Pretty nice evening

Kudos to our man Bronto for being in on the ground floor on this story.

Yes thank you, Ryan.

He’s never going to admit that they blackballed Kaepernick.

Not much funnier than these podunk towns in Idaho and Washington arming themselves against pretend antifa invasions.

I just read about that. Jeezus!

In the ultimate Swampcrash outcome, the answer that could have been correct twice was not said Q7 - FROM AB: Give the current city and nickname or previous city and nickname of one of the 7 active NHL franchises that have relocated (13) CORRECT Calgary Flames (1) - GoodKarma Arizona Coyotes (2) - G...

He's making an example out of her, to scare the rest of the Repubs of how he'll treat them if they don't stay on their knees and fellate him 100% of the time. I don't see why this tactic even works, but somehow it does.

By the way, has anybody mentioned Freddie Adu? He was tipped to become the best American player ever.

I remember the Gretzky hype from the time he was in junior hockey. Similarly, Lemieux, Lafontaine and Lindros were hyped to the skies before the ever hit the NHL. (I am old...) Mario Lemieux was called "the next Gretzky". Sidney Crosby was called "the next Mario and the next Gretzky". Was Jaromir J...

Had a spirited meeting today where I essentially told one of our two owners (the conservative one) to fuck off.

That's brave. Might he bring down the hammer?

Speaking of that, I was a bit surprised to read yesterday that Drew Magary says that Sugar is/was his favorite band. (I know they share the Minnesota background, but still...)

I don’t know nearly enough about hockey to compare Gretzky to modern guys like Crosby or Ovechkin. However, the best sports example I can think of for “untouchable stats due to his era but not the best ever” is Wilt Chamberlain. No one will ever average 50 ppg again or touch his rebounding stats, b...

sancarlos

He's in year 5 and you can't reasonably say "this guy definitely won't end up the best ever" so I think pretty solid. He's incredible on a shit franchise. I wonder if Gretzky would be as GOAT if he wasn't on the Oilers back in their heyday but rather had gone to some moribund franchise. Glen Sather...

It's great that Steve King lost, but apparently the guy who beat him in the primary is another Tea Party Trumper, so not out of the woods, just yet.

I don't care how many times you guess, Unseld was a total stud and had a better career after high school than Griffith. To wit: Adolph Rupp tried to recruit him to break the color barrier in the SEC. That good. Heh. Of course, I'll defer to your judgement on who was the best Kentucky high school pl...

Unseld is likely the best High School player in Kentucky history.

I would have guessed Darrell Griffith.

When my sister-in-law is around, I like to surreptitiously get on her laptop and click ads and websites for embarrassing products, so she gets to see lots of those ads in the future.

I've never had a three day hangover but that's the plan. We should all agree to do a Swamp meetup that weekend in New Orleans or someplace like that and just spend an entire 72 hours drunk, eating good food and cheering Trump's death at every bar in town. I am so down with this idea. It would be a ...

One of these soldiers should make the ultimate sacrifice for their country and put a bullet in Trump's head.

I wonder if there is anything the poor guy can do to combat this slander? I suppose if he takes legal action against a media company who states lies, he creates a Streisand Effect.

But I REALLY liked my answer!

I really liked my answer, too!

I don't think that matters if enough people being polled see the present situation as an over-escalation in response to unchecked police violence. Yeah, probably right. The problem is that peaceful protesting is being conflated with looting. Nothing freaks out white America quite like a McDonald's ...

When we bought our home in 1998, we bid against 5 other people, and went over the ask by 15% because we really wanted to win the bid. Later, our realtor told us that the seller's realtor told him, "They really wanted to sell to this nice family that wrote them a beautiful letter, but at the end of t...

It would appear from this that more people are appalled by looting than are appalled by the calling in of our military to civic duty. So, yeah, I think the riots are helping Trump.

sancarlos

I'm worried there will soon be a Kent University type incident, or possibly a National Guardsman or Cop getting murdered which will inflame things more. And I think Trump will try to use this for martial law, election cancellation, you name it. He knows he's down in the polls and the economy is goi...

He's 18. I don't know how to bar him. He's right to want to stand and raise his voice. I should be too. But I am also so worried about the government and police response. We know how this goes. Yeah, that's where it gets tough. Mine is 19, and I suggested she not go to the protests, but if she want...
