I started the book. Love it! Thanks for the guidance.

It is not only how dominant LBJ is but the fact that the NBA lends itself to being hijacked by one player. There simply is too many teams and not enough talent in a sport that lends itself to being facilitated by star power more than anything. Hence why Lebron holds all of the cards. He is the most valuable player…

Too happy go lucky. Need more brooding.

Considering the context of Statship Troopers, it could be a descendant.

You beat me to the punch. It was totally a bar setter for the genre.

To me, nothing beats the first season of GOT. The pacing was perfect (unlike the other seasons) and it really set the bar high for what a fantasy series could be. Everything just felt perfect. Then I became sullied and now bitch about deviations from the books.

+1 I hate your guts.

Nice!

Nuh Uh! No undeath = no zombie.

Did they ever get off that island?

I see your point.

Nice...

My friend cried the first time the Giants beat the Patriots in the SB. Still laugh at him to this day for that.

Haha!

Why so angry, friend?

I do not discount that Beane has had success(not including WS) nor in any way do i deny that sabermetrics has had a huge impact on the game. My overriding point is that I think that Beane is not the gold standard of a GM and he is not the ultimate baseball innovator he builds himself up to be. To be fair I'm more…

My point: he hasn't won the WS since he has been in charge of the A's ( 98) let alone a pennant. This is opposed to the Marlins and the Rays who have strict salary restrictions. Yet WS champs they are. Beane is not the Messiah of baseball.

Coop deez nuts.

No sarcasm on my part. Being a human is chaotic. I was calling Bean a pud BTW.
