  - I'm so behind him on this. If they want to open a charter school they can do it by getting their own space. They're not welcome to use public school - Krusty Mar 13, 09:58
I'm leading a DAR group on a museum tour later today...I hope none of them ask about 'their' memorial tree out front. - Meg Mar 13, 09:48
ESPN has posted an NFL column that hits most of us about our (apparently lousy) free agent signings. - David Mar 13, 09:46 6
- It would be great if, when they write columns like this, they would do a little research before spouting off. - Jim Mar 13, 09:50 5
  - Even so, I agree with them that Talib is nowhere near as good as his reputation. -- nm - David Mar 13, 09:52 4
    - Shhhhhhh! lalalalalalala I'm not listening to David! -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 09:52 3
      - He's a grabber. -- nm - David Mar 13, 09:55 2
        
        I was excited about the signing until I saw the money. Then I became concerned. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 10:04 1
        
        his hips are suspect. I don't think they lie but you can't always rely on them. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 10:11
NBA Commish: Taking doesn't exist. "We have a system in place that encourages teams to rebuild," -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 13, 09:44 6
- 76er's : 0-18 streak and running!! That's 3 more losses than they've won the entire year (their record is 15-49) -- nm - decline Mar 13, 10:00 3
  - The scary part is that they were 3-0 at one point. -- nm - David Mar 13, 10:01 2
    - including the Heat opening game (sigh... it's all gone downhill from there) -- nm - decline Mar 13, 10:04 1
      - Wiggins and Carter-Williams would be deadly, though. -- nm - David Mar 13, 10:06

Judge Judy files suit against Connecticut lawyer -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 13, 09:40 1
- Judge Judy has been on for 18 years?!? Holy moly! -- nm - Ender Mar 13, 09:52
For reasons unknown to me, someone had switched the CNN TV in the gym to HLN yesterday. OMG, it was almost worse than Nancy Grace. - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 09:21 3
- Let's not understate the awfulness of Nancy Grace. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 09:23 2
  - At least the guy reading FB posts isn't making it all about him. -- nm - Ender Mar 13, 09:31 1
    - Unless he's reading his comments. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 09:32
Why hockey is awesome, summed up in one video. -- (link) - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 09:18 22
- Fighting being allowed is awful. I just don't get why it's accepted in hockey. It needs to end. - Krusty Mar 13, 10:03 5
  - I would say Hockey is one of the most grown up of all sports. At the very least, one of the toughest. - JaxSean Mar 13, 10:08
  - There is no end to the amount of wrong in this post. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 10:04 3
    - There's no reason it should be allowed. None. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 10:07 2
      - Why should it *not* be? There's rules, there's penalties. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 13, 10:10 1
        
        "penalties." In any other sport, wouldn't that kind of fighting result in long game suspensions? -- nm - Max Mar 13, 10:25
- It's the spirit that's demonstrated in the film "Goon". -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 09:47
- that seems kinda stupid..... -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:31 13
  - I thought it was great. These guys did their jobs and respected the effort of the other guy. - pmb Mar 13, 09:34 12
    - sure, maybe after the game hug it out, how can you do that 5 seconds after punching each other? -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:37 11
      - It's not about hating the other guy. It's their job. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 09:41 10
        
        it just looks kinda staged to me. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:43 9
        
        I think they basically got to the end and one guy said to the other "I think that's enough. I'm spent. Great fight," and the other reacts the same - pmb Mar 13, 09:45 8
        
        *remembers Tie Domi and Bob Probert, does not remember them hugging* nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:46 7
        
        I dated a distant cousin of Tae Domi once. It was so weird. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 10:03 1
        
        "Tie" -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 10:04
        
        Do you remember the McSorely/Probert fight when the tapped heads after? That was an epic one. -- (link) - Shaun Mar 13, 09:48 [youtube] 4
        
        McSorely was by far, my favorite goon. And the head bump is better than a hug. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:51 3
        
        You just made Stu cry. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 09:53 2
        
        Disco Stu should have moved on with my life. And now it's too late. -- nm - David Mar 13, 09:57
        
        ufck Stu Grimson. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:55

- There was a report that Mack had passed Clowney on a lot of boards but I don't buy it. -- nm - David Mar 13, 09:38 3
  - Everything I have heard on NFL Network is "There's no way Clowney falls below 3" -- nm - Strongbad Mar 13, 09:41 2
    - FWIW, I think he goes #4. - David Mar 13, 09:49 1
      - (and #6 wouldn't shock me now that Oakland needs an OT.) -- nm - David Mar 13, 09:49
- Does he actually try to predict the draft anymore, or just assign teams who he thinks they should take... - Jim Mar 13, 09:31 8
  - He gets money from agents to shape his board in a way that reflects well upon them. Jimmy Claussen was an egregious example. -- nm - David Mar 13, 09:39 5
    - I don't believe in nothin' anymore. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 09:55
    - Seriously? I had no idea. nm - Jim Mar 13, 09:39 3
      - That's how he has made his fortune. Nobody realizes it but his personal fortune is massive. - David Mar 13, 09:53 2
        
        I realize it. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 09:55 1
        
        Don't interrupt my sweeping generality! -- nm - David Mar 13, 09:56
  - I think his goal is to give teams as many different players as possible, so he can say "I told you so!" afterwards. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 13, 09:38 1
    - Actually, this seems more likely. Good call. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 09:39
- No QB at 1 or 3.... yeah I call BS. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 13, 09:30
- I will never tire of saying "Blake Bortles." -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 13, 09:29 2
  - Mommy I want a Blake Bortles license plate! -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 09:30 1
    - No, come along, Bort. -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 13, 09:32
- can't believe almost 2 months till the Draft. I look forward to his mock 50.0 -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 09:08

  - I loved that scene because... - Mel Profit Mar 13, 09:15
- So many good performances. - Mel Profit Mar 13, 09:08 17
  - Bullock's partner (name escapes me), Trixie, Dillahunt (both times), Cy Tolliver, Dan Dougherty could go on and on. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 09:10 2
    - Sol was his first name iirc. He was Kenny Powers' brother in EB&D recently. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 09:16 1
      - His name is John Hawkes. He was an Oscar nominee for Winter's Bone, along with JLaw. - David Mar 13, 09:51
  - S02E01...spoils I guess - Shaun Mar 13, 09:09 10
    - that stare should have won an emmy. - Mel Profit Mar 13, 09:11 9
      - And if we're talking Deadwood, we have to talk about "the fight", yes? -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 09:12 8
        
        *shiver* -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 09:16 7
        
        I know, right? Has to be the most brutal thing even on TV, donchathink? -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 09:21 6

Former Lions DE Willie Young reached agreement with Bears on a 3-yr, $9M deal that includes $4M gtd -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 09:03 1
- Uh, great? Wish I felt like they really upgraded with these pick ups. Feels more like new faces than upgrades. Peppers wasn't worth what he would - pmb Mar 13, 09:24
Colin Powell selfie (from 60 years ago)... -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 13, 08:58 7

  - likely a Bonus of some kind associated with next season (he'll be cut regardless I would think) -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 09:05 2
    - uh, see my first. -- nm - Spawndroid Mar 13, 09:40
    - this way they spread his $10 mil bonus over two seasons and will have $5 mil in dead money on their cap next year when he is cut - Beaker Mar 13, 09:06
  - I was trying to figure that out as well. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 09:04 1
    - I asked the same question on the Ware signing yesterday. The numbers don't add up at all. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 09:07
- "Revis has made $70.2M over his 7year career, per ESPN data -- $54.2M from Woody Johnson and $16M from Bucs." -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 09:02
