I thought I’d get a thread going for what looks like the movie event of the summer in my eyes. The book that it was based on (American Prometheus) was amazing. Who’s going? What format are you seeing it in? Was just looking for some tickets for Friday afternoon (off work and kid in camp) and...

Anyone else dealing with the Southwest Airlines stuff this holiday season? Visiting some family in ABQ, where they are main carrier. Scheduled to fly out tomorrow morning. So far, my flight is still on schedule, but I’m a bit worried with all of the news reports about flights getting cancelled...

I'd post this in the bourbon thread, but I thought it may be easier to set up a separate thread.  Talking with some friends about a long weekend trip to Louisville in July (have friends in Cincy and Memphis driving to meet in the middle, and I'm flying into Louisville).  I thought I'd ask for...

Bringing it back... whatcha got?

I don't see a thread yet. Early Baseball Era and Golden Days Era ballots were announced last week... link The Early Baseball Era ballot includes Bill Dahlen, John Donaldson, Bud Fowler, Vic Harris, Grant “Home Run” Johnson, Lefty O’Doul, Buck O’Neil, **** “Cannonball” Redding, Allie Reynolds...

A college league that I'm in over at Zealots (that has been going on since around 2004) has one opening to fill. The league uses Fantrax for software. No pot; just play for the fun of the game.  There is a small fee for site maintenance costs. The league has 10 teams in it. Rosters are 53...

I did not see a thread and thought I’d get one going. Who are your picks, and who are you wearing?

I don’t see a topic yet. Kind of a down year with no standouts in their first year of eligibility. Might be a quiet year in Cooperstown. @NotMrTibbs: With 96 ballots revealed/~24.2% of the vote known: No candidate >= 75% --- Schilling 74.0% BB/RC - 71.9% Rolen - 65.6% Helton - 53.1%...

Flipping the script, as I’ve seen people wearing some cool designs on their face masks. I need to up my quantity of washable ones, so I can rotate a bit more between laundry runs.  But it does not have to just be for appearance — comfort and protection count too. I just bought some Washington...

YouTube Live currently going on covering Week 2 of the 1988 season RedZone style. This is pretty cool. Link

I've put together about 5 or 6 of these while watching TV at night or traveling for work (hey, it's the offseason).  Maybe I'll keep them going; maybe I won't.  If I start to fall off (ETA: or even if I don't, the more, merrier), welcome to keep this going and offer up your own teams. I started...

I did not see a thread. Thought I'd start one to monitor elections today. Key races: Kentucky governor Mississippi governor Virginia state legislature

Thought this was a story that would quickly go away, but I guess it’s time for its own thread.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet The #Chargers suffered a tough loss yesterday in practice. Sources say star safety Derwin James will be out a significant amount of time, but how much is still undetermined, as of now.  He injured his foot yesterday and was spotted in a boot today. 2:00 PM · Aug 16...

I did one of these back in March, and another one was done in April.  I thought I would revisit with two debates done.  I have put in all 20 candidates from the debates.   The poll is set to close on 8/31. I included an option to check if you would not vote in the Democratic primary if it were...

I enjoyed GM's thread, but as it seemed to focus more on big cities to visit, I thought I'd start a companion thread for smaller ones.  I'm more personally drawn to smaller towns/cities (maybe living in a city has me interested in vacationing outside one), particularly ones in the mountains or...

I saw this trending on Twitter and thought it might make for an interesting (shtick and non-shtick) topic. The earliest one that I can remember was the Challenger explosion.  I remember coming back into class after lunch/recess and my teacher telling my class about it, because she was watching...

https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1126567405617123329 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Jaguars’ LB Telvin Smith announced he will not play football in 2019.

Interested in getting the pulse of the politics forum now that the field seems close to set.  I did not see something like this in here. Sorry if I'm mistaken on that.  I may get this going every few months to see how things have changed.  Set the poll to close on 3/31. I included an option to...

Posted this in the late term abortion thread, but probably worth a separate thread (since that thread started based on Northam's comments, but not really a Northam/VA politics thread). Va. Gov. Northam’s medical school yearbook page shows men in blackface, KKK robe I'm not sure how survives...
