The Swamp

I'm also a bit leery of people saying that the crowd size didn't matter. I mean obviously it doesn't matter more than earthquakes and famines, there's no need to say something like that. The crowd size was important substantively. It showed that the propaganda hasn't worked. At least not yet.

Rex

At some point you have to just stop putting these people on TV. It's one thing when you are covering a political campaign. But now you are broadcasting state propaganda. Why is it so hard to show something else?

Rex

Bert Blyleven had 14% in his second season. That doesn't mean that Posada would have had a similar progression or that he belongs in, but it shows how much can happen over time. You never know how priorities change, future generations may place a higher value on peeing on ones hands than we do.

Rex

Isn't the real issue here how the stupid PED issue (and the 10 vote limit, which I don't oppose) is causing guys who at least merit discussion to fall below 5%? I don't think Posada is in, but his career at least deserved a couple of voting cycles worth of consideration.

Rex

Yeah, I think people are kind of telling on themselves with this outrage over the website transition stuff. Though whatever replaces it will surely have a different take on things. And more tits.

Rex

The answer is for smart people to fuck each other and have kids.

Rex

Sidney Lowe played better defense on Courtney Lee than Courtney Lee played on any Wizard.

Rex

It's probably better for the Knicks to be losing these games, but this is totally ridiculous. Last possession:

Rex

Courtney Lee is somehow the worst defender on a team with Derrick Rose on it.

Rex

Drugs?

Rex

That's not what I meant.

Rex

On a serious note here, you've got Ben and that 84 guy. What the hell?

This reminds me a lot of the game Rodgers had at Atlanta in the same stage of his SB run. I've never seen anyone more dialed in than that.

Rex

I'm so ready to talk about how I knew one of these teams was trash 3 hours from now.

Rex

Amazing stuff. As a kid, I was truly terrified by Emergency Broadcast System warnings. Something about that cricket they would play.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that I spent a few minutes just now thinking about what would be the quickest route out of the city for me.

Rex

Good grief CBS. Waiting for a frightened Steve Tasker to bring order here.

Rex

Yep.

That's just too easy.

I have found the best fucking website!

This guy has collected recordings of decades of TV signoff protocols. FCC announcements, test patterns, invocations, Barnaby Jones promos, Star Spangled Banner montages, it's all there! This is 4 A.M. television in all its glory:

Did I miss the Swamp mock?

Rex

Boy you really laid an egg with that one!

Rex

Are the Chargers really angling to be the Chivas USA of the NFL?

I feel like people are missing the larger point here. The office of the U.S. president has projected strength for as long as any of us have been alive. Now, it will project weakness. Can you elaborate? I would argue that half this country (incorrectly) thinks the office has done nothing but project...

I feel like people are missing the larger point here. The office of the U.S. president has projected strength for as long as any of us have been alive. Now, it will project weakness. That is a huge point, and I think that thoughtful people do see it as a subtext to what is going on. (Sadly, this is...

Sure, but what's Chris Berman have to do with it?

Rex

Having been to Savannah a couple of times and Asheville never, I would recommend Asheville.

Nashville

What will we see first, his dick or his taxes?

Rex

Not to excuse any of this, but you know that our first 33 presidents or so were likely into stuff that would get you in jail today.

Rex

This one is pretty obscure, but Stephen McDonald, the NYPD officer who was paralyzed by gunshot wounds and went on to lead a pretty inspirational life for three decades, has passed. Not surprised that the Daily News would have a thorough and gushing obit at the ready, this is right up their alley: h...

Rex

This is what I would consider an optimistic scenario for 2017.

Rex

He's right--this will be their masterpiece. Everything in the Dolan era has pointed to this.

Rex

Surprised he would do something like that without prior consent.

Rex

And as we'll be hearing a lot about this week, the play this year where Sherman interfered with Julio Jones...

I am watching the FA Cup this morning, from Sutton United from the umpteenth division. For anyone else watching, is this a turf field? Can they play on turf in the lower leagues? If this is real grass, it's immaculate. How does every podunk team have a better surface than half the NFL?
