/cannibal dressed as a hawk on the night of the Seahawk's super bowl victory.

- Ansab

All the Refugees worship you now.

Adam Hobson is great thinker and writer. so it goes as kurt vonnegut once wrote.

- Bartleby

With his two opposing personas, Kadam Hobfile is able to control and direct the flow of thought through Newsvine. Like two sides of the same funnel, Killfile and Adam Hobson come together to guide other readers down a predetermined path of centrist thinking. When both Killfile and Adam Hobson agree on something, people take heed more than they usually would. This can have the effect of making others less extreme in their positions, less likely to rush to judgment, and turning them into an army of sissy flip-floppers with no real political convictions.

Adam Hobson doesn't exist.

Adam has pictures of cute girls in every one of his articles. How can you go wrong?

Adam Hobson, what can I say? This guy is one of the steadiest, most stable, possessing perfect equanimity. Besides, he is a good friend. He was here when I got here and I am so glad he was. I got a lot of help in the early days and Adam was one who helped. Thanks Adam.

— oldfogey

every time so far we've met up in a thread I think we see things much differently. But anyone with several pics of half nekkid chicks on his page is alright in my book!
