  1. I would tell you to fuck off, but instead feel sorry for someone so bitter now that the shining light in your life in Colbert will be taken away. Sure you are all a tingle just waiting for whatever stinging retort Stephen comes up with for tonight to hurl at Trump.
  2. Personally, prefer reruns of Graham Norton. No politics and alcohol flowing.
  3. I say we start a pool, $10 entry fee, you have to pick the players and the order for the Astros batting lineup one game after the trade deadline. One qualifier is you have to get at least 5 of the 9 position players on the card and 5 of the 9 slots right in the batting order. Otherwise the money rolls over to the next game, etc... until we have a winner.
  4. That was the Ga Tech team that split a national title with Washington.
  5. But franchise prices are up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. One of the least tech savy areas in the country, right there wish SW Arkansas and the state of Mississippi.
  7. Which is another reason why the idea that post season play with a multi-team playoff system is flawed when you are using rankings and unbalanced conference schedules. How in the world do you accurately rank that team going into a season and those early season rankings can dramatically impact the end of year rankings.
  8. Was Joe referencing Paredes getting healthy or him traveling back from Seattle via bus since he was found wandering the streets of Seattle with a $20 and a note pinned to his collar saying "I can no longer take care of him, please make sure he gets on the bus to Houston".
  9. Damn right, because for most of America our choices for tv were ABC, CBS, NBC, maybe a PBS station depending upon where you lived, and 1-2 UHF stations depending upon where you lived. There are more variations of ESPN today than major networks when I grew up in Dallas during the time period you referenced and the networks weren't scrambling to fill timeslots with content. Seriously, what the FUCK else does ESPN have to show besides the WNBA on their multiple platforms? Axe throwing? Dodge ball? Old 30 for 30's and SEC Stories?
  10. For now, until one of the chosen decides even those scraps are too much to share with them. Pretty sure what we are seeing unfold was the plot line in something from Homer and Shakespeare.
  11. As opposed to his playing nice with Trump for the last several years? What is next, the hosts of the View tell us they are not holding back anymore on what they think about Trump? Colbert is more predictable and about as interesting as the Golden Bachelor without Frank Reynolds.
  12. Exactly, in a league bit upon offenses that isolate, kick out and fire away from the outside what defensive coach doesn't want a roster built on the ability to switch on almost any offensive player.
  13. As I asked, if CBS is really that worried about him and what he might say than why not just pull the plug now on the whole damn thing.
  14. The WNBA is not a fairly infant league, especially when you consider with the "help" of the NBA they had access to the media coverage from the jump. They are 29 years old and just now are getting to a point where they have growth potential. What are the players willing to give up to get a bigger piece of the pie? Seriously had this conversation before with a friend who is black and grew up in Alabama in the 60's. He remembers seeing people from the neighborhood getting the shit beat out of them for what they believed in and the friend laughs at the protestors of today. NFL, NBA, and MLB never got dogs turned loose on them, beaten, and sprayed with fire houses, but a number of those did walk on during a time they were having to work two jobs to make ends meet for their families. They need to be willing to go a bit beyond t-shirts and social media campaigns so walk the fuck out or shut up about not getting your cut.
  15. The argument for has always been to bring in the Metroplex, but in my mind that has been about as accurate as you bring in UH for the Houston market. Same thing historically has gone for SMU as well which brings us back to the uncomfortable truth this isn't about competition, the pageantry of college sports, rivalries and all that bull shit and cut to the chase it is simply about money and greed. The only question to me is how much longer until members of the SEC and the Big 1 0 start to turn on each other for bigger pieces of the pie because I have seen this story before and in the end the knives will come out.
  16. Ah yes, the belief that it was all about censorship. Colbert wishes he was the Smother's Brothers and if I remember correctly there was no delay on ending the show. Why not simply pull the plug on live shows and fill the time with reruns if CBS is so afraid of what he might say and the repercussions? Seriously, if you are getting less than 2M per show as reported how much more are you going to lose by switching to the best of for the remainder of the tenure.
  17. Someone, somewhere in this thread mentioned the bone in question was the hamate which makes sense from the perspective that surgery really won't repair the problem. I remember Griffey Jr. having a broken hamate and went to look up information on his issues and found an article talking about Jr. having the bone removed which also included this line in the story, "On May 26, 1995, Griffey fractured two bones in his left wrist while making a spectacular catch against the Kingdome’s right-center field wall. Griffey missed 73 games, but returned to play the rest of the season with a 4-inch metal plate and seven screws attached to his wrist." Not wanting to go angry old man who talks about back in my day players didn't take days off and we don't know the full details, but when I read the comments from Alvarez etc...and am reminded that AFTER returning from surgery with a FUCKING plate in this left wrist he hit over 200 HR's in his next 4 seasons for Seattle, wtf is going on with Alvarez and I don't believe it is all the Astros medical staff.
  18. Which as ChickenSandwich points out, says more about the state of television and that time slot that the individual show. All three are now merely place holders and I am curious if local stations could opt out of network agreements if they would make more money running localized programming than those three shows.
  19. If a show gets cancelled and no one is watching does it make a noise or does anyone give a shit?
  20. What the hell does this even mean? Where this is pain is an area that is difficult to have surgery so I need a little bit of rest, but you have been fucking resting for two months? My favorite comments is "But I think it isn't something I'll have to keep dealing with". You aren't dealing with it right now because if you were you would be playing, instead we get yet a little bit more of rest.
  21. Ole' Sarge obviously never makes leg day in the gym.
  22. How the fuck is this even possible? Seriously you can't book a ticket from Seattle to Houston?
  23. Hmmmm...."Smith said that coaches with the Cowboys have expressed that Blue is “borderline lazy” and that the team is not thrilled with his work habits." Add in a comment or two about interfering family members telling Blue he needs to look out for himself and this could be his junior year at Klein Cain all over again.
  24. Having spent time in Lubbock and Ft. Worth that reasoning sounds perfectly logical to me.
  25. Don't think NBA, MLB, or NFL players received a penny of the expansion fees paid when their leagues added teams, but could be wrong on that. Isn't that the advantage of actually owning the business versus being an employee of the business?
