      - Oh, also, since you were the only one that took a guess on when my $ would come in for FFB, you get a Funko Pop of your choice - CQ Mar 12, 17:48 3
        
        I had to wait nearly six months to get paid out on a baseball league one year. I was quite annoyed since the next season had already started. - Krusty Mar 12, 17:52 2
        
        totally serious. send me an e-mail - CQ Mar 12, 18:10 1
        
        Cool! -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 18:15
- I assume they will be the #1 overall seed. Watch the committee but Wichita St in the 8/9 game opposite them again. -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Mar 12, 17:25 1
  - My only issue with things like that is you're putting a lower seeded team in their home area which is almost a reward. -- (edited) - Krusty Mar 12, 17:29

Bernie's big f--- you to Rahm. -- (link) - Mop Mar 12, 16:53 11
- I hope Rahm runs for President in the future. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 13, 05:43
- Stay classy, Sanders. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 16:58 5
  - I'm sensing considerable arrogance from the Sanders campaign. Considerably premature, really. - Mop Mar 12, 17:24
  - It's a smart move. Rahm is persona non grata -- nm* - ty97 Mar 12, 17:05 3
    - Rahm is beneath him. So why stoop? -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 17:09 2
      - An attempt to turn the Illinois (and specifically Chicago) African-American vote. - ty97 Mar 12, 17:13

Go time. Protests disrupt Trump rally in Kansas City, MO. I expect no Trump rally will go on without mass protests from here on. -- nm - Mop Mar 12, 16:51 6
- considering his rally isnt far from where the big 12 final is going on, it could be interesting. -- nm* - Truman Mar 12, 17:02 1
  - "You wanna know why I'd be the best preside--" [tall man jumps on stage with basketball, posterizes Trump] -- nm - ML Mar 12, 17:04

    - *posts another picture of a Trump supporter sieg heiling* -- nm - Mop Mar 12, 17:25

Murdering robber applies for early release after 35 years....gets 20 more decades added on instead - zeitgeist Mar 12, 16:37 3
- whoa, what? they can do that? -- nm - colin Mar 12, 16:39 2
  - it's a misleading headline--his original sentence was indeterminate so there was never a set end date -- nm* - ML Mar 12, 16:46 1
    - well it was a life sentence but these days a capitol murder like that would be LWOP or Death - zeitgeist Mar 12, 19:40
This Seton Hall/Nova game has been a great watch. -- nm - CQ Mar 12, 16:20
Holy crap American Airlines sucks. I'm so angry they're my only choice for last minute to NYC. -- nm - colin Mar 12, 16:14 4
- The US airlines all suck in general if you don't have status or can't pay for extra legroom or upgrades. -- nm - ty97 Mar 12, 16:18

  - United is better than AA, sadly. -- nm - colin Mar 12, 16:33 1
    - General consensus is the opposite. - ty97 Mar 12, 16:47
Bears sign Jarrell Freeman of the Colts. -- (link) - Remlik Mar 12, 15:56 3
- Not sue what all is there but he had an offer from the Colts, did not take it. Fired his agent. Got the same offer from the Bears and took it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 16:02
- Ugh. He was the one Colt worthy of playing for the Falcons. -- nm - David's iPad Mar 12, 15:57 1
  - I'd make a joke about him going to a loser of a team, but he clearly is going to a team worse than the Falcons -- nm - Remlik Mar 12, 15:59
So, this is actually a legit question. Who goes #1 in a baseball draft? - Will Hunting Mar 12, 15:55 4
- Yahoo guys have it: Trout, Goldschmidt, Harper -- nm - ML Mar 12, 16:38 2
  - Where is Machado? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 16:53 1

Wait, there's only one DC polling place for GOP voters? Seems a bit low. -- nm - ty97 Mar 12, 15:39 9
- It makes it easier to commit fraud that way -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 16:57
- One polling place, 6 voting machines, 27000 registered Republicans. -- nm - mara Mar 12, 15:44 7
  - I have no clue what primary turnout normally is, but that seems abysmally low considering overall increased GOP turnout this primary. -- nm* - ty97 Mar 12, 15:45 6
    - DC is fairly Dem overall. That's the number of registered Republicans, not the turnout. -- (link) - mara Mar 12, 15:49 1
      - Right, but the DC elections folks have A) the data on past GOP turnout and B) the data on increase GOP turnout elsewhere this cycle - ty97 Mar 12, 15:51
    - they're rarer than unicorns in D.C. proper -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 12, 15:48 3
      - We have the numbers: 27K. The question is how many normally turn out vs how many would be expected to this cycle. - ty97 Mar 12, 15:49 2
        
        Ah, you mean the machines. Yes, it seems stupidly low to me too. -- nm - mara Mar 12, 15:51 1
        
        Yeah, I'm (mainly) focusing on the overall capacity. - ty97 Mar 12, 15:52

B3 Krusty - Strongbad Mar 12, 15:26 1
- That's a real shame especially considering where you were in the 90s. Recruiting was much better and to lose those pipelines hurts. - Krusty Mar 12, 16:15
i wonder if the sters who love games like Civ have tried Sword of the Stars - Truman Mar 12, 15:19 3
- Looks MoOish. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 15:24 2
