Blackpool have worldwide representation! What've you got?

For my Wu-Tang folk. I don't know how it took me so long to find this, but wow ...

I kind of see both points here. To try a slightly different take, when Cal talks, he seems to lead with his individual players. When K talks, he tends to lead with the program.

west coast bias.

Bronto, that's funny. I also have Pederson. But none of the other guys.

Howard, you're jumping the gun. I'll also be predicting that next year.

garyclark

Hey dudes, it's been awhile. Hope all are well. Thought I'd drop in with some MLB predictions. Searched for a thread, but didn't find one, so if this is redundant ... I guess I'm the asshole. AL East: Sawx AL Central: Indigenous Peoples AL West: Mariners AL Wild Cards: Orioles, White Sox NL East: Na...

The Swamp: where I come when I have no idea how to react to something that occurs in a sport about which I'm completely ignorant.

RIP to the 20 year-old kid.

Charles Smith ... well played.

This is the first time I've ever typed this, but ... OMFG AYFK WTF?

Steve Martin does some seriously good bluegrass, mixed in with a couple of comical songs per album. This is my favorite (dedicated to Jerloma):

Consider it a scientific experiment.

dayum.

anyone have links to more good articles about the conflict?

AT&T international plan is solid for calls and texts (just purchase it beforehand and turn off roaming). Data is a different story.

There's a lot of free wifi over there, but they ask you for your info all the time.

I bet against Orb, because I bet to win money, not to be right. Figured I'd bet on Gary Stevens and one of the secondary favorites. The result? Exacta, son! Three bills!

The California wine revolution pretty much proved Hodgson's point decades ago. The best French wine judges in the world blind tasted French vs. California wines. And Cali won out. And this was when the rest of the world thought California was to wines what Budweiser is to beer. They were swearing th...

The Theon stuff is painful to watch. Too much for me. A colleague who read the books told me it gets worse. I may start skipping those scenes.

I wonder when the last time both the league champions and all three relegation teams have all been sorted before the last game of the season. The only thing that's still to be determined is who gets the final Champions League spot. After today, Arsenal will be ahead of Spurs by one point, with Spur...

Sigh.

Eh. Sunderland are safe now too. Looks like Wigan are in real trouble, and Southhampton will be the victims if Wigan triumph. I believe it's the other way around. Sunderland are on 39 and can go down if they lose next week and Wigan win remaining two. Only Sunderland, Aston Villa, and Wigan can be ...

Eh. Sunderland are safe now too.

Looks like Wigan are in real trouble, and Southhampton will be the victims if Wigan triumph.

garyclark

Newcastle are staying up! DEEEEEPPP sigh of relief.

Wigan would have to win out to move above us, and if they do that, then Villa would lose and be below us.

Now I'm going to sit back and root for Sunderland relegation next Sunday.

Just to reiterate, I have zero problem with anyone calling out Christianity for homophobia. Tried to make that clear in my initial post. Zero problem. And I share Syb's loathing of fundamentalist Christianity. My point is that it is far too simple of a target. We all know that it plays a huge role. ...

garyclark

Syb, not trying to pick on you here, but the Christian Biblical abomination kick you've been on in this thread bothers me a bit. Not because I'm defending Christianity, but because you're giving too many others a pass. Religion is undoubtedly the number one driver of traditional ignorant beliefs (wh...

Also, on the cynical front, most NBA guys I've read say Collins was already all but guaranteed an NBA bench spot given the lack of NBA bench big men, and the fact that he's in great shape and a pro's pro.

ETA: Though yes, I was cynical too.

By the way, the best line I saw on this today was by Josh Greenman: "Wizards fans, it doesn't get better."

And on that religious note, Chris Broussard might cost himself an ESPN gig: Being Gay Is "An Open Rebellion To God"

Hey, where do degenerates go to place bets on horse races in Massachusetts?

One of the reason we might mostly be listing classics is that CDs were kind of a luxury item. So I only bought CDs that I was positive I wanted forever. I'd get cassettes or cassingles or even albums of other stuff. Then along came Random House, and changed all of that. My first CDs were gifts from ...

Ugh. 6-0 at home. Newcastle may be going down indeed.

The person in that window has a lot more faith in the officers' trigger control than I do.

He was a lurker more than poster in the Swamp. But one time he posted about that after he became quite popular. It surprised me at the time as well. Googled in. Didn't find it. But I did find this, which is pretty awesome: http://www.redreporter.com/2005/12/20/212254/34" onclick="window.op...

In case folks forgot, he started off here in The Swamp, back when the "The Front Page" was real. And he liked it. And then one day he figured he could start his own blog. And did a damn fine job of it.

garyclark

so, so good.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson has a podcast called Startalk. It's good.

He did a two-parter on Mars with Sarah Silverman and Jim Gaffigan. It's effing amazing.

garyclark

I generally agree with Syb's sentiment. But we do know people whose friends/relatives were injured, and a couple who are two degrees of separation from one of the dead. So I think there's something to be said for them pulling through this. That being said, if you don't fall into that group, outside ...

What is Daniel Bryan's angle? Beard guy? Doesn't seem like that would play well in the WWE.
