Sadly, this game wasn’t a blowout. Final score: 146-123. Not exactly close, but damn. Nobody was playing any defense.

“and he’s only a sophomore so I don’t care”

Big deal. His kind of game might be conducive to winning a Final Four or the occasional Olympics, but he’ll retire without a ring (unlike his brother LaLebron).

I’ve ALMOST got my brother using “women” instead of “girls” now. He’s 44, & when he talks about going out & meeting girls (he’s divorced, thinking about rejoining the dating world), I just casually ask if he’s looking for minors or grown women. He started to figure it out, & now still says girls sometimes but almost…

*sigh*

Counterpoint: “women” is perfectly fine. Use that one. :D

Oh I absolutely agree with you. Saying “ladies” is super creepy—it reminds me of that WWF wrestler Val Venis who would always say “hello...llaaaddiiieesss.” “Chicks,” makes you sound chauvinistic and “broads” is just the 1940s version of it. So, I usually just call a group of women “guys” if I’m addressing them…

Whatever you choose, it will never be good enough.

I agree. But we need to come up with an acceptable alternative to “women.” “Girls” is belittling, but “women” is just too damn formal! For guys, we have, well, “guy(s),” and “dude(s),” because saying “man/men” in every context would just be weird. “Gals” will never work. Ever. “Ladies” can come off as sleezy.…

Her rating is 2651, not her ranking. The person ranked 100 has a rating of 2655, so as Patrick said she is just outside the top 100.

What I’m wondering is what the 2651 ranking actually tells us (and I don’t know much Inside Baseball about competitive chess). It could tell us that she’s not having success against the field of male players, or it could tell us that she’s not being given the chance to be competitive at the same level. I think it’s…

Probably not

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble.

I don’t know enough about competitive Chess but is there actually a need for a Women’s division vs. a Men’s division?

I generally like Charles too. He, Kenny, & Ernie [very much sans Shaq] and the College [Football] Game Day guys put on the two best studio sports shows ever as far as I’m concerned.

I’m a top 10 NFL QB. I think unions suck and we need to make America great again. I have more to say but I have to be anonymous. My wife would kill me and I have a game coming up.

I had a cabbie once who spent the whole ride to the airport telling me all the details of the escort service he ran on the side. I was 12. You definitely don’t get that with Uber.

“Because they have no union. They are not organized. And therefore they are at the mercy of their company.”

Yawn......isn’t there something more recent that can be brought up? What about the Patriots and the serial killer they had on their team?
