  1. Right - the question is did they already see the makings of a goalie there that happened to be big, or did they just draft a big kid who played in goal hoping he could turn into a goalie?
  2. Lance is almost 70, made $12M when that was still pretty good money. If he hasn't been foolish he should be past worrying about his future employment prospects.
  3. A year into his 2nd term, a President is already becoming a declining asset to the future hopefuls in his party. That's political truth that probably hasn't changed.
  4. Not sure any goalie has a particularly high floor - but I get the idea. 😉
  5. Well, depending on how you define confused. By my definition most of them have been confused from the very beginning, but if you want to take a narrower definition for this case, I guess you can say they are more confused now.
  6. Yup. Maybe it's just something that has always fallen to the older gen, or maybe boomers, who have always had so much brought to them on a silver platter are late to the party of real social responsibility, but there are a lot of good things in life that only exist because people are willing to pay for them for each other, and 'people' most definitely doesn't always mean the gov.
  7. but he has been a cultural icon in the culture that Red America is reactionary toward. In that sense, of course he doesn't influence red America.
  8. right. If he's with the team he probably has a clean uni, or at a team warm up jersey in the locker room to put on. But I'd guess - especially for a 1st timer, he probably only had one uni-with him, and he's not going to put that back on after pitching in it.
  9. And Stewart is exactly the kind of holier than thou lib that make Red America vote the way they do, so he could at least have made himself practically useful to the blue side, which he didn't.
  10. Welcome aboard Bert!
  11. You know it just struck me: Trump is the first AI President. When he doesn't know stuff, he just makes it up out of plausably related pieces! He is the man of his time!
  12. Life is hard. He's now got Lauren's plastic surgery bills to cover, and bigger boats just keep getting more expensive!
  13. just another dementia moment that will sail past the maga voter.
  14. I generally liked Costas as baseball broadcaster. Sure he was(is) a NY slappy, but he knew the game and had a lot of history in his head to draw from.
  15. Actually, if he's shopping the idea around instead of just doing it I would guess he's not sure of his ground and is trying to gauge how much push back he's likely to get.
  16. LOL - was it you that posted the old line about the market being able to stay irrational longer than an investor can stay solvent? Tends to apply to these guys I guess.
  17. I don't recall that he did either. I don't know if the two are exactly in parallel roles in the RW infosphere, but Rogan strikes me as at least close today to what Rush was then.
  18. true. Probably only inertia at the lower levels that still makes this difficult. At some point lower on the food chain where the work actually gets done (the docs written etc) it's probably still not 'secure' enough, in the sense of Trump loyalty. Russia didn't attain that level of bureaucratic subservience in one Presidential term. Lets hope the US can't either.
  19. Did Trump ever lose Rush in his 1st term the way he is losing Rogan now?
  20. if only there were someone, anyone, in the GOP Senate that could begin to fill Howard Baker's pretty small shoes.
  21. Maybe the Lightning draw a lot better?
  22. LOLMAGA. They used to say the one advantage of being truthful is that it's a lot easier to remember your story. Trump told the tale, now he has to come up with a retcon.
