“And we still say Attack of the Clones.”

Dude, stop being pedantic. Your lineage doesn’t have to match your actual, technical last name. You are, for example, a descendant of your mother’s lineage even though you probably don’t share her maiden name.

I didn’t see the TIE fighter getting cut in half OR an ice planet!  I want those things!

“I also feel like your point is overlooked by the majority of the cord-cutting crowd that is currently up in arms about all of the different competing services popping up everywhere and also the rising prices of some streaming services (I’m looking at you DirectTV Now and YouTube TV). All of those shenanigans aside,…

I’ll go a step further and say I enjoyed Interstellar far more than Arrival.

just get me a summary of this on my desk by tomorrow morning.  thanks

It is odd to me that Gen X now includes BEE (age 55), me (age 45) and, at least according to some folks, even my younger brother (age 36). Someone born in 1964 has had a much different life experience than someone born in 1973 and certainly someone born in 1982. I mean, for crying out loud, I was in elementary school…

Midichlorians, obviously.  Next question

THIS ALL DAY.  It’s the freaking lack of feedback that demands you push any button multiple times!

everything you’re doing here is god’s work

don’t act like you know what i can and can’t do, pal

I hear you, but I think the simple answer is there has to be a line drawn.  You look at it when it matters, because well ... it matters.  You can’t look at every single out of bounds play, but the ones that happen at the end of the half and the end of regulation or OT simply matter more in a close game. Those are the…

You don’t know my great great grandma, liar

Laser beams and robots SHOULD make objective determinations like this.  Absolutely.  But “everything” couldn’t include subjective things like fouls.  So it should be both.

But it’s not “law.” No one is making a legal ruling. It is a literal fact. Even the author admits that it was the correct call. Good. That’s what I want ... correct calls on objective events in sports.  I don’t want every foul reviewed, because fouls are subjective.  But I sure the hell want objective events such as…

That’s dumb because whether a foul happened or not is necessarily subjective. But whether a ball hits Player A or Player B is not subjective. It can be objectively and definitively determined by watching the replay.

But why DON’T umps have access to computerized strike zones?! There is literally no justification for this in light of today’s technology. I’m 45 years old and I love baseball. But man, FUCK these umps with their “own” strike zones. Seriously. Put a monitor behind home plate. The ump can stand there and, in real time,…

go gators!

I read this article three times trying to resolve this question in my mind as well.  He’s two away from the MLB record ... and also six away from the MLB record.  Ok ...

My wife was born in Poland and came to the US when she was 10 years old. The thing that helped her learn English the fastest? Watching her favorite childhood Disney movies in English. She had practically memorized The Little Mermaid and Aladdin in Polish, so this gave her the proper context to follow along and begin…
