  1. I heard an interview with Dick Cheyney (of all people) that mentioned that he'd be in favor of making it "illegal" to report poll results until I think he may have said the next day. I'm not sure about the next day, but you certainly could argue after the polls close out west.
  2. Or in a couple years and there are 32 teams.
  3. FWIW, HDCHDB said all the right things in the beginning about watching the league and adjusting his style, etc. He's either slipped back into his happy zone or feels that he can't play the way he wants to with the current roster.
  4. It's entirely possible that the Republican party internally doesn't want him to win either, and their news outlet is following orders, If you go in for such stuff. It's just a likely that the SOP for filming speeches is that camera angle, just like hockey has a standard angle they show the majority of games from.
  5. I had what I think was the flu in my early 30s and I did nothing but sleep and eat a little bit for a week straight. I was out of sorts for another two weeks afterward.
  6. STOP STOP, I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN MOM AND DAD FIGHT.
  7. Or Chicago Blackhawks.
  8. I thought they were adobo. I think the Reinhart negativity is nutmeg. Maybe he's distracted by an Old Bae or something.
  9. It only gets worse; I wish I has gone out and done more on the weekends when I was younger and carefree. That's my advice for the day. You're never going to look back and say, "man, I wish I stayed home and watched TV more when I was 25."
  10. And Matthews, right?
  11. Nicely done.
  12. Interesting, I was hoping for something that would work with any of the hardware I own. :) (thanks for the tip; maybe I can leverage that into something I can use on my Android phone) Hey, cool, Google turned up an RSS feed on the WGR site which my app (PLayer.FM) was able to pull in. I'm not sure I have another 1.5 hours a day to listen though. :(
  13. Is there a decent podcast for just the show? There was a WGR550 feed, but you ended up with a bunch of crap 1 and 2 minute clips in addition to the show.
  14. I think that's right; LV takes one player from each team. Presumably this means they'll have to take some prospects or whatnot to meet the roster limit. Unless the GM is going to try to take two NHL guys and later trade them for one player or pick.
  15. Yep, greed-based health insurance sucks.
  16. There's a question somewhere (in the Expansion thread, I think). In short, Bogo had a NMC or NTC in his Winnipeg contract. When a player is traded, the new club (the Sabres, in this case) has the option to honor it or ignore it. No one is sure if Bogo's was retained. If it is, he has to be protected.
  17. Slavery is a primary reason I have a hard time taking anyone who holds the founding fathers to be infallible seriously.
  18. This is a pretty good listen (or read, if you prefer the transcript) about the seeming move to "post-fact politics". That's the first segment; the rest is also interesting but not as on-topic. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/599/seriously The last part has this great quote from the President:
  19. I've only read the Castle, but I saw my unread copy of the Trial the other day while moving my bookshelf.
  20. Dude, I'm really craving some lobsta; make it a bucket of wings or I'm hanging up.
  21. I think there were perceived slights against Trump and some twitter sniping during the primaries. There's references around April about feuds and whatnot. http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-trump-megyn-kelly-women-20160517-snap-story.html
  22. Thought: Like Nolan was a coach stuck in the 90s in terms of style, HCHDDB is a coach stuck in the late 00s. The league seems to be shifting, and he's not keeping up. UNless this is some grand plan, which I put at "unlikely".
  23. I don't regret my bet in the least.
