QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 30, 2015 -> 03:08 PM) It seems to me, and I know y'all will correct me if I am wrong, that a socially liberal yet fiscally conservative party could do very well at election time. So will that ever happen? Will it be the GOP becoming more liberal on social issues or the Dems becoming more conservative with our tax dollars? As someone who identifies that way a lot more closely than the existing two major parties, I'd love to see something like that actually become a viable party's platform.

I'd love to bring MB back on a 2 year deal in the off-season to be our 5th starter. Obviously the money would have to work but I'd take him over Danks and/or Noesi in a heartbeat. He won't do it, but I'm sure Mark could pitch effectively until he was 45 if he had that kind of desire.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Mar 30, 2015 -> 04:10 AM) It was very suspenseful, but I felt like it led to nowhere....... It's leading to a lot. I'm pretty convinced the Wolves are the Saviors from the comics. If so next season should be pretty good.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 23, 2015 -> 08:58 AM) Shameless I just saw the episode last night. I can't believe Sammi did that. I'm really curious how they're all going to respond to this. As for Cameron Monaghan on Gotham, is it even known how much he'll be in the show? If it will be significant I would not be surprised at all if he's sent away on Shameless or killed off. I don't think Shameless has more than 1 or two more seasons left anyways.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 23, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) Who's the 3rd besides Kaminsky and Dekker? If Michigan gets Jaylen Brown, then they'd definitely be #1. And the latest buzz on Diamond Stone is that he's down to Wisconsin and UConn and is slightly favoring Wisconsin at the moment. Him signing there would certainly keep them up at the top. Of course, I'm really hoping he goes to UConn and teams up with Brimah

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 05:50 PM) They'll probably have a long hiatus. The issue is that it affects the next season. They might have to start the season earlier. I can't imagine the English FA giving up their Boxing Day fixtures. I bet the turnaround is short across Europe.

Texas, Eastern Washington, Davidson. Maybe Stephen F Austin. BYU if they get past the play-in and Wichita St 2nd round over Kansas.

I survived New Orleans. What an interesting city. I can't believe that place exists.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 08:53 AM) According to CBS Sports, the Raiders gave Rodney Hudson 5 years, $44.5 million. I honestly have no idea who that is, which probably suits the Raiders. He's a pretty good center. Did real well for KC this past year, but by no means is considered among the elite 2 or 3 centers in the league. But the Raiders just gave him the biggest contract ever for a center. The Raiders are so dumb.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 8, 2015 -> 07:03 PM) MLS anyone? It's opening weekend. Unfortunately, the Fire look bad again. I'm going to try and make a concerted effort to follow more closely this year than I have in the past. I already have summer plans to go and see games in Toronto and New England and I'm sure i'll make a few trips down to see NYCFC play.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 04:54 PM) Changing from 8% growth per year to 2% growth per year = saving a ridiculous, insane, unbelievable, enormous, ungodly amount of money. Boy, that'd sure be nice if I was saving money from this. Instead, my insurance premiums have gone up considerably and my deductible rose 300%.

Kansas City is prepared to cut Dwayne Bowe if they are unable to trade him

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) Bills get Matt Cassell. I continue to feel so sorry for Bills fans.

Good trade for both teams. Buffalo has no QB so they'll need to rely on the running game. Between Shady, FJax and Bryce Brown they can do that. I think Philly probably slightly won the trade though. Alonso could be a perennial pro bowl type player for them and they believe in Chris Polk.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) Bovada Bovada doesn't accept accounts from NY. I'm probably going to open an account at 5Dimes. Anyway, college basketball afternoon conference tourney games start today, so that's fun

Nothing to see here, just a weasel riding a woodpecker

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 09:30 AM) No. Its rated exactly where it should be. It's a crap city with very little redeeming qualities. Slymans is the only thing I would say is ok. I've visited a few times to go to Sox games and it's not the worst city I've ever been to. The downtown is really cleaned up, they have some decent bars/restaurants and the casino is new. I'm not in a rush to go back, but weekend trips when the Sox are in town are enjoyable.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Got a very exciting trip to beautiful Cleveland this weekend for a wedding. Anyone ever been to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Worth a visit? It's alright. I guess worth a visit if you've never been but not worth a second visit IMO. There is a casino down the street from there if that's more your thing.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 2, 2015 -> 05:41 PM) The answer has to be never to let it get to that kind of situation, which would presumably involve much better mental health care in this country rather than letting them be out on the streets. That's not an answer. That's an unrealistic Utopian fantasy that does not deal with the situation. Hopefully more evidence is clearly displayed when they release the body cameras from the cops. Obviously, it is awful for all involved that this situation unraveled the way it did, but early evidence suggests that the man did indeed go for a cops gun. And if that was the case, then it's on him. I'm going to leave this here again in case it was missed before. A police office in a town next to where I grew up was killed with his own weapon less than one year ago. So when someone goes for an officer's gun, I have no problem with that kind of quick reaction. http://www.localsyr.com/story/d/story/offi...63EqZs8BkWb6lSw

Thoughts on Virginia-Syracuse? First thought was UVA but Syracuse has been surprisingly good at home. Think it stays under the 115 though.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 2, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) Ndamukong Suh will not be franchised, headed to free agency. KC to franchise Justin Houston Justin Houston non-exclusive, so teams can negotiate with him with KC getting right to match or 2 1st round picks. Also hearing that it is a very real possibility that Houston will hold out on signing his tender until Week 10. Dez just franchised as well.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Feb 27, 2015 -> 10:00 AM) I hate shaving in the winter. I don't shave in the winter. I grow out a winter beard from November until Mid March or April. I trim it up and shave my neck but i's nice to not worry about that for a few months every year. And it's so fun shaving it off in sections when it's time to go

It looks light blue and gold to me
