This thread has made me feel good today. To see people who may have a number of different opinions come together over a major wrong and not try to rip each other apart for those other differences. THIS is what makes me keep faith in humanity.

2 honest areas I’d like to know more about if anyone has some knowledge they can drop because I’m sadly not as versed on the NBA cap and finances:

1) How long can GS keep their team together before it starts breaking up due to all of their guys wanting/deserving max money? Does the new salary cap mean they’ll all get…

Julio Jones was great, but I’m still trying to decide if he or saxophonist Mike Phillips who played the Star Spangled Banner was the best performer on the field today

I too am completely shocked that WWE didn’t recognize their own African American Wrestlers here like the completely not racist in any way Akeem the African Dream

That video made me miss Gorilla Monsoon. Loved hearing his wrestling calls growing up

You’re right, not every hit in the head causes a concussion, but the ability to be able to check that sure seems like it should take a bit longer than 1 play

Yes college kids are adults, but I think it’s too simplistic to say “Well they have the choice to stop.” Sure, they technically do, but if they stop how many of them can afford to remain in school without that football scholarship? How many have families back home counting on them to either try to make it to the NFL…

I’m sorry to be that guy, but he’s not the youngest head coach in NFL history. ESPN’s story has it as a 27 year old from 1938 for the Cleveland Rams the year after they entered the NFL from the AFL. He might be the youngest coach since the merger, but not youngest in history.

It’s been years since I’ve watched an ESPN football show outside of the game itself so I’ve been spared from so much awful Chris Berman, but I love baseball and every so often I get the terrible surprise of hearing his voice on a baseball game. During every inning of those games I find myself truly feeling bad for…

Good for baseball. Sure baseball has its issues and those probably didn’t all get solved this time around, but really there was nothing here to really go to the lockout/strike mat over. Both sides are making money and both sides are relatively happy with how things are so glad to see a sport keep rolling along without…

I think this line undermines your argument: “Since the election, though, Trump has hired advisers who would seem to be friendly to such a merger, and analysts now believe the deal could get approved after all, if Trump’s personal grudges are outweighed by pro-business advisers.”

Trump is a baby and an idiot, but I also…

To me the most shocking thing was that he was above .500 at all

Didn’t he go after Saban earlier this year for him not suspending Cam Robinson and Laurence Jones after their arrests?

I’m no Feinbaum fan, but it does seem like this year he’s doing more speaking out about programs and their lip service vs actual action.

To me this is exactly why we need a complete overhaul of voting and our 2 party system. We need to start going to proportional government and IRVs.

Not sure I understand your post back to me. Maybe you meant for someone else? Either way, in case it was for me I’ll answer.

Democrats DID pick a relative unknown in 2008 and that turned out ok for them.

Also, I never alluded to any Great Democrat who was ready to run but that doesn’t mean the party did a good job…

I agree with the back half of your comment. we need to do more for 3rd parties because we are not just a 2-idea country.

Originally I thought the same. Ok it didn’t look good for her that as the hand picked candidate she lost to a relative newbie on the national scene in Obama in 2008, but like you pointed out maybe Clinton just lost to a rock star candidate.

However when an relative unknown like Sanders pushed her way more than he…

You could feasibly add more to this list.

Blame Anthony Wiener for not keeping his fucking dick and phone in his pants which paved the way for one last Hillary e-mail issue at the worst possible time.

Blame the DNC for their clear stacking the deck against Bernie Sanders which completely pissed off his supporters and…

Ok, I’m actually worried about this election now that JR Smith has kept his shirt on. When the Cavs won he was repeatedly shirtless. As soon as the video board showed him shirtless at the World Series Cleveland came back and tied Game 7 (I assume it was when he put his shirt back on that the Cubs scored in the 10th)

Dam…

I understand your point, but it makes the committee look like a joke doing this. We all know they’re not going to leave out an undefeated power 5 conference champion, so to rank this way now just looks dumb. If neither team loses the rest of the way what reason will the committee use for jumping A&M? Washington…
