      - At what? Crime? Because it isn’t football. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 7, 13:42

      - that could work great. -- nm - mud Mar 7, 13:09 2
        
        I think so. Even Diego Luna said he wasn't going to do 5 years on one project. At least we get a good story -- nm - Remlik Mar 7, 13:11 1

      - this is wht I said "boys" -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Mar 7, 13:02 2
        
        That's why I posted the boys list above! -- nm - Max Mar 7, 13:05
        
        "boys will be boys" -- nm - mud Mar 7, 13:04

        Uh oh. Which one was David Harbour in? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 12:57
        
        I don't know what that means but I'm going to assume it's not about Harbour. -- nm - Max Mar 7, 12:57 4
        
        Maya Hawke has an x-rated music video... ah, I did not know how starmeter works. Got it , now. -- nm* - Spawn Mar 7, 13:01 2
        
        ah, yeah I guess StarRank would have been a clearer name for the numbers. Though it's also highly influenced by recency. - Max Mar 7, 13:16 [Attachment]
        
        same -- nm - mud Mar 7, 13:10
        
        Serves me right going for the low-ha.... you know what, I need a break from the internet today. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 12:57

So at best ST'er seem to be mixed on the pitch clock, bigger bases are uh, kind of technicality, mebbe encourage running. But what about no shift? - JD Mar 7, 12:12 6
- *Outfield* shift will be interesting. I'm against the ghost runner (I'm also against the D.H. so..). I accept the clock because umps have let the - zunkskunk Mar 7, 13:28
- Which players will be most affected by MLB’s new rules? One pick from each team - crash davis Mar 7, 12:20 1
  - What this article is telling me is that the ban on shifts should benefit a lot of hitters. So I'm in favor of it right now. -- nm - crash davis Mar 7, 12:22
- why did they pass on velcro bases to prevent ankle injuries -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 7, 12:17 2
  - and thumb injuries and so on. But were some type of breakaway bases being considered? -- nm - JD Mar 7, 12:26 1
    - i recall a tv news segment talking about potential changes last year -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 7, 12:44
Ravens - LJ8 non-exclusive tagged @ $32M -- (link) - budice Mar 7, 12:05 17
- He now is allowed to negotiate with other teams, but Ravens have right to match any offer sheet he signs or take two 1st-round picks in return for him -- nm - decline Mar 7, 12:11 16
  - so basically “go ahead and guarantee 100% of whatever you think he’s worth, but then also give us your two 1st rounders” - hollywood big shot Mar 7, 12:15 15
    - Oh PCL sprain? Well 1yr $32M and thats it -- nm - budice Mar 7, 12:24
    - "The Atlanta Falcons will not be pursuing QB Lamar Jackson, per sources" -- nm - decline Mar 7, 12:17 1
      - The past 15 minutes on the Falcons board have been pure bliss. -- nm - David Mar 7, 12:35
    - There's a precedent been set which is at least partially how the Ravens ended up in choosing that approach -- nm - JD Mar 7, 12:17 2
      - it’s a savvy move all things considered but probably makes it more likely he just sits out the season -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 7, 12:23 1
        
        No, that would be a possibility with the exclusive tag. - the wrong element Mar 7, 12:40
    - And here come the Washington Commanders. (My guess) -- nm - Volnelk Mar 7, 12:16 8
      - Some folks have postured that Danny Boy will sign him to a record contract that's 100% guaranteed as a final FU to the other owners. -- nm - David Mar 7, 12:36 3
        
        That's actually kind of psychopath genius. A poison pill QB contract -- nm - JD Mar 7, 12:44 1
        
        There are two things potentially stopping him, but it is a move he would probably make. - the wrong element Mar 7, 12:48
        
        Yup -- nm - Volnelk Mar 7, 12:40
      - How about somebody like the Rams whose first round picks wouldn't be until 2024 and 2025 -- nm - JD Mar 7, 12:33 3
        
        They are preparing to unload players because they're about $15m over the cap. - the wrong element Mar 7, 12:44 2
        
        New Orleans had an even worse cap position and somehow just signed Carr, though. -- nm - David Mar 7, 13:01 1
        
        Yes, but his base salary this year is $1.5m. - the wrong element Mar 7, 13:21

- (The speaker has also stood by the police chief's view.) -- nm - Ender Mar 7, 12:24 1
  - oh Feckless Kevin? lol that is hilarious. -- nm - Jovian Mar 7, 12:24
- If the GOP, as it is currently comprised of grifters and fascists and autocrats, gains both leg branches and exec, yes, the US ends. - TWuG Mar 7, 12:10
- what is their end game? the money and positioning was behind this a decade before donny bumped jeb out of the way and amped it up. -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 7, 12:07

  - So just water? I sweat way too much to not use soap or shampoo to clean my hair. -- nm - Krusty Mar 7, 12:30 5
    - I have extremely fine hair. This might not work for thicker hair. -- nm - crash davis Mar 7, 12:37 4
      - also I keep it short -- nm - crash davis Mar 7, 12:39 3
        
        Ah. the Anderson Cooper. Also, do not wash your jeans. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 13:15 2
        
        I rarely wash my jeans. Maybe twice a year or if they get really dirty. -- nm - Krusty Mar 7, 13:52

exhibit #1201 for why Netflix is awful (and why writers are likely to strike this summer) -- (link) - hollywood big shot Mar 7, 11:31 6
- But why would this matter in the context of the impending strike? I hear Netflix has its own MBA with the guild. -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 12:00 2
  - Disney (and presumably all the other studios with streaming platforms) want to eventually move to the same model. so there have to be real bumps to - hollywood big shot Mar 7, 12:08 1
