Re: 2021 NFL Black Sunday Night, Etc.
The fact that I even saw one poll/tweet/question about him being in the HoF makes this not a strawman argument. It's an absurd question. If the Oilers had won a Super Bowl or two and someone asked if Ernest Givens should be in the HoF immediately after he retired, I'd fucking laugh my ass off. Ther...

Re: 2021 NFL Black Sunday Night, Etc.
A guy who has zero reason to be in the HoF due to not having a HoF career should not be discussed about possibly going to the HoF. Sports media is just awful. But he was a Patriot and played the game as it is supposed to be played. With grit and determination (because he is white). The aggressive r...

Re: Netflix Suggestions?
I enjoyed the Biggie Smalls doc. I was a very casual fan so I'm not sure what people who know more about him would think. There was a really interesting thing with his old jazz musician friend comparing his rapping style to a jazz drummer. Just started, This is a Robbery, which is about the Isabella...

One of my favourites as well. That stat about the brewers almost being in the NL for as long as they were in the AL makes me feel very old indeed.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
There's no booth review to override this idiocy? This is insane. They had a review and the call stood. Not according to the Mets announcers. What was reviewable was whether or not he was hit. It's a judgement call (non-reviewable) whether or not he stuck his elbow out to be hit. I mean, the Mets' a...

Re: 2021 NFL Black Sunday Night, Etc.
I think the Panther's draft pick becomes much more valuable now that they don't need to pick a QB. It seems there's really good non-QB talent at the top of the draft with many teams needing qbs, so now they should get a really good player or get a good return trading the pick. there's also this too...

There's a new person in my running group named Brandon and he just moved here from Minnesota, so I made a reference to 90210. He had no idea what I was talking about and never heard of the show. Maybe if we were in Beverley Hills the joke would have worked better. And his mother's name is Brenda.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
You’re both right - my saying “without real learning” was wrong. And believe me, I know the great lengths teachers and hands-on parents are going to. That’s my bad. It’s probably better to say something like “less effective” learning. Maybe I’m getting misinformed, but what I’ve read here and there...
