What happens now? Is he still the nominee? Can he still win? What does a president governing from a state jail cell look like? There is ZERO in our election laws that excludes him from being the nominee and/or serving as president. The qualifications for both are being 35 or older and a natural bor...

To your point, one of my work colleagues has a freshman playing mlax at nearby(ish) Palm Coast Atlantic University. Tampa is in their league, I think. (So is Embry, which chedda and I were talking about in another thread recently.)

I'm sure folks saw, jury awarded that doc 5.25M in damages today.

A Bonchon Chicken is opening here soon. Fucking psyched. They opened today and I went. Waited about 30 minutes because, predictably, it was busy. I got boneless wings, bulgogi tacos, and fries. I was not impressed. I'll chalk it up to them being busy and me not getting the bone in wings. Various tr...

I mean, normally I'd thank you for sharing an article I hadn't seen, but your tone kind of sucks, so... NOPE!

(I'm paying a moderate amount of attention and I hit a number of sports-focused web sites on a daily basis and hadn't seen that, so, in all seriousness, thanks for sharing.)

The fact that his body camera wasn't on... I"m not saying it's suspicious, but it sure as hell was a huge factor in them dropping this case. I also wonder if they were able to interview witnesses who did not see what the police report stated. You've got at least a half dozen vehicles right ther...

Dammit, you snooze you lose. I was gonna put up my multiple road trips from MD-CO and back without a ticket for my resume.

Charges against Scheffler dropped.

Yeah, I would be pretty livid being behind those folks. GTF out of the way.

Not NHL, but The Calder Cup (AHL) is going to game 7. Cochellea Valley (Kraken) went out to a 2-0 lead in the series, but the Hershey Bears (Caps) fought back to take a 3-2 lead. Cochellea has generally won big. Bears have won close. Games seven is tomorrow night. Cochellea's coach...Dan Bylsma Hom...

Hard disagree. That was such a minor altercation that it should have never gone to review in the first place. Honestly, I'm sure you're right, this is the most NBA I've watched in months. I watch a lot of college basketball and that shit is so common (long, dumb reviews) that I was stunned they wer...

(Sorry to be event specific for those not watching live, but...) Fucking Hell broadcast crew. That wasn't a long look at the double technicals, like, at all. Bitch and moan about that stuff when it's an actual issue. That took about 3-4 minutes, max and it was cooling shit down in any event. Jesus. ...

The NBA era of large, dumpy looking European dudes ruling the league is astounding and highly entertaining. (Watching Doncic is just... What am I watching? I absolutely love it.)

He definitely doesn't look right. Skating like he's got a groin injury, just from the gait. =-==-=- Shesterkin trying to steal this game. Not that Bob hasn't made some saves, but if you leveled out "holy shit' saves, Panthers are up by 3 goals right now. And the goals he's "let in" ha...

I'm way too lazy to figure this out... is CONCACAF the region with the most non-independent country teams? I feel like with the Caribbean countries and then if we get Greenland, we have a shitload of non-country members. I'm all about letting them in, btw. Fuck yes. I want that jersey. (Still pissed...

In a very VERY weird coincidence... At the small non-profit I worked at prior to this job, the office manager/accountant/chief of staff was ALSO the lead counsel for the MLB umpire union. He didn't talk about his role much, but the few times I coaxed anything out of him the one takeaway I pulled was...

This is probably slightly embarrassing, but...

We had a package delivered to our house and via the return address I learned that REI stands for Recreational Equipment, Inc.

Yeah, I don't know if there's much to this other than BOTH parties are just tired of all the noise around him. The long article from last week details that when you just look at his overall stats, he's a less than average umpire but from an accuracy standpoint (especially behind the plate) he's lowe...

Like most folks, I just hate all the bullshit that old school car dealerships pull. I've read the articles and listened to various podcasts... I know what they are up to and I just don't want to play the stupid, timewasting, soul-sucking game. Carmax cuts out all that crap. The price is the price. T...

Nonlinear FC

I'm also calling bullshit on this being some "cuh-RAZY" situation because someone got run over. Not trying to be a total prick, but cops deal with accidents and death fairly regularly. This guy was directing traffic. He wasn't in the middle of an active shooter situation. Just kind of anno...

Nonlinear FC

I should modify that to say worst call in a completely context free situation. Like, not calling an easy bang-bang play an out in a World Series or when a perfect game is on the line is a lot "worse."

But from a straight-up, objective WTF stand point? Woof.

Nonlinear FC

That's gotta be one of the worst calls in MLB history.

Nonlinear FC

Um... That's a story from 2022?

I would travel for a CarMax deal, other than that... I ain't letting the dealership know I'm traveling.

Nonlinear FC

The biggest thing with haggling is leverage. They fuck with you by keeping you there for hours because they are asserting dominance over you with all the "let me go talk to my manager" bullshit. Don't give them leverage. The last 2 cars we have purchased: one was a Rav4 from a CarMax... ze...

Nonlinear FC

Maybe we're not seeing the total thing, but what I saw was so far from what was in the report (cop dragged, ruined his pants, etc etc)... It's really baffling the DA hasn't dropped the felony charges. What a fucking clown shop.

Fucking gross.

I'm not dipping a flavored chip. Doritos, Cheetos, Sour Cream and Onion, Bar-b-Que, etc, etc etc are wonderful... They are not for dipping.

Nonlinear FC

Wow. Just saw a piece of video from Louisville. The police report is a felony in terms of false reporting.

Nonlinear FC

And this is why the Doritos taco at Taco Bell is/was disgusting.

Yeah, I hate that song too. Otherwise, I can take or leave Seger. Never did anything for me. But that song has always pissed me off. And of course, "Like a Rock" was also forever ruined by those truck commercials. I do like "Hollywood Nights" and "Turn the Page" though...

Nonlinear FC

I freely admit to being a lifelong Seger fan. There's the Ann Arbor/Detroit/MI connection on top of being one of the first albums (my mom's) I listened to as a kid.

I fucking hate that song.

Nonlinear FC

Wasn't The Outsiders kinda officially the start of that? Well, kinda... The connection with Penn, Cruise and Hutton was sparked with Taps (81). Then got further extended by The Outsiders (83) Which brings in other fringe Brat Packers like Ralph Macchio, C Thomas Howell and Matt Dillon... joining Cr...

I don't remember Cage being part of that scene at all. Didn't his career come a bit later? Cruise was definitely the right age and in some of the same movies, even if he wasn't part of the tight friend group.

Agreed, I'm just explaining what Johnnie is talking about with the potato/raisin thing.
