Coming Soonish‽ Apple Watch With Leatherman Tread Band‽ 

Coming Soonish‽ Apple Watch With Leatherman Tread Band‽

   Photo: Mockup of Leatherman Tread with smart watch Pebble by Rajrdajr on Reddit.  Ever since the Leatherman Tread was revealed in January (now available at Cabelas), I have dreamed of pairing Tread with Apple Watch as a band.  While Leatherman will sell the Tread with a “dumb watch” in 2015 (in Autumn), they are seeking to match it with an Apple watch in the semi-distant future.  @lexiatwork Yay! 😀 So far it's a fun tool to use!

Of all the things the NFL chose to name after Julian Edelman, they chose this‽  The NFL’s ball-inflation procedures were strengthened for the 2015 season because of the Patriots. The eligible-ineligible tactics were mostly outlawed because of the Patriots, and the extra point was pushed back to the 15-yard line at the prodding of the Patriots. And the Patriots are at least partly responsible for a fourth rule change for 2015 — the “Julian Edelman Rule,” as it were, that will allow the concussion spotters to signal down to the officials on the field and call a medical timeout if a player is exhibiting concussive symptoms but hasn’t had a chance to be evaluated by team doctors. (Boston Globe) Yeah, I think it’s weird but it’s a good rule truth be told.  That said I still think they should revisit the eligible, ineligible receiver rule (as it was cool when my Patriots performed it against the...
