    Biden is definitely not my idea of an ideal president. However, IMO this election comes down to democracy vs. fascism. We can plod along as we are, or spend the next four years watching Trump take revenge against anyone who dares to oppose him, and appointing political donors and sycophants as agency heads and to cabinet positions. Democracy as we know it will be dead with another Trump presidency.

    This system cost over $1,200 in the 1950s. It was 5'7" tall, about seven feet wide and weighed around 300 pounds. Existing ones have been selling at auction for $3K-$8K.

    My city was the home port of the Navy's South Atlantic Fleet. We were on the list.

    I apparently misremembered something. I thought that it had to do with Reagins either not going to the winter meetings, or arriving late.

    Glad for all of them. Beltre could have been an Angel if Tony Reagins had pulled his head out.

    I have vivid memories of this. I was in school in Florida during the Cuban missile crisis, and my father was in the military.

    I find it difficult to believe that 20 million watched the game on Peacock. The network claimed to have 28 million subscribers at the end of Q3 2023. This means that about 75 percent of them had to be watching the playoff game for their claims to be accurate. I don't buy it.

    I can't imagine the clash of egos between Belichick and Jerry Jones.

    They tried to put lipstick on the pig by saying that it was the most viewed streaming event ever. No mention of how many millions were prevented from viewing it. I see this as a prelude to the NFL trying to further monetize the playoffs. The cigar lounge that I hit on weekends said that they were told that they would have to pay $3K in order to carry the game. Needless to say, they passed.

    Sorry, I pulled a hamstring answering that question.

    I seem to remember an AFC playoff game in Kansas City when he drove them down for a go ahead touchdown in the closing seconds. Unfortunately they left too much time on the clock and the Chiefs tied before winning in OT. He is a high risk/high reward type of quarterback. He makes plays that most can't make, but he also creates maddening turnovers. I have heard some of the same criticisms leveled at Lamar Jackson.

    I had one of those. Damned near indestructible.

    My guess is that the battery was crap, but with this phone, who knows?

    I have met one other person who owns one. I allowed T-Mobile to talk me into one. My best advice is, don't.

    Jacksonville went from preparing to host a playoff game to being totally out of the playoffs. They went 1-5 in their final six games (beating only hopeless Carolina) after having a 98% chance of making the playoffs after 11 games

    I am indeed. It's a badge of honor. Our dads served in World War II.

    When I was growing up, the drinking age in Florida was 18. I could buy alcohol halfway through my senior year.
  19. Vegas Halo Fan
    My guess is close - 75-87.

    I grant you that this season was the worst yet. Part of the issue is allowing players to enter the transfer portal before their teams' seasons are over. This should be stopped sooner rather than later. In the first bowl game of the season, an Ohio running back tied a bowl record with five touchdowns. He wasn't a starter during the season. He was replacing a back who opted out.
  21. Vegas Halo Fan
    That is probably the greatest shot I have ever seen.
  22. Vegas Halo Fan
    Opt-outs were an issue before this season, so that shouldn't have been a tremendous shock.

    A total of 26 FSU players showed their loyalty by hitting the transfer portal, with another seven filing for the NFL Draft. Great look for the program, and the Orange Bowl.

    It has only been 13 years. Give them time.

    Pujols was an overpay just because of the length of the deal. Being backloaded was beyond stupid.
