Ok but what everyone who brings up the ‘84 Olympics fails to realize is that the IOC isn’t operating under the same parameters as they were back then. Through experience they have gotten a lot better at fleecing money out of the hosting cities. It is just one of the numerous reasons that hosting the Olympics have…

I think for most cities it is the mayor who decides who the police chief is. I do agree that the system needs to change and a big part of it is civilian input. However, you also need a way of vetting the people you put on this council. I guess districts could vote for their rep but then it politicizes the position.

Wait how exactly is baseball mentally grueling? The sport doesn’t even require you to be paying attention for half of the game

Nah not necessarily. Some people can balance that never lose drive and still manage to be a good person. Take a superstar like LeBron he has that drive but he is still out in the community giving back.

Well one of the problems with military aviation, especially in the Marines, is that the draw down hit the wing units hard. When I got out in 2014 there were a lot of slots open for Marines to reclassify their MOS into the aviation field. A lot of squadrons weren’t able to get their pilots decent flying time because…

Its an interesting thought but the first thing that stood out to me is how that lottery system could easily fail. Through the luck of the draw you could end up with a board that consists mainly of uneducated people. According to their example, the only requirement is to be a citizen of that area for over 5 years. So…

Whats really going to be an issue is if his dad keeps opening his mouth and causing problems for him. He’s already started some stupid beef with Joel Embiid and what do you think will happen when they play during the season? And then whats happens when Lavar says something stupid about a popular player or someone on…

You forgot all the time that when Horn went to clinch and couldn’t get a headlock, he would push down on the back of his neck. I blame the ref for not putting a stop to it early on. It happens a few times that’s one thing, when you’re doing it 5 or 6 times a round that’s an issue

Damn really? My mistake then I haven’t had time to go re watch the fight. Appreciate it for not saying it like a sarcastic ass though!

Yeah Horn had a high work rate but he was hitting air for the vast majority of his punches. Did they ever name the judge who scored it 117-111? Because who ever that is shouldn’t work another high level, or hell even mid tier, fight again. Like you said that’s 9 rounds to 3! Horn also should have had a point deducted…

Except that you would be wrong. Big Bang Theory, NCIS, NCIS LA and Bull are the only scripted shows over 10 million. Hawaii 5 0, NCIS: NO and Blue Bloods are all 9 something. 60 Minutes is their only other show over 10 million.

I mean I don’t think they are allowed to use a picture that isn’t blurred out. But if it means that much to you, you can always hit up google for that untouched picture

You could argue about the definition of power but the President wields an incredible amount of influence when it comes to the economy and business. Trump proved that by frequently stating that he was going to bring back coal jobs. So an industry that was essentially dead due to better and cheaper alternatives had life…

I think that’s a very simplistic view to take on scope and role of the President. If you wanted to call the the presidency a figure head role, I would agree with you to a certain extent (mainly all of their duties pertaining to being Chief of State and Party). But the scope, power, and influence of the position goes a…

What is also crazy is that CBS couldn’t come to an agreement for a show that usually bring in 10 million viewers. Other than Big Bang Theory and NCIS, can you even name another CBS show that brings in that many viewers?

You should get a better CPA then because I’m in the same boat and I’ve always has gotten out of paying the mandate due to economic hardships. There’s a list of 14 things that can get you out of paying the mandate.

Ehh I do think he is a good music business man but this whole Tidal fiasco is completely his fault. Its like their entire business plan was lets just get a bunch of famous people on board and everyone will flock to our product.

See I hate stories like this because it is obvious only one side of the story is out. Like maybe she does have a case or maybe their GPA’s are exactly the same. And her mom is full of it implying that she knows what the other student GPA is? Like she had that kids entire transcript in front of her or something. Nah…

Technically yes but Pence is next in line so I doubt he will change much

Actually manipulating people into committing murder is still seen as killing according to the court of law
