  1. There was also something about a chair. Rod had back issues and there was a chair that was better for him. Mario took the chair and Rod got mad. They had an altercation in the hallway. That said.... their broadcasts were miles ahead of what we have today. Mario was a pro. he could step into any job in any sport and do a fine job. The best broadcasters for TV are the ones you don't even notice.
  2. I think his time with Team Canada shows there's very few people he doesn't know. I'm excited for the pick and have trust that he'll do the right thing. It will be a guy most "hockeytown" fans have never heard of but real hockey fans will know.
  3. Saw Doctor Strange. Liked it a lot. Very minor spoiler….. it was as much a scarlet witch movie. Not a bad thing. But I’d say the ratio was 60/40.
  4. The intent is to make things appear messy and confusing and then the legislature will try to step in and cast their slate instead. Then we are at the mercy of judges for democracy.
  5. Republicans have a lot more wiggle room due to gerrymandering and the nature of the senate. They will always have 45-47 % of the legislative and governors. They could be actual Nazis, with swastikas and all, and still have that.
  6. The Bible is not a scientific source. It should not be the basis for any US law, let alone one concerning both biology and bodily autonomy.
  7. defining music genres is tough. Take R&B. Rhythm and Blues. When I think Rhythm and Blues I picture heavy on guitars, some piano, maybe horns... with a.. ahem, blues tint to it. The most mainstream I can think of would be Stevie Ray Vaughan.... or going back some of the Stax stuff, or even the Paul Shaeffer Band on Letterman. But the acronym R&B is definitely not that. Not saying it's no good but to me R&B is your softer black voices. Different audiences. In the country music PBS doc you saw the difficulty in the 60s on people like Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Kristofferson... country? Folk?
  8. As usual Lynn offering up something and wording it in a confusing way. Not doubting there's an opt out. But who defines not living up to expectations? Why not just say "He has an opt out if he's unhappy" because that's why he'd opt out, however you define the reason.
  9. To be fair he "won" because there was no way he could lose. 3 people for 3 seats.
  10. They have a lot across the street.
  11. I never heard of an opt out based on a reason because how do you define that? It's reported he has an opt out. He can opt out because he doesn't believe in ownership or he can opt out because he misses Houston and wants to live there full time and will work at Lowe's or dive a school bus if he has to.
  12. nothing wrong with what he said.
  13. For many women it will be their first Mother's Day mass since 2019. Some will be going to their first one without their mom. They won't be thinking about politics. It's not about the church hierarchy. A lot of parishoners actually disagree with the Church's stance on contraception and abortion. These protests will do nothing for the cause but simply serve as an outlet for the protesters. If the goal is change then this isn't the way. if the goal is to bitch and complain... have at it. You'll end up right where you are now with no movement forward. That's how we ended up with Trump because the extreme left is not happy unless they get 100% of what hey want. If they can't then they stay home and will whine later on.
  14. some group is urging people to protest catholic churches on Mother's Day. Completely stupid idea and you'll lose a lot of goodwill. Typical of the extreme left. Probably the same ones who came up with the Defund Police slogan.
  15. There was one I saw a few months ago that covered a Texas college's baseball program during a practice. They timed it perfectly with pitches and hitting.
  16. I don't think we'll ever see another constitutional amendment passed.
  17. a few weeks ago I got on a Hornsby kick because of End of Innocence.
  18. A constitutional amendment
  19. someone I know tried to play the "the fetus is it's own body" argument and I didn't want to wade into it but my question is where then is the line from one body to the other? Nature/Bioilogy/Evolution/God made the fetus dependent upon the female's body. Women don't ley eggs. Until birth women have autonomy. "That's the way God wanted it" which should sound familiar to the Christian Taliban.
  20. I can't tell if this is serious or not
  21. can't do that because they're the breadwinner or something. It was probably the woman's fault anyway. Erections and Ejaculations don't happen by themselves.
