    I don't think having a genius who spent more money on a garish barely-used contraption than most of his players helped either.

    1997 divisional round game against the Broncos. Bastards put Vasoline on their jerseys and that was a touchdown by Tony Gonzalez. Refs have been screwing things up for years. Derrick Thomas's last game. All the Chiefs had to do was beat the Raiders at home to go to the playoffs. Had a 17 point lead, blew it and lost to Oakland at home for the first time in over a decade. Didn't know it at the time but Derrick Thomas would be dead only a month later. 2003 No-Punt Game 2006 home opener against the Bengals. Trent Green getting nearly decapitated was something I got to see in person. Let's just say that under Marvin Lewis, orange and black was a fitting color scheme for his squad. 2007 Big 12 Championship Game. I stand by that KU bribed the BCS Committee to screw Mizzou out of a major bowl game. I'm praying that KU's basketball program gets the death penalty. It would be karma for all their bull :censored:. Jovan Belcher's murder-suicide in 2012. 2013 wild card game against the Colts. Hell, any playoff game against the Colts can count but blowing a 28-point lead in the 2nd half was a ballbuster. 2014 Game 7 of the World Series. No MadBum? The Royals win in 5 that year. Yordano Ventura getting himself killed because he thought driving drunk was a good idea. 2018 AFC Championship Game. That wasn't a roughing the passer call. Really puts the misery in Missouri now that I think about it.

    Its Vegas without gambling and even more washed-up hasbeens. Yakov Smirnov has made a king's fortune there. Nuff said. Hell, my Dad got stiffed on installing awnings at Silver Dollar City back in the 90s. To this day he still calls it "Steal Your Dollar City"

    Whatever floats your boat, Oscar. Still, respect for sticking to your guns.

    Except for cost of living. Sorry, I like the idea of living in my own place and not living in a pod for the same price I'm renting my apartment in downtown Kansas City for plus parking. Seriously, there is no way that can be safe. Especially in such an earthquake-prone area.

    See, that's the dilemna. Do you go with what works and risk looking boring or do you go unconventional and risk looking ridiculous? Personally, I'd go with the latter but that's just me.

    100 years ago, Montgomery Ward and Sears were two of the biggest companies in the US. Now? One has been dead for nearly twenty years (the original company anyway) and one might as well be already dead. Companies that don't (or can't) change with the times will always be left behind no matter how big or connected they get. Entropy has been undefeated for billions of years and I don't see it losing now. So, I guess there's some solace in that what is happening to Sports Illustrated is hardly unprecedented.

    Sign of the times, I'm afraid. Doesn't help when their core audience is dying off both in the biological and the technological sense.

    Its 2019, I'm surprised there isn't some half-assed outrage bait article on why its bad that clouds are white.

    Yeah, it's not like he cracked a joke about that player trying to climb over the glass. That might get him disciplined. He's old, cranky and probably had jetlag.

    Good luck cancelling a Chicago institution. Would be kinda dumb to listen to people who probably don't even watch sports too.

    I didn't mean rape, I meant more along the lines of "coincidentally" the guards are away when he gets cornered by other prisoners carrying shivs.

    People like Sandusky don't need a psychologist, they need to be thrown into GenPop. They know how to properly handle sick :censored:s like him.

    Here's the best part about NFL Primetime. But yeah, in an era of ubiquitous Internet access to highlights on demand, I don't see any point to a highlights show anymore.
  15. Red Comet
    Who cares? Can't get sued if the first guy doesn't even take the field is apparently the logic they're using.

    Marshawn Lynch is co-founding an arena football team in Oakland called the Oakland Panthers. (Original story: here) Yeah, he's naming it after the 60's Black Panthers but it wouldn't surprise me if they cribbed off the comic book character/movie quite a bit for the uniforms and mascot. Hey, if you're going to piss away your post-retirement money, might as well do it entertaining others.

    .....The unprofessionalism almost impresses me at this point.

    Thanks for the rabbit hole. One minute in and they're playing a recording of the National Anthem by a "Grammy Award winner". I'd say who it was, but a plane was flying over the stadium at the time so I couldn't make it out. Here's some testimony from a guy who actually runs a semi-pro league. The saddest part? The only comments on the video are a guy who "hopes he can go pro" and another guy replying hoping he does too.

    Difference being most Americans probably can identify the Chiefs logo as the Chiefs logo while you're more likely to get a knowing reaction walking around with a shirt with say, this: than you would with the New York Streets logo. Sans context, the Streets logo looks more like guerrila marketing for a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie than it does a football logo.

    Sad doesn't even begin to describe this. Criminal certainly does, though.

    I'm going take this with as much salt that's going to be produced from the Middle East if they actually go through with moving the World Cup.
  23. Red Comet
    The more you know. I'd hate to be a golfer, tennis player or soccer player then.
  24. Red Comet
    Not to mention the whole "paying taxes in two different countries". Only winners will be CPAs in Tampa and Montreal.

    >Some 4channer as of the end of his freshman year of high school one month ago decides to modsass the head custodian and spills his spaghetti as a result. Now let's talk about something relevant: The Rays players aren't too thrilled about this time and place split either.
