I’ll keep that in mind! I find it fascinating to have an entire province that speaks primarily one language, when the rest of the country speaks primarily another. I live in Miami, and obviously there are a lot of Spanish speakers around, but it’s clear the dominant language is still English in almost every area. The…

I went on a road trip across Canada last summer. I had a few takes

Florida plays in Sunrise, which is a good 45-60 minutes Northwest from Miami, and more with traffic. As you might imagine, the populations of Broward and Palm Beach counties, which are just as close or closer, are more likely to be going to an ice hockey game, as that’s where your Northern transplants end up living.…

I’m a high school teacher, and my friend teaches Human Geography. He used to have students make their own political cartoons for various topics they learned. Now he has them make memes about various issues facing humans around the world. The students apparently love it. Favorite assignment by far.

Negative news sells way better than positive news. If the Raptors started sucking, you’d probably read more about them.

That’s what i figured. Which doesn’t exactly translate into “racism”, but it’s in the same general area. It makes more sense than just assuming that they’re all racists. The differences among the various Soviet Bloc countries are numerous, and I could see some ethnic tensions from there. Much better take than “lol…

I bet Rod Watson reads Splinter on purpose. He doesn’t even need to be tricked with some clickbait headline.

I know about various incidents in Poland and the Balkans. I just saw Lithuania as not exactly Eastern European. I associate more as a Baltic state, rather than an Eastern European state. But, I sure as hell have never been there, and have no idea what similarities or differences it has with Eastern Europe.

Oh for sure, didn’t question that. But Lithuania seems like a bit of an outlier. I mean, they don’t even really have much of a minority population at all. 98% of their population is ethnically Lithuanian, Polish, Russian or Belarusian. I could definitely see some problems between, say, Lithuanians and Poles, or…

I’m not sure, but I would stop confusing him with Blaine Gabbert if he was named Jim McNamara.

Racism against whom?

Good call, he was Jewish. He was also Roman, which is where my confusion came in. Apparently, you could be both Roman and Jewish. I knew he was the former, and I thought that that precluded the latter.

Interestingly enough, Paul was one of the first prominent non-Jewish apostles.

Reese could easily have traded down ten spots and still gotten Apple while picking up, say, a third rounder in the process. Reese’s draft record, particularly in the mid and later rounds, is what got him fired, but if he had handled the front of the draft better (where he was pretty good at selecting talent lately,…

Apple wasn’t that good last year. The success of the secondary was largely due to Collins DPOY-caliber season and Jenkins’ All-Pro-caliber season, as well as a fairly efficient pass rush that got lots of QB hurries (if not a terrible amount of sacks). Apple was mediocre much of the season, and made lots of mistakes.…

See, the thing about those scenarios is that Rosen got handed one! An 11-5 team with a QB who had started 210 games in a row and won two Super Bowls ended up going 2-14/3-13 because they’re idiot GM figured that the worst Offensive Line didn’t deserve the use of a good draft pick or a free agent signing (but don’t…

They really messed up by going with a new song. It’s awful.

Anything to escape politics, I hear you there.

No, moron, Baker Mayfield isn’t gonna get taken until around pick 15.
