Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

I don't often just copy and paste in full, but. The Bible in Public Schools Isn’t Even the Wildest Plank of the Texas GOP Platform https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a60927802/texas-republican-platform-voting-2024/ Some state Republican parties held their conventions over the long weeken...

Re: NBA draft

Except LeBron could have just waited a year and gotten Love without a trade. Kyrie, 2nd year Wiggs, LeBron and Love. I take your side on this one. And that's before you consider what Wiggs might have become if his second- (or even third-!) banana light had come on in in his athletic prime. Flags fl...

Re: NBA draft

If you needed to draft, from the peak versions of every player ever, a basketball team, I think Bron is 1-1. And I don't think there's a great argument for the field to the contrary, let alone for any particular guy in the field. Has he lapped the field in a way as impossibly comprehensive as Gretzk...

Re: NBA draft

Steph's averaged fewer points per game, fewer assists per game, fewer rebounds per game, fewer blocks per game, and the same steals per game, with a worse FG%. He has never been selected to a defensive team. He has 2 fewer MVPs and 3 fewer Finals MVPs. What are we doing? We are, in my opinion, puni...

Re: NBA draft

Eye roll on LeBron not being the best from his era. It's comments like that completely loose credibility in the argument. ( and this is coming from someone who LOVES Tim Duncan ) eye roll all ya want. I'm not a big Kobe person, couldn't stand him for a long time. I'd take Kobe over Lebron without h...

Re: Chiefs Offseason 2024

The odds of winning consecutive games where we will likely be favored by 2.5 to 3 points are lower than 50% but not that much lower. Of note, it is not impossible that the Bengals walk into Arrowhead without Tee Higgins. Right. I think it's something like 35-40% win both, 35-40% go 1-1, 20-30% go 0...

Re: NBA draft

Eh. In my book, Bron is alone at the top as a basketball player, at least on an unadjusted-for-era basis.

Re: Top 3 in your city

Fair enough. I can't stand 'em, for other reasons. But just pointing out that Minneapolis is weird during the summers; if you were going on a weekend, I would guess prices downtown would be flatlined. Everyone bolts after happy hour on Thursday (recs: Brit's or The Local) or, at the latest, lunch Fr...

Re: Chiefs Offseason 2024

I listen to this podcast most weeks - it's consistently great. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/red-gold-bold-a-kc-football-podcast/id1583858282 But, Chadiha's wet blanket act is tiresome. In the most recent episode, he says quite dismissively something like (paraphrasing), "Yeah, the Chie...

There may also be great AirBnB/VRBO options. A whole lot of condo-owning professionals now take off for the cabin for much of the summer.

Re: Chiefs Offseason 2024

That verse is exactly what we are having a discussion over - whether the attention is for himself or for his cause. He would tell you that he is speaking God's word and the glory should go to Him ( and seems like his MO as he gives God all the credit for kicking those field goals ). Not yelling at ...

Re: Chiefs Offseason 2024

Sure. I don’t agree he should get his ass kicked nor do I fully agree he is doing it for attention. I don't know exactly what ass-kicking means; I think it's fair for him to get called out for what he chose to say, particularly in a speech that, by its nature, was designed for public consideration....

Re: NBA draft

My guess would be he finishes his career in LA but I don’t think that’s his best shot to nab one more title. Whether titles are what's important to him from a personal standpoint is certainly a question that is personal to Bron. But from a legacy standpoint, do they really matter? He's got four now...

Re: Top 3 in your city

I’m contemplating driving up to Minneapolis tomorrow to see Target Field/catch a game (maybe both tomorrow night and Thursday). Minneapolis seems pretty cheap hotel wise. I’ll scour this thread for minneapolis foods. If this is relevant to you, hotels in the North Loop (or Warehouse District) are g...

I finally watched top gun maverick. holy shit what a terrible movie. all it did was flashback and and follow the plot of the first one, it was incredibly predictable and stale. Awful movie. There were parts of it I liked, when it leaned into the camp. But there's a line between fun, self-effacing c...
