Re: The Official Mayor Pete/Dept of Transportation thread
Johnnie, have you ever thought of running for public office? You’re certainly plugged in, and I would bet there would be at least some appreciation of your blunt attitude. If John Kennedy, a Rhodes fucking Scholar, could conceivably fake himself as a Bayou Bumpkin and get monetary support, I would t...

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
I knew the story Steve referenced. He’s the Padres career HR leader with 163. That seems really, really low, especially for a team that’s been in existence for over 50 years. People talk about bad franchises (and I’ll accept the slings and arrows for mine) but man, the Padres are really a disappoint...

I think it’s more to do with playoffs. The Football Outsiders guys today said there were reports of making the AFCCG at a neutral site if KC faces either the Bills or Bengals.

Re: I Love This Game! NBA 2022-23
I made a prediction (can't find the thread) that there will be more Caucasian NBA MVPs than NFL MVPs in the 2020s. If The Joker and Mahomes/Hurts keep it up through their respective seasons, the NBA will be up 3-2. (It was more a view that the NFL was going to move in the Lamar/Mahomes mold than any...

If anything, isn’t that just a normal human reaction to tragedy? Something shocking and horrifying happens, and part of the process to cope with it is to try to see how “normal” life can return.

I agree. I would actually prefer if they didn’t play it to give the players one less thing to worry about and either declare a tie or a null match. But this is the NFL we’re talking about. When have the owners ever willingly took less money than they could’ve? We have a 17th game and two extra playo...
