  1. at first I thought he died...
  2. He's basically a televangelist/infomercial huckster that saw an opening in the political world through grievances. Scare people.
  3. because the show is not easily digested. It requires discipline by the viewer to invest. You can't watch it while playing on your phone or folding laundry. You could have a great 3 minute sequence of no dialogue, just brilliant camera shots and framing of Mike building a hidden compartment in his closet. That shit don't work for the Emmys.
  4. What season of Ozark did these Emmys apply to? I'm pretty sure BCS gets one more shot at the Emmys for the season that just concluded .
  5. I've been reading a book by the astronaut John Young and as the top Astronaut rep during Challenger you get the same feelings about the O Ring problem and later the problems with the tiles that doomed Columbia. Both of those were well known issues, and in the case of the tiles, caused a lot of panic very early on in the shuttle program. But you have too many hands in the pot and agendas. Engineering/Safety conflicting with public policy. I suspect what happens is you have 25 people CC'd on an email and if a question is asked everybody assumes someone else will take care of it.
  6. My guy called me yesterday.... not realizing I already renewed. and I have a feeling the backpack girl is not a customer but an employee because I'm pretty sure you can't take that into the stadium as a fan.
  7. Doyle Bramhall II was one of his guitarists. That guy is good. His dad played with the Vaughan brothers and wrote the song “life by the drop” specifically to Stevie.
  8. I got my flu shot last Wednesday and my shoulder was sore for a few days.
  9. I’m getting my bivalent Booster tomorrow at Walgreens. Lots of slots open for those interested
  10. CNN has some work to do in their quest to become Fox 2.0
  11. It’s not a problem for other leagues. They maximize viewers nationally. For every one you think they would lose on the east coast they would lose on the west.
  12. I don’t know of the timeline but there is a theory that the leak was intentional for promotional purposes. you are right. She was. Then it was decided to prove out that too much of a good thing is bad. Yes you have a nice butt and lips. Don’t need to artificially amplify them.
  13. I'm not a fan of banning it either for reasons we've gone over a million times. But it's not a hill I'd die on at this point. Like expanded playoffs they're going to do what they're going to do regardless of any integrity or philosophical issues. In 10 years there could be a mercy rule if they keep up the pace with non pitchers getting more opportunities on the mound. Think I'm crazy? You watch.
  14. I guess to much of that red meat he warned Taggert about.
  15. The HOF will defer to the player but they reserve the right to override it. No silly things like wade boggs and the Devil Rays.
  16. I've only seen one Kardashian video. Maybe it was two.... I don't know.
  17. This is supposedly Taggert and Rosewood on the set of the BHC IV movie.
  18. I don't care about them as people but I'm into all the pageantry. I like that kind of thing about anything. The longest wedding I ever went to was an Orthodox one and it was great.
  19. This was on CNN just now.... if George never has a child and Charlotte outlives him...
  20. I share the "play it safe" concerns. Even in non baseball activities the organization does that. They recently opened a starbucks on the groundfloor of the Fox. It replaced a restaurant. I'm thinking "There's a million of those....." They made a big deal about it a few years ago. I don't think it ever opened. Basically they have to make things safe and appealing to the gang from places like Novi. All the touristy stuff like Mom's Spaghetti and the Q Line.
