I think this, combined with the Chargers and Rams, is a warning for all sports leagues, but especially the NFL. The (San Diego) Chargers, (St. Louis) Rams, and (Oakland) Raiders all had perfectly acceptable attendance numbers. They were all making plenty of money. The problem was that their cities wouldn’t buy them a…

“What I am saying is going to school for six year as lets say a nurse and then working a nursing job for minimum wage.” You mean like doctors? Medical Interns, medical doctors in their first year(s), work 80 hours a week and make $35k. After four years of undergrad and four years of medical school they make $8.75 an…

It’s partially about where the nearest other teams are to eat into your market. The closest team to the Hurricanes is the Washington Capitals. D.C. is 275 miles away from Raleigh. Within 275 miles of Hartford you had the: Bruins, Rangers, Islanders, Flyers, and Devils. That hurts a team.

The internet is full of terrible recipes that contain canned cream of mushroom soup. It’s the number one rule of internet recipes: if it contains cream of mushroom soup it’s crap.

Honestly what will allow actual socialist policies (or at least democratic socialist/social democrat) to enter the discussion is that the GOP has spent the past generation calling anything to the left privatizing medicare “socialism.” When protecting and expanding the social safety net, which polls very well, is…

This hits the nail on the head. There are so many games now that are just... lacking. They are technical marvels with good voice acting and solid gameplay and they don’t grab me at all. Kingdom Hearts I and II (II is my personal favorite) are not necessarily great from a technical point of view, but I really don’t…

Centrists are stupid. They act all offended because nobody likes them and blame it on “partisanship” and not “supporting stupid ideas that roughly 90% of the population are opposed to like cutting Medicare.” The only question he should be asked is “why do you want Donald Trump to win?” Because that’s what his running…

I mean... yeah. That’s why Clinton lost. If all the Bernie supporters voted for Clinton she would have won (which I say as someone who supported Burnie and voted for Clinton).

She was a prosecutor, and she went beyond even the normal prosecutorial BS. If she explained why her positions changed or even acknowledged the realities of prosecution I’d be more on board with her. That being said I’m voting for her if she wins the primary.

MLB free agents. NFL RBs have lost more over the past decade, but not the last 2 years. Also the MLB FA’s are losing it due to collusion, while RB’s are losing it due to the fact that they’re replaceable. Manny Machado had a WAR of 5.7 last year, the league wide average for SS was 0.9. Machado’s WAR was 4.8 above the…

Obviously a small player can be legitimately successful. Isaiah Thomas spent a few seasons as one of the most dynamic scorers in the league, and averaged 18.9 PPG across his career despite being listed at 5'9". Muggsy Bogues averaged 7.6 assists per game across a 14 year career despite being listed at 5'3".

“Listen the play failed because the smallest guy on our team failed to successfully stop a literal freight train that runs the 40 in five flat despite being 6'4" and 300 lbs.”

Manchin is a moron and I loathe to give him any credit, but there is potentially some merit to this strategy. One struggle the Democrats are going to have moving forwards is that the GOP is going to try and jettison Trump once he’s out of power, to claim he was an aberration. Democrats need to make clear that Trump is…

Honestly I do think that 2B might be a tad OP. She does a ton of burst damage, and can string combos a bit too easily and with too consistent of a range. She does have some attacks that leave her open for a good period of time, but on the whole she could maybe be nerfed just a bit.

Am I wrong for thinking that a Mastadon/OutKast collab would be fire?

All the albums on this list are great, but here are some others I’d give a look from this year.

His absolute inability to get his policy preferences enacted was generally pretty good. If he had been successful we’d be even more fucked.

I mean it’s also possible they think he’s ready. Carter Hart is a beast, probably the best goaltending prospect behind the three Russians. 20 is very young for a goalie to be NHL ready, and I doubt he is, but Hart is a guy who has the potential to be special and this might be a chance to show it.

The district court shouldn’t have ruled on the issue at all because there isn’t standing to sue. The tax cut zeroed out the individual mandate’s tax penalty. There is still a mandate to have health insurance, it just so happens that there isn’t any punishment for not having health insurance. If there’s no tax penalty…

The ACA only passed because of Pelosi. The ACA isn’t perfect, it’s far from it, but when Ted Kennedy died and a Republican won that special election almost every Dem was saying that healthcare reform was dead. Not only did Pelosi pick up that mantle, she actually got a version through the house that had a public…
