interesting point. in 1992, how often did someone living in Dallas get the chance to watch a Bulls game? a couple times a year, but were there many regular season nationally televised games at that point?
I’m really gonna start using “being Bernard Tomic” as an execuse for everything in my life. It’s foolproof.
$700-$800 per person for that??????
no idea if this is true or not but I gave it a star because it sounded like SCIENCE
“The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Protestant Christian denomination distinguished by its observance of Saturday, the seventh day of the week in Christian and Jewish calendars.”
the 7th day / the Sabbath is Saturday (or more precisely, from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday). You were quoting Jewish texts. Jews celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday.
what does this completely obvious statement of fact mean?
as much as they damn well please
I’ve lived in Florida a lot over the past several years, and it has a lot of nice qualities that I love (golfing in shorts in January is such a joy, as are quick trips to the beach from most anywhere in the state).
the Forest Park golf course in St Louis (next to the WashU campus) is pretty dope. Cool to have an urban golf experience. Some solid elevation change for the midwest. 27 holes. And best of all, unlike most golf courses these days, not built through an ugly housing development.
Illinois has 8 classes (state champions) in football, 1-2 classes (state champions) in smaller sports (bowling, I think), 3 in more popular sports like cross country, 4 in really popular sports like girls volleyball and b/g basketball.

this is a great take
nice to see it active at trendy bars in Chicago and Brooklyn
there’s one in Brooklyn

what about Jerry makes you cringe?
does anyone think that “running up the score” is or isn’t disrespectful?
