  1. And the chess master
  2. Speaking of the former losing guy....
  3. He'll change his mind after talking to Donald tonight...
  4. Looking at the PFF mock. Quick question, what is it about Skye Moore that makes him a first or second round option at WR? I don't follow the MAC.
  5. I mentioned somewhere yesterday that I've begun reading the latest book on Watergate. The Pentagon Papers were probably the opening salvo for Nixon's downfall even though there was no mention of him in the report.
  6. LBJ's Civil Rights Act began the exodus of Dixiecrats to the GOP, sewing the seeds of what the party has become. McGovern's nomination in '72 pretty much sealed the deal.
  7. From the article...
  8. My wife just sent this from her "office"
  9. I stumbled across this a couple years ago. Good documentary, interesting cast of characters. The google machine found this.. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/07/portland-mavericks-kurt-russell-mlb-documentary
  10. Hit ''em where it hurts...
  11. NFL, XFL partnership. Focusing on rules and safety isues... https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/xfl-announces-collaboration-agreement-nfl Looks like it could be a smart move, at least in principle
  12. Since Schlapp has declared he is not a conservative I assume that group are Putinists.
  13. History is hard. Especially if it's ancient history.
  14. I also think it says something that they left out Teddy Roosevelt, McKinley and Ford but kept Nixon and Collidge
  15. My wife spent most of last week in Detroit (wonderful timing with the weather). She had a late flight out Saturday. I guess something was happening on 275 Saturday afternoon and she had a ton of time so she opted to take Merriman to the airport. She says her rental car probably needs a realignment after that adventure.
  16. Ted is quite round and becoming moreso
  17. BTW, I'm just starting to read the new book on Watergate by Garrett Graff. My wife says its good. Graff goes a bit on the notion that part of Felt's motivation for being Deep Throat was that he was unhappy that he wasn't chosen to succeed Hoover at the FBI
  18. Stay classy Trumpublicans....
  19. Forget the pitcher, just give these wussies a tee...
  20. Just an innocent bystander, somehow he got stuck between a rock and a hard place Send lawyers, guns and money
  21. Not really, the teams aspect was a small portion of her overall responsibilities. It was more like making sure the trains ran on time.
  22. I've been diagnosed with ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease). We suspect I've had it for a while. They've prescribed Cofev. Medicare doesn't pay until I meet the deductible. Then it pays something like 75% Since it's considered experimental, out of pocket is still fairly steep.
  23. I worked for Metro Traffic for several years. When they came into the markets they would make agreements with stations where they would take over payment for certain employees who would still broadcast on stations. The stations would turn over a certain number of minutes of commercial time to sell to clients. Since you still represented the station you were on you were still loyal to the station. The broadcast teams work similarly. They're probably effectively paid by the station but work for the team. A bit of disclosure, when we first came to Detroit my wife's position included supervision of the Tigers and Wings (and Lions) broadcasts. It was primarily the go between between the station and the teams. She did that as well with the Bears the last couple of years we were in Chicago. (She hates sports)
