  1. There's tons of good, often great, content out there on Twitter from all sorts of everyday people. And there's tons of terrible, even soul-crushing, content out there on Twitter from several types of everyday people. It's a bit of a trick sifting the wheat from the chaff (sp?).
  2. No doubt: Falcons are a huge test. And I gotta say: I’m cautiously optimistic.
  3. There’s the D Lo we know and ... know.
  4. I have come to believe quite firmly that engaging with POTUS on these matters only serves to feed into what POTUS is trying to accomplish.
  5. I can understand having an issue with signing a guy who's arguably a total plug. Defending D-Lo, though? That is madness. Holy moly - that is exactly it. Exactly.
  6. Per CBS: Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino was placed on unpaid leave by the university on Wednesday in a move that means the Hall-of-Fame coach has been "effectively fired" his attorney told the Louisville Courier-Journal. .... A source told CBS Sports' Gary Parrish that Louisville has no intention of ever allowing Pitino to coach the Cardinals again.
  7. I haven't seen much preseason action, but I've followed along on Twitter with people like Kris Baker and similar pundit types. On two occasions, maybe even in different games, I can recall a Tweet and subsequent replies about how D-Lo's play was a mystery right now. Basically, Baker's content indicated that D-Lo was exhibiting neither the energy nor physicality that he needed to show in order to be useful to an NHL team.
  8. That might be "damning with faint praise" on a whole new level. If rostered, D-Lo would arguably be the worst skater in the NHL.
  9. Return of the pedantic semantic? If it's leave as of now, then I'd guess it's an involuntary unpaid leave in contemplation of terminating him. There's probably a contractual provision that makes it more cost-effective for the school to place him on leave and then s-can him after a certain period of time elapses.
  10. Rick Pitino's been fired as a result of the investigation, allegations.
  11. I should like to hear reports of the team looking lively and entertaining. We should ... like that. /bad Queen of England impersonation voice.
  12. More of the same from GM TM - the guy loves the LAK organization and its talent pool. .... Oh. Right.
  13. Do recall that, of course. Wasn’t sure what the connection was to cheese.
  14. Hahaha. ... What?
  15. This is all more than fair. Fair, and agreed. The way in which he chose to respond to such a difficult chapter in his family's life is quite admirable. So, Komen's a scam, or close to it?
  16. Just received an email urging me to buy single game tix for the home opener, which is next week. I know that there's some optimism among the hardcore faithful (like, here), but if they're not selling out a home opener against MTL, I wonder what that means for their overall ticket sale performance.
  17. And as for Swiss. Melted? Gimme gimme. Raw? Blechk. Too stinky in the nose for a sandwich.
  18. I generally ask my cheese-monger whether the rind of a particular cheese should be eaten. With most bries, the answer is always "yes."
  19. Huh? No shame in the game when it comes to cheese(s). Every now and then, we'll go bonkers with brie and prepare it more or less thusly: Slowly cooked on a low flame in a cast iron skillet with about 1/2-3/4 of a stick of melted butter into it. Once it's good and gooey, we remove and then add a small jar of our homemade preserves over the top. Then break out a bagette (sp?), and ... oh, God. So good.
