The Swamp

Well, there you go. Maybe the Tigers traded Porcello for the some other third-tier closer.

Ravens be stealing their logo from SeaWorld, yo!

Please, just read this. Sums up this thread to a T.

I guess we'll just have to take your word for it.

I'm still shaking my head over all of the hand-wringing about the Tigers closer situation. Latest reports are that the Tigers offered Rick Porcello to the Padres for Huston Street, who if the reports are believed turned them down. I'm not sure what's crazier -- the Tigers offering that deal or the P...

Like many of you, I love living in a multi-cultural city. Though it's kind of a secret to tourists (which is the way many of the locals like it), we have a very awesome, active Chinatown in Las Vegas with some incredible restaurants and shops. So I'm checking out the website of one such place I was ...

Yes. It worked as advertised. Same. There are other companies that do the same thing and are cheaper too, so make sure to shop around. I used these guys for my move out to Las Vegas and was incredibly satisfied with the service. (The dude dropping off even helped me unload it, which he absolutely d...

I wonder if Shaka Smart is concerned about his style working at the highest levels? It's works well now when he's getting second-tier recruits and coaching them up. They buy in and get good at what they do, so when they play the big boys who aren't used to that pressure, VCU is able to run them rag...

Mulligan and I will be there. We hope you'll join us, brian.

It's a lot more likelier that it was a couple of weeks ago since my girlfriend's Mom is coming into town that weekend for a visit. I'm going to try.

Saw that on the schedule a couple of weeks ago and thought of you actually. Unfortunately, should be a good game. CMU tends to sleepwalk against FCS teams. We play Michigan the week before that one, so I don't know whether that's good or bad.

Now looking like a sure thing Eric Fisher will be the highest drafted MAC player in history. He even had a private workout with the KC Chiefs (first pick overall) in Mount Pleasant yesterday. Would be pretty mind-blowing to have a Chippewa drafted first overall in the NFL Draft.

Picked my best three: I ended up going with the unders on Miami (64.5), CWS (80.5), and NYM (74.5). Also took Pedro Alvarez at 50:1 to lead MLB in homers. Brian, you put any change down on over/unders yet? I did get down on Baltimore under 79.5 at basically even money. Mulling over some other ones....

If you need some awesome custom reports, I'm your guy. But (thankfully) I don't have to deal with the administration of that shizz.

Gak. I always thought Buzz was a bit of horse's ass. I had no idea that he was highlighting his own horse's ass. One can't really get away with the shaved chest, that bizarre full body shave, look if one has moobs and that gut. And is in such denied reality terrible shape. Honestly, though. That's ...

Awww...does it get sucky? I hope it doesn't get sucky. Charlie finally died so I was looking forward not having to be annoyed by him every episode. I thought the third season was the worst and seasons four through six were quite good. There are a lot of varying opinions on Lost though so your milea...

That's just dumb. Are there people outside of Minnesota who actually think the Gophers should regularly be better than Tubby got them? I thought he did a pretty damn good job. Not top-tier elite, but still pretty damn good. I'm willing to bet that Minnesota won't be getting any better with the new ...

I know...I'm not sure how I feel about it. Apparently, you can watch them in any order you'd like and people will get completely different stories but they'll all make sense. Of course, that show is funny enough where you can have no idea what's going on and you'd have to be dead to not find it fun...

I hadn't realized this, but apparently the upcoming Season Four on Netflix is supposed to interactive (well, sorta).

You gotta hand it to Mitchell Hurwitz. That's either going to be genius or....well, at worst it'll probably still be better than 90 percent of the crap on TV.

Loving Ohio State and Marquette with those numbers.

La Salle's coach always looks like he's grinding out a dookie.

I don't give a fuck. I want to play in a snowstorm in May. Because we can. Because fuck Costa Rica.

Exalt!

Keg & I were talking about that and if/when the US plays Costa Rica in the 2017 hex if the game is scheduled for May we should play that shit in Barrow, AK. Because fuck Costa Rica.

Sorry to all the Swampers whose teams were bounced today. Keg & I had a money line bet on the University of the Streets. That was a loser.

This is a classic N.C. State performance. All that talent and they look like a bunch of idiots.

I just hate Wisconsin so much (yes, more than Duke), so that was really nice to see Henderson get to run his mouth all second half. Now I hope he loses.

Terry Bradshaw is planning a one-man show in Vegas.

I mean, there's no way that isn't a trainwreck, right? I'm going to see if I can wrangle some free tickets and report back to yinz.

I'm betting the house on Wichita State. They play in a real conference at least. Unlike the WCC or the Mountain West.

Yeah, Lions worked him out a month ago too. He's had a few tryouts with different teams. He's working with a big-time kicking coach. He might get a shot somewhere.

A Trey Zeigler team chokes in a big game? What a surprise.

If a county went for the MAC as a majority, it would have been on the map, no? I was thinking that...probably. The Big Ten looms large in the Midwest, but I would have thought at least a couple of rural counties in Ohio and/or Michigan with MAC schools would have gone for the MAC. Isabella County (...

The team one is a little messy but I like the conference one. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18i2o7ujb6bfipng/original.png The B1G is kinda ridiculous, like the Soviet Bloc. If they would have included the MAC there would have been some small pockets of resistance. Inexplicably they included the f...

This is kinda fascinating. Some bizarre stuff in here, like the fact that San Francisco supports Michigan more than any other NCAA Tournament team (yes, including Cal)

We use this around the house for keeping track of schedules, to-do lists, etc.

I thought this was going to be a thread about a Grantland article.

Real bad news yesterday, as it was announced that Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Company died at age 39. He had some real demons and made some real incredible music.

Something something something pussies something?

(I don't have an issue with the rule. Of course, it'll get applied incorrectly because NFL officials mostly suck, but the theory of it is OK.)

We're basically fucked if the USMNT get one point or less out of these two games, right? At this point, I'd probably take a draw at home and loss at Azteca. Considering the US has lost 1 home qualifier in the last 32 years (even with some pretty dreadful teams back in the 80s/90s, a loss would be d...
