OK, now I get it. That’s the same reaction I’d have if I opened a pack of 1989 Fleer cards and it had a Billy Ripken “Fuck Face” card in it.

No. Jimmy John is the shitbag who murders defenseless large game from a safe distance with a high powered rifle for fun.

I bet he gets talent and residuals from the spots. Taking him out of the ads removed a revenue stream. Rich people love money. That’s why he was pissed.

My guess is it’s all about the ecosystem, of which HBO is merely 1 piece. The data gathered from HBO will help build out a smarter ad platform for AT&T’s ad tech business which pushes across the web.

Got through the list, saw this was missing. Glad to see it represented here. Well done.

I’d rather kill the divisions and conferences entirely and add 5 games to the season, everyone plays each other 3 times (29 opponents x 3 games each = 87 game season; or better yet, contract 2 teams for an 81 game season). Now, that adds the two home/one road or vice versa for each team you play, but you could just…

I have a daughter the same age. If you like slow, world building, trippy (but not too trippy) kids cartoons, check out Sarah & Duck. It’s the cartoon I imagine Tim Burton would create if he wasn’t all goth. Perfect for a 2-year old in that it isn’t too fast/A.D.D. inducing and isn’t full of “sharing is good” or any…

T-shirt jerseys were definitely a thing in 2004. A group of us went to St. Louis from Chicago to visit a buddy and while there we attended the Cards/Cubs game (Sox fan here, but it was a great weekend trip). Partying that Saturday night at a bar, one friend was jawing back and forth with a drunken lady Cards fan…

Being an Apple TV user, I can see the appeal. So many times the remote goes missing in the dark that voice commands would be helpful. But that’s a problem a better sized, back lit remote could easily remedy.

Southwest’s policy is pretty clear

Atta boy! Got the 033 myself.

Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to just bring back the Great Outdoor Games? That aired during my prime bar-frequenting years and there was nothing better to see on the TVs than dog leaping and agility contest, dudes shimmying up a pole to saw off the top, and logrolling.

The area where State and Rush meet. Has a ton of bars, restaurants, and old divorced dudes with money trolling for tail.

This. We’re in the Dallas suburbs now and have 2 kids so even if we go back, it’ll be in Downers Grove or some other suburb. I’m not sure if I’d say I miss it, or want to do it again, so much as I’m just glad I did it. Kind of like how I feel about college. You can’t go home again.

Grandpa Joe, decent? Tell me you’re not serious. That old man laid in bed for 20 years letting his poor daughter take care of him and his wife along with the inlaws, all while smoking tobacco that he sure as hell wasn’t paying for. He also somehow bought a Wonka bar for Charlie with no money (thus, he swiped money…

The old Elwood Blues defense. “It wasn’t lies. It was just...bullshit.”

I was very pleased recently when watching The Muppet Movie with my daughter I had a, “what else has that guy been in?,” moment looking at Doc Hopper’s lackey. Looked it up and, BAM, the My Cousin Vinny public defender.

Dammit I miss deep dish sometimes. Left Chicago 4 years ago and the Dallas suburbs don’t have shit for good delivery. Lou Malnati’s was the best, btw, Giordano’s was subpar, and Chicago’s Pizza, while shitty, was my late night savior (Missed more than a few orders due to passing out before the dude arrived).

A very...interesting game, this...poker.
