Hey, a couple of people have asked about BF draft order. I just re-checked and everything looks right to me. - David Aug 12, 11:14 7
- Assuming the standings are correct on the main league pages, Caveman order is wrong. I should be sandwiched between Kim and Sciere each round. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 11:21 4
  - Cavemen is the easiest since the playoffs went exactly according to seeding until the finale. - David Aug 12, 11:26 2
    - So the consolation games don't count as far as standings are concerned? I'm not arguing, just trying to understand the exact ordering. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 11:30 1
      - Correct. Consolation games are irrelevant since nobody is forced to play them. - David Aug 12, 11:34
  - Uh oh. -- nm - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 11:21
- The trade with RC is not reflected. -- nm - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 11:14 1
  - Not trades. Basic draft order. We haven't cleaned up trades yet. -- nm - David Aug 12, 11:15

- I like the comment below which fundamentally misunderstands the concept of WAR. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 11:05
I just spoke with an applications analyst named 'Bud'. He was literally as surly or even more than Michael Madsen in Kill Bill Vol. 2. - Diva Aug 12, 11:02 9

    - She is the brains, talent, looks... you are right. -- nm - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 11:06
    - heh -- nm - mud Aug 12, 11:05 3
      - "He bothers me", was the first thing Zoe said about Wash .... heheh -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 11:06 2
        
        Wow, that *is* Dina and Mel! -- nm - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 11:22 1
        
        Dina? WTF? - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 11:22
I don't think people read him, but be warnd TMQ spoils the shit out of True Detective -- nm - Beaker Aug 12, 10:59 6
- Is it true that there's a trailer for season 2 out there? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 11:03 5
  - they should probably cast it, first. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 11:04 4
    - what's wrong with colin farrell? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 11:04 3
      - absolutely nothing - Epiphany Aug 12, 11:24

Wow. Disturbing story. Porn star Christy Mack is in the hospital after being severly beaten by her former boyfriend MMA fighter 'War Machine' - decline Aug 12, 10:50 2

The big universal reaction of the last 18 hrs. reminds me of 34 yrs ago - mud Aug 12, 10:45 12
- was my Sophmore year in college ... Lennon in December and then Bob Marley the following Spring - JenBro Aug 12, 10:59
- *nods* Kurt was bad, but not universal like this. -- nm - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 10:47 10
  - yeah, I was like who oh yeah that Nirvana guy. - Bacon via Google Phone Aug 12, 10:55 9
    - Oh, I was. -- nm - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 10:55 4
      - Oh alot of my friends were so I get it. I was not too shocked or a fan. - Bacon via Google Phone Aug 12, 10:58 3

        And we all knew Courtney Love would kill him someday. -- nm - David Aug 12, 11:10 1
        
        heh -- nm - mud Aug 12, 11:12
    - Lennon was a big deal for sure -- nm - Bacon via Google Phone Aug 12, 10:55 3
      - I was not old enough/mature enough to fully handle that one at the time. - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 10:56 2
        
        I was old enough to know who he was. The depth of it seems bigger as an older person -- nm - Bacon via Google Phone Aug 12, 10:59 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 11:00

ramonashelburne:"The NBA owners voted electronically last week to approve Ballmer. I'm told it was unanimous." -- nm - Broot Aug 12, 10:29
Norm McDonald tweeted amazing story of meeting RW when he was a young comedian. -- (link) - loosi at home Aug 12, 10:28 3
- On the Raw Dog tribute Jim Florentine told the story of his meeting. - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 10:32 2
  - I've seen stories like this over and over today. Incredibly generous man. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 10:34 1
    - The comedian that toured with him last year (name escapes me) said, "Robin was great at taking care of everyone but himself." - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 10:43
Avoid the Matt Walsh blog, and any Facebook post related to it for a while. - Inigo Aug 12, 10:28 42
- There is a version of this thread every time something like this happens. - Dignan Aug 12, 11:25
- Same with Shepard Smith. - amoxy Aug 12, 10:38
- Who? -- nm - znufrii Aug 12, 10:36 1
  - Also, this. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 10:36
- "Matt Walsh is a blogger, writer, and professional sayer of truths." No thank you. -- nm - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 10:33 3
  - "sayer of truths" means "unrepentant asshole", right? - Beryllium Aug 12, 10:35 2
    - generally this is so -- nm - Beaker Aug 12, 10:44
    - And he appears to be a pro! - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 10:38
- I'm assuming not the VEEP actor? -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 10:32
- From the front page of his site seems like good general advice. -- nm - droidlet Aug 12, 10:32
- I looked earlier. He might want to go off the grid for a few years. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 10:32 2
  - it's a smart move for him. writing that crap means page hits which = ad revenue. And he'll be on Shepp Smith's show. -- nm - Remlik Aug 12, 10:37
  - He's a troll. He loves it. -- nm - droidlet Aug 12, 10:33
- [deleted] 27
  - He's a news blogger. He wrote a post saying RW didn't die from a disease, he died by choice. let your imagination run from there. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 10:33 26
    - As sad or horrible as it may sound...if it is suicide, is that not a choice? -- nm - Jim Aug 12, 10:41 24
      - You know how guys on steroids make a lot of terrible decisions? Other imbalances in the brain cause depression and you make other dumb choices. -- nm - zork Aug 12, 10:46 13
        
        Of course...but even in your own post you used "decisions" and "choices". - Jim Aug 12, 10:48 12
        
        [deleted] 10
        
        Having just read the entire blog post...dude makes a good point or two in there. nm -- nm - Jim Aug 12, 10:56 9
        
        He might if he didn't completely dismiss mental illness as a cause. -- nm - Inigo Aug 12, 11:01
        
        I read it too. I started to get it more when he said he "coudln't comprehend" the choice to commit suicide. That was obvious. - loosi at home Aug 12, 10:59 5
        
        The point he made, that I liked, was that depression (as a disease) is not fatal. - Jim Aug 12, 11:02 4
        
        It *can* be fatal, though. There are different degrees of depression. - Kim Pine Aug 12, 11:15 2
        
        In Walsh's case, he had/has depression that he can control. - Inigo Aug 12, 11:23 1
        
        the fact that he says straight up he cant' comprehend it backs you up. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 11:24
        
        this is, as landbeck said, a very complex thing that he is trying to reduce to a simple choice. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 11:03
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        lol -- nm - Jim Aug 12, 11:00
        
        basically, there is a puppet master behind the scenes pulling the strings. Those decisions are not their own. -- nm - zork Aug 12, 10:53
      - it's not an either/or situation. -- nm - znufrii Aug 12, 10:46
      - It's an inflammatory and incorrect reduction of a complex issue to hostile terms. Straight middle school fighting words. -- nm - landbeck Aug 12, 10:44 1
        
        This, exactly. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 10:53
      - It is and it isn't, but it's also not a productive line of conversation. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 10:42 6
        
        I don't know...maybe I'm just seeing shit differently right now, but I don't see what's to be outraged about in this particular case. *shrugs* -- nm - Jim Aug 12, 10:44 5
        
        It's basically just telling depressed people to "buck up, be stronger", which is not how it works at all - Reagen Aug 12, 10:47 4
        
        That's actually not what he was saying at all. -- nm - Jim Aug 12, 10:57
        
        also telling them, You're an asshole, you willingly inflicted pain on your loved ones. - loosi at home Aug 12, 10:54
        
        This is long but give a good look into how someone is thinking during some depressions -- (link) - zork Aug 12, 10:52
        
        Right. "Oh, no. I'm a coward for wanting to commit suicide. That makes it even worse." -- nm - Inigo Aug 12, 10:50
    - [deleted]
- I have no idea who that is so done! -- nm - David Aug 12, 10:29
"Hm? Sorry I was picturing Whore Island" -- nm - Beaker Aug 12, 10:26 4
- the comparison is apt. -- nm - znufrii Aug 12, 10:27 3
  - hey, he could buy western ukraine and not only get the world' s best hookers from the source but get some world peace -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 12, 10:43 2
    - Oh, wait, I thought we were still talking about Bachelors in Paradise. -- nm - znufrii Aug 12, 10:47 1
      - i thought we were talking about the former owner of the clippers -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 12, 10:50
