    So...I got this Visa gift card for Christmas. I've been kicking around the idea of trying my hand at painting. Now I'm thinking of spending the gift card on some materials. Any suggestions for a good "starter" set up?

    I really like it. Just my interpretation, but the first word that comes to mind when I look at it is powerful - if that makes any sense. (See what I was saying about my critical chops, Josh?)

    FWIW, I'm keeping up on the thread and reading all the posts. Unfortunately, my art critic chops basically consist of "wow, that's really good" or "it's good work, but not my style." I didn't see my limited knowledge adding much to the conversation. Anyway, the geometric/abstract is very interesting.

    I'm not a fan of monochrome looks (except all white) but I really like the Jags black jersey with white pants combo. I guess that's half an unpopular opinion.

    Very nice. If the Cavs do fan rings, I just might have to pick one up.

    Is that happening to you every time? I ask because sometimes clicking on the thread title in the main forum will take me to where I left off in that thread and other times it takes me to page one.

    Considering the fact that most Americans barely understand the First Amendment, I'm going to say no.

    John Saunders was a class act and a real talent. He'll be missed.

    . Be careful of everything. Depending on who you believe, 60-80% of the memorabilia at the National is fake. Especially when it comes to signed stuff. The National is a great place to pick up fun sports tchotchkes like pennants, unsigned mini and replica helmets, etc. But unless you see player sign the item, it's probably best to stay away from anything signed.

    Excellent! I will post them as soon as I find them.

    Does using water color to "colorize" a B&W photo count as something to add to the thread? I ask because it was part of one of my photography classes at Ohio State. I thought a couple of them turned out pretty good, but I didn't exactly paint the subjects. I just added color to them.

    Nice. I know very little about art and the museum scene, but I've always heard that the Toledo Museum of Art ain't no slouch.

    Indeed. That is some very impressive work. They really convey his mindset at the time - of course I mean that as a compliment. All three of you (Mings, D_G, and Oldschool) have some serious talent. I'd be proud to hang any of your work in my house.

    I really like it. Very nice work, D_G.

    I think of Deadspin as snarky sports humor more than anything else. That's not saying they don't do some good work on occasion, but I can't take them entirely seriously. Take the shopping at TJ Maxx analogy I used for The Ringer and apply it to sports sites overall.

    I've been checking it out. It's a lot like shopping at a TJ Maxx - you have to dig through a lot of junk, but occasionally you find that really nice replica jersey on the rack for $19.95.

    I'm always undecided on Bill Simmons. More often than not, I like his work, but there are also times when I think he's a bigger douchebag than I am. Either way, I can't imagine him dressing in any style other than 1997 chic. It's ridiculous, but it suits him.

    That slur doesn't sound like the result of botox. That slur sounds like the oxy slur. He sounds like he's high on painkillers.

    This isn't bragging, this is just an example of how truly small Cowherd's national TV audience is. In 1997-98, I in was working as the Program Director at a small market country station in Ohio. Our target market was a three county area with a population of about 150,000. I did afternoon drive (3-7p) and my average audience at any given time was about 18,000 people. That's 1000 fewer people than Cowherd's national TV audience in his target demo. I'm sure Cowherd's radio audience is a lot bigger than his TV audience, but still, 52,000 overall and 19,000 in the target demo is pathetic. Seriously, he's getting the same numbers nationally as some small radio station in podunk Ohio?

    Beautiful design, but it's way too big. In that picture of the player wearing one, it looks like he's wearing a paperweight on his index finger. I'd want a ring I could wear.

    Sounds like you were in sports radio to me.

    My take on Joe Buck calling baseball wasn't serious. I think Buck does a great job on baseball games. I worked in sports radio for a while too. What did you do at your station?
  23. infrared41
    Just take the NFL stuff and add the following - Joe Buck hates your team and he loves the team your team is playing. He's an unabashed Cardinals homer, except that Cardinals fans are convinced that Buck hates the Cardinals too. That's all you really need to know to get an idea of how he calls MLB.
  24. infrared41
    My opinion is there are maybe four or five PBP guys who make every game they call sound like a big event (which is something I enjoy) and Joe Buck is definitely one of them.
  25. infrared41
    Same here. I think hating on Joe Buck is more fashion than anything else these days. Anyway, I can't think of a single time I've ever thought "wow, Joe Buck is doing a terrible job on this game." The guy is a real pro, but he doesn't scream his head off so I guess that means he sucks.
