TimeWarner would probably be happy to jettison CNN, to be honest. It’s the rest of Turner Broadcasting that they want to hold on to—TNT, TBS, etc. They have NBA rights and can sell themselves endless reruns of The Big Bang Theory at whatever price they want.

I’m positive that whoever the idiot is at ABC that is giving their shows awful titles, has a brother at CBS responsible for 9JKL.

No. The Price is Right isn’t buying the car and giving it away. The car company places the car on the show for it’s advertising value. Nissan (in this case) wanted to promote the Versa, so it gave one to TPIR as a marketing expenditure (costing Nissan their manufacturing cost of the car). In exchange, TPIR reads off…

Still repetitive. I think he was at Thrillist for one full “cycle” of all the usual topics. At BE, it seems there are fewer stories each week. The stories are good, but personally he’s a bit off to me.

Quite possibly the best baseball highlight that prominently involves two NFL superstars.

Yep. Few years back I was at a highway split: left two lanes break off and go West, right two lanes break off and go North, creating two new highways off the one main road. I was in the #2 lane, waiting to break off and go West. Rush hour traffic was awful and I was literally stopped and at a standstill. Cars on my…

Oh, one more I have to add... when motorcycles zip between lanes in moderate-to-heavy traffic, and some idiot decides to play Traffic Cop and moves over to block the motorcycle from passing them. “Oh, just because they’re motorcycles they don’t get to weave between cars! They should have to sit in traffic with the…

Los Angeles driver here. I signal, when I see an obvious opening space, with plenty of room, for two blinks only, max. Anything longer, and as soon as the car you’re about to move in front of sees, he will accelerate and close the gap to keep you out. God forbid he ends up behind another car, I guess. It’s a daily…

I see most of my peeves have already been mentioned... don’t play “highway cop” and insist on driving slow in the left lane—with the attitude of “If they want to break the law and speed, they can go around me”, don’t block other drivers in the merge, signal please, stay in your lane... so let me add my latest.

I hear Kaepernick is available.

Wait, Lorca is supposed to be a Bad Guy, right?

Ahem, the Hartford Whalers would like a word with you.

I think you’ve got it backwards, Drew. Sports debates didn’t mold to follow political debates. Instead, politics shifted to be more like sports. The differences between each “side” in politics are no more significant than the differences between the Yankees and Red Sox anymore. Both are the same. Corrupt,…

Look again at the dates on these reports. They’re all before the Trump Administration.

We still use it at the office. The cubicles and offices are pretty spread out and it’s an easy way to shoot a message over to someone that there’s a call on hold or that there’s a simple question needing an answer. Going to miss it. I know there are alternatives, but, not everyone here is tech-savvy enough to figure…

Ken Jennings was a consistent big-better on DJs. He would frequently wager most of his lead on each.

We learned what nouns and verbs were. That was about it. Adverbs, adjectives, etc. not included. We did not diagram sentences or anything else like that.

Teaming up won’t work.

Scion/Toyota (kind of) let you customize as much as you wanted. Generally the cars arrived at the port in the base configuration, and they had guys there that would take whatever the order was and customize it on site by adding in the modules. I do remember having to place my order with five different dealerships and…

I remember as a kid, the local magic shop had some old “guide to ventriloquism” book from the 1950s. The back cover had a rundown of all the tricks and techniques you would learn if you bought it... which could potentially lead to a great career in the theater, traveling circus, or radio!
