The Swamp

I hadn't seen those particular pictures, but I've seen plenty of BO as a kid, teenager, college student, etc. The right loved to show the pic of him at Harvard where he's wearing a black leather jacket and looks like a Black Panther. Also, seen plenty of pictures of Bush 43, Clinton, etc. when they ...

As was the fact that the first words out of his mouth were "That's what she said."

So he tried to get some when he was a kid? Stop the presses.

There's a metaphor for their entire season right there.

Not that he usually needs any help but Miguel Cabrera was just gifted a HR off Michael Bourn's glove. After two rain delays only about 500 Clevelanders were there to see it.

Office finale was fine. Not overtly funny but overall, nice to see everyone and earlier bits, and I really liked thr way they closed out most things, especially Jim and Pam. Creed with a beard in the audience or the twist after his speech ? Now that was funny. There were a few other touches that I ...

MacKinnon and Drouin get all the attention sure. And I agree with Degen, I'd draft MacKinnon, too, in a heartbeat. Any heartbeat. But a couple of years ago I shot my mouth off about how great Martin Frk is. And in the Memorial Cup he has been showing himself to be world-class; that's somewhat rare ...

Garber must really not like the folks involved with the Cosmos Or the Red Bulls. No, didn't you see the quotes? Having a "derby" in MLS is going to elevate both franchises and create interest in soccer in NYC. Just like it did in LA -- do you see how awesome the crowds that Chivas draws a...

So, so f-ing dumb. MLS refuses to learn from the mistakes of the NASL even after all these years.

Given in that is that I'd be purchasing the game anyway, yeah. But since #20 is on the cover and all.

I must be getting soft, because I see all those jokey "tornado control" tweets and it kinda makes me sick. Maybe it's a bias, but us throwing them around in here doesn't bother me so much. For some reason though tweeting about it seems classless, at least this early on. I think it's becau...

Apparently, the Little Caesars Bowl is going to be replaced in 2014 with a bowl game run by the Lions pitting the B1G and ACC. So basically, after the best year in conference history the MAC is losing the one bowl affiliation that made the most sense. Awesome.

I think it only adds the max to let you watch on mobile devices. I don't have directv, and I think it would let me get access on mobile devices. That said, I think I am going to move to directv. Good deals right now, including Sunday ticket included for 2013. If so that means I'm saving a whopping ...

I hate the Catholic Church almost as much as you do and I suspect there are people -- even those really high up, possibly even the Pope himself -- who still believe in exorcism, but even I have to say I don't think there's anyway they'd perform one with cameras around.

Yeah, I guess my question is -- I already have the base Sunday Ticket and was just planning on let it auto renew, so it would cost $225 for me this year. So if I order this, does that mean I don't have to pay that $225 or does it only mean it adds the "Max" to my package? It's not entirely...

So, I'm in a low-traffic part of the gate area of SFO, waiting to board my flight to Detroit. A couple folks come over to the big, pudgy guy sitting near me and ask for a photo with him, which he does graciously. I never would have recognized him as a pro athlete. But, it's Matthew Stafford, QB of ...

maybe Vancouver gets it back in 2 yrs. Oh, man, I hope so. Or Victoria (they have a great building here). At the PNE a few years ago, even the Lewiston/Plymouth game had over 12,000 in attendance. And that barn is pretty much perfect for the Memorial Cup. The Giants have a looooooong way to go to b...

Wings may have gotten into the Blackhawks' kitchen with this game today.

No way....Saul is the best. I'm really hoping he gets the rumored spinoff show.

But rest in peace and all that....

Jim Morrison dying was the best thing to ever happen to The Doors as far as their legacy. Most of their songs are borderline unlistenable.

I'll probably kill quite a bit of time playing that when I have some free time.

I think the big ones are the worst to win, because everyone knows you won. I want to win when it is the maximum amount just under the threshold where they announce winners. Keep your life the same for a couple weeks until you can slowly stop coming to work and quit. Slowly change shit at home so as...

To put this chart into context, I think I saw that there will be roughly 200M tickets in play for Saturday's drawing.

I'll pay the stupid tax when it gets this high... If you consider game theory, it's only stupid to play PowerBall when the pot is less than $176 million. The odds of winning the PowerBall jackpot are 1 in 175,223,510. It's the same thing as considering pot odds when playing poker. Except that in po...

XXXXX curses more than any other state (and is ranked in the top 5 least courteous.)

Yeah, next drawing is Saturday. I'll actually be in Reno this weekend so if the lines aren't ridiculous (I assume they will be though) I might head over to Truckee to pick some up.

It's up to 550 mil now. Well be buying our office tix tomorrow, and I'm probably grabbing a few solo as well. Swamp lawyers...in the highly unlikely event I win on either ticket, what are my chances of keeping it from the shedevil? I'm not a lawyer, but I would presume they would be slim. A better ...

Yeah, 3 to 4 hour waits to buy lottery tickets at the CA border when the jackpot is this high are not uncommon. When I lived in MI I'd buy $5 worth of tickets for a mega-jackpot, but I'm not waiting in line for 3 hours in 100-degree heat to piss my money away.

I'd rank them this way: St. Louis Atlanta Detroit Phoenix Charlotte or Raleigh Florida doesn't deserve any more chances. San Diego would be a good market, but like you said, I'd move Chivas there. I think any of the five cities above would be a better place to expand than New York. Especially given ...

I was thinking the same thing, but I can't purchase tickets as the lottery is illegal in Nevada (irony?)

Consider they barely support the one team they've got, it's pretty laughable that New Yorkers are going to get a second team.

Powerball is up to $475M now. That's a lotta dough.

I love hops, but I gotta agree with most of what this guy is saying here. Curious to get some other opinions.

Anyway, one thing that should be clear is that this is nothing like what Nixon was doing. Not only is there no evidence of administration involvement yet - as far as I know - but what Nixon was doing was much more sinister. Nixon responded to political opponents by having the IRS choose them for au...

Yes, that's Craig Sager photobombing his OWN network's cameras.

Nice win for the Astros today. Though Cabrera made it interesting. Down 7-5 in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded and two out and he hit a bomb to the center field wall. About three feet short of a walk off grand slam.

There are five living presidents, but only three years in which a living president was born (Carter and Bush 41 were both born in 1924; Clinton and Bush 43 were both born in 1946)

Man, when it rains it pours for the Astros. They should have been out of the second inning after getting screwed on a bad/missed called strike on a 2-2 count to Peralta. He ends up walking. Followed by single, infield single and three-run HR and all of the sudden it's 4-1.
