Fat people probably fall better. They deform on impact

I think the Falcons had allowed comebacks all season like that too. I never counted out Manning’s Colts or the pats in a playoff game. First half never mattered with them. Football is very different from baseball though. Way less games which is a reason I watch it. I can’t get into MLB NBA or NHL unless it’s to watch playoffs cause I’m not going to watch that many season games. That’s why MMA is great too. A lose is a big deal for any fighter cause they never go away (no season reset).

There are too many games in hockey, everyone knows it. There's so much junk hockey being played in the new year. Most european pro leagues are about 50 game seasons. 82 game seasons are retarded.

Hockey>>>>baseball. Baseball is like golf its just so Damn boring

As the Patriots proved too... no lead is truly safe till the clock hits zero.

28-3... never forget.

That would only happen against the Falcons.

On the individual level, sure. But that creates more demand for those diets which the market turns into more fat people, especially poor fat people.

Well I mean wholesale lifestyle changes. Fad diets aren’t the answer, and may negatively effect hormone levels as well. Yo-yoing is no good.

That’s why CFB is the best. Only 12 regular season games and a 4 team playoff chosen by a committee.

Ai kudish. Weird double kine post

Jim Palmer never gave up a grand slam in his whole career (opponents had 213 tries). He said he thought his success there was because he wasn't afraid to walk people, although he also didn't walk many with the bases loaded. He had the biggest gap between his fielding-independent ERA and his actual ERA in history. Part of that was having an all-time great defense behind him, but part of it was that he knew he had an all-time great defense behind him, and despite having the stuff to be a great strikeout pitcher, he didn't normally pitch like one. His control was better than his command (meaning, he wasn't great at hitting spots but he chose to work in the zone and not worry about getting too much of the plate). With the bases loaded, he probably made more of an effort to paint the corners, which led to great results (opposition slashed .196/.230/.234 win those situations).

That's a crazy-sounding statistic at first glance. I don't know what the average is for AB (PA?) per HR for his playing years was, but it seems like it must be between 30 and 50. So 213 without a HR is pretty damn strong.

That may have been the fastest lounge thread, 2 days? And I think it was 1k posts of Batman and whether posters slandered their nephew or not.

You guys probably could just let them run longer. I didn't get barked at for letting the COVID thread in the berry go until it hit 14k posts. Most of the stickies in the OT run 3-4k before I take them down.

Unless you guys just like having smaller threads up here.

Just started Charlie Kaufman's novel, and boom:



Yep.

Actually goes further (implying that Nolan's work is inauthentic and inhuman and contrasting it with Apatow, whom the character compares to Dunkin' Donuts).

Starbucks is trash. DD coffee is the best chain coffee.

Golf, curling, yachting/sailing, auto racing (except motorcycle), fishing, shooting (archery and firearms like trap excluding biathlon), bowling, disc golf, then there’s darts, card games, chess, esports, pool, etc.

Lots of “sports” don’t require much athleticism. I’d say the least of which are the ones you can drink alcohol and smoke while competing.

If we’re going by just body type you could say sumo wrestling but they’re actually pretty athletic in their own way (not the endurance running way lmao).

Sailing can be very physical and require athleticism if you're racing. You get fat marksmen in the Olympics, but not fat sailors.

Palmer himself gave up one every 53 PAs on average in his career (or one every 52 PAs when the bases weren't loaded). Not impossible for it to be luck, but a little unlikely.

I was thinking of the comment on Nolan when I quoted that, but the coffee aspect seems to have dominated in the response. Though again the character doesn't represent Kaufman's own judgment (he actually hates Kaufman).

Do we need to take this to the Cineplex?

Ok my last time shilling for my friends... check out Mostra Coffee, two locations in San Diego. Carmel Mountain Rd. and Craftsman Way. Beer and wine service coming soon! Lmao

Tell them Jesus sent you, they won’t think that’s weird at all.

WARNING: AN EMOTIONAL ASS LOVE LETTER TO THE War Room.

I might check Railsea. If I may ask what books would you say define your youth? (this extends to all the loungers. @Sketch @Limbo Pete @irish_thug @Andy Capp and @HereticBD I really would like to know this from y'all)

I read a lot, but I find that page turning anticipation of fiction kind of lost from modern literature. It's honestly one of the saddest parts of the internet age, a words worth is almost meaningless now. It's so sad to me. In my studies I came across a letter that was almost hard to believe. (I got the book off the shelf for this)

Of course.. it's Zinn, in reference to free educated black children in the North about slavery in the south. This is a quote from a free black girl, knowing what was happening down south. Just listen, a seven year old, I swear we've lost the meaning of speech and it's going to take incredible writers to bring it back, or at least aspiring writers to suffer for it, anyway her words..

" Dear schoolmates, we are going next summer to buy a farm and to work part of the day and to study the other part if we live to see it and come home part of the day to see our mothers and sisters and cousins if we got any and see our kind folks and to be good boys and when we get a man to get the poor slaves from bondage. And I am sorrow to hear that the boat... went down with 200 poor slaves from up the river. Oh how sorrow I am to hear that. It grieves my heart so that I could faint in one minute."

Brilliant isn't it? "Grieves my heart so", the weight of it. I used to get beat up by a cunty stepmother for over ten years, who couldn't read, because big words made me sound like a "f*ggot" but yet. I know this sounds rather pathetic, but I want you guys to know. I've had a really rough go of it since this started. I worked really hard, I quit living a life on the road, I lived my life my way, found a wonderful job, have a beautiful apartment, even, for the first time in my life had savings. Those were drained so quickly, I saved my money with the unemployment, first time in my life I ever took a handout, after all I'm a man who survived only on bus fare and doing a show three states over for a slice of pizza, because that was my life. I finally found a home.What a live I've lead, but God did it feel good to have a home. Not a friends couch in a random state headlining a show I spent $100 to get drooling against the window of a greyhound watchin Texas turn to Colorado. A real home. A beautiful decorated apartment. The last of my savings is gone now but I'm not too afraid. Truth be told I'm not good at being an adult, I was stoked to finally learn, even though I'm fucking thirty two (an age I never thought I'd reach mind you)

Anyway, I just want to let you guys know that you've been my saving grace, and I really want to write this dumbass millenial manifesto thing, but I'm glad I know y'all, and you guys inspire the fuck outt of me. Sorry for another long winded post but... yeah. I'm a bit lost right now and it makes me very upset.

In addition to the chronicles of Narnia shaping my lifelong interest in the fantasy genre. As a child I would have to say Lost in the Barrens (aka Two Against The North) by Farley Mowat. I would be very surprised if @Andy Capp hasn't read it, or the sequel Curse of the Viking Grave.
