I think American McGee’s Alice probably belongs on the list somewhere.

Nah, I don’t think it’s ridiculous. Look at the Pacific this year. Who is really the quality that you have to beat? The Coyotes aren’t going to make it. From what we are seeing right this second, the Knights and Kings look horrible. The Ducks not much better. That leaves only four teams left. It’s not unreasonable for…

Big cities and good football program depend on how you define each. Ohio State is in Columbus which is 32nd largest metro area. Cincinnati is in Cincinnati, 27th largest metro. Pitt is in Pittsburgh. Cal is in Berkeley, which is basically San Francisco. Maryland is literally 4 miles from the DC border. TCU is in Fort…

Personally, I think that taking out Ryu was idiotic and I said it at the time. How often have you seen a reliever come in and take a few batters to settle down? In a high stress situation, it was begging for a reliever blowup. Ryu was pitching well up to that point and gave up a couple of fluke hits. They should have…

Oilers really came out swinging in the second period. I’m a Pens fan, but they looked good. It wasn’t just the McDavid show either. If they can keep that kind of a pace all season, they’re a playoff team at least. Glad they got the point, glad we got two.

I can’t wear a shirt, but I’m one of those pajama pant guys. I like them because I hate the feeling of my knees touching each other like I’m a freaking cricket when I sleep on my side. I need that half millimeter of cloth to keep them separate. Who knows what kind of funny business my knees would get up to if I just…

That’s fine to me, but my confusion is why Flacco and not a random receiver? You know for a fact that he’s not going to be involved in the play and if he actually starts to do something other than stand there, then the defender is tipped that something is up. So why not someone actually capable of moving the defender…

Serious question. Why is he out there at all? I get that he peels off a defender, but couldn’t a wide receiver do that just as well? I guess it could be for some sort of long game where they lull you into thinking that he’s useless and then he does something? Obviously, if he starts moving at all on one of these…

To be fair, the Leafs have played one more game than everyone else and their schedule so far hasn’t included a single team that made the playoffs last year and only one team that finished last year with a positive goal differential. They have basically played a lineup of horribleness.

They play my Pens tonight. If they can’t score against them, it’s time to just call it a season. I think the Pens are trying to see if they can go an entire season without a defender on their end of the ice. They made the Habs look like the the 83-84 Oilers. We’ll see if the experiment works.

Mens soccer is bad in the US because of the pay-for-play model. I have a son that showed a lot of promise at a very young age for soccer. To actually get into the youth pipeline, it runs about 2500 dollars a year for travel teams. We didn’t have the money, so he stuck with rec soccer which by the time they are 8 or so…

West Virginia likes economic liberals and social conservatives which is what Manchin is. That means that people that only view the world through either an economic or social lens aren’t going to like Manchin. If you want wealth redistribution, you probably will like Manchin. If you like abortion, you aren’t. When the…

Payday lending is a strange beast. Not that it’s not predatory, but it’s not comparable to say a mortgage. Typically how it works is not on an APR type of calculation, but a simple flat fee. You need a thousand dollars for two weeks? That’ll cost you 50 bucks (which works out to an enormous 130% interest.) Because of…

The only Dems that can win in WV are conservative ones. WV is socially conservative, economically liberal. We’re fine with progressive taxation and the labor movement. We like guns and not killing babies. Pretty ambivalent about gay people and marijuana. We don’t like anyone that looks like a rich coastal elite and we…

Hah, that is hilarious. I can’t speak for Collins, but targeting Manchin is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. WV is 70% Trump country, being able to hold on to a seat, even with a conservative/moderate Dem in there is way better than having a Trumpian Yes-man and that’s really the choice. You think Swearingen had one…

Wow Columbus. How sad that someone hates your town so much that they aren’t even willing to sit down and discuss a 7 figure salary? You all need to pick up your game. You’re not Cleveland- maybe build some clubs or hire some models to walk around Short North. It’s just a sad situation.

Nah, this isn’t a sham. This is exactly what Republicans want. The left is now saying that the FBI is a ‘sham.’ The exact same claim that the right is making. Now, when we get some sort of indictment of wrong-doing from Mueller, every talking head on the right is going to point to these op-eds and say “See, even they…

Just a comment on Jake Guentzel. He’s one of those players that plays smart, but not necessarily with a ton of talent. (Not that he’s not talented at all, he plays in the NHL after all.) What he is best at is knowing where he’s supposed to be and when he’s playing with maybe the GOAT at center, that’s really what you…

My only real problem with this is that you are putting ‘the will of the people’ on a pedestal. I really think that’s how we got here. The Founding Fathers were scared of the will of the people. They thought that the people certainly needed the bulk of the say, but that in the end they were fickle and ignorant and…

Unfortunately, this is more theater. There is zero chance that if Manchin votes for Kavanaugh that these women will vote for Morrisey and they likely won’t even stay home. Morrisey is a far right guy who has spent most of his time as a lobbyist against Obamacare and challenging Planned Parenthood and Environmental…
