Yet I still have that “non partisan” friend who only posts about the market when it goes down.

Edvinsson played the most minutes for Sweden and barely saw the power play which is wild. How the F does he pivot so well without even using crossovers?! From head of Elite Prospects: Sebrango goal: Edvinsson given first star despite Owen Power scoring a hat trick: https://thehockeynews.com/news/world-junior-championship-three-stars-from-dec-26?fbclid=IwAR07-UR0zUk5aTC2FPrQ3HsXFuWPfIp1p7qaPiY8cJyZ6MBU9Z5bfM4h8So Cossa still not starting today despite Canada switching goalies 😞

Lol. Scalia made it clear enough over the years In his public statements that he didn’t take that oath seriously when it came to religion

Edvinsson scored a nice shorthanded breakaway goal against Russia Viro wearing the C for Finland I think, saw he may have had a PP assist yesterday Neither Cossa nor Bednar started for their teams and the teams' other goalies got lit up. Sebrango scored. Mazur laid a big hit at least, I saw Savage dressed too

I have never lived in Texas or either Dakota. Its radio...........Town-To-Town, Up and Down the Dial. I lived in Albuquerque for exactly one year. Arrived there March 26, 1996 and left March 25, 1997. I was driving in Missouri moving back here listening to the Wings-Avs game on WJR when the Bloody Revenge game happened. AM skip rules. Stopped for the night in Illinois to watch the ESPN replay of the game but fell asleep before that part of the game happened. Thought I'd never see it, but EVERYONE taped it. I once drove to Canada to drop off a tape/resume at 89X. Got stopped by the guards on the entry back to the U.S. because I had New Mexico plates (DRUG RUNNER !!!!!). Wound up talking to the customs lady for an hour about growing up in Detroit and the Boblo Boat and Edgewater Park and the Swimmobiles, she figured out I was a local. 1987-88 Athens, Georgia. School, college radio, all the bands came to the station, wearing shorts in January. walked everywhere. great shape back then. 1989-90 Naples, Florida. Worked for a small non-commercial Top 40 station. Bad fit. Not a Top 40 guy. I hated Bobby Brown music and they played a ton of Bobby Brown music. Too much Stevie B too. Just awful. Had a good tan, though, and lived near an orange juice plant, so it smelled amazing. 1990-92 Back Home. Worked a job where I listened to tapes of radio stations from all over the country, the recorders would record 8 seconds skims every 2:20 seconds and we had to identify the songs. I played Name That Tune for a living (most stations play the same shit). 1992 Minneapolis (for 9 days - owner flipped the format and fired everyone, he knew he was doing this when okay'd hiring me - dickhead.) When I first interviewed for that job it was early March and the high temp that day was going to be 11 below zero. I thought "maybe this isn't for me". They hired me May 13th. Fired me and flipped the station on the Friday before Memorial Day, the day after I signed my apartment lease, the landlord was very nice about letting me out of it, he was a nice guy. 1992 Stayed in a cheap motel for a week in Oxford, Ohio not knowing if I was going to work there for 97X (BAM!, The Future of Rock & Roll), move back home to Detroit with no prospects or follow the guy that hired me in Minneapolis (he didn't know the station was about to flip) to Augusta, Georgia. Then lived in metro Atlanta for six weeks at the house of one of my ex-Athens roommates while we waited for the Augusta station to sign on. I was like the Seattle Pilots in 1970, team trucks sitting in Provo, Utah not knowing whether to go to Seattle, Milwaukee or Devner....48 hours before Opening Day. 1993-94 Augusta, Georgia. Station owner was bi-polar, narcissist, wound up as James Brown's manager) Plus Alternative Rock in the Bible belt - not a great fit. We played Dear God by XTC once............once. 1994 Chapel Hill, North Carolina - Alternative station in a college town. Nobody tried it there. It was blowing up very quickly and it looked like finally I found my perfect spot, but.....station owner (nice guy), was way behind on his taxes. Station put into receivership and his religious nutjob son took over. He wasn't gonna go for that heathen new wave and grunge music, flipped it religious talk, it went dark in 3 months, yes an FM radio station actually went dark for almost a year). 1994-96 East Lansing (small station, alternative rock at it's peak. we just irritated all the other stations who were 10 years behind the times and got decent ratings. made no money, but had fun). 1996-97 Albuquerque, New Mexico Another alternative station was doing awesome, owner was great, but Clear Channel came in and offered him so much more than it was worth (about 5x it's value) that he had to sell it, can't blame him. They ruined the station. Every single decision they made was the opposite of what it needed to be, but that's Clear Channel for ya. 1997 - 2021 Back to Metro Detroit. Worked for 2 stations owned by ABC/DIsney. Almost fired for responding to the CEOs email about the 2002 Angels world series win (Disney owned them then). I asked if I could get a t-shirt. That's what almost got me fired. Nice company, eh? First GM was a totally nice man who prevented me from being fired over the dastardly deed of asking for a t-shirt. They replaced him in 2003 with a total dick from DC who treated everyone like garbage, so I bolted in 2004 for Ann Arbor. Still work at the Ann Arbor station. 17 years now. Longest job ever.

I've already stated clearly the criteria I prefer - it's allegiance to law as promulgated by a constitutional process over received religious doctrine. If a Muslim won't swear allegiance to the Constitution over the Koran honestly he should be excluded just as much as any Catholic or Evangelical or Hindu or Sikh or Bahia or Buddhist or anything else that doesn't take the oath honestly. If you recall, John Kennedy did actually make a promise to the public during his election campaign in that regard. have any of our current examples ever made a statement like this?

What did the five fangers say to the face?

Another close game against a superior team, on the road, with a pretty decent performance from the trash heap backup QB, and an average running game from the no name running back crew. I'm definitely coming around big time on Dan Campbell as the answer at head coach. He clearly has the skills (and the personality, duh) to make it in this league. Get this man some actual talent and lets see what he can do.

I realize now that bragging about my dinner last night might have come across as trolling. I'm sorry to anyone thus offended.

If you show some of these anti-vaxxer Trump supporters data and they don't understand what they are looking at it's almost futile to try and correct them or reexplain it to them in a different manner. They will think you are getting hostile and condescending towards them. From there, they will elicit any number of reactions and emotions from lashing out in anger or getting defensive or shutting completely. These individuals have shown they don't have a propensity to become inquisitive and start asking questions with an open mind to help them better understand the data and science they are looking at. this problem is further compounded when they see the person the admire most, Donald Trump, trafficking in lies, misinformation, and misunderstandings of his own. You don't even need to look at anti-vaxxers Trump supporters to see this type of response and behavior in action, look to Trump himself. His wild and crazy interview with Jonathan Swann of Axios, where he is talking about Covid highlighted this.

Huntley is the new Mike White and Mike White was the new Garner Minshew and Garner Minshew was the new Brock Osweiler and Brock Osweiler was the new Matt Flynn and Matt Flynn was the new Jeff Garcia and Jeff Garcia was the new Gus Ferotte and Gus Ferotte was the new Scott Mitchell and Scott Mitchell was the new Rodney Pete.

remember, it took a while before any one matched ARod's contract. Not every new contract set a new baseline. Correa's hoping Lindor is not ARod. Maybe he'll be right, maybe not.

This submarine commander has a pretty cool name.

Yes I think that the Tigers offered him what they think he is worth, and weren't influenced by his supposed desire to match Lindor.

Well. Certainly not helpful. But as long as you feel better about it. Wallow in it. ============ I’ll see you guys/gals in the new year. Stay happy and healthy. Mazel Tov.

This site is just a few months old, so the ignore function is unproven. I heard on a podcast that the ignore function infects compurers with malware. I am not going to let the government or anyone else tell me when I should use ignore.

Alex Jones got beat up by his wife: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2021/12/25/alex-jones-wife-arrested-domestic-violence-charge/9017411002/?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1640471151

If you or your business has the money to spend and are going to get a half or full season anyway, I understand it. Games played before June have the potential to be 50* or below, games played during and after June have the potential to be rainy and miserable when the sun goes down. Games with either won't do well on the resale market (though any of the included concerts will). You might as well have an enjoyable indoor experience at the ready. They used to have an All-You-Can-Eat Suite sold to the general public. I remember going with the family to Opening Day in 2010(?) in one of those. Probably closed it the next day after losing money to me and my dad.

I remember being knocked out by going to an Orioles game in a suite when I worked in Baltimore, picking up the food menu, and seeing a dozen crab cakes selling for $108. Not so bad, you might say? Well ... that was a quarter of a century ago, in 1996.

https://www.baseballrumors.me/2021/12/mlb-rumor-more-specifics-on-cubs-offer.html I'm beginning to think signing Correa would've been a huge mistake.

I am not a vegetarian but I used to walk over to the Grit all the time. Still there, still on Prince Ave?

I guess I could take down my Rule V banners, and put up Christmas decorations instead. Sigh.
