Kentucky, right? My guess is his crew was solidly rightwing and spent a lot of time pillowing / rationalizing what had been going on around them for years. JoeK (and others like him?) would see value in a board like this cuz it provides more than a glimpse into a different mindset.

I’m more surprised that JoeK left. I thought he added some worthwhile input to our conversations.

If you had any inkling of the power of weaponized misinformation (and how social media was ripe for exploitation), the bad actors on the cyber warfare front(s), then 2016 was at best a mild surprise...but it should always have been met with a "what took you so long."

Decades upon decades of anti-intellectualism out of the mouths of the GOP has come home to roost. Fuck ‘em. I'd be right there with you if it were only them who were unvaxxed. But a sizable enough group are minorities, who either don't have access to accurate information/facilities or have other ap...

Penalty kicks / shots whatever - it's just stupid. Take a couple players off the pitch for 15 minutes and then play 8 on 8. Field is too big, 8 players cannot move a ball around. II'm just not wired to accept penalty kicks/shots as a viable ending to a sporting event. It'd be like having a putting ...

Excuse me while I dive out of the way for you to kick the ball to where I was just standing a second ago.

Maaaaybe. Do you really want to give Boone the benefit of the doubt here?

When you think about how Pele built his fame the world over in an era before cable TV saturated sports into living rooms via ESPN, etc.

Could, say a Michael Jordan achieved that same level of fame if he were playing basketball in the 60s and 70s?

The Orioles may be a lovable bunch of losers, but holy shit. Who approved this?!?!

This reminded me, anyone with a Samsung TV ever watch TV+? It's basically like cable tv, but free, and with shitty channels. I had no idea what it was or how it got on my TV until a friend mentioned it the other day. There's about 150 channels, including BeIN Sports, and I've never even looked at w...

We have two weeks at Fripp Island SC. Planning on working remotely for part of that. We've been going for a few years. We aren't really beach people and hit the half dozen different pools instead.

Never seen it. It’s good?

First season was very good. Second season not so good, but it's absolutely worth a watch. I'd rate it a solid 4 out of 5.

Must admit I was rooting for Walker to throw a no-hitter vs the Yankees. What will motivate Hal to make some changes is whenever the casual NYC fan pays more attention ($) to the Mets than they do the Yankees. I mean, they have the same +/- # of diehard fans. It's the casual fan that will drive chan...

Gotta think something will happen with the Yankees here.

Better in what way? If you're selling? Sure. But we were buying.

Yeah, this absolutely feels like an attempt to put pressure on the police, Bauer or both. It's both. For one, the police can't hide from it, and two, the red flags re: his treatment towards women on social media were there for all to see. The fact he (in his statement) admitted to being a deviant, ...
