NFL

What an utterly crap slate of games for Thanksgiving this year. Yup. Is this just the cool thing to say now? - A legit SB contender away against a divisional team fighting to hold on to a playoff spot. Said team, beat the contender already. - 2 borderline playoff teams with huge playoff implication...

I made the mistake of stumbling on the video from before he shot the guy. That stuff seriously crushes your spirit :(
Yea... I watched the video. The most disturbing part to me was how nonchalant he was over it

What's amazing is this email was from a frigging graduate research assistant with ZERO actual working experience. That's quite the response from someone that hasn't even stepped off a college campus yet. Or...it makes even more sense because they're I've-got-the-world-figured-out-and-I'm-the-best-a...

Doesn't everyone always say "They were such a nice/quiet/good person" when someone does stuff like this? Usually, but then stuff gets released that shows a pretty violent path, or weird online presence / mental health issues / etc, etc... Appears to be nothing on this guy... just straight to this P...

Job and General Employment Thread

Pro tip. When applying for a job, and a company is responsible enough to send you a rejection notice (as opposed to never sending a response), it's never a good idea to burn bridges :lol: What a joke of a human resource department. I am beyond qualified for this position. You obviously did not read...

One perk of a smaller community (where only 9 posters even talk about hockey) is there is no hivemind situation usually...in the rare instance that I poke my head into there, it's usually just people that have no idea what's happening on the rink (80+%), antiquated/pre-conceived notions about a pla...

The opposite party does this every single president in my lifetime. Insult any time a president leaves the white house. It is tiring, because we have little facts. I see numbers on security costs and travel costs... How much of an increase is this from the standard costs if a president never took a ...

Didn't read article, but I was aware of Fred Trump's past... I think that's very unfair to link Donald to the sins of his father
Fair enough, can we judge him by his sins though?
Definitely, and I do 8-)

Start Mid-April in the south, west and dome stadiums for first 10 games. End mid September and playoffs end mid October. Shave off about 22 games and play 140. Will never happen because $$$.

I'm perfectly okay with the door guy as Best Buy thinking I'm a dickhead. Not trying to be rude and I hope this does not come across as an insult, but I'm just curious of your thinking.

Is it just me or is this convo going in the same circle over and over again?

I think people are agreeing more than we realize.

There are no heroes in this story, we are just arguing over who was the biggest "jag-off"

I'm firmly in the spot that dude could have handled it better, but so could the airlines , as well as security. This is what my position boils down to.

One of the positions I've staked out in this thread is that I am the guy who refuses to show my receipt when I leave Best Buy. Why? Because they have no legal authority to demand to see the goods I've just paid for; it is not incumbent upon me to prove that I own what I own, it is the store's respo...

McCutchen wrote a piece for some outlet, i didn't read it all, but what I saw was about wanting to be a Pirate and trying hard this offseason. Not really being reflected today. Player's Tribune..

Does that Dodgers payroll number include all the money they're paying guys not on their team?
