  1. From JVL, Bullwerk https://thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/spoiler-fox-wins And I have some bad news for you: There will be no consequences for anyone involved. None. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Rupert Murdoch won’t be touched. The prime time hosts won’t lose either viewers or their jobs. They won’t face any additional shame in their professional or personal lives. The supposedly serious “news side” people, like Bret Baier, will still be given the benefit of the doubt, even by their peers in the mainstream. Democratic politicians will still go on their shows and treat them as though they are serious journalists. No advertisers will pull their buys. No paid speaking gigs will be cancelled. No book sales will be diminished. No one will even be put into timeout like Don Lemon was.1 Here I would remind you that Chris Cuomo had his entire media career destroyed because he gave a politician (his brother) back-channel advice concerning a specific incident without disclosing it. Which is proper: What Cuomo did was 100 percent out of bounds. CNN was right to fire him. It’s good that no other mainstream outlet has hired him. My point is that in the “liberal mainstream media,” Chris Cuomo got the professional equivalent of the death penalty for an offense that was a tiny fraction of the size of what happens up and down the line at Fox every forking day. And the Fox people will face zero consequences for their infinitely greater sins. But, hey, the liberal mainstream media got the Covington kids story wrong for 24 hours, so, what are you gonna do, right? Both sides? Bottom line, as a nation we're screwed
  2. They will have to pry My copy of Rabbit Angstrom from my cold dead hands
  3. Unless Jackson can double as a CB or LB I’m out. Got to use those 1 round picks as needs
  4. But it's AOL level dialup
  5. Combine that with the bake cookies followup...
  6. They completely rebuilt McCormick Place in the 90s if I recall correctly. Enlarged the area for conventions and events similar to the auto show. I don't remember anything about a dome.
  7. That's pretty much what I thought. The Bears were a non issue. Most of the folks who go to the games are from the burbs anyway.
  8. I completely forgot about the lot between the stadium and McCormick Place. It's been two long
  9. The Bears approached the City about needed repairs to the stadium. Broken seats, the field itself is terrible condition, other issues. They were basically ignored. Parking is not really an issue. The parking garage under Grant Park serves the area well. Most fans either take the train or the EL downtown anyway. I was in Chicago in the 90s. There was always a rumor about the Bears moving. The hot spot at the time was Gary, IN. The racetrack property is a great spot with adequate parking and a Metra Station close by. Meanwhile the Arlington Million will be held about 20 miles from my house.
  10. My wife wondered how many votes this whole kerfuffle cost Lightfoot in the recent election. I follow politics a bit more closely than her and thought she was toast without the stadium issue. Soldier field should go the way of Meigs Field, just expand Grant Park.
  11. For those inclined, a good documentary on the Bears impending move to the Chicago suburbs, Phil also does a look at the Rams newer facility. Phil Rogers was one of my favorite reporters when we lived there and does a good job. It does make you wonder what the sports area in downtown Detroit could be if certain people would actually spend some money...
  12. More footage you won't see from Traitor Tucker.... See thread
  13. Just think of all the time and energy wasted. If he only just returned the cart. Also think of the time spent by employees who do that. I used to get mad at the West Bloomfield Princesses who were to lazy to walk 10 feet to the cart corrals at the local Hiller's (now Kroger)
  14. Maybe it's because I spent over half my life getting up at 3:30AM. I'm not super crazy about the Sun still being out at bedtime. Then again driving home in the dark after a split shift (5:30-9:00) 3:00-6:30) gets old fast.
  15. Those guys went the way of Johny Unitas and Billy Kilmer
  16. And if that doesn't work you unplug him and start over. Reboot time
  17. Correction, Faux News is owned by a foreign national and Tucker Carlson is another Aaron Burr
  18. I think Goff is a good system quarterback, when the system breaks down I feel there he has flaws. Fumbles, interceptions, whatever. I'm a bad amateur musician. But I look at the team this way. Goff is Kenny G or a good session player. Like Bill Bergman (You Belong in the City), Mark Rivera (Billy Joel's guy). They are very good but no Mark Turner or Kenny Garrett who are probably the best currently at improvisation. If the Lions think they can draft the next Mark Turner, I say go for it. And in today's NFL you're going to need a QB who is able to improvise on occasion. No knock. I'd just like being prepared in case of emergency. We just saw in the playoffs what happens if your QB goes down. SF had it happen in their most important game of the season.
  19. Folks have been complaining about the "time changes" since they've been adopted. Maybe we just need to outlaw clocks
  20. True, but they're starting to crack down big time on password sharing.
  21. And if you actually take a look at what decent internet cost and combine it what you are paying for the streaming apps you realize you're spending a heck of a lot money. Especially once the introductory offers run out.
  22. This argument is going nowhere. Neither one of us is making the final decision. It's starting to feel like explaining to my 10 year old grandson why I don't want to stop at 5Below
