2015-16 NCAA Football Thread
ND gives the ACC the dates they are available but the conference actually fills the slots with specific teams.

That's how you deal with a holding penalty.

They both had their hands on each other, which almost always results in a no call. Only bitter trolls are out there thinking ND is benfitting from the refs every game.

The holding call where the OT dragged the guy to the ground? Yeah that gets called almost every time.

I didn't see either of you mention the blatant OPI not called on Virginia a couple times last week.

I didn't even need to glance over to the left to see who wrote this. You're really nothing more than a bitter troll.

Sports Media discussion
Can't play that online though, at least not in any state I'm aware of. Plenty of games of chance are legal in person, but the rationale in banning online poker was the level of luck vs skill involved.

That was my point, there's at least as much skill in poker as in fantasy football.

The Republican Thread
I think Kasich by far would make the best President of any candidate from either party, but the Republican primary voters are just way too far right to nominate him. Jeb is in a no-win situation. If he defends his brother he's defending a lot of bad decisions, if he doesn't defend his brother then he's viewed as betraying his brother to win votes.

OBAMA/TRUMPCARE MEGATHREAD
Not that I would put it past insurance companies to lie, but plenty of people were told their policies were no longer being offered because they were not ACA compliant. The language in the bill itself clearly outlines coverages that are no longer allowed.

OBAMA/TRUMPCARE MEGATHREAD
I don't think a lie is "less bad" just because the effect of the lie wasn't as bad. Getting 30 million more Americans health insurance is a good thing, but if you are competent at your job you find a way to accomplish that without screwing over millions of other Americans, or at the very least be honest with them and tell them that they are going to get screwed over.

9/16 Athletics at White Sox
Not sure why Carroll wasn't up earlier. You always need a guy who can eat innings in September, and when you're not in a pennant chase, it doesn't really matter how good he is.

OBAMA/TRUMPCARE MEGATHREAD
It doesn't even matter. There doesn't need to be a higher rate of premium increases or plan cancellations post-ACA. If someone's family got a policy cancelled or had huge rate increases due to the ACA, then the ACA, then "if you like our insurance, you keep our insurance" was as much of a lie as being told that there were WMD in Iraq.

OBAMA/TRUMPCARE MEGATHREAD
They did change, about as frequently as you inject absolutes into the conversation in order to obscure the point.

As an aside, it's a total joke that online Fantasy football is legal but online poker isn't. No substantial difference in the amount of skill vs luck involved.

Starling Marte should have been with the White Sox
I'm not big on correcting people's grammar in posts, but I'm in favor of getting it right in thread titles.

Then don't have Thursday games in Weeks 2-3 or 15-17. Or do what was suggested above and expand to 18 weeks with 2 bye weeks.
-

This. Either fix the schedule so the Thursday teams have their bye the week before or just don't have the Thursday game.

I really like Charlie Strong. That program was in such bad shape he couldn't have been expected to turn it around this fast.

Supreme Court to Decide Whether Gays Nationwide Can Marry
Very interesting question. That gets to the core of the issue of who exactly is negatively impacted by the issuing of licenses.
-
Supreme Court to Decide Whether Gays Nationwide Can Marry
She's saying that to clear her conscience, but I can't imagine somebody will actually file a suit challenging the legality of the issued licenses.
