  1. This is typically because functioning political parties are able to formulate a compelling counter message against the current party in charge. As long as fealty to Trump is the only thing that matters to the GOP, any historic precedence is out the window.
  2. Imagine knowing anything about Jack Black and thinking he is not liberal.
  3. I mean, this was like the main plot of Season 2.
  4. *Joe Biden delivers a normal debate performance* PRONGHORN in November: YEAH BUT THAT WAS MONTHS AGO!!!!
  5. A head coach leaving aggy for Texas seems far-fetched and I am in no way saying that I think it will happen, but the Schloss/CDC relationship is definitely a variable that complicates things. (from 2022) https://thebatt.com/sports/impatient-the-story-of-jim-schlossnagle/ Del Conte and Schlossnagle already knew each other — Schlossnagle’s reputation preceded him. Together in Fort Worth, Del Conte gave Schlossnagle an avenue to life outside of baseball within the university. Every Sunday, for years, the two would walk a three-mile loop around campus.“We would just talk about our lives, talk about our families, talk about everything but sports. Some days in the game, the game gets so all consuming that you don’t have an outlet to talk about anything else besides the game,” Del Conte said. “Our conversations were nothing about the game. [We talked about] what we wanted for our kids, what we wanted for life. Those are my most cherished memories [with Jim] because the wins and losses are difficult. Long after the game of baseball is over, he’ll be a friend of mine.”
  6. Ignore, fooled by trolls online.
  7. Really important context left out. The title of the thread referenced here: "Tony V Has Signed Extension With Da Vols"
  8. Last Week Tonight officially waiting until Thursday each week to upload their videos has to be one of the most insane business decisions of all-time. Just completely nuking any ability for this stuff to go viral, in some misguided hope that people will use their dumb app.
  9. Look at the "Trump bump" for every network between 2015 and 2017. You are kidding yourself if this isn't the #1 topic of conversation in every single network leadership meeting leading up to this election.
  10. I may be off here, but the introduction of this tool at the end of the first set of episodes was likely meant to be an unexplained cliff hanger and any "answer" to what it was is either an educated guess or a spoiler from the comics.
  11. Managers of teams with nothing to play for should be arrested if they pull a guy with a no-hitter.
  12. It had to be done, but I do feel bad for Jose. Unlike most big free agency busts, his effort was never in question. Dude just didn't have it anymore.
  13. This is it, for me. Firing the pitching coach to handle the duties on your own is the type of move that has to have massive repercussions if it fails.
  14. What the fuck was happening in late 2021/early 2022? Pretty wild how you can immediately pinpoint when Roe was overturned.
  15. Yesterday: Today:
  16. Not counting the COVID year, there have been 77 seasons since the College World Series was first played. We have "been to Omaha and/or won a conference title" in 54 (70%) of those years. So, yeah.
  17. Sometimes, a decade of American politics can be summarized in a single photo.
  18. This would be career ending for both Trump and Johnson at anytime in history prior to 2015.
  19. I've worked for some companies that completely refused to acknowledge pride and some companies in the same industry that deck out the main lobby in rainbows. It may be pandering, but one feels a hell of a lot better than the other.
  20. I know nothing about this man or his sources, but anyone who uses their actual name as a message board handle is certifiably insane.
  21. Just to be safe, let's not schedule any away games in San Antonio for a while.
  22. We were 15-10 from 4/30-5/26 when he was in Florida. Quick math tells me that would make us 12 games under .500 when he's on the roster.
  23. Just want to point out the absurdity of this whole situation where our official team account is pimping the backup 1B for the All-Star Game.
  24. Planes would need to be looking out for pigs in the sky, for a start.
