Colin Cowherd is stating that Floyd/Conor is a done deal, fight in Vegas 9/17 -- nm - Strongbad May 24, 05:53 8
- What type of fight? - Will Hunting May 24, 05:56 7
  - has to be boxing I would imagine -- nm - Beaker May 24, 06:06
  - He didn't say, but I assume boxing? -- (edited) - Strongbad May 24, 05:57 5
    - If it is, McGregor is going to get destroyed. I get the idea of this fight, but it makes zero sense. - volnelk May 24, 06:00 2
      - It makes zero sense until you realize that both of these guys like $$$$$ -- nm - Strongbad May 24, 06:00 1
        
        Oh I understand why it's happening, but you can bet your ass I'm not paying $95 to watch it. I'll watch the vine of the whole fight. -- nm - volnelk May 24, 06:02
    - So a joke in Floyd's favor. - Will Hunting May 24, 05:58 1
      - Unless McGregor goes "Thuderlips" on him after taking a couple punches and picks him up and throws him. -- nm - volnelk May 24, 06:01
NBA: Draymond Green's crotch kick was an inadvertant flail and does not warrant suspension for Game 4 -- nm - Strongbad May 24, 05:51 1
- It wasn't inadvertent and the NBA has no backbone. -- nm* - Krusty May 24, 06:00
will someone talk to me about xmen apocalypse? will this thing actually make over $80 mill this weekend? what? -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones May 24, 05:28 3
- I think it *will* but just barely. DoFP did 90 on the same holiday weekend. - Will Hunting May 24, 05:38
- It made £7,354,293 at the UK box office this weekend including previews. And Angry Birds only dropped 6%. -- nm - LMS May 24, 05:34
- I'm having a hard time seeing it. Especially with Alice taking some of the general viewers with it. -- nm* - Volnelk May 24, 05:31
“Detectorists” and “Catastrophe”: Weirdos We Can Love. You really should watch both -- (link) - LMS May 24, 05:13
TV PSA: Fresh off the Boat, Flash, Hotel Hell, Price is Right: Big Brother, Voice, Real O'Neals, Coupled, Containment, DWTS, Deadliest Catch, POI, NBA -- nm - Beaker May 24, 04:47 1
- Top Gear, Stitchers, Night Manager, Ink Master, Penguins/Lightning -- nm - Beaker May 24, 04:48
Someone in my office is watching the new series of Top Gear (it returns on Sunday) -- nm - LMS May 24, 04:36 1
- Bastard! -- nm - Krusty May 24, 05:19
Get rid of the starting pitcher in MLB? Digging into the data says yes. -- (link) - Inigo May 24, 04:34 10
- I can see it working but I don't like it and think it would be bad for the game. -- nm - Krusty May 24, 05:27 9
  - I think a hybrid of the idea is coming to most teams. - Inigo May 24, 05:39 8
    - I can see it working but I don't think it's best for the fans. We're going to be watching a parade of pitchers coming in to the games. - Krusty May 24, 05:47 7
      - We already have that, though. It's just unscheduled. As the video said, starters last 5 2/3 innings on average. - Inigo May 24, 05:54 6
        
        And the constant changing of pitchers is already getting annoying, it'll only get worse. -- (edited) - Krusty May 24, 05:59 5
        
        Part of the way I'd do it is to make sure the starter finished an inning. - Inigo May 24, 06:01 4
        
        And do they need to warm up yet again after warming up in the bullpen. Four pitches from the mound and lets move on. - Krusty May 24, 06:09
        
        I think a simple rule change is a pitcher has to face 2 batters unless he's injured. - Will Hunting May 24, 06:04 2
        
        (Or his replacement gets like 2 warmup pitches.) -- nm - Ender May 24, 06:27
        
        Something like this or what Inigo suggested. I don't want to kill the strategy of the game but I also want to enjoy what I'm watching. - Krusty May 24, 06:10
I'm the week-to-date champion! It's the greatest accomplishment of my life! -- nm - volnelk May 24, 04:05 4
- We are the top 6 of the WTD. Impressive. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 05:39 2
  - Tim nearly doubled his port yesterday. -- nm - ty97 May 24, 05:44 1
    - Amoxy could have tripled his. - Will Hunting May 24, 05:47
- Of course, TY97 is the month to date and season leader, and we are all over the leaderboards, but that is neither here nor there. -- nm - volnelk May 24, 04:28
Gord Downie (Tragically Hip lead singer) has terminal brain cancer -- nm - Beaker May 24, 03:03 7
- This was the one for me. I always dreaded the break up of the band, but Gordie and cancer as the catalyst? Oof. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 24, 06:45
- fucking hell, man. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 05:52
- This was the first thing my wife said to me this morning. A lot of Canadians will be talking about this today. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 24, 03:56 1
  - It is basically 100% of my FB feed. - Andie May 24, 04:03
- I just saw the story too. Horrible news. -- nm - Andie May 24, 03:28 1

I'm in Singapore. This is interesting. -- nm - colin May 23, 23:55 6

- Whatever you do, don't choose this moment to take up chewing gum. -- nm - Mop May 24, 00:11 1
  - I don't chew gum, but I do love j-walking. -- nm - colin May 24, 01:42
- I liked it last time I was there (and not in the airport, but that's nice too). good street food, night markets are cool. -- nm - mafic May 24, 00:09 1
  - yes, the food stalls are so good, so cheap. had lovely Korean food last night before going to bed exhaused. -- nm - colin May 24, 01:42

I know this is so infrequent, but there's a woot off. -- nm - JaxSean May 23, 22:07
holy shit!!!!! this is almost identical to one of my Navajo rugs, but mine is bigger and artistically better w/out a foot of open space at the bottom -- (link) - Peglegpete May 23, 21:56 4
- No real provenience on it. Traditional design but not necessarily old. -- nm - Meg May 23, 22:03 1
  - the painting in the book they mention is a 99.99% match to my rug -- nm - Peglegpete May 23, 22:05
- If sitcoms have taught me anything, it's that you should go out and spend your money now before you know what you have. -- nm - Mop May 23, 21:59 1
  - not let some kids borrow it to sit on at an outdoor concert? -- nm - Peglegpete May 23, 22:01
Thankfully last night's Simpsons is on demand. The Fox schedule was screwed up. -- nm - Mop May 23, 21:43 3
- Huh. I can FF though commercials on this On Demand episode. No 30 second skip, but I'll manage. -- nm - Mop May 23, 22:16 1
  - Its amazing how you power through adversity. -- nm - iSpam May 24, 05:41
- Oh, and there's an East Coast and West Coast version of last week's episode. -- nm - Mop May 23, 21:44
Ozzy seems to be doing a good job. -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 21:38

- The other 551! -- nm - oblique May 24, 06:07
- I should be able to get a few this Saturday. It's not really easy when you're *in* the parade. - Meg May 23, 21:43 3
  - Hmm. It would be fun to get photos of the parade preparations, and in some parades the denouement as well. -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 21:44 2
    - was that one of yours in the little blue car? -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 23:42 1
      - No -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 00:24
My kids want to see Central Intelligence. Something something Kevin Hart is short something. -- nm - Mop May 23, 21:26 3
- I wouldn't hold it against them, it looks pretty entertaining in a zany way. -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 21:35
- i have no idea what my kids want to see - senor dentista May 23, 21:32 1
  - It's no fun when you make the joke yourself. -- nm - Mop May 23, 21:35
I saw about one minute of that reality Price is Right and had enough. Is the regular show this chaotic? - Mop May 23, 21:10 1

        heh. I saw your post and bought it. Had it about an hour. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 20:15
- Still better than $30 in JNGLB2.BW + whatever it makes to delist. -- nm - Meg May 23, 18:52
- holy crap. -- nm - Tim May 23, 18:49
- Everyone bought it at IPO so there's no new buyers to drive up the price. -- nm - Meg May 23, 18:48 4
  - And since the warrant was around the delist price I'm guessing some folks don't understand how it works. -- nm - . May 23, 20:25
  - I guess that makes sense. -- nm - Volnelk May 23, 18:49 2
    - It's pretty much routine with BWs. If you have the money to buy and hold at IPO they're pretty much guaranteed. -- (edited) - Meg May 23, 18:58 1
      - Except for Bats vs Supes. -- nm - Will Hunting May 23, 19:01
- Not enough people. -- nm - Will Hunting May 23, 18:48
- Not enough people playing. -- nm - iSpam May 23, 18:47 1
  - Weird. Because just about everything else like that seems to settle close to delist. It's not like it's hard to figure out. Google Zootopia box office -- nm - Volnelk May 23, 18:48
