Matt Ryan stands to become the richest athlete EVER.

Just check out ESPN.com's feed to my Google page from today:

Random 75 word fact o' the day:

Math rock is a rhythmically complex, guitar-based style of experimental rock music. It is characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic dissonant that emerged in the late structures (including irregular stopping and starting), angular melodies, and chords.

A closely-related genre is post-rock, into which some of the same bands are classified; post-rock, however, tends to feature a "jazzier" drumming style. In many cases, post-rock is less technical, though this is not necessarily the case. As well, the dissonance common to many math rock bands is not as common in the post-rock genre (though it is still very present in some of the music).

The guy hasn't played one snap. You would think the falcons would be cautious about shelling out the big dollars for a QB. Better check to see how many dogs he has.

Well, it looks like whoever was typing the summary up forgot to hit Shift

when going for the dollar sign on his keyboard. But still, a $72M contract for a rookie quarterback is pretty ridiculous. Only ~$35M is guaranteed, but that’s still a crazy amount of money.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Also, I'm always down for some online Grand Theft Auto IV or Rock Band. Gamertag: Phildopip
