What a jobs report. I would be surprised if q4 GDP does not get substantially revised upward.

Yes.

I would take every one of those 6 outfielders (some obviously, but whatever) over Dayan so that should probably answer your question.

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 5, 2015 -> 02:42 PM) Is it just me or is the tide of public perception definitely turning on this subject over the past few weeks? Yes, hopefully no infants die in order for that to have happened. Seems like people realized finally it isn't a "quirky, hippy" thing to do as much as it is incredibly dangerous and selfish.

Another listless bulls performance. I have gotten zero enjoyment from this team in 2015.

After Texas State I thought that team was a borderline FBS team. That they improved into conference play says a lot. It definitely beat a number of teams with better talent, so not much more you can ask for there. They have a long way to go but they had a long way to go when he was hired.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 03:31 PM) If that's true, why doesn't anyone watch the NBA all-star activities? And I agree, the NBA does a lot better job marketing their stars, but I don't think that has anything to do with the lame all-star weekend they have. Just fundamentally, you see a basketball players face much more often than in baseball. Basketball is a much more intimate sport, the cameras are much closer and tighter to the action, as are the fans. Basketball shoes are such a huge business and every player has their signature shoes that helps spread a player's brand. Basketball players are much more recognizable and known than baseball players, but I wouldn't say that has anything to do with their all-star weekend. And yet Jeter was a huge celebrity. Baseball has had many larger than life figures, and very recently do not. This isn't like football and goalie masks where the "you can't see their face" excuse is there. Baseball very recently has done a terrible job of injecting their stars into pop culture relevance. You don't think marketing can change that?

When OFers convert, does their velocity tend to improve or does it pretty much start where it starts.

bmags'd...my God.

Fine with move, sad that he didn't work out.

The only player Mizzou lost out on, Brandon Martin (LSU) is going to JUCO anyway. I feel bad for the kid, his school lost his charter, so he was just going to have trouble getting his academics in order.

I don't think it's AC/DC Specific as much as if you had this song that was really popular with the fan base for a while but then slowly lost it's appeal as time/seasons went by, you should change it up. That song was what, 25 years old when it was popular in 2005 with sox fans? It's not about pop culture relevance in itself.

Didn't I post an article on that study? Did I get balta'd?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 09:51 AM) I could of spoiler Beckner for you over a week ago, it was a done deal. These kids are 18 years old, it's never over. It's not even over now!

This is an awesome class for Mizzou, best one since gabbert. Future QB, Future dominant Dlineman, and a bunch of four star athletes and hybrids for Barry Odom to do what he wants. That said, the WR group next year is awful

T-15 minutes til Beckner Jr.

Actually a small forward would be a huge help right now with McD out.

On the otherhand putting american cheese on eggs instead of cheddar seems unforgivable.

Just to clarify, I am not advocating being rude to anyone. But you can request things without being rude.

The things we thought Jimmy would be good at (defense, slashing, athleticism, rebounding) he was good at. The stuff we thought he'd be bad at (awareness, shooting) he was bad at. The stuff we thought Doug would be good at (Shooting, offense) he's been awful at, the stuff we thought he'd be bad at (defense) he's been horrible at.

Absolutely. I wish you still lived in Cali though to put your money where your mouth is.

This potential murder mystery in Argentina is insane. Their governance makes you jump for joy at how functional our dysfunction is.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) You must have found the one honest alderman in Chicago! This is how these people get elected. like 5% of their district will vote. The likelihood is if someone takes the energy to complain, they'll take the energy to vote.

To be honest I'm not sure if it's extremely small. Because of the clusters, it's fair to say that on average the US is close to the threshold of full immunity, but there are clusters of high immunity and then towns of people at 50% where these will be huge. Now, California is a very populated state, so even if we isolate it to there that would be a huge public health hazard.

I guess I'm confused why the person was so concerned with the stigma of wolves eating humans when the commercial is a puppy being threatened by a wolf. Unless ...
