Huh?

ETA: I see this was discussed. Hickenlooper is the only guy running for prez from a potential flip state

Debatable.

Who? Bullock? Guys who already lost stuff in Texas against not Ted Cruz?

I think that is probably more likely than being able to work with Mitch McConnell. So you’ve given up on taking over the senate?

They found him passed out drunk in the cargo hold of a FedEx plane? Is that it?

Freddie Mitchell had his own plane?

And didn't even source here.

"Don't forget, it used to be called global warming, that wasn't working, then it was called climate change, now its actually called extreme weather because with extreme weather you can't miss," the president said. He's not wrong on this, sadly, but he is still a dumb horsefeathering [expl...

I wonder how much of Kimbrel's contract we'll have to eat when we trade him next offseason in order to afford Russell's arb raise.

So is there a large enough sample size in the season to call these numbers suspicious? Yelich’s splits: Home: 17HR, .395 AVG, 1.092 SLG Away: 5 HR, .250 AVG, .464 SLG I looked into the splits for most of their starters and almost all actually have more homers and higher slugging on the road this se...

I hold almost as much contempt for those morons as I do Trump voters

Leo Gomez goes into that large, faceless pile of "people who played 3b at some point for the Cubs" with no differentiating traits. Honestly you could take any Hispanic-sounding male name and tell me they played 3b for the Cubs in the 80s or early 90s and my brain would say "oh yeah, ...

I most remember Trachsel from my first game at Wrigley Field. My dad was teaching me how to keep score. After Brian Hunter lead off the game with a double my dad turned to me and said, “Well, there goes the no hitter.” Only hit the Astros got that day. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/C...

Antenna talk almost convinced me to say horsefeathers it and stick w/ my 200/month cable. That's how little I want to deal with that nonsense. Unless you're looking for 1980s game shows and sitcoms that TVLand and Netflix don't bother with, I think you'll be alright. I'm sold on 50 bucks for YouTub...

what kind of speed should I be looking for with regards to internet for cord cutting? I want to say my building is locked into RCN. My cable bill is largely outrageous because of fees. How much over the top of advertised price should I expect with a live tv streamer(YouTube or Hulu look like best fi...

How intuitive is the live TV viewing, I.e vs guide for standard cable

+1

You don't know what's west of Westeros.

I like the Juwan Howard hire. Hopefully for them it has similar results to how the Penny Hardaway hire is looking for Memphis early on. I like the idea of a famous alumnus HC at his Alma mater. But then get sad when I think about that at IU. Our options are Steve Alford, Keith Smart, effing Dan Dak...

Definitely a show that's right up the alley of a lot of posters here.

Don't watch it and as I recall, the general consensus around here is that it's pretty terrible.

Oh, Derwood

watching sammy sofa act 2 cool for GoT is one of the most consistently baffling things on nsbb As I've said, sci-fi/fantasy shows usually just don't hook me. It's got nothing to do with me inexplicably trying to not like it, because that would be just be weird and pointless. Don’t you have 800 post...

Maybe after season 3.

Of horsefeathering course

People on here used to love them some Matt Taibbi

I don’t think Ben cares about whether he’d be useful to the Cubs right now
