The Swamp

Rex

I like a lot of things about this Evan Engram pick, but mostly that he will make the Giants an unstoppable juggernaut.

Rex

2 hours, 21 minutes. Same as it ever was.

Rex

So good to see Yankees-Sox as the headline event of a sports night again.

Rex

And Arsenal's dismal yet weirdly inspiring march to 4th continues. It's like that penguin movie.

Nobody in their right mind would start a thread based on one of his articles.

Rex

I mean, nothing beats a newspaper for getting all of the relevant news, sports, weather, etc. all in one place without looking on the Internet. Problem is, that doesn't seem to hold much value.

Rex

I don't think this has anything to do with any programming decision (and I certainly don't think it has anything to do with the supposed politicization of ESPN's coverage, that's a silly distraction). They simply paid way too much in rights fees given that their business model is not sustainable in ...

Here we gooooooooooooo

Not quite about Paul, and I don't think he is one of the worst offenders, but BY GOD YOU NEVER SAW COUSY DO THIS

Rex

I'm torn here. On one hand, this really seems unfair. On the other hand, the league's first priority every year should be eliminating the Caps as quickly as possible.

Rex

Whatever. Give me two-handed set shots every day.

Rex

Is there some legal reason why "Simply the Best" isn't played every time the Rangers win a playoff series?

Rex

I still can't get used to teams wearing colored jerseys at home

Rex

Paul's advanced stats profile is amazing, but I've often wondered how much of that is because Paul is actually playing in this era and able to evaluate his game with the benefit of advanced stats. He has always struck me as a guy who was made for his era more than a guy who would be great in any era...

Rex

After two straight defeats in the Finals, I hope the Cavs go all the way this year.

Rex

9% is the same percentage that voted for Deez Nuts. Maybe people are not quite treating these polls with the proper solemnity.

Rex

Looks like the Cavs timed that Kevin Love "injury" perfectly.

Have the Yankees lost since this post?

Rex

I bet the bulls wish they had the veteran presence of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah right now!

Rex

The Spurs are re-accommodating this poor team right now.

Well I'm glad I didn't post anything encouraging during the first 10 minutes of this game!

Rex

Thoughts? I just don't think I could do it.

[Go to a Mariners game, that is]

Rex

Quarterback Eli Manning and New York Giants brass created bogus “game-worn” football gear to pass off as the real deal — and one of the forgeries is sitting in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, an explosive new lawsuit claims. It's from the Post , but the guy bringing the lawsuit apparently had the Fe...

Any time you guys want to talk about investing in high speed regional rail, by the way. At approximately 300 miles, you're looking at a 2-3 hour ride, downtown to downtown. You can stand up, walk around, drink in the bar car, pee whenever you want, whatever suits you.

Rex

Look, they're a goddamn airline, they can offer more than $800 if needed. Right, and its not even really $800 unless its used for an $800 seat on an otherwise sold out flight. I'm sure the real "cost" to United averages out to a fraction of that. How much cheaper would it have been to hir...

Rex

I will say this, borrowing from a friend who has flown oversees rather frequently... The US is pretty singular in its shitty treatment of passengers. He mentioned it might have something to do with being state-subsidized, so the lack of the absolutely brutal bottomline approach taken here is stripp...

Rex

Can't they just bring back no-frills passenger service?

Rex

Someone just jumped in front of me in the lunch line and got served first AND I DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. He did not appear to be more important than me, and I doubt that he had a bigger dick.

Rex

The airline should be experts at how to convey bad news to people, part of which is drawing lines that prevent your rank and file employees from being put in that situation.

Rex

Well it seems pretty obvious that the passenger involved in an altercation like this is not likely to be June Cleaver. Even if she does speak jive.

Rex

I know better than to play armchair lawyer when there is a heavily regulated business involved, but the one thing that rings true to me is that the situation is different when you have let someone through the gate and on to the plane. Even if there isn't a regulatory violation there, it makes no bus...

I also get stopping at whatever bar is between me and the baggage claim and dropping 8 bucks on a beer for my troubles.

Or taking a wiz!

Seriously though, if it's taking 30 minutes for your bags to arrive, get a new airport. The bags usually beat me there.

Rex

In that case, I'm not sure whether the parody or the original is more ridiculous.

Rex

I will always gladly hand over my bag at the gate. In fact it's my biggest pro tip about flying an airline that charges baggage fees. I understand carrying on to avoid the fee, but who wants to drag that thing on and off the plane?

Rex

They found Otis!

Rex

Was it really lack of planning or did something intervene that messed up those plans? For instance, Delta was totally thrown off schedule by last week's storm system and is only now getting back to normal operations.

Rex

I just read this while eating some Chik-fil-A. It was pretty good.

Rex

They could have driven from Chicago to Louisville in no time. And with far less hassle. I wonder if that's true though, and I wonder if FAA regs have anything to say about that. Even if you're not behind the wheel, a 4-5 hour drive is physically taxing. (Yes, I know, so is a short flight. Frankly I...
