    Well, then fuck Bernie for not beating her and fuck all the other GOP candidates for not beating Trump.

    How about the DNC for smuggling her debate questions in advance?  Does that reach the elevel of election meddling?

    No one said there aren't bad politicians on both sides of the aisle. You miss the whole point. This country became great because it tried to live up to a set of standards and ideals that separated it from every other country on the planet. Did the people of the country always live up to that standard? Of course not. There are bad people everywhere, but at least this country would try to root out corruption, oppression, bad government acts, etc. and aspire to a high moral standard. That is rapidly washing away, led by the orange cheeto.

    In your mind you can back Hilary and condemn Trump for much less, maybe.  Not with me.  Regardless, with such a non-partisan devotion to American standards you cannot oppose Trump's investigation into who failed to meet the standard. I've heard: sunlight is the best disinfectant.

    D+.  You should have gone with 'it's just this war and that lying son of a bitch Johnson'.  Sure, it has nothing to do with Dbeasy's points, but unlike your BUT HER EMAILS post, it would have at least been a factually correct complaint about Democrats.

    So your going with B, it was fake news?

    My guess is that most Republicans don’t actually realize how badly their party is acting because they’ve deluded themselves into believing it’s all fake news and/or “everybody does this stuff”. It’s pathetic. It amazes me that people can’t filter through the truly biased media information to see enough real facts to know how terribly the party is acting. If you just focused on Trump’s twitter account and basic verifiable facts you’d realize the party is shit right now.

    Does everyone acid wash hard drives or was that fake news?

    I want ESPN to cover sports and do in depth nerd analysis like they did back in the 1990s, all while not taking themselves too seriously. Then they started thinking they were hot shit and they were the story instead of the sports being the story.

    And they can say whatever they want about Donald Trump or whomever on Twitter I just don't want that shit in my sports coverage.

    I mean I barely care what political pundits have to say about to say about politics, much less sports ones.

    To all the nostalgic people who blame ESPN for losing their soul, do you really believe the 90s model works in an era where people can check scores and get highlights immediately?

    I would watch SC highlights not knowing who won the game back then. I had to watch in the morning before school to find out if my team won the night before. Hell, I would wait around for ESPNEWS to get to my teams' highlights and get pissed if they didn't get enough attention. They had a monopoly.

    This isn't complicated. The only product they offer in high demand and low supply are their live rights.  A Twitter account, a few podcast subscriptions, and YouTube videos cover the rest.

    With however many channels + streaming they could quarantine the strategy talk in one place and Athlete 90210 in another.

    It's a pity that they seemed to be doing impersonations rather than acting. 

    Hard not to with iconic characters. 

    (And still would Tomei) 

    That's the rub.  The original cast was becoming their characters and off of each other. This was just an imitation game.

    Been a while since I’ve seen the Voyager finale. Was that the one where they wormhole their way home whole being chased by the Borg? Don’t recall it being that bad .

     

    No one remembers anything beyond that and overplaying the Angry Granny Janeway card.  IMO TNG was the only good Trek finale; but the GOAT series finale.

    They never were below D1. They were what is today FCS. Tons of FBS equivalent schools have actually lost to FCS schools since then so chill. It is not like we were top 10 like Michigan was in 2007 when they lost to a FCS school. I mean Kansas loses to FCS schools practically every year.

     

    It didn't happen much up North because it wasn't possible.  Michigan (and for that matter the 'neighbors') for the longest time would not even schedule Eastern Michigan et al, much less a D1-aa/FCS school.  No games = no upsets.  The sport media by and large didn't follow the South and was barely aware of the long tradition that some lower division schools have.  One time Toledo beat Pitt and the papers acted like history had been made.

    Yeah but it's important to also note that Michigan can go fuck themselves. Really isn't said enough.

    Sure

    Right on about ALF.  It ended on a really dark note. Last we saw, he'd been caught by the government and was likely going to be dissected.  Willie just stood there like an idiot.

     

     

    It got darker when I learned that the producer had the cast blacklisted for standing up to him. 

     

    in re: Lost.  The actual last episode made sense with the show, which by their final season had lost its steam and audience.  So there was nothing wrong with the finale that wasn't already wrong with the show.  I suspect the same will go for the Simpsons if they will or already have had a finale.

    at this point it is hard to say what incident is worse

    Penn State will always look horrible because it was young boys, but Michigan State was young girls and the large number of them.....tOSU is college age guys it sounds like, but still seems like a large number

    and all 3 were overlooked with many people looking the other way while it kept happening

    A lawyer might say Ohio is the most liable because the chain of event is so straightforward: a member of their faculty, abused the students in his charge, in his official university capacity as health center and wrestling team physician.  It's the identity of the victims that simply do not trigger the same level of outrage as did Nassar or the unspeakable desire of Sandusky.

    How do you get away with sexually abusing young college age wrestlers for years?  Maybe a few times but when you pick the wrong guy you probably get the suplex or get dropped through a folding table. 

    How does anyone, especially college aged, know what is or isn't a legitimate medical exam?

    I think we can dispense with recruiting the El Paso area.

    The hypothetical Ohio kid, if we want him, is not going to be impressed by us playing a game in the state of Ohio unless it's against Ohio State. There is no realistic scenario where we are neck-and-neck with other bluechip programs for a kid and he picks us and says "in the end, it was the fact that Texas plays at Toledo in 2042 that just gave them some slight edge over Alabama and Ohio State". 

    How many of you WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP remember the opponent for the 2005 and 2009 season openers? Are you sure you don't have them backwards? And was there anything special about those opponents whatsoever? 

    I never understood that as a recruiting pitch.  and to open your junior year we'll go back to your home state so your former friends will boo the hell out of you as the traitor who thought yourself above them.

    I think there is a lot right in this.   They knew TrumpCo was playing loose with Russia and currying interference but they had to walk a thin line.  And yes, they were assuming Hillary would win, which 2+ MILLION people voted for her over Drumpf, but the EC broke for the Dotard.  

    If Hillary had won, none of the begging Russia for help would’ve mattered, because it wasn’t effective.  It was still super dirty pool, as dirty or dirtier than anything the Hillary hate cult espouses about her.  But at the end of the day Trump would be an after thought, with no reason to dig into further unless you are the left version of Gym Jordan.

    The most maddening about people who STILL support trump and do it mostly because they hat Hillary is this.   So you hate Hillary becaus things like the “Clinton Foundation” and “White Water” and EMAILS! and so on....

    How fucking blind do you have to be to think DONALD TRUMP is above those things or hasn’t been proven to have done worse.  You are an absolute dipshit of the highest aggy order if you think the fucking bone spur fake millionaire is any less corrupt than Hillary.  

    AGGY loves trump.  At what point do you start questioning that.   It’s fine to hate both, but why in the world are you people still carrying water for the exact thing you “claim” to hate?  Other than you are all closet aggy…

    Hey we partially agree.  Trump was as happy to hear the Russian spin as Hilary was to pay for it. But for a few brave voters in Wisconsin and Pennsylvannia we would never know the Obama administration was spying on Trump.  Right minded individuals dismissed it as one of Trump's ramblings, until it was true. 

     

    I don't actually think Trump is above the crimes known to the Clinton machine (I haven't heard if Trump ever destroyed a hard drive or blamed his casualties on a youtube video, but I wouldn't be that surprised). I don't even remember Trump pretending to be Mr Virtue. But I do know that Trump is fighting for me and every other regular guy in America.  And no one believes Hilary would lift a finger for anyone other than herself.
