My bro had one of those! I still have the Boston Acoustic speakers that came with it.

I guess I should say the draft isn’t necessarily the problem, but the process is far from the best we can do. Maybe a lottery is what needs to happen.

This will be my last Dillon Brooks post of the season: he got his 40.

I don’t see the need for it. The idea was to give struggling and small market teams the opportunity to compete. In every other sport, it is critical to parity but in the NFL it just ends up filtering talent to the same teams.

Tom Brady is a terrible example. He went in a low round with a lot of other football players that weren’t deemed to have enough character. It just proves the prognosticators don’t actually know.

The draft only ends up in disappointment for the vast majority of teams and players. Teams that are shitty enough to be at the top of the draft inevitably fail to develop those players. Those players, in turn, might get slightly more than their lower counterparts for their rookie contracts, but the absence of any real development means they wash out in a few years. The players that are in the draft that are most likely to succeed are announced on the ESPN ticker a day or so after the first round.

Nope

I think the draft is stupid.

Somehow, Malört ended up as an adjective in that article.

I didn’t see anyone swimming naked…

Most marketers wouldn’t agree with that, but I will concede there is always a market for an audience no matter how despicable they are. So, yes, someone would pay CNN to put their company logo next to his punchable mug. We’ll have to agree to disagree that CNN would want the collateral damage that comes with it or, even could deal with it if they did.

Flash mobs don’t do business with liquor stores, they ransack them.

They absolutely would. That’s like saying a liquor store isn’t going to turn a hundred person flash mob away.

It’s all good dude. I was just thinking you were doing some undercover work as the friendly neighborhood telecom bro.

Getting eyeballs isn't a good thing in this case. You could even go so far as to argue the only reason FoxNews didn't kick him to the curb earlier was because of the collateral damage to the brand. That bears out if you follow closely the emails that showed up in the Dominion discovery phase - any mention of ratings or viewer engagement are almost exclusively in context of the backlash resulting from FoxNews defying the expectations of its viewers. Its a not-so-subtle reference to a toxic audience, and one Fox News was saddled with rather than one they embraced.

I was making a tongue-in-cheek comment. It doesn't matter if they changed hands - they're not going to rehire a former employee that left on his own unless he's a good fit, and regardless of the political leanings of Warner Discovery, he isn't a good content fit for that brand. You have no other hosts that remotely share his extreme views. You likely don't have any shared contributors that would even agree to be on his show, and you certainly won't get any lawmakers or government officials from either side of the aisle to appear on his show. Most importantly, he's toxic to advertisers.

You know an awful lot about Incel communities...

I'm generally a light drinker.

The thing is... dogs of any medium to large breed can not only be violent, but potentially kill a human. If you end up watching Cesar Milan's shows (and can stand his periodic pontification), it's a little easier to see how human behavior has a fairly generic effect on dogs across all breeds. Pitbulls (constituted of a few similar breeds) get most of their bad reputation from the fact they were often used by illegal dog fighters and their tenacity in the ring was glorified by elements of street culture.

Pits are a heavily misunderstood class of dog, which is both why so many are abandoned and why it's so hard to rehome them.

Just need to tip him over.

It's a pain, but have you found any rescues that work specifically with pits and pit-mixes? You might want to ask the local shelter if they know of any. I just Googled this: https://www.pbrc.net/rescue-organizations.html. It might help.

He's not making his way back to CNN under any circumstances. You don't reward traitors, even if you think they'll make you money.

Fixed that for you because he was never a liberal except when it suited his purpose.
