the Patriots have one large coat. only the worthy may wear it.
Drake Maye on the sideline wearing a Patriots beanie and a preposterous, balloon-like coat. was it Photoshopped by a creative demigod of the internet? who can say.

19. Bone by Jeff Smith. A lot of people love this award-winning comic. It gave me the same feeling as when I read the first Harry Potter book: “this is a nice story for children.” (Though I’ll take Bone over HP. “Mmm give me that Bone!” — me)
Book cover: “BONE” by Jeff Smith. Two characters are walking in the woods. One is a Disney-princess-looking girl dressed like the Fox in Robin Hood. The other is a weird nude all-white cartoon guy with a bulbous nose.

18. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. This one wasn’t for me, but after a slow start it tied up nicely at the end. And props to the author for carving out a career with a degree in Ancient Greek.

17. The Revenant by Michael Punke. Pretty good yarn! I’d say the first 30-40% rivals or exceeds the movie, but the movie’s back half eclipses the source material. Not a put-down — it’s tough for words to compete with Iñárritu plus Tom Hardy as a bad guy. (And DiCaprio drooling, I guess.)

ALERT: I have propagated a cactus! found a broken beavertail on the sidewalk, took it home, and turned it into a new plant. sorry to distract from The Horrors but, candidly, this kicks ass

16. Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel. It is nothing short of *sorcery* to make me interested in a SECOND book about English royalty 500 years ago. The prose is unlike anything else I’ve read: elegant but accessible, understated but lively. I’m gonna rec Wolf Hall to people for years to come.

oh, Mark Sanchez was DRUNK drunk
www.yahoo.com/sports/nfl/b...
That's allegedly when the situation became violent: P. T. realized things had escalated, and he was now in physical danger, so he reached into his pocket and grabbed his pepper spray and sprayed Mr. Sanchez in the face. P. T. said that the pepper spray appeared to have an effect on Mr. Sanchez for a moment, but Mr. Sanchez wiped his face and again advanced towards P. T. P. T. thought "this guy is trying to kill me" so he pulled his knife and when Mr. Sanchez came at him, P. T. went at Mr. Sanchez and struck him two or three times with the knife. P. T. said he found himself flying back into the dumpster and falling onto the pallets on the ground. Sanchez allegedly kept striking or punching P.T. until the man got up and stabbed him one more time, at which point Sanchez looked shocked and ran away in an alley. He was later found at Loughmiller's Pub and Eatery, a nearby bar.
