  1. Honestly, I'd rather they err on the harsh punishment. I don't want tennis swirling in these doping and match fixing scandals. Endurance is a big part of tennis, if you are illegally enhancing that, it's not fair.
  2. 2 year ban for sharapova. I'd be surprised if she even comes back if that holds.
  3. As a person, I feel for Robin. He jumped in, tried. Good for him. But, aside from being contrarian, I see no reason to pick this hill to die on. If he was not responsible for their failure, I doubt you can say he was responsible for success. If a baseball manager does not matter much, it should not matter much that you fire him. In ordinary circumstances, that seems unfair. But there are only 30 of these jobs in the world, you are paid well, it's a great job. If he is not specifically making it better, why should they stick with him? Will firing Robin actually surge us to contention. Probably not. Will it send us in a death spiral worse than the one he is healming? Probably not. Has he done enough to keep one of the 30 best jobs in the world? Probably not. So fire him, move on. SHould have been done last year after Hahn told him to teach Micah to be better defending.
  4. What a terrible idea. I'm sure we'll deal for him soon.

    I probably could have accelerated this a bit. These chapters aren't very long.
  7. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:47 AM) What? They aren't actively at war with other houses, these guys have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years. They just don't disappear like that. I'm not saying their castles and all of them die, but in kings landing now, you have the players that if removed would essentially move two houses off the storyline.
  8. Keith Law just tweeted in response to someone that noted Callis*(?) just put out 60 tools across the board for Ray, that while Ray is his favorite in the class he's more likely to be a LFer.
  9. QUOTE (Nixon @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:03 AM) The show doesn't have time for any of Marge's long cons. She's going to have that blow up in her face along with the caches of wildfire. I hope so, show sure has slowed down. Tyrell and lannister house should have been destroyed last week. I feel like any minute we'll here that season 9 has been approved.
  10. What stage of grief are we on? Are we only on denial still?
  11. Oof, gross. That was a hell of a lot more Kings Landing than I expected. I'm guessing Marjorie is going to "outpure" the high priest, and, armed with legitimacy of faith and crown can reclaim it. Maybe.
  12. QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 10:31 AM) I'm interested in seeing him in a more neutral environment, where every insult isn't met with an applause break. That's true.
  13. QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 06:47 AM) Quick, how many titles has Nole won since this board labelled him a choker who fails at the big moments and isn't dominant enough last year? EDIT: Also, Murray is perfectly likeable off the court. He's thoughtful and I like his politics. On the court is a different story. Honestly it kind of annoyed me how as soon as Murray won the US Open originally he was suddenly a part of the "Big 4" label. Obviously he won wimbledon shortly after, but nobody named Wawrinka part of the big 5 when he won the australian open and french.

  15. Juries aren't judges. Judges are legally trained and presumably able to look at bodies of evidence and apply prior standing and logic to create a judgment. They have their ideologies but those would apply to the CASE not the defendant. The consitution says "jury of our peers". Clearly they believed prejudice existed.
  16. The Hound better be a big role coming up. Because to introduce a character in the last 3 seasons to kill them off in the same episode seems very Lost spider episode to me.
  17. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 11:01 PM) I have no doubt she'll murder him in debates. She has incredibly thick skin, he's got incredibly thin skin. He won't have Jeb! to push over either. He's locked in the room with her, not the other way around. I don't think it's possible to destroy Trump in a debate, similarly to Palin. When the standards are so low, any moment of coherence from Trump and everyone thinks "oh my god, he's winning!". He has an incredibly effective "politicians are corrupt and shills" line which he can deflect and get back to easily.
  18. Fun match so far
  19. I'm excited to see Matt Albers in it, at least.
  20. I would much rather trade for pitching as it does not seem like we have much coming up from our system.
  21. You guys are insane. They'll look like sad train conductors.
  22. The Republicans had power from 77-2003 when some of the worst kick the can decisions were made. The blame game isn't going to make anyone look good. Kick the can politics seem less idiotic when you assume continued population growth, and when that declines it is crippling and looks idiotic. Illinois and Chicago are unlikely to see a population boom, unless global warming destroys the coasts and everyone moves to the midwest for fresh water. We have to figure out what we want to pay our money to.
  23. If that's the case, the KC ROyals get the best jerseys as the Monarchs 2013 KC Royals worn ones are great. https://uniformlineup.com/negro-leagues/201...eagues/#12negro Actually looking at the chicago american giants all of their uniforms are great except for the away. https://www.google.com/search?q=chicago+ame...914&bih=369
  24. Is that what they are?
  25. I hope we can make it through this.
