That's awesome to hear! I'm glad you were able to get right with the window folks. 

LOL. Trust me, I’m imminently familiar with blackout rules. The problem is that the same Extra Innings package that worked two years in a row did not work the third year. I did not move, I did not change the package. Nobody at DirecTV could understand why since the team we were after weren’t on a blackout list they…

We did go through customer retention but were given some bullshit about how they can’t refund Extra Innings since it’s an MLB product. We did everything we could and got nowhere with DirecTV, which was disappointing given the scale of our monthly bill.

Hard disagree. We went around and around with DirecTV about sports blackouts after they promised us we could get a team in our geographic region. Turns out we couldn’t after we paid for service and nobody could explain why. It was only after submitting a BBB complaint that we actually got the package refunded and were…

Completely disagree. The Chargers were adored by the city and received a level of support the Padres could only ever dream of, despite consistently shitting the bed with good teams. There was plenty of fan support for the Chargers in San Diego. 

All the stars. Fuck Spanos. 

You must sit around different people at Ducks games than I do. The crowd can skew a little tech bro, but I've never experienced any sort of rampant conservatism at a game or fan event. 

As someone who was born and raised in San Diego, I would have never guessed that Chargers fans could ever abandon the team. But after the Norv years and all of the Spanos bullshit (never forget that the Chargers paid more to leave than the city asked them to pay for their piece of a new stadium), I gladly bought a…

As a Ducks season ticket holder (so I'm obviously horribly biased), I feel like the Ducks have a small, but stable fanbase. The Kings, on the other hand, seem to be boom or bust based on how they're going. Five years ago, I was assaulted by Kings shit everywhere. This year? It's like they no longer exist. 

I've been a huge Sproles fan since his Chargers days (back before they were dead to me) and I've always rooted for him since. The guy just takes the concept of a security blanket/checkdown and turns it into a potential lotto ticket on every touch. 

This made me legit LOL. Well done, Peter and Drew. And get better, Drew!

Sending happy thoughts to Drew from a California urgent care facility. 

I don't even like or follow basketball, but even I picked JR Smith. That has to be one of the most epic fuck ups in sports history and it was just a dumb move (most of the others should have never been in the situations they were in).

The Jeff Buckley versions are soul-rending. The guitar is as mournful as he is and it's completely hypnotic. More of an experience than a song. 

I actually think Pelosi handled both speeches the right way. She’s already public enemy #1 on the right that they try to tie candidates to at any juncture. Promising endless obstruction and hostility in the immediate aftermath of the election helps nobody on our side. So you give lip service to bipartisanship (and I…

It's so perfectly chewy and salty. I’m a total food snob and I adore Costco pizza.

Same. I felt a huge swell of emotions watching this and remembered that sense of wonder and absolute delight from playing. Just a masterful work of art. 

I’m an aggressively casual OW player. I watch and attend OWL events but pretty much only play Mystery Heroes and Arcade modes since I don’t have the right resources to devote to comp.

I'm somewhat surprised there was no Bowsette in these. 

Oh I agree. The new timing makes a lot more sense since the only active competition early in the season will be NHL and NBA. At least they're still playing the matches in Burbank this coming season. Wonder where the Grand Finals will be this year.
