  1. I had said maybe last year that I didn’t really like playing my tele (squire). Since I got this Fender Japan Tele it’s all I play. It has a great neck profile and sounds amazing.

    I had also mentioned I was having some problems with certain chords (mostly barre chords) and with this neck I seem to have way less problems. I have increased speed of things like Bm to F pretty dramatically.

    It also seems to weigh less even though there is no comfort cut(s).

  2. As best I can figure the 76ers are angling for cap space next off-season. It is why they have not yet extended their 2nd best player in Maxey even though he will get a max extension next summer. I feel like there is a good chance Harden is still there opening night.

    The free agent class sucks next year, like really bad.
  3. This shit is so common that 2 dead and 28 injured in Baltimore doesn't even raise an eyebrow around here.

    Are shooters getting worse or are we evolving to become more resistant to bullets?
  4. While I blame the drivers for all of these track limit violations, I don’t like it. It makes keeping track of the standings confusing. It’s like golf’s tour championship used to be.

    Scott Foster is loving this race.
  5. There are some legitimately bad GM's in the NBA.  It's amazing.
    Also, some of these franchises feel they have to be somewhat competitive every year.  They're afraid their fan bases will bolt if they have one bad season.  Fans are smarter than you think and can handle a rebuild if they see the strategy.  

    That’s why the Grant signing is so baffling. No one had the cap space to sign him at anywhere close to that number. You pay him as a #2 when he is a clear #4.

    We all expected Dame to leave. Now Grant is your #1? For 4 years? That contract is now almost untradable. I guarantee he would have taken 3/75 and that would have still been an overpay.

    If you rebuild as a small market, you need to go all in. OKC has shown the way. UTA and ORL are next in line. Most everyone else is doing it wrong.

    I can’t see it

    Portland doesn’t need anything from PHL. I was trying to work out a deal where Grant was traded for Harris, but it doesn’t help with the Dame trade.

    mtg is way too ugly 

    “And many people say I’m a sexist. Would I have picked a woman who looks like that if I didn’t love all women? I had a man come up to me with tears in his eyes, a big strong man, a working man and he said “Mr President”, they like to still call me that, “Mr President, how could you pick someone with only 3 toes to be your running mate?” I shook his hand firmly, looked him in the eyes and told him “Marge may only have 3 toes, but damn if she can’t suck a golf ball through a garden hose…”
