And she didn't make it a point to introduce you to Mira? RIP Paul. One of the really good ones.

The rise of the machines. I love that they put the blame on the kid, for moving his hand too quickly. I guess the First Law of Robotics doesn't apply to chess robots.

Nice piece, but it's from June 6th. That's forever ago on this forum. But in your defense I expected it to be an actual thread topic.

I believe they have 6 "stand alone" nationally televised games. They are likely to have 2-3 Sunday late afternoon games that a good part of the country will get. I'm in the same boat. Trying to figure out if the Ticket is worth it, this year.

This reminds me of a street punk talking to a cop while being arrested for disturbing the peace. "Ain't you the copper who arrested me for robbing that liquor store last year? I did jail time for that." And a post in an existing thread is every bit as much "content" as a post starting a new thread. As you might imagine there are many threads covering this same topic were your post could have/should have gone. This thread is far more litter, than content, IMO. And sheep were nervous. It's 2022. You might want to try and catch up. Oh, and "in"

Oddly this summer in Atlanta there were a large number of younger people in the crowd. Among them some smoking hot younger women. First time I've seen that at a Dan concert.

I'd guess he's hanging with Hapless,

The "good old days".

I received an email yesterday that says my NFL Ticket Subscription (streaming) will auto renew on September 10th. Decisions decisions.

Duh. What the hell was I thinking Yes, 6-0 best case. 4-2 worst case

I'm thinking the Bills best case for the AFC East is 8-0 The worst case is probably 2-6 or maybe 3-5. But I don't see that happening this year, without serious injury issues.

I saw that earlier and got a good belly laugh out ot it. Hey, why the hell not? For both player and team. Go crazy!

Maybe I should have posted this here. Maybe I shouldn't have posted it at all. Hard to know.

This is a reference to the beers that were discontinued, which I was surprised that were sold in Canada. That's all.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/07/21/are-nfls-sunday-ticket-talks-not-going-well/ It's a Florio article, so take it for what it's worth.

It LIVES! I thought you might be sorry for Josh Rosen as he signed with the Browns. But then again, you would probably laugh and know they deserve each other.

Yes, Duty Free can be much more reasonable. I still wouldn't want to pay $20-$30 for Steel Reserve.

I'm thinking they believe he thinks he heard a slur. And maybe he did. But it's also very possible he mis-heard something. Loud, bodies all over the place. It's also possible he's simply lying. It's also possible Rudolph indeed used a racial slur. Seems unlikely to me that, in the middle of a football field, with many African Americans around him (including those on his own team) he'd choose to use a slur. But I suppose it is possible. My point is, people often hear things incorrectly---not what the other person said/meant. Physical violence should almost never be one's first reaction to a verbal comment.

I'd agree with that. But this is the NY Post we're talking about.

No not on any list. Still listed among their (I assume) active products: https://www.molsoncoors.com/brands/our-brands/molson-stock-ale?region=931 But just try finding it at a Beer Store! For a few years we thought it was discontinued because the beer stores on the way to our cottage never seemed to have it. But it made a reappearance for awhile. Haven't been back since Covid, but a year or two before, when we went to one of the Beer Stores the woman told us, "Only Americans ask for that." The Budweiser/Coors takeover of Canada is extremely sad. Looking at the list of discontinued beers, it's hard for me to believe any of those were being sold in Canada. Steel Reserve? Old English? I understand why one might buy them here, as they are dirt cheap and are higher in alcohol. But no beer is dirt cheap in Canada.

As with most of these illusions, I can see both. Like the Witch/Princess pictures.

No doubt about that. RIP

Fair enough. But maybe Beane didn't think anyone available when they selected was likely to be the #1 backup at outside WR as a rookie. IMO McDermott is more likely to go to someone who's been around for awhile, or at least is a proven pro, if he needs to make a mid-season change. That seems to be their MO. So I could see Hodgins be the guy for example. But I also don't think them picking up a veteran WR before the season starts is out of the question. I'd say the same thing about CB. So far they've been VERY good at this. I won't start doubting or second guessing them now, given their results to date. I think once they get going in training camp, they'll get a handle on what they need.
