Honestly I think the league has just made it impossible to officiate. They could increase training or incentives but until they simplify their rule book stupid stuff is going to happen.

I actually wouldn't mind doubling down on the rotation but am not sure I'd like to trade our weak farm system for it. I also don't find that package appealing at all for miller if I was braves. I'd prefer if we go this route to hunt these mid level sp pitchers and hope for the best.

Oh what a joy that will be to get bullied around by texas.

Gronk did not tear acl/mcl, just a sprain. Crazy to see those reports and then walked back. Can't imagine being a pats fan there.

The story pivots so much from murderous isolated contest where goal is to survive to a wide-spanning "win a civil war". In reality the third book could have been 5 unsuccessful books but eventually you run out of reason for her to be in the games. In lord of the rings, you have a single goal (destroy the ring) that can have so much happen along the way. In Harry Potter, its kill voldemort. These are simple acts that are your ending. Hunger Games could have resolved with the civil war being a handwaving moment "everyone rose up, the city fell in days", but instead they made the plot the civil war and it was a mess. The movie could have changed that but it didn't have the guts.

Kabul embassy warning of credible threat this morning. There have also been some very interesting articles on "why belgium" and how the dysfunction of that government has made it easier for their radical cells to thrive. It is likely that belgium and french radicalism is fairly equal in numbers, but the belgian government is not capable of handling and preventing anything due to federal/local dysfunction.

Surprised Herman stayed at Houston.

Cool points Greg.

Discussions of city council holding a no-confidence vote on McCarthy. Also movements against Anita Alvarez to step down.

Barry Odom is the leading candidate for the job and there hasn't been a peep about whatever you are talking about greg. All of the hypotheticals about how a "group" will respond, it may ease your concern if you actually just bothered to listen instead of constantly forming an opinion on how they react and how they may react to situations.

It was announced last wednesday, tickets went on sale Saturday. I had made plans with several friends to go, there were a total of 12 shows, 2 a night. Then, saturday they went on sale and we realized only 2 could be bought at one time. We let everyone know, but we were only ones who were able to get through. With 12 shows I honestly did not think it would be that hard to find one night together.

So, as a follow-up, saw Creed and Spotlight this weekend. Already discussed spotlight, but Creed was really good, very fun, very watchable. Its hard to make a bad boxing movie, as a boxing montage is just so automatically great. Its the best montage in movies. But I really liked the small things in this movie. The training dialogue and ringside advice Balboa gives was much more interesting in a tactical/realism sort of way than with a "heart is all you need" kind of way.

I nabbed two tickets to chappelle next saturday!

Spotlight was incredible. Phenomenal acting, writing and editing.

Great editorial by trib. This cannot wither on the vine. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion...1127-story.html

The Bears defense is having an incredible run of not looking that dominant but at the end of the game they gave up less than 20 Pts and held another team scoreless in second half. The job fangio has done is incredible.

Ah, yeah. Not sure how that works but checking into one auto-checks you into the other.

Forte Langford I think is a lock, though.

I don't have a good feeling about this guy from his stats, however, if we sign him I will be irrationally excited.

raised by the state, executed by the state. This is the story of those this world just swallows up and spits out. I have a brick in my stomach over all of this. So sad and terrifying.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 01:47 PM) Wow, thanks guys! It is only two of us and we are flying into Dulles airport with a layover in Chicago. Will we have to check in twice or will the first boarding number/group be the same for the 2nd flight out of Chicago? I would hope we can get 2 seats together but sounds like it will be a toss up. When people check in right at the 24 hour mark is it likely you will get group B? It depends. Earlybird is very popular now, I usually do not get B on a full flight if I check in right away. Also, if your plane is the same one flying from chicago, you would likely stay on the plane, so you could re-adjust seats then to sit next to each other.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 01:03 PM) Flying Southwest for the first time on New Years Eve. We booked the "Wanna Get Away" ticket because it was the cheapest, anyone have experience with that? Buy the early bird feature. It's worth it. otherwise, try to check-in 24 hrs before as soon as it hits. Southwest is tremendous at being on time and fast and comfortable. But if you are a C you will not sit together and you'll be in the middle.
