        Yes though playing in Baltimore it might still be cold. The best thing is to have the northern teams playing in the south and out west to start things - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:18
      - This is how far we've come. I think I'll face less harassment with a Red Sox hat than a Patriots hat... - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:51 8
        
        Hard to say which will piss me off most but you'll find out in a little over 24 hrs. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:53 4
        
        I'm pretty sure if I took your Yankmes cap off, half your skull would come with it. I say this with all the friendship in my heart... - Mel Profit Feb 17, 07:11 1

        I won't cause a scene because I'm an old married dude but I'm going to seethe if I ever see that. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:56
        
        It's slightly worse than a Red Sox/Pats hat. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:55
  - I've got some broad stokes of what it might look like, but I have no idea how to get there. -- (edited) - znufrii, not a sociologist Feb 17, 06:40

    - What have they specifically gotten done? - Reagen Feb 17, 06:34 4

  - And all the hoopla in Washington has done nothing to change that. -- nm - znufrii, not a sociologist Feb 17, 06:23 6
    - What I'm saying is that it's about the 15th such article I've read since the inaugauration - Reagen Feb 17, 06:33 5
      - "Inner-city Obama supporters still with Obama" didn't cause any hand-wringing on either side of politics. - Roger More Feb 17, 07:09
      - [deleted] 1
        
        agreed. I think it's critical that liberals understand the most up to date state of the opposition. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 07:19
      - The Guardian is specifically looking at a single county in PA that went from Obama twice to Trump, so I think it provides an interesting perspective. - znufrii, not a sociologist Feb 17, 06:44 1
        
        (And they're also going to be reporting on this over the long term, so it's not just responses to a single point in time they're writing about) -- nm - znufrii, not a sociologist Feb 17, 06:46
Ha! -- (link) - LMS Feb 17, 05:50
I'm not normally a Ferrari guy but I have to admit the new 812 is super sexy. -- (link) - spamlet Feb 17, 05:31 2

They have odds up for the next Arsenal manager and Piers Morgan comes in at 500-1. bwahaahahahaa - CQ Feb 17, 05:11 1
- It's the most talked about subject with the team but I doubt Wenger is going anywhere - J Feb 17, 05:43
Simon Blackwell Tweet - If you missed Trump's press conference, imagine Network if they'd cast Liberace in the Peter Finch part. -- (link) - LMS Feb 17, 05:06 1
- That's a great image -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 17, 13:10
Vegas is already posting odds for McGregor-Mayweather even though the fight isn't official yet. Mayweather -2500. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 04:10 25
- I can't stand Mayweather, but I actively look forward to him knocking the crap out of the MMA guy. -- nm - MDH Feb 17, 06:32
- This matchup is ridiculous. No cage fighter would have a hope against even an average boxer. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 04:41 23
  - I disagree, especially someone like Mayweather. If he gets a hold of Mayweather he'll make him... - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:27 12
    - this - although Mayweather is one slippery sob and it'll be damn hard for MacGregor to get close enough -- nm* - decline Feb 17, 06:32
    - I don't see him getting close to him often enough and then I see him punching himself out trying to hurt Mayweather. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:30 10
      - Mayweather is as skilled a fighter at evading confrontation and then applying just enough of it, at his choosing to either win on points or do enough - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:41 9
        
        That's pretty much exactly how I see the fight going. He'll beat him like he did with Pacquiao. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:47 4
        
        It's a weird gimmick. Does he box a horse next? -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:03 3
        
        A kangaroo, obviously. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:07 2
        
        wrestle a bear! -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 07:09 1
        
        I'm busy that day and he's not my type -- nm - RC Bear Attorney Feb 17, 07:15
        
        not being a pure fighter I don't see how Conor will have the training to deal with just a boxer. He would always have had the opportunity to kick or - Beaker Feb 17, 06:43 3
        
        admittedly, I know more about Mayweather and boxing than I do MacGregor and MMA. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:50
        
        it's like a decathlete saying they could win the shot put (or whatever), there is a reason why people who train in more than one sport don't also - Beaker Feb 17, 06:44 1
        
        (but on the flip of that you have Phelps and some swimmers...so who knows!? :) ) -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 06:46
  - I think he has a real chance to come out on top -- nm - J Feb 17, 05:45 7
    - only if he jumps him and takes him to the grounbd' -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 05:54 6
      - Why? He prefers to fight standing up, he is a boxer as well -- nm - J Feb 17, 06:06 5
        
        Floyd is a top 5 all-timer at boxing. -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 06:12 4
        
        and that's not to say it won't be entertaining. He certainly has the power so one punch could do it -- nm* - Beaker Feb 17, 06:17 3
        
        I think he should fight some other guys before stepping in the ring with the champ. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:49 2
        
        but if he loses no monstrous payday. In a perfect world he would, but I don't think they risk the golden goose -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 06:54 1
        
        That's a good point. Win or lose he gets a fat check with a Mayweather fight. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:00
  - Yup. He's going to get abused by Mayweather, There's a huge difference between boxing and MMA. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 05:40
  - Yes it is, but it would also make a lot of people a lot of $$$. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 04:58
TV PSA: Grimm, MacGyver, Last Man Standing, Rosewood, Vampire Diaries, Dr Ken, Emerald City, Gold Rush, Hawaii 5O, Reign, Shark Tank, Sleepy Hollow, -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 03:23 1

Whomever posts on Twitter as Will McAvoy, they're in a 100+ tweet storm about today's press conference. -- nm - Tim Feb 16, 20:09 7
