[quote]Playing basketball for a living sounds like a lot of fun but it's still a job. Elton John was once asked how often he practices playing music when he's not recording or touring and he responded "Never. Why would I practice music during my time off? It's like asking a baker to bake a cake for ...

[quote]You are correct on #1 and #4. You are incorrect on #2. Giving up cheap abundant energy does not make us stronger. You are comically wrong on #3. I won't even critique that. [/quote]I’m not saying they’re right. I’m saying this is what they believe and why they do what they do. It’s about ...

[quote]I’m not even really talking about here. Letting the Chinese economy grow and become so powerful, allowed the communist economic system to live on. Of course they’re not full blown communism, but they sure as hell don’t practice the same kind of things we do here. Our economic system is defini...

[quote]There’s no understanding that mass immigration is destructive, you can’t chart that on a little graph, the social chaos, so it doesn’t exist to them, and there’s no understanding that you can’t just import foreign people, like you can substitute grain, because this is how they see people, lik...

You know, I’ve been thinking lately about why our leaders do the seemingly dumb stuff they do. More and more I’m starting to believe it’s not dumb, they just have different goals than we do as citizens. Everything they do is designed to keep America on top compared to the rest of the world. Take...

I love the Astros. We cancel each other out. ...

What’s the explanation?...

I’m not mad they lost. I’m mad they got absolutely screwed. ...

[quote]How many of his steals came after the pitcher ran out of pickoff attempts?[/quote]That’s a simplistic way to look at it. When pitchers know they’re limited, they won’t throw over when they otherwise would have. This rule definitely changes the base stealing dynamic. And as for the OP sayi...

You’re right. And I know that. The terminology isn’t second nature to me yet even though I know the difference. Thanks for the heads up because I didn’t even realize I said penalty....

Most fans wanted John back. This is an entertainment business after all, and Josh has run its course. RHCP have had several different guitarists get hired and fired. But everyone knows John is the real RHCP guitarist where all the hits came from, and it’s a no-brainer to take him back if he wanted b...

I watched a little more intently today. From what I’ve gathered, it seems if you’re on the ball, they allow defenders to be very physical as it’s up to you to use your body to maintain control and deal with the contact. It’s fair game. But when there is a play developing and a defender does somet...

[quote]I’ve always said Anthony Keidis was the least talented member of RHCP. Of course it’s hard to quantify “talent” when it comes to the songwriting/creativity aspect, especially since it’s tough to tell who is contributing what from the outside looking in. But those 3 guys are phenomenal ...

Love Chad. Love RHCP. ...

This is my second season watching the premier league and I’ve yet to figure out what’s allowed and what isn’t. It seems any contact to the legs when a player doesn’t hit the ball first is a penalty. That seems obvious. But when it comes to upper body contact, it almost seems like anything goes. ...

[quote]Could we have 2 Pac 12 teams in the playoff?[/quote] I’m more curious about how many Biggie 12 teams will be in....

[quote]No matter what parameter you set for it to be offside, there will still be VAR reviews for the closest of calls[/quote]I’m not against VAR. I’m against such a strict application of offsides calls. ...

Soccer offsides rule. It’s way too strict. Great goals are taken away because someone’s kneecap is slightly ahead of someone else’s. If someone is like an entire step ahead of someone, then yeah, it’s offsides. But this using VAR to analyze if someone is a couple inches ahead is ridiculous. ...

Ever been to the beach or a water park lately? There are teens wearing the skimpiest thong bikinis with their entire arse out. ...

So what? We have millions of aliens from Mexico here. Just yesterday one walked right up to my door and slid in a business card for Enrique’s Lawn Service. ...
