Re: NFL Week 4

The Bengals jerseys look similar to the old ones that just said Bengals on the helmet. With the improved helmet, it's a nice look. The Dolphins? I hope Hugh Culverhouse signed off. While we're on the subject, let's talk about the size of Lee Roy Selmon's pads. http://www.tampabay.com/resources/imag...

Re: 2016 Ryder Cup

So, so far we have:

- Westwood (lol) criticizing the USA's choice of vice captains,
- a player's brother trolling the opposing fans, and
- a player calling out his own captain from 12 years ago.

This thing needs to start immediately.

The one thing I've had a hard time wrapping my head around is that the open courting of Russian interests and admiration of Putin didn't kill the movement dead.

Re: 2016 Presidential Race

I think "do I trust you" is a fair enough starting point to evaluate a candidate (it's better than "do I like you" at least), but it's worth thinking about it in the context of what a president does that cannot be undone. For me, that is very little when it comes to policy and a ...

Re: 2016 Presidential Race

Let's not kid ourselves, trump was historically awful.

I think that will sway a few. But I think 90 minutes of ...

 Democracy, you could say, is now professionalized. It offers interesting careers and often-lucrative jobs to those with the professional skills of managers, pollsters, fundraisers, creative artists, and writers.

It was the thesis of Ali G/Borat: that in today's society people will go out of their way to suffer fools, especially if there is a TV camera on and even more so if the sufferor is famous himself. It was better when it was just a comedian doing it.

I continue to think that the likeliest scenario is that the Yanks get to the very cusp of the WC2 spot on the last day of the season (or actually make it to the WC game itself), bullpen blows a lead in the 8th-9th, colossal hot takes ensue.
