and so that’s why Drew is wrong about tweetstorms. 69/69

Let me tell you about why Drew is wrong about tweetstorms 1/?

This Blackhawks fan does not miss him at all. Easily replaced with a cheaper, younger guy who can do the same things without all the idiotic penalties, to say nothing of the rest of Shaw’s baggage.

At least they’ll actually be in Detroit. Where they are now would be like if the Bulls played in Aurora or the Knicks played in something like Greenwich.

but since becoming president, other than his string of extremely unnerving appointments, has backed off of all of these issues, even condemning the acts of hate crime out right that have erupted since his election.

Well, he is a “contrarian by nature” so I guess that also includes being contrarian to actual documented facts too.

Until this year they were pretty much the same guy, the only difference being one was more smiley than the other, and perhaps not coincidentally, the smiley guy was the one who got to throw to Calvin Johnson.

They did a hell of a lot in those first two years, more than most Congresses that’s for sure, and the 2010 elections were about Tea Party bullshit and people bitching about “Obamacare” even though it wasn’t going to even take effect for another few years.

The regulations that actually cause the problem are the ones that artificially reduce housing stock - height restrictions, zoning, and that sort of thing that prevents adding more housing to an area. Add in allowing people to buy a multiunit and tear it down to build a SFH, and you get a major problem.

It’s in part because Bradley used to take a lot of shit when he was one of the best performing players on the squad, because people still couldn’t let go of the silly “he’s only here because his dad is the coach” garbage.

Klinsi starting them in a 3-5-2 they hadn’t played since a friendly almost 2 years ago, in a WCQ against freaking Mexico, was pants-on-head idiotic. No one seemed to know their responsibilities except the two forwards. And it showed in the defensive organization, they were extremely fortunate to be only 1-0 down when…

They make up for it by charging a lot more. Face on tickets for upper deck seats not near the center line was $150 face. VIP Center (the 100 level sections nearest the center line) I think was $500. Even the AO Member tickets in the ends were just under $90.

It was and is easier for US Soccer to fill the place with US partisans in a SSS, so I think that really was a significant part of it going to Columbus. If you put it in Columbus but at Ohio Stadium, you’d still have at least half the fans be Mexican partisans.

This Meatspin video is much better than the other one

It’s not much of a risk to call him up when you can call in more guys than you put on a gameday roster, and when one of your two upcoming matches is against Liechtenstein and the other is only a friendly.

That formula worked fine for a pulpy show like Burn Notice but yeah.

This is also why it didn’t end up as an endlessly recapped show. TV recappers saw some episodes, figured it was another generic procedural, and that was that, they moved on. Sepinwall admits he stopped watching after about 6 episodes, but caught up much later after enough people told him he really should watch.

Harbaugh’s salary isn’t really 9 million; 4 million of that is an interest-free loan that went right to a life insurance premium that gets paid back when the policy is cashed - Michigan gets their 4 million back before anything else. It’s obviously a substantial benefit, and the interest-free aspect of it certainly…

In the 70s also. In the late 70s in particular, the Sox were actually the team that drew all the 20s and 30somethings. Then the Sox left WGN for a UHF channel and a pay service. Einhorn, as usual, was ahead of his time with the cable sports channel idea, but boy howdy did it screw the Sox long term visibility-wise.

(Harvard is an enormous law school, so you are bound to run into more nitwits from there than most of the other top schools simply because there are 2-3 times as many of them in a class as compared to Yale, Stanford, Michigan, Chicago, etc.; see also: Georgetown)
