Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
When was the last time (before Fernando Tatis Jr.) that the best player in baseball was the most exciting player in baseball. I'm really not sure (because both are obviously subjective) but you have to go back before the start of Mike Trout's career for any correct answers. I really hate giving Bos...

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
I haven't seen the layout for the second round yet so forgive me if this question is moot: If your team advances to the Division final round, would you like the break after R! to allow the Scotia NHL North to catch up or rather wait for the inevitable break (potentially much longer) after the Divisi...

A Handmaid's Tale is becoming unwatchable. Among my complaints are the level being asked to suspend disbelief. June has become a selfish loathsome manipulator.

With Brockers going to the Lions for a '23 7th, Rams and lions are 1-1 on trade front I'm honestly not sure which one you're scoring a win for the Rams or the Lions.

Daughter whose survey most of you filled out (many thanks again) just found out she got a 35 out of 36 on the ACT. She's 4th in class of 700+ with a 4.0 (4.8 weighted however that works) GPA so I'm assuming she can call her college shot.

Thanks to all for participating. I think part of it may be that since her generation interacts with influencers and are used to being sold things subtly, they might be more receptive to product placement in a meme whereas us old folks just see funny pictures.

I’m glad someone is excited by the hire. (I don’t have an issue with it per se, but because it’s the Lions I just automatically assume it’s doomed to fail.
