I was all set to do a lot of research putting this together and Googled to see if anyone had done my work for me. And they had.
Here's a list of all the nicknames for the international soccer teams in the World Cup this year, including translations and explanations.

The Search for Denver's Best Burrito:
Tacos Rapidos
FiveThirtyEight is in search of America's Best Burrito. They released their bracket for the West and it includes two from Colorado, both in Denver. Illegal Pete's and The Original Chubby's. I've had Illegal Pete's burritos on at least three occasions. They are a Chipotle clone, but nothing special. I prefer Chipotle. But it got me thinking. Is Chipotle really the best burrito that Denver has to offer?
To answer that question and expand my horizons, I will be taste-testing burritos across the city.
Before I get into burrito #1, I should say what I like about Chipotle. First off, I don't do beans. Fortunately, Chipotle offers grilled peppers and onions as an alternative to beans and they're delicious. Here's my Chipotle order:
White cilantro-lime rice
Fajita veggies
Barbacoa or Carnitas
Green Salsa
Sour Cream
Cheese
There's really three structural ingredients and three condiments. The balance is fantastic. I also will use fresh lime wedges and Smoked Tabasco or Green Tabasco for additional flavor.
This is really my standard. It's not that I think Chipotle is perfect, they offer everything I want. So for me, the question becomes: Is there a place that does what Chipotle does better?
(I should probably mention Qdoba. They're basically just as good as Chipotle but they annoy me because they charge extra for veggies even if I say no beans. Also, if Brit orders their nachos (which all come with meat) and holds the meat but asks for guac, they charge extra for that too.)
- - -
My Denver burrito research informed me of two interesting things.
1. Basically everyone in Denver is crazy for breakfast burritos and not so much for lunch or dinner burritos.
2. Most of the lunch or dinner burritos appear to be served on a plate, customarily smothered in green chile. The mission-style burrito will be potentially hard to find.

Denver Burrito #1: Tacos Rapidos
2345 W Alameda
I started here because Yelpers said that they offered a "Colorado burrito" that is actually a California burrito. I ordered a Colorado burrito, no beans. (I'm not sure if it would have come with beans anyways.) I asked if it came with sour cream. They said no. I asked if I could add sour cream. They said yes.
Here's what's inside:
steak
potatoes (aka french fries)
shredded cheddar
pico de gallo
sour cream (by request)
That's it. No rice. No veggies. French fries. I was skeptical.
I was handed a white grocery-style plastic bag. Inside there was a large burrito wrapped in yellow paper, not foil. It was a true cylinder, not nearly as wide as Chipotle's but much longer. I'd estimate it was about the width of a soda can, and about two cans in length, maybe a little more. With the addition of sour cream and tax, I paid about 6.50.
My first bite was surprisingly good. Very flavorful steak coming through. I don't how else to describe the steak other than "authentic." I don't know how the process for cooking meat is different at an authentic taqueria, but there was no mistaking this meat for Chipotle's steak.
I sort of missed the rice, but the potatoes weren't bad. I took a bite of one on it's own, and it was not a good french fry. But as a complement to the steak, it worked.
I was glad I added the sour cream. The pico de gallo was barely noticeable and the cheddar was mediocre and not uniformly scattered.
One nice thing was the finished product got a bit of time on the grill. The tortilla was still soft, but had some crispy, delicious spots.
I took bite after bite and was trying to compare it to Chipotle and ask myself would I come back here over my standard? This one was lacking balance. It tasted very much of one note: flavorful steak. That's a pretty good note. But it was missing depth of flavor.
I'm reserving the right to revise scores once I've toured the city a bit. Right now I'm thinking that Chipotle is either a 9 or an 8 out of 10. And I think Tacos Rapidos is one point below. So either a 8 or a 7, right now. Solid.

DIY Soccer/Hockey Goal
I've wanted to do this for a while. With H almost three and able to kick a ball, I didn't have a reason not to do it any longer.
There are plenty of plans online to build a goal out of PVC pipe. The problem is they weren't what I wanted. All of them look the same. They all have a diagonal bar connecting the crossbar with the back frame. See here. And here. Or here.
What I wanted was a horizontal bar coming off the crossbar, making it deeper so the ball wouldn't just bounce down and out of the goal. I found this plan and started sketching.
On my first trip to Home Depot (there were many) I discovered they didn't have the three-way connector that design required for both the crossbar corners and the bottom frame corners.
So I was back to the drawing board. I eventually realized that I could take the most popular design and instead of a straight diagonal put in two bars with an angled connector. So I started to gather parts and start building, going off a design that I created, something I couldn't find on the internet. (I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this, but the cool part for me was following my own design, not that it's never been done.)
Supplies List
(3) 10' x 1.5" PVC pipes
(6) corner connectors
(4) T connectors
(2) 60-degree connectors
PVC hand saw
54" Reebok hockey net
11" white zip ties
I found the net online. Everything else was at Home Depot. I also bought PVC pipe cement that I didn't end up using. And 7" zip ties that were just half an inch too short. The pipes were $15, connectors about $20, saw $15, net $20, zip ties $4. It's a $75 project.
My initial idea was 6' x 4' and then I realized that's really big. I scaled back to 4" x 3". It's not too bad sawing through PVC. It only took me two hours to build the frame.
The net arrived and I just had to hope that it would fit. It was amazingly close. But a little short from side to side. At that point I measured the inside opening. It was 54". I had started with 48" crossbars, but the connectors add width. So I cut 6" off each crossbar and the net fit. And I ended up with the 48" opening that I had originally planned on.
Most of it was easy. The only trick was figuring how deep to make the goal and how long to make the diagonal supports. The end result was I have a 9" deep horizontal off the crossbar and a 20" deep bottom frame. Because of the angle (60 degrees) and the lengths that I had, when it was assembled the bars coming off the crossbar angled down a bit instead of being perfectly horizontal. But I decided that was okay. And it actually provides a benefit. If I made them truly horizontal, I would have needed a deeper frame. Keeping it 20" makes it very easy to fit through doorways and hallways.
Enough preamble. Here's what it looks like.
(The goal is level. Our back yard is slanted.)
It looks nice. It plays real nice. It's very sturdy. It could probably handle a regulation soccer ball, as long as it wasn't Messi kicking it. A serious upgrade that should last their whole childhood.
I specifically bought a hockey net and not a soccer net so this could be an all-purpose goal. Soccer, hockey, even lacrosse. I'm very happy with it.

a good walk spoiled: part nine
This was the best round I've played in nine years.
Yes it was a Par 3 course. But still.
Prior to today, my best finish was +9 on August 27, 2005. And I've made a total of four pars.
Today I was +10 and added another two pars to my career.
I really played great. Remembering to follow through makes a big difference.
Most of my tee shots felt great. The strange thing was that I didn't land any on the green. But I put about 4 or 5 on the fringe.
I'll go hole by hole as best I can remember.
#1. First shot came of nice. Put it on the fringe, short and left. A nice chip and a good first putt left me with an easy 4.
#2. My tee shot also landed on the fringe, short and left. But it wasn't as far as on the first hole. I use my PW to chip and it was amazing. For a second I thought it was going to roll into the cup. Instead it stopped within two feet. Easy one putt for par.
#3. I followed my par with one of my worst tee shots, a skimmer along the fairway. But I was able to put a 9-iron close enough to two-putt.
#4. All I remember about this hole is that I made an 8 to 10 foot putt to save my four. Best putt of the day.
#5. This one is deceptive. It's all uphill and the pin was at the very back of a deep green with multiple ridges. My tee shot was my best all day. It landed on the fringe but close to hole. I had a birdie putt. It wasn't that realistic, but I had one. I came close to making it but pushed it past the hole far enough that I three-putted.
#6. Very similar to my par on hole #2. My tee shot again landed on the fringe. This time I putted it to two feet away. As simple as it gets.
#7. I again followed my par with one of my worst tee shots, high but way right over a hill, 50 yards from the pin. From there I hit one of the best shots, a 9-iron that got up over the hill and landed on the green, close enough to two-putt.
#8. This one played really long. I use the 3-iron off the tee for the first time. Didn't hit it that well. Second shot got close and then I duffed my chip on the next shot.
#9. This green was tough. (Come to think of it, these greens were much tougher than Walnut Greens back in the day.) The pin was on a small raised tier. My second shot was a chip that got up on the tier and then rolled into the fringe. From there I putted and almost saved par, but rolled down the tier. Fourth putt was good and almost went in.
So there you go. +10. Probably was the best I've ever played.

Hockey and Time Zones: Part Two
Back in November, I took a look at how time zones affect the start of hockey games.
I found that for the Avalanche, local time is fairly consistent, usually 7 or 7:30. But because games are all over the country, mountain time varies from 5pm to 8:30.
- - -
Yesterday I was thinking about how a LA-NY series is kind of a nightmare for scheduling. We can start with the idea that a 7pm start time is ideal.
If the game is in LA, a 7pm start time means the NY TV market doesn't start watching until 10pm. That's no good.
If the game is in NY, a 7pm start time means the LA TV market is still at work when the game starts at 4pm. That's no good.
In my head, you have to cater to the local crowd and do your best to accommodate the national TV market.
I figured that means on a weekday, you start the game in LA at 6pm. NY will start watching at 9pm.
In NY, you can start the game at 8pm, LA can start watching at 5pm.
- - -
So what did the NHL decide?
Game 1, 5, 7 on a weekday in LA: 5pm
Game 2 on a weekend in LA: will start at 4pm.
Game 3, 4, 6 on weekdays in NY: will start at 8pm.
I have no problem with the weekend start time. But that's three games in LA that the local crowd has to be there by 5pm.
All the weekday games start at 8pm Eastern which is great for the NY crowd and poor for the LA crowd.
- - -
Just for reference, I thought I would look at the NBA and their start times.
Game 1, 7 on a weekday in San Antonio: 8pm
Game 2, 5 on a weekend in San Antonio: 7pm
Game 3, 4, 6 on a weekday in Miami: 9pm
Since you're looking at Central and Eastern, to me it would seem easy enough to start every game at 8pm Eastern. Instead 5 of the 7 games are at 9pm Eastern. Even the ones in Miami. Perhaps it's better for a national TV audience, but it seems a little late for East Coast watchers, no?

Burritos
Some people take burritos very seriously. I enjoy burritos quite a bit. But I also have no problem saying that Chipotle is my go-to, even though that would get me blackballed from FiveThirtyEight.
In a strange bit of serendipity, this morning before I saw the FTE burrito contest, I was thinking about this burrito that I read about a few months back. I never really got it out of my head.
I found the article I read. The burrito is from Mission Cantina.
Here's what makes me eager to try it:
"The first and most important part is getting awesome tortillas. Ours come from Mi Barrio Tortilleria in Bushwick, and the guy makes them for us fresh every morning. A lot of places steam their tortillas. It's fast when they heat it up in a flash steamer. But I hate that. The way you digest a steamed piece of flour versus something that'd been griddled and crisped is different. It sits in your stomach differently. If it's a vegetarian burrito, we griddle it in a bit of olive oil, but if it's a meat one, we griddle them in chicken fat, which gives it a nice texture and flavor.
We toast them on each side, and then we put some of our smoked queso Oaxaca in there, and some shredded fresh mozzarella. We add a bit of cilantro and chopped-up onion, Rancho Gordo pinto beans that are cooked in bay leaves and onions, and avocado. I don't like re-fried beans: A lot of times they're cooked in fat, and they're a lot heavier. Another thing I hate is when people put guacamole on burritos. It's nice to have a little contrast and not have all the ingredients get soft. Slices of avocado taste a lot cleaner and hold a lot better. We also add crema, which we're about to start making in house with buttermilk. And salsa fresco with onions, tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and salt.
We roll it all up and it goes back onto the griddle. It's griddled on all four sides, Dorado-style. Nice and crispy."
That sounds really good.

Parity has not reached the World Cup
In the last 50 years, there have been 12 World Cups. That's 24 teams in the Finals. Here's the list:
Germany six times. Brazil four times. Italy four times. Argentina three times. Netherlands three times, all in the losing column.
England
Germany
Brazil
Italy
Netherlands
Argentina
France
Spain
24 Finals spots. 8 Countries.
Germany six times. Brazil four times. Italy four times. Argentina three times. Netherlands three times, all in the losing column.
4 out of the 12 were won by the host country.
All-time, Brazil, Argentina and Spain are the only teams to win it all not on their home continent.

One the one hand, the scale's not moving as swiftly as I would like. But last week I stayed home from work and got off my routine a bit. Friday I played golf but then ate about 6000 calories at an Indian buffet. And then shot some baskets on a full stomach.
Last night I did a soccer workout and woke up feeling great, like I've lost 5 pounds. And I'm still losing. Perhaps with some more soccer/basketball and back in my healthy routine, I could lose two pounds this upcoming week.

$15 NBA Dream Team
First Team: Isiah, Jordan, Durant, Duncan, Shaq
Second Team: Stockton, Jordan, Bird, Duncan, Hakeem
Third Team: Magic, Jordan, Pippen, Duncan, Hakeem
What do you think is the best team? What's your team?
- - -
I feel like Jordan is worth the value in all scenarios. Then you can look at the pairs in the frontcourt and backcourt.
Isiah & Durant: $5
Stockton & Bird: $6
Magic & Pippen: $6
Can't go too wrong with any of them.
If you only have $4 for PF and C, here are your options:
Duncan & Hakeem
Shaq & Dirk
Garnett & Wilt
To me, Duncan is a significant upgrade from Dirk or Garnett. But Shaq is my favorite center. You could talk me into either Duncan/Hakeem or Shaq & Dirk.
