Ken Griffey is pretty bad ass. I went to Auburn, big Frank is the truth too.

It's those damn white men again

Thanks for posting this. I had similar thoughts but just on my phone so hard for me to type that out. The models of states like Florida and Texas and what their infrastructure with lower taxes should be the envy of everyone.

It shortened the lines maybe a bit for me. Ours is always overflowing in the drive thru and sometimes hard to find a seat inside. Chick Fil A is hurting so badly that they can develop property for a new site, and then sell that property back to investors with a lease cap rate of what amounts to the rate of a government bond. So they are essentially making money by simply opening a store and branding it, then doing a leaseback.

We have to have liability by state law. I had an 8 year old Camry at that time. It wasn't worth comprehensive coverage and I had decided if I'm at fault I'll pay for my own situation but the lady who ran the light in her Avalanche had the same insurance company I did. They were only too happy to claim they couldn't determine for sure what happened so it was "no fault" and they therefore didn't have to pay me. The photos of my passenger side door caved in from the T-boning wasn't enough apparently.

Let's not break out the brown paper bags too soon, he won on round one.

Insurance companies are all pretty much the drizzling craps right off the bat. If you ever want to have a major life regret, let one of their financial people get your contact information if they think you have money to invest. They have all sorts of horrid products they want to sell you. I made the mistake of doing a favor for a friend who had a relative who needed what he thought was a call as an intern, just to help him out. I was just going to spend a few minutes with him, listening to him, give feedback, etc. Turns out the guy was already hired, his boss was on the call, and that good deed has led to about a year's worth of harassment from them wanting me to meet, get on calls with them, etc. I'd boycott the whole industry if I could. I had them deem an auto accident "no fault" when a woman ran a red light and totaled an old car of mine. Lost my car in the process. Got enough from the scrap yard to pay the tow and storage until they released the car is about it.

If you find that funny, you'll find this hilarious https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/dancingboys/transcript/?

Free speech is fine, if you're an American. But we can choose who we bring here, if anyone in that crowd isn't an American then they should go. Those type sentiments are dangerous and we should be more selective about who we allow inside our borders.

I'm kind of tired of not wanting to hurt people's feelings when they support and in some cases conspire with people who want to kill innocent Americans. If they want to meet God sooner, I'm all for helping them. Maybe we could both get what we want. At the very least, we should send them on a one way flight to live with those wonderful folks they support.

I'd love to see Homan's guys turned loose on that bunch

That false start saved Texas. They were prepared for that blitz on 4th down. Great protection.

I got the thread wrong just like they missed the spot

Enjoying all the Twitter slap fights over whether the game should be moved to tomorrow

We have VC money getting involved in college football due to NIL ending the cash cow margins football was providing. Yet we have part time weekend warrior officials who are going to be selling a car policy on Monday morning deciding these games. Officiating all year has been inconsistent at best.

I don't think I've eaten at a McDonalds in about 25 years

Tom Homan is the man

My guess is it would be a reflex if someone woke up in that kind of pain to stand and try to move away from whatever was causing it. I don't know how true some of the reports are but have read people who said the body's tendons/muscles lock up when in that type of trauma so that's why she was locked in that standing position.

I've long believed that we are better off with Assad in charge than the alternative. He's a bad guy, we may not like him, but it's him or the alternative. Well, we don't get to choose the alternative. It may end up being religious fanatics rather than a self interested dictator that you can deal with and deter knowing he is most interested in self preservation.

Why would you want to ban the shift? Banning it merely rewards the current 3 outcome plate appearance. It helps take pure hitting out of the game, learning to go the other way, etc. If a hitter refuses to adjust, he should have to make the choice of hitting into that type alignment or adjust his swing. Everything has changed to launch angle versus going with the pitch, taking a ball the other way, etc. Arraez is a joy to watch for someone who enjoys watching a pure hitter, but those guys are few and far between in the modern game. I already see 90% of the players being straight pull, launch angle type players.

Some people like In-N-Out better than Ruth's Chris as well. But them stating it as fact doesn't change that it's just an opinion. Personally I think the death of the old NL brand of baseball where pitchers spots in the order had to be accounted for while managing your bench and bullpens was a travesty. But to each his own.

Manfred is a joke. He also carries around with him a larger security detail than a sitting President. He's pretty impressed with himself.

If you didn't know this was coming you may have also been surprised that the sun came up this morning. I'll raise my hand and say that in his spot I'd have done it too. But it was foolish to believe he wasn't going to do it. I don't care what he said earlier about not doing it. Anyone should have known that was a lie.

It's Wagner's last year of eligibility. He's been steadily building support so I think he gets in this year but this is his last shot from the writers.

The predominant thought around the parks at that time was for sure Bagwell did. There were a lot of other guys too, but it's foolish for anyone to think the guys voted in were all clean. My personal belief is that you are probably right on the three you mentioned and I'd add Piazza as well to that suspicion. There's no way to know, so it's useless. But the sport looked the other way at the time due to the money. ARod, Bonds, Clemens, etc don't flourish without tacit approval from the teams and MLB. They were the dominant players of their era. I feel they should be in and if there's any shame on it, it should be on MLB. Bonds and Clemens were likely HOF caliber before those mid-90s years.
