In celebration of Bo Jackson's awesomeness, the greatest play ever on a real football field

Most folks who heavily support 2A are unlike to support more funding for mental health issues. Much like those who are purportedly pro life are unlikely to support additional help for child care.

if williams were playing today he would likely be bigger and stronger and able to take advantage of all the advances that help today's hitters. he was a physical freak for his time with eyesight and reflexes so good he was a master fighter pilot tabbed to fight in TWO wars.

I didn't get to watch much, did they show more evidence of Antifa?

Still doesn't top this

True, after a bit more consideration you could compare Bannon to Gordon Liddy

Hershel couldn't hold Bo's jock. On or off the field.

Also the last 30 games Javy has a slash line of .261/.288/.513 which puts him just over that .800 OPS mark which given how the season started isn't all that bad and during that time has a wRC+ of 122. Yes his approach can be not the best but he has been quite valuable lately.

Yesterday I needed several ballots to go away. Now it looks as if they’re here to stay. I don’t believe in yesterdays

A four page thread on Dallas Keuchel...#ThanksChris #extendAl

To me when you judge players of any sport all you can do is judge how they did relative to their peers anything else is pure speculation.

Every washed up guy has a track record.

Speaking of Kinzinger, hell of a finishing statement. Same for Luria.

If this had succeeded… That must remain in the forefront of all responses to this. Trump regaining power means the end of this nation. He must be held accountable.

We all talk about his bad trades, drafts, signings etc. but not selling high on Boyd and Fulmer when he had the chance was a somewhat under the radar blunder that doesn't get talked about enough. We flat out admitted that we were in full rebuild and several years a way from contention so when you're that far a way there is zero reason to keep 2 starting pitchers with injury histories. The likelihood they would still be good when we were competing was extremely small so why not trade them for younger guys that match up better with your competitive timeline?

I am not going to rip on the guy because he's trying his best. He sounds a little forced, but when you hear someone else do Tigers Play-By-Play it makes you realize just how freaking good Dan Dickerson really is. Doug Fister on color commentary.............they've had better.

It’s about time he starts pulling his weight around here.

And then warned Hank about it so Hank would do the killing and save him the war. A lot of people online seem to think that Kim somehow sent Jeff the Cab Driver to find Saul. I think we'll find out Kim has joined NXIVM and somehow Gene finds out and saves her.

BYU, Clemson, and SC on the schedule makes it brutal. BC and UNC are wins but not total pushovers. Not the ideal schedule for a team without an established QB and lots of inexperienced talent on both sides of the ball.

I use them for small impulse purchases. Like today I noticed I was down to one bar of soap. I added a 12 pack to my cart. I also wanted som u shaped spikes to help secure an outdoor screen. Added that too. I have a stack of $25 credits from my employers health plan for being active so I paid $3 and they will come tomorrow. I’ve used them to buy teabags. My wife yells at me for it. But she will not get the right kind and I got a box of 500 of the English breakfast kind. She gets the shitty flavored ones. I’m home all day in the cold basement working so I go through 3 a day.

Giggity! I feel as good about this as anything. Build on it. Grind those wheels of justice.

so many ways this can turn depending on what each of the actors believes. You have Harbaugh, Manuel, Ono, and possibly individual regents who may be interested in meddling. Does Harbaugh want to be the martyr for the old traditions and not change until his program fails and he is fired? Will Ono bring some leadership from the president's office so the program gets some clarity on what the institution will and won't support? Will the athletic dept end up caught between and Admin and a block of regents that are either more or less conservative than one another? Stayed tuned for the latest installment of academic sports politics Michigan style.

Now subpoena Bannon again and hold him in contempt again if he refuses to testify.

Nice—really would like to see him salvage the balance of the season.

Lego are awesome

Fingers crossed that Bannon gets his commupance

The 1999 All Star Game when he was brought onto the field in a golf cart, and all the players surrounding him like they were little kids. That was also when Ted asked McGwire whether he could smell the smoke coming off the bat after a particularly good hit. Nice moment.

12 hours on, I still think the outtakes video where he couldn't say "yesterday" really sticks with me the most. It has nothing to with cognition and everything to do with making the statement as ambiguous as possible. Which is disgusting.

Speaking of Ted Williams, look where he's "buried" ...

and I think this is happening in a less formal way across the country at the local levels. The deranged lunatics have nothing else to do so they are running for local boards and councils.

Yikes!

Kinzinger from the top of the turnbuckle!

Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney are doing a great job leading the Committee hearings tonight in the absence of Benny Thompson.

Which also means he wasn't a full-time hitter until 1919, at the age of 24. So from 19-23, when he was in MLB, limited PA's... almost as if he lost the equivalent of 3-4 years, although he was obviously very young at the time... and the ball may very well have been a whole lot "deader" at the time anyways... still.

Just to clarify, I have zero concern about Miggy squeezing someone out of a roster spot. I simply don't want to see him or anybody at DH whose only skill is hitting soft singles the other way. If he was a young player who excelled at running the bases and fielding a position, and could leg out doubles, stolen bases and what-not, that would be something. The last time he added value to the team was 2016. He played out the string and hit his milestones. If they have the kind of roster where he's coming off the bench that's OK, but everyday at DH in the heart of the order is just a sign that the FO is failing at their basic job.

It's either Williams or Ruth. Williams edges him statistically, but it's hard for me to get away from the idea that Ruth completely transformed the game. Ruth is number one overall because he was also a very good pitcher.

man, matt boyd wasnt that good. we totally should have traded him while we had the chance. but avila didnt. because he is bad at his job.

Will say this for Fister... not charismatic or polished in the booth, but he's as sharp as Avila Jr. in terms of knowing the game.

We used to laugh about this years ago, the guy who plays center has to lead off and be a base-stealer.

The first 10 minutes or so of Lawrence O’Donnell’s show last night re:the head of the USSS was excellent. Find it if you have time.

I’ve always believed Miggy’s contract had a lot to do with Verlander being squeezed out. That in addition to that disastrous VMart contract. Hated it then and I hate it now.

When I left the Army the first time I started working for a military contractor. Once you do that you basically give up your rights as a U.S. Citizen during that time deployed (Uncle Sam will not extract if you are compromised). I had to take out life insurance on myself for war zone coverage. When I left that line of work I had to re-apply for CCW as a brand new applicant. They do check mental health through the VA as I was contacted during that time for a mental health eval.

MY OBITUARY FROM WEDNESDAY -- Diego was a Rescue dog. He rescued me on 9/11/07 and every day since. The last 3 days were absolutely brutal, and today was torture waiting for 5:30 to come. The vet was right on time. I wouldn't trade a thing, I got over 5,400 great days and only a handful of bad ones (he had a 3 day ban from the inside the house due to catching a skunk in 2008). He loved everyone. He hated fireworks (not scared, but angry). He hated the lawn mower (but only when I cut the grass, when (my tenant) Paulie would cut it he didn't care). Most of the people in my neighborhood knew his name, but not mine. He was an amazing ballplayer. He could catch tennis balls better than any dog I ever knew. In his younger days he could almost fly. Watching him jump over the back porch partition to go catch a ball was breathtaking. He loved playing goalie (foam balls, not shot hard). When we went for walks he did that border collie stalking thing where he got very low to the ground and walked very slowly towards his target (the dreaded evil being know as SQUIRREL). I loved watching him do that, that focus and concentration and intensity. He never caught one, thank goodness. The night I took him home - at some point he jumped into the bed with me. When I woke up and let one go (you know what I mean) - a loud one - it startled him so much he fell out of the bed (mattress & box springs on the floor, no harm). That was the first time he made me laugh. When I was at work during the day, he'd jump up in the bay window and lay there and watch the world, it was his version of TV. That's how the neighborhood got to know him. He was good friends with the mailman. His favorite words were SURPRISE LUNCH and WALK. and his least favorite words were SQUIRREL, RABBIT and HAIRCUT. I haven't traveled much in recent years so we rarely spent a night apart and he usually slept on the floor. In the morning when I would ask What Time Is It? it was his cue to lick my face until I got up. I have never had a dog who was so good about not doing his business in the house, even on his last day, when he could hardly walk, he held it for nearly two days and walked down his hill and did his business. He was so good about it that even when he passed he did not release any fluids (most dogs do). He loved fruit too, especially watermelon and cantaloupe. We had our own handshake sequence....."Give me five.......Other side.........Now up high." He loved to learn. He was my best friend, and not in the general sense of Man's Best Friend............He was literally my best friend. In his honor I will give another dog a great life in this house, which is not a home without a dog. Thanks for listening. This makes me feel better. ------TODAY, 6:40 PM ------ 2 days later still dealing with his ghost. Because whenever I get up from the back room where I mostly hang out I keep going to his room (yes, he had his own room) or the living room to check on him. When I grab a piece of flat bread to snack on I tear a couple small pieces off out of habit. When I cut up some fruit to eat I still put a few small pieces aside for him. It takes a minute to realize he's gone. This has hit me harder than my father's death did. I don't know why. Maybe because I had to schedule it and that just tears me up. Today I went back to work at the hospital (office) and I really needed to. A lot of busy work, new inventory to unpack, kits to put together, it was the kind of work that was good for me but I had to stop a couple times to compose myself, just odd little things come up and remind me. My bosses have been incredibly patient and supportive (women make better bosses in general). Today was the first time I came home from work to an empty house in almost 15 years. I know I'll start feeling better and when that next dog (or dogs) comes home I won't take a second for granted. I know, I'm going on and on about this but my girlfriend does not live with me so it's just me here.........at least for now, but not for long. I don't know how someone who loses a child can function after that, if a dog can do this to me.
