Full Body Spandex Suit - Morph Suit
Full-body Spandex Morphsuit (pick your color)

So the other day, Web Watch was participating in the monthly WOOT-OFF when we saw them talking about the ROOT SUIT.

We know you’ve seen the ROOT SUIT on TV this football season — it’s been featured gameday wear for any number of collegiate and NFL football fans eager to get on TV but without having to show their face.

There are other versions and names out there: the MORPH SUIT, Zentai, a full-body spandex suit, the lycra outfit, the Spiderman getup. And they’re all the same basic thing — a costume that you can hide in public in.

How better baserunning will win the World Series

Baseball - Skills & Drills: The FUNdamentals of Baserunning
Baseball – Skills & Drills: The FUNdamentals of Baserunning

One thing that Web Watch has trouble understanding is why the baseball season needs to extend out into November.

November is FOOTBALL season, as everyone knows. Sure, throw in a little pre-season basketball or hockey if you’d like – at least those two are considered “winter” sports. But baseball already has spring training, the boys of summer, and the fall classic. Why do they need to bogart the winter season as well – it’s not like baseball is played outdoors in all types of weather, like we see with real sports like football. Let’s keep the baseball playoffs to the fall months and be done with it.

Maybe the issue is that baseball players don’t really understand how to play the game.

Ken Jennings Trivia Almanac, featuring 8,888 trivia questions

Ken Jennings is a trivia master.

He’s the 2nd greatest earnings champion in JEOPARDY! history, but has won more overall game show earnings than any other contestant. He has a few books, of course – he even has his own CAN YOU BEAT KEN board game. He even won GRAND SLAM, the trivia contest that pitted all the top game show contestants against each other to see who truly was the best.

In interviews, Ken has said that nobody can really know it all, and there were a number of Jeopardy! questions that he simply guessed the answers to. Granted, they were highly educated guesses – but they were guesses nonetheless.

Most tailgate party cooks prefer chicken or burgers; Some spend over $1000/year on tailgates

Weber's Way to Grill: The Step-by-Step Guide to Expert Grilling
Weber’s Way to Grill: The Step-by-Step Guide to Expert Grilling

Web Watch knows that there’s nothing that tastes better than some meat cooked fresh on the grill.

And when it’s football season, you have to have a grill to really do the tailgate up right. Web Watch even won a Weber Grill a few years ago in a football tailgating cookoff contest with our grilled steak sandwich with carmelized onions. One of the judges even came back to our setup and took an extra sandwich with them “for the road” when the competition was over.

So we have that going for us.

Which brings us back to today’s point – that when it comes to tailgating and grilling, nobody knows their stuff better than the folks over at Weber.

Which is why every year Weber releases their own WEBER TAILGATING STUDY, a look at the tailgating habits that we should expect to see this upcoming football season.

10 Things food sports

How much money do competitive eaters make? On a per-calorie basis, not a whole lot of dough

Eat This Book: A Year of Gorging and Glory on the Competitive Eating Circuit

Competitive eating is not everything you may think it is. It’s not all glory on the playing field, and unless you really want to devote your life to travelling around the country in order to eat yourself silly, there really isn’t enough money to be made in eating contests to call being a “Professional Eater” a full-time career.

One has to wonder if the lack of cost-of-living raises is one of the reasons that Takeru Kobayashi, the former World Champion Hot Dog Eater, refused to sign a contract with the IFOCE and ended up rushing the stage at this year’s Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.

And considering the amount of effort that the IFOCE and ESPN put into making the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest and its world-famous Mustard Yellow Belt a cultural lynchpin in our annual July 4th festivities, it’s really surprising that the NATHAN’S CONTEST WAS NOT THE COMPETITIVE EATING CONTEST WITH THE MOST PRIZE MONEY over the past year.

Negotiate like the Pros

If you are active in a fantasy sports league with your friends, then you probably have run into a situation where you’re trying to make a specific deal and something horribly goes wrong.

Maybe its that you pulled some stunt regarding whether a player was on waivers or not. Maybe you backed out of a deal at the last minute because you had some insider information that wasn’t available to the general public. Really, it could be anything that really would make Ari Gold blush.

So what do you do after you’ve exhausted all reasonable alternatives and still have a stalemate?

You call in the FANTASY SPORTS LEGAL EXPERTS, SPORTSJUDGE.COM.
