XFL notes - Remlik Jan 25, 12:33 5
- "the XFL will have nothing to do with politics or social issues" -- nm - David Jan 25, 12:47
- 30 for 30 has another legacy. You could see how the wheels were turning for Vince during his interview. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 25, 12:35 1
  - yup. -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 12:38
- "The quality of the human being will be as important as the quality of the player." -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 12:35 1
  - The Johnny Manziel Rule. - Diva Jan 25, 12:36
Illinois law would ban tackle football under 12 years old -- (link) - just oblique Jan 25, 12:31 1
- what if you put the 12 years olds next to you? -- nm - decline Jan 25, 12:33
Yes, it's SNL but I'm excited for Will Ferrell hosting this weekend -- (link) - just oblique Jan 25, 12:29 [youtube]
HQ trying again. -- nm - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 25, 12:28
Casey Affleck has withdrawn from presenting the Best Actress Award at the upcoming Oscars. HAHAHAHAHA!!! -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 12:28 2
- I know it's automatic but that seems like bad press written all over it. -- nm - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 25, 12:29 1
  - (aside: a tshirt with "bad press" written all over it might be cool) -- nm - Max Jan 25, 12:30
So XFL 2.0 in 2020. 8 teams, 10 games, etc.. The NFL outrage was never about the flag was it? -- nm - Jovian Jan 25, 12:28
XFL: returns in 2020 with 8 teams, no gimmicks, straight ahead football, no xover with WWE. Johnny Manziel not allowed to play -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 12:28 9
- Wait, was Manziel specifically singled out...? -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 12:31 1
  - pretty much, Vince said any player that got a DUI will not be allowed to play -- nm* - Remlik Jan 25, 12:32
- Because there's so much quality talent unable to play in the NFL? - Krusty Jan 25, 12:30 4
  - There's some guys who got cut in the last 2 seasons of HBO's Hard Knocks that I'd like to see out there. -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 12:33
  - perhaps. but now with 2 years to prep. Players can get better. And if XFL is offering competing contracts he can sign NFL talent. -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 12:32 2
    - I'll wager they won't offer competing contracts to the NFL. -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 12:34 1
      - practice squad competing maybe. -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 12:34
- But he tweeted that he's back to the grind and is going to prove all the doubters wrong... -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 12:29 1
  - yup. -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 12:31
The Falcons made more money by lowering concession prices (fans spent much more) -- (link) - Beaker Jan 25, 12:28

- Scandal, Great News, Chicago Fire, HTGAWM, Nashville, Top Chef, other stuff -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 12:20
18 days until pitchers and catchers report! And the Yankees still don't have a 2nd or 3rd baseman. - Krusty Jan 25, 12:16 7
- sure you do. Torreyes or T Wade at 2B, 3B is another story, but I suspect you will get one of the free agents. -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 12:21 2
  - And Andujar only batted .317 with a .364 OBP in AAA last season at 3b. -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 12:24 1
    - Andujar is likely to make the team and play third. He would have come up for Sept. but they wanted him to stay in AAA and work more on his fielding. - Krusty Jan 25, 12:28
- And what about 80% percent of Free agents haven't been signed yet? -- nm - eag Jan 25, 12:18 3
  - Tanaka looks to have made the smart move in opting to stay and not go to free agency. - Krusty Jan 25, 12:34

  - Trump! -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 12:20
is it just me? Claire Foy (who is beautiful) - this isn't the most flattering pic, right? Weird angle or something. -- (link) - Andie Jan 25, 12:15 4
- I think it's less flattering for Chastain, actually. And will someone please get Ford a hair stylist. -- nm - Max Jan 25, 12:29
- I don't think the hairstyling is helping her there. Somewhat unrelated but just something on my mind... - Diva Jan 25, 12:22
- Why is she laying down? - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 12:20 1
  - heavy is the head that wears the crown. she tired. -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 12:23
That’s okay. I didn’t feel like being reminded I’m dumb right now anyway, Scott. (The HQ died nt.) -- nm - Qale Jan 25, 12:07

- cook him a great dinner -- nm - peglegpete Jan 25, 12:19 1
  - Whenever I cook it is great. The question posed wasn't about a woman cooking for a man. Sexist much? -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 12:40
- I thought of something else: you get to set his alarm for three mornings using a Clocky. - ReluctantCynic - Eagles Fan (at least this year) Jan 25, 12:14
- did you see Misery? -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 12:10

- Oh my. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 11:58
- forfeiture of the remote for 1 week. - Epiphany Jan 25, 11:57 6
  - This. Make it the week of February 1-7. - ReluctantCynic - Eagles Fan (at least this year) Jan 25, 12:04 5
    - leave the channel on the puppy bowl for the entire super bowl. -- nm - colin Jan 25, 12:04 4
      - Nah. The Puppy Bowl is too entertaining for him. Leave it on QVC for 12 hours starting at 9:00 a.m. -- nm - ReluctantCynic - Eagles Fan (at least this year) Jan 25, 12:11 3
        
        Constant loop of Aaron Boone from the 2003 ALCS. -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 12:13 2

  - If you pay for my airfare, I'll wear whatever you want, sweetheart! -- nm - TWuG's windchimes like you Jan 25, 11:56
- if it's in march, you can stay at my place in Tampa .. only a few hour drive over. probably cheaper to fly into tampa as well, drive over. -- nm - colin Jan 25, 11:54 3
  - It's probably sometime in the next two weeks. And March is not possible for me as we'll be hosting an exchange student. But thank you for the - TWuG's windchimes like you Jan 25, 11:56 2
    - no problem. hope you get to go! i've never seen a launch, but that looks like a pretty cool one. -- nm - colin Jan 25, 12:00 1

      - Ha! -- nm - David Jan 25, 12:31
      - I could probably attend, its a sea of people and they wouldn't know I was even there but I asked Friend A to save me a seat if I went. - Epiphany Jan 25, 11:56 1
        
        Ahh. That makes it a little bit different and tougher call. Sorry. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:32
      - this is good. -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 11:56
  - ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH - colin Jan 25, 11:48 1
    - UGH - sucks -- nm - Epiphany Jan 25, 11:58

  - I listen to two Simpsons podcasts. Talking Simpsons and Four Finger Discount. The first is by two American guys and the second by two Aussie guys. - Krusty Jan 25, 11:34
The grandma part of this story is funny but I seriously want to punch the person in the face for how they write their tweets -- (link) - just oblique Jan 25, 11:06
This is a fascinating story. They may have uncovered wreckage of the last ship to bring over slaves from Africa -- (link*) - znufrii Jan 25, 10:50 5
- The Order of Myths (2008) I think covers this story a bit..that's a super messed up story, especially about the white families keeping artifacts.. - colin Jan 25, 11:08
- nmbznu not about this post - Epiphany Jan 25, 11:05 3

- Just a question - why are there laws at all about what you wear hunting? Is it a visibility thing (which I would understand.) -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 11:11 2
  - Yes. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 11:14
  - Yes, visibility. So another hunter knows that rustling in the bush is another hunter and not a deer. -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 11:14
- but no bear hunting. Their menstration attracts bears, or so I've heard... -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 10:55 1
  - stop it. -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 11:14
- But I, too, would like to look and feel attractive (even while hunting)! Am I allowed to wear Hunter Pink? - ReluctantCynic - Eagles Fan (at least this year) Jan 25, 10:51 7
  - This would give you a tactical advantage while hunting, because the game would immediately spot you and think "ah, female. She won't shoot." -- nm - Max Jan 25, 10:59 1
    - "Or at least, not well." -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 11:55
  - You should start your own Pink Bear line -- nm - just oblique Jan 25, 10:53 3

Missouri GOP always has the best Senate candidates -- (link) - ty97 Jan 25, 10:47 6
- Oh yeah, that guy. He won't actually win though because Dawson's BFF is running. - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 25, 11:22
- He forgot to call them lesbians but otherwise good job hitting every checkmark! -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 10:58 4

Speaking of existential dread, bordering on terror ... - ReluctantCynic - Eagles Fan (at least this year) Jan 25, 10:40 3

Bery, that is the daddest of dad jokes. (nm) - IrishStephen Jan 25, 10:33
There’s a reason those policies for the most part have never been tried, at least in recent political history. -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 10:31 3
- We're still taking about the BBHOF, right? -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 10:35 1
  - I'm pretty sure it's about Swype. - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 25, 11:23
- Because they don't even work on paper unless your goals are to just let the selfish and self interested do whatever they want without consequences. - TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip Jan 25, 10:34

I really want to get to the induction ceremonies, but I don't think it is in the cards for me, sadly. -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 10:02 4
