The Swamp

Can we at least all agree Ausmus is below replacement-level?

He should lose for answering Colorado.

Though whomever answered South Carolina has the ignominious distinction of being wrong on both sides of the question.

Would be funny if ties were broken by Ryan based on which person provided the dumbest wrong answer that week.

Is Rams really a correct answer? I guess it depends on seating configurations and whatnot after looking at Wiki, but it's close enough I would have never guessed Rams. (I thought Rose Bowl seated more, but like I said, the capacity for USC games is technically a little higher than the Rose Bowl for ...

Jerloma beats perennial tie-dsmaid Rass on Q10 and Brian beats Sybian all the way back to Q7 He gets the tiebreaker on his own question? Fucking bullshit. Mr. D, how the fuck could you not go with Brian's answer of David Scott? I fucking hate this game. 3rd best score on sports, when I usually get ...

Page 69. Niiiiiiiiiiice.

I was definitely off on my prediction of BG to win the East. Any idea what happened to their defense? Not saying they were amazing last season, but the people up here are up in arms since Babers brought along his defensive coordinator from BG and the Syracuse defense, for the most part, sucks out l...

ACC title game moved to Orlando. Location makes sense and nice symbolism too.

A little bit of history. There were riots three straight years after Central-Western games (two in Kalamazoo and one in Mount Pleasant). The story references CMU's president discussing halting the series, which was never a serious consideration considering the MAC would have likely booted one or bo...

I think that's the point though. If the Cubs lose it'll be because of the weird stuff that can happen in a small sample size, not because of fucking curses or nerves or whatever other hot takes the Skip Baylesses of the world will drop on their heads.

I was definitely off on my prediction of BG to win the East. Good lord. Looks like it might come down to Akron and Ohio, but who knows over there. Anyway, it's Hate Week in the MAC this week with a huge slate of rivalry games. You have the Battle of the Bricks (Ohio-Miami), The Wagon Wheel (Kent-Akr...

You guys are right, I've interpreted the Trump reaction to the Khan speech incorrectly. However, the tone of the Khan speech at the convention still bothers me. I can't put a finger on why. It's hard to explain. No offense, but it surprises me as a Canadian you saying that considering your prime mi...

Gary Johnson is some weak sauce. Bill Weld, the Libertarian Veep nominee would be a decent president imo, and Green's Jill Stein has a brain and uses it. But the Lib Party is just another clownshow, and most of my political views are classical small l libertarian. She's a vaccination truther, so ma...

What the record for most campaign managers for an election? If Trump hasn't broken it already, this would do the trick.

If the Cubs win a WS under his tenure then they might as well get his plaque ready for Cooperstown.

I once went to a restaurant where they tried getting away with calling an Arnold Palmer a Tiger Woods because, you know, you have to be hip and change things to appeal to the youngsters. Did it have Valtrex added to it? No, Perkins was just trying to hang onto their only relevance in decades. Good ...

Sigur Rós destroyed it last night. Speechless. Easily in top 5 of all time for me. First I've heard on any of the U.S. shows so far, so glad to hear it. Supposedly it was supposed to be somewhat "stripped down" from previous tours as far as strings and whatnot. Was that your experience? I...

He was very particular about the composition of an Arnold Palmer and was a feisty competitor. We honor him every day we continue this debate.

As long as SOMEONE does the fucking due diligence I don't care if it's the college or the police. Far too often no one does. Yeah, the Title IX investigation process on college campuses can be improved but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Frankly, something needs to be done to get r...

Bitter Southerner interviews Patterson Hood. Read a lot of Hood interviews over the years and this one actually has stuff I'd never heard about DBT's inception and various lineups over the years as well as discussing Hood's lineage to the music of North Alabama and Muscle Shoals. Also a performance...

Well done. Made me want to fart afterwards.

Yeah, I usually do it about 2/3 tea, 1/3 lemonade but I think you can call it an Arnold Palmer in any case. I'm a 2/3rds to 1/3rds man myself, but I think as long as it has lemonade and iced tea is the spirit of the thing. Technically you could call a gin and tonic with a tiny splash of tonic a &qu...

A MF Arnold Palmer! Hey I am drinking an Arnold Palmer right now. And not watching the debates. Some people might take glee in watching a narcissistic, megolomanic sleaze come within a cunthair of the presidency, but I can't do it. <insert Howard joke about "sure, but what about Trump?> <drumr...

Curious in what way Hillary's tenure in the State Department or in the Senate was a "dismal failure". I'll hang up and listen. Libya. Rest of the region. (No, nothing to do with Benghazi) Not sure how you can hang that around her neck, but OK. Seems kinda like blaming Obama for massive bu...

Man, I hope you are right. I can't even fathom the list of potential disasters that suddenly become more real possibilities with Trump as our President. It is still shocking to me that so many otherwise sensible people don't see this. It's a fact that 40% of the electorate will vote Republican even...

Well, Obama didn't create racism (no matter how much Republicans might say it), so Obama has nothing to do with a decent-sized percentage of Americans being turd-people.

I can't get over how far gone the Republicans are that two former Republican presidents saying they're not supporting Trump isn't like the hugest red flag ever. Could you imagine the bed-wetting and insanity if Carter in 2008 had said he was voting for McCain over Obama? Honestly I have enough respe...

And Clinton was up by 8-9 points after the DNC convention which is higher than Sanders was ever polling over Trump (that I saw at least). "Blaming" Hillary is way too easy and not necessarily accurate. Trump has managed to get out of his own way in the last few weeks while the media has bl...

I disagree (in part). I think that Trump would be murdering quite a few potential realistic major Democratic candidates I could name including Bernie Sanders. But someone like Elizabeth Warren with some serious name recognition and party bonafides would probably be stomping Trump. I think Biden, Ka...

I don't see Warren doing any better than Sanders. Midwest voters and others would have abandoned him in seconds after attack ads where he's quoted praising Mao, albeit back in the 80s. Not mention the rest of his extreme leftist past. Hard to attack Trump for supporting fascists like Putin and Kim ...

If Trump somehow wins which is a big if still at this point, Obama's legacy is fine. Or no worse than Clinton 42's after Bush beats Gore. I think history will regard Obama very, very kindly. When you factor in everything up against him from taking office during an almost depression to dealing with r...

Still six weeks until the election. Way too early for pants-pissing for a variety of reasons (the GOP has next to no ground game, polling this election is damn near impossible and if it really is close to 50/50 a lot of the Bernie dead-enders who say they're voting for Stein or Johnson will grudging...

Fucking idiots. Yeah I think it's a fair question. There are states (at least two I know of top of head with land below sea level). I figured Mr. D was just trying to make sure if a state has a lowest point below sea level which meets the other criteria of the question that it might count as a corr...

For Q3, would any novels originally published in a foreign language translated into English qualify? (ETA: Guessing not, based on your question wording, but just want to be clear.)

Disagree.

Nah, Felix is well past the halfway point. I guess a Len Bias -ish guy would have been slightly more symmetrical, but this is about as bad as it gets.

I was going more with a King/King thing.

Well, maybe if it was Felix Hernandez that would have had some more crappy symmetry but I hear ya.

Curious to see what he does. Another job is out there despite his age if he wants it. Would be interesting as a TV guy I think. Expect he'll do the TV thing for the rest of this season at least.

Nothing in regards to ND at all. Just the initials DC. Hence the stretch.

Ok. Yeah wasn't getting that at all. Too literal today maybe.
