  1. So many NFL teams need to just go back to their throwbacks full time. Buffalo, Patriots, Bucs, Broncos, Seahawks, Falcons. The Chargers got it right at least with their mix of retro and new.
  2. A bit nerdy but we enjoyed the McCormick Bridgehouse museum at the Chicago River. You enter down on the riverfront and it takes you through the building starting at the bottom part where the lift mechanism is. It's a quick thing if you're down that way. If you're there on a Bridge Lift day, it's really cool. We did a riverboat architecture tour while they were lifting the bridges and it was cool to see. https://www.bridgehousemuseum.org/ https://chicagoloopbridges.com/schedule.html We took the Metra down to the Aquarium one day from our hotel near Millenium Park and then did an Uber on the way back. It's not as convenient as the L routes since it's the commuter rail. The gap in train times and then the walk to the museums took longer than we expected. When we did the Field Museum on our final morning, we just did an Uber back and forth. The fare wasn't that different than the train and took a lot less time. I'd just do the Uber since you'll have to either walk down to the Millenium Park station and then ride the Metra or take an L down to the station closest to Millenium Park and then jump over. There's a fun mini golf course at Maggie Daley Park. Some climbing walls and a roller skating rink if you want to kill some time near Millenium Park.
  3. It's like with anything you try to ask Trump or Vance about, they can talk and whine about their grievances but don't you dare ask them about it because they're focused on the future...while bitching non-stop about the past. It's an easy question. Your candidate didn't want to leave office last time. Why should voters think he won't do that again when he can't even agree that he lost the first time even though everyone outside of MAGA knows he did? That's why the Walz line was the best of the night. It was a damning non-answer.
  4. For Gen-X, he created the soundtrack of our childhood. Definitely in for this.
  5. Only if I can pay for the falcon to claw their eyes out.
  6. Uh Dikembe...Mr. Mutombo. Oh my God!
  7. The owner of the business featured on PBS Newshour is getting death threats. Nice job, Vance and Trump. https://dnyuz.com/2024/09/30/an-ohio-businessman-faces-death-threats-for-praising-his-haitian-workers/
  8. Walz definitely needs to bring this up in the debate. Not that the stupid cat and woman hating dildo accepts any culpability in the mess his lies created. https://dnyuz.com/2024/09/30/an-ohio-businessman-faces-death-threats-for-praising-his-haitian-workers/
  9. He was menacing in Lone Star. RIP
  10. You should've said "hey look, it's the guy who just had the city of Dallas hand him his ass in court".
  11. Debating Vance is like debating Trump except he's not easy to get to twist off or knock off his message like Trump. Vance simply won't answer a question that is asked, he will instead answer with an attack on Walz and Kamala. He won't let the moderators pin him down for an answer. Watch him any time he's being interviewed, you can read back to him an exact quote that he made and he will just dance around it. He's going to throw out outrage over outrage and flood the zone with bullshit. Walz has to just stick to his message and sell undecided people the vision of a better, more common sense future under Kamala than the chaos of Vance and Trump. What Walz used to do on CNN before he was picked is exactly what he needs to do in the debate. Just answer the question as best you can and turn around an attack like tampons in school into why that's not a terrible thing to provide. I think people need to adjust this idea that Walz is going to "mop the floor" with Vance. Vance has no bottom. There's no level he won't sink to. There's no moral that he won't compromise. You can point out his multiple hypocrisies and they simply will not affect Vance. Walz needs to demonstrate why he's a better alternative than a boot licker like Vance who will sell out his principles in a quest for power.
  12. Worthy with a great TD catch on a bomb from Mahomes.
  13. Ah, so all the dog and cat eating Haitians going to Ohio makes sense now. It's not immigrants, here legally, trying to start a life by taking jobs in dying parts of the Rust Belt that are being abandoned by long time residents. It's instead all a conspiracy to get Haitians fast track citizenship so they can vote for Democrats in swing states.
  14. Yes, apparently Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis are in on the conspiracy to beef up migrant numbers in blue and swing states. I guess Elon will want to move out of Texas because of this treachery against white America.
  15. I must've missed where migrants are being fast tracked to citizenship because that typically takes close to a year, has multiple steps and requirements, and takes money to get someone through the process. You typically have to have lived in the US as a permanent resident for 5 years or be married to a citizen for 3. It is not so simple as just dropping someone into a swing state and boom they're a citizen. They have to apply, they have to be fingerprinted, they have to be interviewed, they have to take a citizenship test, and they have to be present at an oath ceremony. The government does nothing quickly. In my line of work, I help people get a government certification that can take 4 to 6 weeks for anyone born outside of the US because their documents have to undergo a screening process before their application even gets looked at. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/brochures/M-1051.pdf Non-citizens cannot vote. There is no mechanism outside of fraud that allows them to vote. If the Federal Government was fast tracking migrants to become citizens, it would be blasted everywhere. This is just the typical Musk replacement theory hysteria.
  16. Shitty first half. An opponent that got up for us combined with getting in our own way and making mistakes. Previous Texas teams would’ve wilted. Sark has to take the points especially when they actually are on the board. I get Sark’s reasoning but I disagree when it’s there versus a chance at more. Blue needs to figure out how to hold onto the ball. He cost his team and his benching was earned. Defense was good not great. I think they weren’t ready for MSU’s running game. Can’t argue with 6 sacks and a turnover. Arch was great. His teammates let him down over and over but he kept going. This is a great game to have before OU to have things to work on the next two weeks.
  17. First win at Ole Miss since 1978.
  18. Ole Miss better hope that's a defensive penalty or a false start.
  19. Not a catch and smart of the Kentucky player to fall down.
