The latter

I can't stand that it took me a second to recognize the sport and that it's a conference game. Sigh.

As a Hoosier, I find that claim to be incorrect, bordering on insulting. I'm 100 percent serious. Let me know when they draw 40k fans for a high school game. statelinesportsnetwork.net/wp-content/u...

Oh, I don't recall that. I'll have to look it up. (I have a terrible memory for this kind of stuff.)

Two things:
1) The introduction of D2F kills me every time. There's just something about Gilfoyle correcting Dinesh.
2) Mike Judge has noted that the calculations on the white boards are really solving for the problem. The technical advisors wanted *everything* in the show to be accurate.

Consecutive days is impressive, but I'm more amazed by it only happening 64 times. Those seem like fairly common scores.

Wild... I worked with Mike Leiderman in the early 2000s. His daughter was a producer for Jon Stewart and Letterman then led Kimmel's show for 14 years.

OMG, he's beautiful. We don't have room for him, but I'll do everything possible to help with relocation if he's adopted on the East Coast and needs transportation in Conn., Mass., N.H., or Maine.

Some of these are really disturbing and not at all congruent with how I think about my age (49 but 30 in my mind).

Start of Civil War (1861) to Pearl Harbor (1941) was 80 years. Start of Pearl Harbor to today is 83 years. We are further from the start of WW2 than WW2 was to the start of the civil war.

Incredible game

He's absolutely right. Tonight wasn't what we hoped it would be, but we were one of 12 teams playing for the national title. We're in the conversation, and they'll come back next year even more driven to succeed. #NeverDaunted

I remember being unprepared for how good that movie is. Haven't seen it in years, but it stands out as a huge upset in the expectations column.

Rooting for UConn, but have to admit that ND looked really, really good. They're gonna cause trouble the rest of the way.

Welcome to the Big Ten East Division. Years of playing the the West made you forget what a brutal schedule looks like.

This is an excellent qualifier for being okay with goods produced overseas. It's really not about where something is made; it's about how something is made. Fair labor practices, reasonable pay, etc. The location is irrelevant, but it seems to be less common or defined differently in the USA.

No, I understood. My comment was slightly off-topic.
I'm a huge advocate of pointing out when people say they want Made in the USA but are unwilling to pay Made in the USA prices.

Great point. I thought he had reported this, but I couldn't recall in the moment.

Exactly. LovePop, the greeting card company, tried to make cards in the U.S., but couldn't replicate the mastery of the Vietnamese craftsmen who made the originals. So, they bought a factory and hired them. Plenty of examples like this.

It's outdated to think that the U.S. has to be great at manufacturing everything we need. It's okay to be good at other things. And with scale and global shipping, it can be much less expensive to import than to make.

I'm of the opinion that it's okay to not buy American-made items because we live in a global economy. Also, American doesn't always equal better. There are skilled workers all over the world. Some know how to make things much better than we do in the U.S. Is that a reasonable perspective?

This is the correct take.
I'd even be open to starting at the 40, as someone else suggested. That would make the teams earn some yards for a reasonable FG attempt and shorten the length of most OTs.

As an member of Gen X, I'm really enjoying the Chris Myers podcast. He's been part of my sports experience pretty much my entire life.
The OJ story is something. That dude had problems. Inviting CM to play golf?! Yikes.

Yeah, the economy is so terrible that every holiday sets a new record for air travel and the roads are packed with drivers headed to grandma's house.

How can we say this is "politics" anymore? Politics is when we disagree about how funding should be spent, not about who gets to live freely & autonomously as rights are taken away. I will not turn my head & pretend for a day to make them feel like it's all good. That is how we got here.
