Is the CBC not still available OTA in WNY? That alone gives a different perspective on many stories (and access to Hockey Night in Canada). But yes, I think many don't actually want to consider other perspectives. International travel and friends help to develop an appetite for them. Enquiring minds want to know.

Keon drops 60 in Damar's celebrity basktball gam

So, are you calling Tom Izzo a bad person? Maybe, just maybe, he did the right thing and helped him find his most promising path. That doesn’t mean he couldn’t have been a contributor in time at MSU. -
Not earth shattering news, but Shadeur Sanders signs rookie contract.

Henry Ruggs III. Just given temporary release. -
I wonder if Findings Philosophy 101 education taught him about empiricism? If so it completely failed him with his outside the box thinking in regard to Joe Biden and his mental acuity. 😂

Of course there more outlets around the globe but Americans were primarily getting their news from Brokaw, Rather, Jennings, and their local paper. Unless you were trading copies of the Turner Diaries with the local militia, you were unlikely to come across the kind of "news" our pals in PPP trade in.

Losing streak over with the 7-3 win today. Hopefully they can get on a roll now.

Mr. WEO replied to stevewin's topic in The Stadium Wall
now they have 6-7. But at least we can agree that there are terrible pros. While all of the bolded is true, the claim that the talent is 1000x better than in the NBA's heydays 80s/90s, and by extension, the game is 1000x better is clearly wrong to anyone who watches the game. The main problem is that almost no one plays in college for 4 years anymore. Defense is non existent and very soft and the whole game is about 3 point shots. That's the entire league offensive philosophy. Teams are chucking upwards of 60+ 3's per game. It's hard to watch. I'm not knocking all NBA players, just the very bottom of the bench. You insist that they are better than nearly every player at their position that is not on an NBA roster. This could only be true if you assume that the scouting/drafting process is infallible--this is obviously absurd. Look at the NFL--every year guys wash out of the league after a season, despite all of the prep work in evaluating them. But if you scouts suck, then why would you believe that they can always spot the best players to the exclusion of all other players? They can't possibly scout all players. The Bills drafted EJ Manuel, essentially, after seeing him play in the Senior Bowl. He was terrible. You would conclude that, never the less, he had to be better than 99% of the QBs playing college football at that time---simply because he was drafted and made a roster. That's absurd. I'm using him as an example. If Moss had been coached and developed and as many resources were used to developed his game as was spent on Springer, I think it's reasonable that he could have been an NBA journeyman bench warmer who rarely played any meaningful minutes on 3 teams in 4 years. He's pretty good yes. But it's pretty rare for a top program to tell one of its recruits "maybe football would be for you"----after 6 games. Izzo would never do this if he had any use for Coleman at all. -
He definitely leans into that, especially his TV persona. Gronk is the same way.

Brady Anderson on the Orioles in 1996 never had hit 20 but suddenly popped out 50 lol. Palmiero must have coached him up -

It's possible, but not like Sosa, Bonds, McGwire, et. al. -
At least Lamar won’t be MVP with that many assists from pro bowlers

Was his spleen involved?

I was in 4th or 5th grade and had strep throat so I couldn’t go to the home preseason game against the Eagles. I remember listening about giant Harold Carmichael tearing us up in a meaningless game. I remember that more clearly than most of the games from that era I actually attended. I guess it was “different” so it stands out in my mind, and your brain must process it a bit differently. 🤷♂️ .

If they're not giving returning subscribers the $100 discount again, then I'll definitely pass.

He’s seems like a really really cool dude, but he definitely looks like a Star Trek villain
