    You mean like the non-existent Astros and Texans threads when they were terrible?. I believe an entire Texans season thread had less replies than any given Cowboys single game thread. Now look at the threads for both of those teams. And look at Rockets threads now compared to when they made their runs last decade.

    Plus, the Mavs and Stars are both in the Western Conference Finals.

    It's not your fault.

    I’m still not past that angels series. We should have at least won that series and very easily could have swept in which case, we’d be tied with the Rangers right now. And as a kicker, get an off day to let it simmer.

     

    brutal when you’re scratching and clawing to make up for that brutal April 

    Our division is wretched.

    So we have that going for us.

    Which is nice.

    This is something I've really grappled with over the last year or two.

    I think there's a desire to create simple "good" and "bad" labels for everyone and it's just not that simple.

    I have friends who would drop everything at a moment's notice to help me, no questions asked.  They are generous, donate to charities, and are raising what seem to be solid, well-adjusted children.  They are also almost assuredly voting for Trump.  Does this make them "bad?"

    My parents would give up their lives in a second for those that they love.  The household we grew up in was full of warmth and love and is the example I am trying to replicate for my family.  They are also almost assuredly voting for Trump.  Does this make them "bad?"

    I have brilliant co-workers who are phenomenal at building up a team, always make sure to share credit, and thrive in a culturally diverse work environment.  They are also almost assuredly voting for Trump.  Does this make them "bad?"

    Meanwhile, I know plenty of rude, self-centered Biden-voters who couldn't care less about those around them and take no responsibility for their actions.  Just because they pull the same lever as me in November, does that make them "good?"

    The closest rationalization I've been able to conclude is that some people are able to treat politics kind of like sports.  There's a team they root for and they'll continue to root for that team, regardless of the players involved.  I obviously don't agree with this and wish they saw what I see, but simply labeling all Trump voters as bad people oversimplifies the issue to a degree that ensures it will never get fixed.

    But... on the other hand, how can a "good" person look at Trump and not be immediately repulsed?  Even given what I said in the paragraph above, this still seems unbelievable to me.

    I don't have a solution, just a rant from someone who has struggled with this since he realized that the list of people who my wife and I would trust to raise our children if something happened to us is almost exclusively comprised of (likely?) Trump voters.

    What if we replace "bad" with "idoit" -  does that work?

    How so?

    Goods cost more and incomes haven't kept up.

    Layoffs headline every business section.

    Interest rates are higher than they were four years ago.

    Homes are expensive and in short supply.

    Those are the headlines. Why shouldn’t people believe the economy is bad, even though it’s erroneous?

    It would help tremendously if the liberal media would stop with the erroneous headlines.

    Will this play by play guy shut up about us playing to be a host. I know your producer hammered that home in the pregame meeting but it isn’t true.

    So just to be clear, it's completely off the table if we somehow win this tournament?
