I would love to have anything like 89X here. It was a great station back in the day. I checked it out one time when I was back visiting a few years ago and they were only playing dreck like Linkin Park. Nothing gold remains, I guess. But they played that Sloan song every hour on the hour for months...

DSafetyGuy

You could barely get 89X in Battle Creek*, especially on the east side where I lived. If you ventured over to the west side, you could rarely get it depending on the atmospheric conditions**. I refused to listen to any other radio station. This made for some fun expletives if you happened to be lis...

For reasons I'd rather not get into just went down an early 90s rabbit hole and was reminded of this song, that is quite possibly the one song I listened to the most from 1992 to about 1994. (Didn't hurt that I was dating a Canadian at the time and this song was absolutely, positively inescapable i...

My best is easily Mike Tanier, formerly South Jersey high school math teacher and contributor at Football Outsiders. He's responded to me a couple times, as well. His co-worker, Mike Freeman, followed me after a couple responses to his tweets. Amin Elhassan has re-tweeted me a couple times, as well...

Damn, that's something I never thought of. Freshman year of college. Looked it up, the county I grew up in (in Indiana) is currently 88% white. Higher than I thought, I know our high school was more mixed than that. But on further consideration... I suspect it was just my school's district that had...

I’m a regular Dollop listener. Not always great, but man, sometimes absolutely hilarious. Fascinating stuff on so many of them. I feel bad my brain wants me to listen to the oldest ones and work my way forward, as it has me 80+ shows behind. My next work trip may have me able to see a live podcast ...

DSafetyGuy

I listened to both episodes today and cannot recommend The Dollop's episodes 300A and 300B enough. Recorded in November 2017, the subject is Donald Trump. Not even close to being a complete record at that time, but a long profile of the terribleness of him (about three hours and 20 minutes between t...

Wow Pelosi playing 4D chess getting Trump to walk right into the trap she set for him. Amazing strategy and leadership. Can’t help but feel this will be what sinks him.

Wow. Just happy to be out of Paul’s contract. is it worse than westbrooks? Many people think Westbrook's contract is the second-worst in the league, behind only John Wall. Westbrook (age 30) has 5 years/$207 mill left, Wall (age 28) has 4 years/$171 mill left, but is coming off a torn Achilles (for...

There are so many places around the country to get good beer nowadays. Almost anywhere. Even the grocery store in my mother's Ohio town of 17K has two shelving units of non-domestic macrobrews (it included a few Labatt's and Molson offerings). I even got Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA pints for $4...

Shitfuck. Pound those Budweisers, boys.

Just a general thought that's been rattling around in my head recently. Politicians stereotypically seem to have some pretty negative qualities such as deceit, cowardice (Pelosi), grifting and corruption, and being totally out of touch with their constituents. It seems like this has been the stereo...

This week's "This American Life" was centered on the candidates who are at 1% or less (or were when they recorded). Castro (particularly his debate prep) and Yang (the family to whom he is giving his "Freedom Dividend" out of his pocket for a year - a mother and son - she has can...

I would enjoy that since Butler wants to be the man for a team and Westbrook dominates the ball. Als...

Is there any reason for Charlotte to offer the supermax to Kemba other than as a sign-and-trade? I mean, they are mediocre with him (between 33-39 wins in four of the last five years with a 48-win outlier) and would like to know if there is any compelling reason to not start from scratch (the real p...

This is a valid point. He should still be able to get it up there at age 75 by shooting underhand.

Not a big haul for a name as big as Subban. Davies is a strong prospect, Santini is nothing. Devils will be fun to watch, especially if Hughes lives up to his billing. And, Marleau gets traded to the Hurricanes, along with a first and a seventh, for only a sixth in return. Clearly, the Leafs desper...

I am shocked Chris Paul would get under the skin of another basketball savant. Apparently, Horford has a very strong relationship with Kenny Atkinson, the head coach of Brooklyn. Strong rumors that he is going there. If Horford goes to the Nets, I’ll enjoy the spin attempts from the many Danny Aing...

I’d bet there is very real organizational tension in Houston, including between Harden and Paul. It has to be maddening for them that they were unable to take advantage of KD’s injury, especially after seeing Toronto do it. But Paul’s contract is probably untradeable, and with the Warriors’ injurie...

I saw it was Myspace, too. Just wondering if maybe she shut down her other ("current") social media accounts, but forgot about the old one.

Well, when your ass is hung out to dry when a franchise legend leaves the front office and LeBron's agent is pulling strings, you don't have much choice but to save face. Lakers got their guy and... we'll see how much space they have left and what they can do with it.
