reports began in trickle

Remember when the NFL had fun player swaps like the NBA and MLB still have?

I heard there used to be companies that would compile people’s phone numbers and home addresses and then leave them outside the front door of everyone in town. All you needed was a first and last name and you could call them, or find out where they live.

The second video is the perfect representation of humanity’s historical attitudes toward global warming. All just a nice, sunny day until your shit gets annihilated by a wave that should never have gotten that big.

The one that’s messed with me is the bit on Curb Your Enthusiasm on, “having said that...”. My brain immediately pops back to that when the phrase leaves my mouth.

90's NBC was pretty stellar. I mean, they had Frasier (which while dated, many of the jokes still hold up) on TUESDAY because Thursday was stacked with Friends and Seinfeld. Those are three iconic sitcoms, but even the “B-listers” like Mad About You and Wings pulled pretty strong audiences.

Which is why I didn’t say that. What I said is that the “it’s tougher” argument in the context of paying athletes more for playing in higher profile matches overestimates the challenges for the USMNT. It’s CONCACAF. Historically the USMNT is all but guaranteed a spot in the World Cup because it’s in CONCACAF. So it…

The whole, “it’s tougher” thing only holds up if you’re talking about knockout stage games. Qualifying out of CONCACAF should be automatic (hence what an embarrassment it was for the men to fail to do that), and it’s not unreasonable to expect the USMNT to make it out of group play at any given WC.

Part of the problem now (and this is the shady thing the Federation is using) is there’s a pay for win in different settings. The women would very much want that, and the men, well they wouldn’t have gotten paid much last World Cup.

Broncos: We are thrilled to have Super Bowl Champion Quarterback Joe Flacco on the roster.

I haven’t read the comic, but I think the show makes the amoral corporation point enough. There’s a pretty on-the-nose exchange about how the supes could definitely go be heroes on their own, but who’s gonna pay them for it? It’s also pretty telegraphed in setting up the idea of corporations engineering problems they…

I wouldn’t go so far as controlling. Ineos has mostly controlled the leader group on important stages. Jumbo Visma has been the team that’s shown the best semblance of hanging with the Ineos co-leaders/tempo train.

The moment Kruijswijk countered Thomas’ move it was clear Alaphilippe was done for. Bernal hesitated with Alaphilippe for a bit, and then pranced off up to, and past those two. It illustrated how those guys have a different level of form right now, and especially as Alaphilippe’s team isn’t really structured for a GC…

Makes you wonder how many times this guy has missed a flight because they were paging Daniel Robertson, Mr. Daniel Robertson.

Very true. I’m however, basing this entirely on knowledge gained through The Wire.

Thank you. I was hoping I wouldn’t be the only one to nitpick, but c’mon...the way this was described are two different things.

With the exception of a few words, this really does function perfectly as a Matt Foley sketch.

There are some who posit the U.S. may already be in a recession, the data just hasn’t fully reflected it yet. Some of the mainstay indicators (which aren’t foolproof in their predictive powers) are pointing to an impending recession. I believe the Fed forecast is now at 33% chance of recession for early 2020. A No…

It’s most definitely unlikely...but still something I’d like to see. If anyone went against the consensus it would have to be France or Germany. No one else has the pull within the union to do it, and not feel the blowback.

So he’s pretty screwed is what you’re saying. Which...yeah...Brexit is a political disaster. What remains to be seen is if it will become a full on economic disaster. I would truly like to see Macron put an end to it on Halloween and refuse to vote for another extension, if it comes to that. These extensions are shrug…
