I caved and bought MoviePass, hopefully I have my card when I get back from vacation.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 08:13 AM) Is there any proof that Trump actually got them released? Nope, and I think that is where Ball was commenting, they were already being released before Trump stepped in.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) No that's just being a good human being and criticizing terrible people saying/doing terrible things. There's no need to attach political party affiliation to it. Dems don't get to "own" that sexual harassment/assault shouldn't be tolerated. I should've said that it goes both ways, I will absolutely call out a political party if they take that stance. I'll call out the Democrats if they protect Franken for example. Politicizing does not mean taking 1 political party side.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) 1) Pretty certain all of the conservatives I know don't condone sexual harassment/assault. Don't mistake politicians for speaking for the majority of people. 2) I'd really like to see what the split was in Congress for the 10-15 million in harassment/assault settlements that have been paid out. My guess is it's a pretty good mix of Dems/Republicans. 3) It's sad that an issue like sexual harassment/assault has to be politicized. But, 2017. If a politician or political commentor that is aligned with a party defends/excuses sexual harrassment because of party affiliation, damn right I will politicize that.

That group is....bad. That's like 2016 Republican bench bad.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 13, 2017 -> 01:21 AM) American Vandal is Netflix's new sleeper hit this year. It's so funny and so smart. The style of humor may not be for everyone, but if you're not dying laughing in the first 10-15 minutes, you'll know it's not for you. If you liked Serial and Making a Murderer, this is an excellent parody of both. I started watching it, laughed a lot, but towards the end of the first episode I wasn't sure if I wanted an entire season of a parody. How did it hold up?

I have mixed feelings on apologies, they are 100% reactive so I can't trust them fully, but I do think there is some sincerity in them. But that doesn't excuse someone for their actions, I hope that these guys actually try to make changes in the environment. Start up some campaigns (or volunteer in current ones), help empower the victims, help mitigate new occurrences. Do something instead of an online apology after you took advantage of someone.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) I bought tires from Costco for our last two cars. The only issue I've run into is that I"m almost always told it's a 1 to 2 hour wait to have my tires rotated no matter what time of day I go there. Sometimes that's not an issue if I actually need to do shopping, but there have been times where I stopped by just to get the tires rotated and don't want to wait that long to have it done. Anyone else run into that issue at Costco? Yup, always took about 2 hours no matter what the type of service. I typically just shopped or hung out at the restaurant area.

f*** that s*** Louis, so disappointing in someone who I thought really high of. No longer, he's just another piece of s***.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 09:27 AM) Yes I was pretty impressed with the actor playing Ed Kemper, pretty damn spot on. I will go through 2 more episodes and give it a final shot I guess, too much smoke for there not to be fire. Fair warning, nothing really BIG happens this season, it's like an intro/build up season. Left me wanting a lot more (in a good way), but I could see how people wouldn't be interested in it.

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Nov 8, 2017 -> 03:18 PM) I don't know anything about boating or flying, but the people in the video seem adamant that he was behaving in an irresponsible matter I saw a news article with a video capturing some of his last flight, it didn't look responsible. I just feel awful for his family, has to be devastating.

Also, Bruce Pearl gonna Bruce Pearl... ESPN

RIP Roy, if he pitched in NY or BOS he would have been a straight legend. Seems like a disproportionate amount of celebrities die in plane crashes, or maybe they are just more memorable.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 11:02 AM) Look it up, lazyass. Watch the name calling, it will not be tolerated on either side. We understand that there are a lot of emotions tied to this topic, but this is a warning to anyone that if you break the buster rules we will be enforcing them.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 12:26 PM) This show is high on my list for winter binge watching. It was really good, but man I wanted more at the end of the season (a good sign). Kemper was the star of the show.

Officially worried about this season, knew it was a rebuild year but this could be a disaster. The defense has been terrible so far, a lot of guys will need to step up just for this team to have a bit embarrassing season. And that eval is on all 3 exhibitions not just this loss.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 06:39 PM) THT to ISU. Hope he kills it there, great classy kid that honestly Illinois didn't deserve with the way they treated him. Love what your coach has done in recruiting, really impressive.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 05:26 PM) I wonder if this becomes an Irvin against the rest of Chicago situation. Just not gonna happen, but I really wish that family would go away.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 05:31 PM) Honest question - this incident aside, have there been any issues with Ayo? Jereme Richmond ended up being a headache for Weber, but there were a lot of red flags in his HS career. Ayo deserves to take some of the hit on this one for all the reasons you laid out. Hopefully this is smoothed out when he gets onto campus... Besides choosing to play for the Irvin's and this THT grudge he's never had any reported issues.

I'm worried about the PR hit, but I'm really worried about this Ayo situation going forward. He just (and yes, it's on him though I understand the adults carry a large burden of this) denied a recruit that the staff REALLY wanted, how the hell do you have any confidence for the future with him now? How do you not expect him to pull some other s*** at some point? And to those saying it's not on the kid, come on man, you're telling me if Ayo stood up and told his parents and coaches to get over it, he wants to play with THT, etc that they would hold their ground? Ayo holds the cards, those coaches are dependent on kids like him, if he wanted the hand to play differently he could've changed it. I'm just really hoping that at this point his tenure at Illinois is as smooth as possible.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) Maybe so. Simeon is down too but you get run the risk of alienating them. What if you do this and then you don't land the MIF guys? Then it would be the latest mistake by an Illini staff in a long line of them.
