  1. There is actually a rule that players added to the 40 man over the offseason can't be optioned until 20 days before the season.
  2. Bold move by Shep being on Twitter...
  3. I had this thought, but the Eagles played 10ish games there a year including postseason and preseason as opposed to 81. I'm not sure this stuff is statistically significant. It would show up in other astroturfs, right? And three times the national average in such a small sample? Well I wouldn't jump to conclusions on that. Other possible causes I'd want ruled out: chewing tobacco, steroids/ped's/supplements, some chemical plant upwind from Veteran's field during the summers, etc...
  4. I enjoy.
  5. I'm planning to retire at 57, but who knows what happens in the next 20 years. Being late to the family game means I've been able to put extra away the past 5-10 years or so. Government pension too... When I crunched the numbers a couple months ago, it was feasible.
  6. LOL at Dingbat ranking Bligh Madris in the Tigers Top 30 two months after being traded. Poor poor BA is stuck with that mess, because she is pretty much unfireable now as long as she plays the C card.
  7. Wouldn't make much of a difference...
  8. FWIW, I assumed it was lab leak all along. China cooking up bioweapons just tracks...
  9. I have an egg head. Masks make my ears hurt because the strap tends to be pretty tights.
  10. Is there a more red herring than the origin of this thing?
  11. Who, though? Warner/Discovery is trying to get out of their RSN's. Disney had to sell what became Bally due to antitrust concerns... There aren't too many suiters out there, and the business model seems to be in decline.
  12. There are so many factors that it is tough to get a mathematical number on how effective things are. Good luck isolating variables, so that leads to bad faith actors twisting data how they want. Let's say you went out into public in 2020. Your chances of catching COVID were dependent upon... -Amount of people you came into contact with -How long you came into contact with those people -How close you were to those people -Whether those people were masked -Whether you were masked -Was it indoors or outdoors -What was the humidity/temperature indoors or outdoors -How strong is your immune system? -How was the ventilation? Good luck isolating all the variables you need, and that's only a fraction of them.
  13. I think people just don't understand exponential math. This is especially true when they rack up credit card debt, which our country is terrible at, but when you talk about a disease that spreads exponentially, something like mask wearing that can reduce spread a small amount really compounds once you get several potential disease hosts down the line.
  14. I was going to suggest that the answer to that was "He didn't have the extreme legislative majorities DeSantis does." But he did. Either way, Ronny D won't have 70-80% majorities in either house of Congress if he wins. Good luck railroading congress like he does the Florida Legislature.
  15. Was that DD's wife or daughter? I went to a pretty big school and would often have classes on different parts of campus ten minutes apart. Single entry queuing in the buildings when you have to book it a half mile just makes that impractical. Plus, somebody who wants to shoot things up will be able to do so regardless. Just snag the badge of a victim and get your access.
  16. I don't see how this solves anything aside from making it impossible to get to class on time.
  17. Warner Brothers-Discovery trying to get out of the RSN business now too. That's three more teams whose local media deal is up in the air.
  18. I dispute them being hotties, but I digress.
  19. Jacksonville... City Council is 14-5 Republican Majority. Every elected executive is a Republican, including the sheriff and district attorney. The one thing Florida kinda has going for it is the gun laws aren't batshit lax. That is likely to change in the upcoming legislative session, though, as the memory of the Parkland shooting has worn off with NRA help.
  20. This is something I just don't get, his fame.
  21. Tomorrow she's going to say that people should be required to draw and quarter troops, and that those people should be subject to search and seizure without a warrant when being tried for that crime, and that those people can self-incriminate themselves in court, found guilty without a jury, also sued without a jury, given a tortuous penalty by another state.
  22. How ironic is it that it is easier to watch a game out-of-market than in? I'm good for everything except Rays/Marlins.
  23. Growing up in western Ohio, all this talk of radio reminds me of why I hate the Red Wings. As a kid, WJR was the radio affiliate and the Tigers had priority unless the Red Wings were in the playoffs, and the Tigers got bumped to 800 (I forget the call signal), and I couldn't get their games. It's only natural to root against the team keeping me from listening to the Tigers.
  24. The replies to this tweet, I can't tell if they are serious, of people bemoaning the fact that Mize is injured this year (Not sure what they expected?)...
