    I like how California doesn't give a shit about other states and how they bow to industry pressure groups.  You know how long it took to have labels on cigarettes stating the obvious?  Thanks Jesse Helms.

    I bought a pack of smokes when I was in Canada in the mid 90s. There wasn't a little warning label about "cigarettes could be hazardous", there was a huge label on the front "CIGARETTES WILL KILL YOUR UNBORN CHILD". Still have that empty pack somewhere.

    So what can you and your kid say about her?

    I never spoke to her or saw her in person. My kid said she was really nice (obviously, wink wink) and a good teacher. The guy that replaced her was a mega douche and my kid's grade suffered because when asked for help, his answer was always "You should know this.". 

    What's really sad is that her husband was an assistant FB coach and I guess he'd had enough of kids snickering at him because he flew into a rage one day (or so I'm told) and told everyone to fuck off. He was fired after that.

    Oklahoma has many longtime open KC fans. The state is fairly split between KC and Dallas, but Dallas still has more fans here. Third will always be whatever team the newest ou player is playing for, currently the browns, because they love them some douchebag.

    When Bradford got drafted, the local FOX station said they were making sure every fucking Rams game would be televised. I hated the Rams anyway, that just made it worse.

  5. My wife thinks she is the queen of dishwasher loading, so I have always left that duty to her to complete. But she thinks it is unfair to have to unload the clean dishes, as loading the dirty ones is such an arduous task, so she won't do anything unless the dishwasher is empty. I asked her once why I always have to unload the dryer myself to put in the wet laundry but tone.

    I had unloaded the dishwasher the other day, so it was empty but the sink was beyond full of dishes. I made an offhand comment but it was pretty much ignored. I got sick of looking at it last night, so I started to load up the dirty dishes (mostly plastic cups, nothing with caked on food). I get halfway done and she says "You're gonna make me feel bad about not doing that", to which I laughed and said "I'm not making you feel that way, you did it to yourself.". She then made a half-hearted attempt to help but I was already done.

    Almost all of the playoff games have been so shitty and one-sided so far, I'm just hoping for a competitive game. 

    I don't really get how in this day and age of airing it out football genius passing wizardry, that you can just run the ball almost exclusively and win. You have to figure that the Chiefs are going to try to make Garappolo beat them. I think that's pretty much the game -- if they can force the 49ers to throw the ball, it will come down to whether he turns the ball over. If he can make plays or if he's able to hand it off 50 times, I like the 49ers chances. As spectacular as Mahomes has been, I don't think they are going to just be able to outscore and boat race SF like they did to Houston and Tennessee. The SF defense and especially their pass rush is too good.

    I know the past has nothing to do with this current game, but I remember when my 49ers played Dan Marino in SB 19. His offense was fucking insane and he was supposed to be unstoppable. Then they played the game and it wasn't pretty. Eat shit, Dan Marino. 

  7. My wife and I went to check out the purple bed today. I really like it but the reviews are giving me pause. Many folks say it's good for a year, then it goes to shit. My current mattress is only 3.5 years old and it's got big (IMO) indentions in the top. It has a 25 year warranty, so I called the furniture store and they sent me the claim forms. I'm 99% sure they're gonna tell me it's not bad enough to qualify for replacement. 

  8. I just can't imagine how he came to that decision. 

    "Yeah, you're right. I don't want to live in palaces or have a staff of servants that handle my everyday needs. And I certainly don't want to be paid a salary for just walking around, breathing and shit. Fuck my grandma's stupid lifestyle, let's move to Canada."

    I can understand why he wouldn't want to be in the limelight but he's not the heir, his brother gets to take all that shit. He can chill in relative anonymity if he wants. I constantly forget the QEII has a fourth child, Edward. You ever hear about that dude? Nope.

    I’m sure that’s a cool car but why even call it a mustang? I don’t get it.

    There's talk that Ford has been considering spinning Mustang off as a stand-alone brand. Not a great idea IMO but if they do, they'll need a few new models.

    Hahaha. He was just slobby fat. This dude was was fucking stocky. I don't know his background or if he played ball.

    I knew he used to be the president of the arena league. Didn't know about his political background. 6'9, BTW.

    Carl David Baker (born February 16, 1953) is the President and CEO of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.[4]

    In his first three years of leadership at the Hall, the organization's net assets grew 161%.[5] He was also instrumental in the inception of Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village, a nearly $800 million mixed-use development surrounding the Hall of Fame now led by Hall of Fame Village CEO Michael Crawford.[6][7][8]

    On November 28, 2017, Baker received the March of Dimes Sports Leadership Award.[9]

    Baker left his early political career after being convicted of forgery in California and became the fourth commissioner of the Arena Football League (AFL). He started in the league as the owner of the Anaheim Piranhas, which he left after a single season of owning the team to become commissioner.[10] One of his more imposing features is his size – 6 feet 9 and-a-half inches tall and 400 pounds.[11] He was a power forward at UC-Irvine from 1971–75 and played two seasons of professional basketball in Europe. Later, Baker attended Pepperdine University School of Law where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review. He was a City Councilman of Irvine, California.[12] Baker resigned as Arena Football League Commissioner at ArenaBowl XXII, on July 25, 2008 after 11.5 years as commissioner of the AFL.[13]

    He was Managing Partner from 2009 to 2014 for Union Village,[14] an integrated health care village in Henderson, Nevada.[4]

    On January 2, 2014, he was announced as the President of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[15]
