- lemme guess, teh Analyticz? -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 30, 11:53 5
  - The lack of talent to adjust. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 11:56 2
    - jacking up the starter’s and/or reliever’s pitch count has value as well -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 30, 12:00 1
      - agreed. surprise its not done more often -- nm - budice Jul 30, 12:00

we’ve entered the leprosy stage of Meatball Ron’s reign in Florida -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 30, 10:23 3

  - both at this point (had to cancel big fundraisers in the Hamptons last week b/c nobody was coming) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 30, 10:29 1

Penn State has cut all funding to the school newspaper -- (link) - budice Jul 30, 08:57 11
- A school that is deep in Trump country doesn't value a newspaper -- at least that's how this appears to me. I'd like Mandy's take on it. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 30, 09:48 2
  - the town in which penn state is (state college) is VERY liberal. the immediate surroundings are very red, but it's not really politics. - mandy on home machine Jul 30, 10:09 1
    - Just double checked to make sure. Biden won the county in 2020. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 10:59
- So which article did the new president not like? -- nm - spamlet Jul 30, 09:47
- Here's a weird idea on how to budget ... stop paying insane amounts of money to renovate a stadium - Will Hunting Jul 30, 09:14 6
  - athletics is alleged to be self-sustaining -- they allegedly get zero dollars from tuition or appropriation. - mandy on home machine Jul 30, 09:45 4
    - Thing is, they are your revenue front end. The idea that money is held back from overhead is stupid. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 10:12 3
      - the university takes 30 cents on every dollar of donation for administration. so like if you donate a buck to the college of ed, they get 70 cents. - mandy on home machine Jul 30, 10:20 2
        
        We got similar here -- the university as a whole pays like shit -- did I ever mention here what my co-worker DBA got offered at UT? - Will Hunting Jul 30, 10:25 1
        
        penn state says that COL in central PA is very low and that its benefits bolster actual pay. it's true that 75% off tuition is nice but - mandy on home machine Jul 30, 10:31

- 1) Open a savings account. 2) Give me the name of this neighbor so I can offer any services they might need. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 08:54 1
  - I’m saying. Part of me was like “Hey, when I mow, do you want me to just knock yours out too?” -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Jul 30, 10:47
- Danny Aiello -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 30, 08:50
so somebody or something electrified a whole lake in Georgia? -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 30, 08:36
GMs about Jonathan Taylor’s trade value, and it sounds minimal for many reasons: Most notably, it’s a one-year rental. next year’s RB market saturated -- nm* - budice Jul 30, 08:14 4
- There's a reason he fell to the second round in the first place. GMs undervalue RBs. But if he goes to a contender, they become a division winner. -- nm - David Jul 30, 09:41 3
  - But…what contender needs a premier RB to put them over-the-top? Almost all have top RBs already, unless the Chiefs snatch him up -- nm - Flavorize Jul 30, 10:10 2
    - The one that suffers an ACL tear in the preseason, which typically happens. -- nm - David Jul 30, 10:15 1

For some reason I'm watching the Gaelic Football Final (Kerry v Dublin). - LMS Jul 30, 07:41 3

  - I agree even if my family is from Kerry. -- nm - spamlet Jul 30, 08:14 1
    - I hope Kerry win. - Loyola Jul 30, 08:22

- I had the same thing and failed the puzzle because of it -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 30, 08:40
F1 spoils -- (edited) - budice Jul 30, 07:18 2

- He's Tim's favorite from his NXT days. -- nm - David Jul 30, 09:39 1
  - Mauro’s excitement and enthusiasm is great, but he’s also been very open about his mental health issues and that really made me a fan. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 11:43
Kate Bush is 65. -- (link) - mud Jul 30, 05:55
I wanted to watch Major League Cricket but they didn't seem interested in promoting it or showing it to anyone that isn't currently - Krusty Jul 30, 05:29 12
- seems this year's version was a little rushed. might be better next year. it's on generic sports channels here, but also the same time as the Ashes - mafic Jul 30, 05:55 1
  - No local games, no local coverage and no local team names. This won't catch on without adjustments in the future. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 07:20
- Something called Willow TV and CBS Sports Network. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 05:40 2

      - has a *lot* of money behind it, and really they're dong it mostly for the Indian audience, at least this year. - mafic Jul 30, 06:03 3
        
        Yeah, it seems it's only about the Indian audience especially considering the name of the NY team is MI New York. - Krusty Jul 30, 07:19 2
        
        It’s a brand, they have them in Dubai and South Africa as well as the original Mumbai team. The announcers call it “my New York” or sometimes “M.I.” -- nm - mafic Jul 30, 07:29 1
        
        I get that but it doesn't feel right or work as a team name outside of India, imo. Maybe just NY Indians. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 07:43
