I mean sure, but come on, she’s like a genius and a Rhodes Scholar and all. You can’t be expected to compare yourself to that.

He’s the same age as me, meaning he was 30 when 9/11 happened. And this profile makes me feel a LOT better about that whole nagging “he’s your age...what have YOU ever done?” feeling.

My 11 yo still quotes “What is that?”

Can’t it be both?

Wasn’t JGs main sponsor Pepsi for a while there? Legit asking, I thought he switched.

I rarely watch, and never more than individual races (meaning I don’t follow championships and such), so I don’t know how that would work, but it sure does sound like something they would do. Did they aim the same firepower at Jimmy Johnson, since he and Gordon were buds? Or was it just the “he ain’t one of us”…

Ok so you apparently need it spelled out for you. The heyday of NASCAR came in the 90's when it really was poised to be the NFL (or at least close). You can tell that by the fact that the biggest drivers at the top level were no longer sponsored by STP and Mr. Goodrench (two very automobile-specific brands), but by…

I take Jordan over Steph and Kobe...same if not more maniacal devotion to winning, but Jordan has a good 40 pounds on Kobe and more on Steph, plus old-man tolerance built over a lifetme of heavy drinking. I don’t know much about Kobe or Steph’s party habits, but they both seem more like the “my body is a temple”…

THAT’S why Christie endorsed. “Time for some traffic problems in my pants!”

I have to post this in every Pat Foley thread...the man is a national treasure.

No, he was funny back in the late 80s-early 90s when I moved here. And according to people I trust, he was even funnier in the 70s.

I...can’t find a lot to hate here. Personally I think Red Robin is vile, but I’ve only been there once so my vote wouldn’t count anyway.

It could be a blind spot, or it could be a simple case of him reading an early draft and trusting the process to fix it. It’s a real fear for leaders to be seen as not letting their people do their job.

Had to Crane my neck to see that one.

I mean, you’re glossing over the lede her, that he dropped out BECAUSE HE THOUGHT SINISTER FORCES WERE GOING TO DISRUPT HIS DAUGHTER’S WEDDING AS RETALIATION FOR HIS UPSETTING THE STATUS QUO.

Then the October “Nah it’s all good.” That was my 2nd presidential election (and my first one with cable), gawd it was…

Rachel Maddow’s show has actually been pretty much all over this stuff the last year or so, to the point where I recognized at least one of the people in the clips he showed as someone who’s been on her show as well.

But I did learn one thing...I had no idea that TRAP was an acronym. (themoreyouknow.gif)

We can get a two-fer. Kanye can both play the telethon and be the “before” pic.

You say that like it will hurt her in the wingnuttosphere.

That’s true, she pretty much owns that lane.

Ok I’ll bite, since I’m about the same age as Magary...

One tiny detail the mini-series nailed. I was in a bar in Chicago when the Bronco chase was going on. The room was mildly engaged in the basketball game, but not like cheering wildly. When they cut to the split screen, the place went deathly quiet...it was murmur…
