  1. btw, i dont think cossa is anywhere close to detroit. he's still a giraffe om skates out there. he needs another year in juniors before the ahl, and then will likely be in the ahl for at least another year. maybe two.
  2. its smart business not to spend now on long term deals, but its still a little disappointing.
  3. what's the bright spots in the minors this year? wenceel, carpenter. anyone else? is parker a bright spot? some of the pitchers?
  4. lol. you can use my name and dont have to refer to me as "the people." i prefer "emperor" if you must use a title.
  5. i doubt 330 million will be in the militia.
  6. well, the opinion does say that states may regulate all kinds of firearms and the decision is not a blank check to allow people to buy things like bazookas. in fact, there have been decisions post heller that allowed regulations forbidding the sale or ownership of some firearms (a decision that came out of...wait for it....highland park, illinois). i still think heller and its progeny are a real stretch. they go through a lot of hoops to justify their opinion that the 2A means that you have a right to self defense with a gun. that said, i do think the original meaning was that the government shouldnt be allowed to confiscate people's personal guns. but as you always say, that was a much different world than we live in now. i think the results of this decision are being overblown a bit, but i definitely disagree with it and if we lived in a functioning governmental world (and had a more trusting populace) the 2A would be amended to clarify what the majority of the population actually wants.
  7. "well regulated" in the 18th century meant "well organized," it did not refer to government oversight of the militia. that shouldnt stop the government's ability to regulate the sale and distribution of firearms, imo, but the "well regulated militia" thing is really overplayed by a lot of people when they interpret the meaning of the amendment. just my .02.
  8. only 11 killed and 62 wounded this weekend in chicago! sounds bad? that's cause it is bad. but its down from the carnage of the last two years so the usual suspects will say its ok and a sign of progress and not a reflection on their policies. after all, at least were not highland park bad!
  9. suspect is a rapper whose dad once ran for mayor of highland park? if you had that in "shooter bingo" raise your hand.
  10. hey, if it were up to me, i would re-write the constitution and get rid of the second amendment altogether. i hate guns. ban em. that said, its in there. and its written in an 18th century sort of way that makes it difficult to discern what it means.
  11. columbine? sandy hook? shit happens everywhere, man. fortunately it looks like it will rain tonight which should keep the usual killings down this year. last year there were 23 killed. the year before 21. so far this year? only 10...but the night is still young.
  12. lol, if there was a black dude at a highland park parade they would have found him pretty quickly cause he would be the only one there! skinny white guy with long black hair. the description of 1/2 of highland park (and probably half this message board except for the word "skinny"...)
  13. cal-gary cant be that expensive!
  14. depends on what you get in return, i guess. if only theo were still running a team. that dude will trade his whole farm system for a loogy on a hot streak. ah theo, the only gm who could lead yhe red sox and cubs to the playoffs AND get fleeced in a trade by al avila.
  15. have you thought about moving?
  16. gsw is the best team in the league and the only thing stopping them is if steph gets injured. draymond is going to be an albatross soon and who knows if klay can ever return to be a splash bro again, but they know how to run a team. i have no idea why they would break up that core to bring in a diva like durant. i cant see them doing it. i hope they dont do it. let durant rot in the mess he made in brooklyn.
  17. this is what happens when you let the inmates run the asylum. players' feelings are fickle. you need to run a solid franchise and draft and develop good players and good people, not turn your team over to mercenaries like kyrie, kd, and harden. fuck the nets. this is hilarious to watch.
  18. pffft....that guy's been terrible this year!
  19. whoa, good thing we didnt draft keegan murray! he's terrible! lol.
  20. starting the 4th of july drinking early this year.
  21. i was told they were making great progress. is this great progress?
  22. meh. that's why no one signed rick porcello. 😉 cause those guys arent worth spending big money on. innings eaters are readily available.
  23. dime a dozen.
