How interesting would it be to review posts from the FBG Politics Forum from 1963?  How crazy would it be reading folks demonize Martin Luther King?  Or in the late 70s, reading about how Harvey Milk was an extremist and wrong to fight for anti-discriminatory policies.   When you reflect back...

My timelines are starting to fill up with outrage from my conservative friends over an immigration crisis.  I don’t watch much cable news, and when I do it’s not FoxNews.  Are Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and company putting out the bat signal to the base that more scary people are infiltrating...

Been playing fantasy for 25+ years and never had a situation where a league member goes through all the lineups every Sunday morning and replies to all on the league text chain pointing out guys who have holes in their starting lineups.  We busted his balls about being it at first, but it didn’t...

Fellas - this is a safe space for those of us choosing to ZAG when every ranking and ADP list told us to ZIG and take CMC.  But we don't blindly follow lists and we don't draft this year for last year's stats. Lots of talent evaluators not only put Saquon Barkley at the top of current RBs when...

Further proof that Trump's GOP is really just a continuation of Reagan's GOP. I'm especially looking forward to @timschochet's take.  

For those of us who grew up in the late 80s.   :lol:     Uniform On (explicit lyrics)

In town for a conference at the Miami Turnberry and need a recommendation for a local sports bar.  Duffy’s?  Ocean’s 13?   Anyone up for a beer?  I’m buying.  

I'm in the process of purchasing a new vehicle.  The dealership is currently running a special where local utility customers get a $10k discount off of MSRP.  Other dealerships of the same brand in the area are NOT currently running this special discount.   Would you attempt to negotiate the...

Who's been?  I'm 43 yrs old and will have wifey, 6 yr old daughter, and 4 yr old son in tow.  Currently leaning toward staying at Velas Vallarta, but could be persuaded otherwise. Resort recommendations?  Family dining spots?  Local excursions?  

I discovered a co-worker cutting her nails in a cube on my floor a few weeks back.  Wrote it off as a weirdo who was obviously raised in a barn.  Two days ago, caught another guy (Stanford grad) doing the same.   Perhaps I'm crazy? 

Going to be in town for 1 night (5/14) for the Dave Matthews concert at Gexa Energy Pavillion.  I suspect my buddies will want to have a few drinks afterward - what's the downtown area or hot spot we should consider when booking our hotel?  

Sounds so great I had to type it.  Over the last 10 years or so many of us have been suggesting that a significant part of the Republican Party base was crazy, politically ignorant, and borderline racist. This was met by resident conservatives crying foul, and many suggesting that both sides are...

In short, my family of 4 (me, wifey, 5 yr old, & 2 yr old) were scheduled to fly yesterday at 10am and arrive at our destination at 2pm local. After boarding, they found a crack in a window, so we deboarded and were delayed for 5 hours, finally arriving at our destination at 7pm. Needless to...

Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but why is there no link back to the forum you are browsing when you scroll to the bottom of the thread?

Fascinating stuff here. A report and testimony by Stanford economist Steven Hall on the demographics of the labor force. In sum - the safety net isn't causing poor people to be lazy; poor people are actually working more, while more "prosperous" folks are falling out of the labor market at...

Anyone watch this Tuesday night? I watched it last night - it's so infuriating and leaves me thoroughly disgusted with the state of our politics. We have failed. Period. All those dead elementary school kids at Sandy Hook. All the kids at Va Tech. The Columbine kids. Etc. We've done...

Very disappointed to be starting this thread in 2014, but if we can't beat Chase Daniels with the season on the line, a playoff run was going to be short anyway. Let's move forward. I posted some general thoughts in the 2014 thread but they are best served here: - Re-sign Dunlap, he's been...

Black Friday around the corner, I'm sure I'm not the only dude considering a bedroom TV upgrade, and trying to decide what's appropriate vs. what's obnoxious. Thoughts?

Classic scenario - would be interested in the Shark Pool's feedback. The owners for Team A & B have never met in real life, and there is zero chance of collusion. Team A: 6-2, tied for first, trades Matt Ryan and Mohamed Sanu (PPR league) Team B: 1-7, in last, trades Aaron Rodgers Team...
