So....... do you have like a personal chef too?


I have two. One I am still paying down with a way higher limit that I'll use as a "emergency" card/"large" purchases card (like say... the $2000 scope I have had my eye on for like 3 years).

And those roller bed things too....

Which my dad always refused to buy since I think he thought I'd play with it too much and give myself a concussion by rolling into the drill press or lathe lol.


You think Pete Rose will ever get in or is he permanently screwed?

I could get the writers not wanting him in if he say, bet AGAINST his own team and then they could prove he was throwing games to win the bets but... the guy bet on himself, fucking literally....

As we keep learning more and more about Rose I'm not so sure he didn't bet against his team......

He should be in some type of HOF for the self own he produced when he tried to sue John Dowd lol

nice man.

11th gen intel is a joke from what's being reported. but if the trends are right, they'll be kicking ass once again soon enough.

I just got a motherboard (t495s) with a Ryzen chip (r5 3500u). have yet to test it.

Really? That's unfortunate. Most of what I remember was he bet on the Reds when he was a player/manager.

lol. Yeah, biggest change Supreme Court looks like it would impact is moving the earliest constitutional abortion ban up 7 weeks.

Not the great big overturn Roe V Wade the headlines are on about. 1st trimester abortions would still be legal everywhere, just only 2 weeks into second trimester not 4 weeks shy of 3rd trimester to states that want to try and limit abortions.

Yeah but for the longest time he only admitted to betting as a manager and said it shouldn't hurt his chances as a player. When did he finally admit to betting as a player?

Rose is one of those great cases of a man who looks like a piece of shit and is, in fact, a piece of shit. I used to sympathize with him until I read about just what a scumbag he is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Rose#:~:text=In his autobiography My Prison,never bet against the Reds.

In his autobiography My Prison Without Bars, published by Rodale Press on January 8, 2004, Rose finally admitted publicly to betting on baseball games and other sports while playing for and managing the Reds. He also admitted to betting on Reds games, but said he never bet against the Reds. He repeated his admissions in an interview on the ABC news program Primetime Thursday. He also said in the book he hoped his admissions would help end his ban from baseball so he could reapply for reinstatement.

Apparently in his autobiography.

How is betting on your own team winning a problem?

It's in the contracts I think for most sports you can't bet on games you're involved in and if you're a ref you can't bet at all or even go to Vegas in general.

But @PolishHeadlock2 said there might be evidence out there of him betting AGAINST the team he was a manager for.
