I’ve never understood the 400 years. Slavery in what would become the USA started in 1619 in Jamestown. It lasted for 244 years until 1863. That’s a fucking long time! That’s two years longer than the USA has existed as of 2018. 244 years is long enough for any amount of outrage or blame. 244 years is a stain on the…

A monarchy where the right to rule is based on heredity and, at least partially, hand-to-hand combat is no kind of utopia. I was hoping Wakanda was going to be portrayed as a bit more enlightened than that, even knowing that Black Panther was a “king” going into it. The system was so easily corrupted by one member of…

This was an inside job; a hit on Niko at the command of Gar/Pax. Follow the money. Niko is the second highest paid player on the team (after Bob Lopez, of course). Gar/Pax wants to build equity with Mikey R. and get him more pocket money. So, the play is to have Bobby P. jack Niko up so that he quits the team and…

If a guy is on the Bulls roster, that guys is presumed to be butt unless there is definitive proof otherwise (or your name is Lauri). If he wasn’t butt he wouldn’t be on the Bulls.

I don’t know, but old has beens like Granderson and Utley are the only things keeping the Cubs alive here. Trade those two line up spots out for replacement level and Cubs are already out.

I agree with tennis as most mentally grueling. Especially those 4+ hour five set matches. Baseball is like a vacation between at bats most of the time — a guy playing centerfield, for example, is more or less on autopilot — it’s hard to play good center, of course, but they don’t have to think about it— the decision…

Because the top three teams qualify. At the end, the percentages for the top three teams will equal 300%.

Correct.

Barcelona is the second place team and just beat the first place team, putting a lot of pressure on Madrid to win out the season or risk losing first place. Barca won their last five games last year and could easily do it again. Other than a game where the teams are tied at first going into the game, how is a…

Metallica said “Sad But True”. Or at least they said it in a popular song. Megadeath may also have said it, I wasn’t there. I would never hire someone who mixes up Metallica and Megadeath, so your point seems valid.

And you feel your personal story is representative of the academic prospects of enlisted personnel? Or are you an exceptional case?

LOL. Who are you writing this for? Enlisted join the military because they just graduated from high school and didn’t get a sports scholarship and have no job prospects or academic ability. Most of them couldn’t possibly read a blog post with multiple paragraphs and no pictures.

This is all correct, but very old news for actual cubs fans. We all knew the real curse was the Wrigley family and the Tribune company. That was what we were long suffering from and everyone knew it. And nowadays, with no salary cap, the Cubs should never be out of contention for long in a division populated by the…

Counterpoint: Bryant hasn’t gotten a hit off a four seam fastball in the whole series: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_search?hfPT=FF%7C&hfZ=&hfGT=&hfPR=&hfAB=&stadium=&hfBBT=&hfBBL=&hfC=&season=2016&player_type=batter&hfOuts=&pitcher_throws=&batter_stands=&start_speed_gt=&start_speed_lt=&perceived_speed_gt=&p…

But the Cubs and Sox are not rivals. They have played almost zero games that mattered against each other and none that really mattered in living memory. The Cubs have literally never stopped the Sox from winning anything. Clippers and Lakers are in the same division in the same conference.
