Seems appropriate for the playoffs....

Never mind, misread the script

Watch Phil block the FG

Since about 90% of the current channel lineup on cable is basically crap the business plan (as well as the long standing cable monopoly) seems to be working for some. The fact that I need to pay approx $150 a month for enough bandwidth for decent internet service and have to put up with their basic service selections is ridiculous.

The railroad should be forced to pay for every home affected, along with relocation fees. That would still be less than what they are paying for their corporate offices in Georgia. Not to mention their lobbying contributions the last 20 plus years. I've hated them since they slinked out of Roanoke, Va 50 plus years ago.

I agree totally. Why should I who live approx 2 1/2 - 4 hours from teams I don't care about have to put up with the whims of one team (which owns 2/3 of the broadcast network). Especially since the games are carried over a monopoly owned cable/internet system charging exorbitant rates.

BTW, was reading about the description of the Chinese balloons. A lot of antenna rays looking for signals, powered by solar panels. I immediately thought of the stories about FCC vans driving thru neighborhoods back in the day looking for pirate radio stations, or 12 year old boys (mostly) who had their own radio setup (enhanced from a store bought kit). The fact that once the balloon was spotted and we tracked them using our own spy planes probably gave us more knowledge than shooting it down in the middle of Nowhere, MT

If they actual read the history instead of believing the myths.

I don't how drastically things have changed in recent years. But entities like Fox and CNN are basically cable as opposed to stations that air programs from say CBS, NBC, Fox (local stations, the Simpson, NFL games) over the air. FCC regs at one time regulated what they considered "offensive" content like nudity and profane language. Cable isn't covered legally if I remember correctly. Going back to the dark ages, Morning Zoos walked a finer line than say shows on satellite stations like XM and Sirius.

Kind of a big thing around here. Colonial Williamsburg will be moving the Bray School building from near the William and Mary campus to a prominent location within the Historic area. The Bray School is the oldest building set up to educate Black children in the 1760. The school taught both free and enslaved blacks. https://www.colonialwilliamsburg.org/learn/research-and-education/architectural-research/williamsburg-bray-school-initiative/ They are physically moving the building back to near its original spot and will hold a ceremony tomorrow afternoon. Among the dignitaries speaking will be the Governor. The very same Governor who ran a major part of his campaign speaking out against CRT. Should be interesting. I hope he wears an appropriate vest for the event.

I learned a new term today...STROAD. They're just about everywhere.

I will say she is correct about one thing. The political dividing line in the US is a choice between normal and crazy.

Did anybody actually watch Sarah Huckabee's "rebuttal" last night? From what I read it seemed like a Festivus like airing of grievances comparable only to Bobby Jindal's and Marco Rubio's oratory. Not to mention calling out the entire party by saying they need younger and more hip leadership. (I guess that makes her old boss happy) Does anyone vet these speeches? Or is it open mike night at the QOP Improv Club?

Interesting thread on the selection of thde"Designated Survivor". TBH I thought they had a lottery...

Buddy's Pizza

So 4 days in a dark house. I'm guessing lots of 'schrooms...

Since he lost his primary to Trumpers in his district I would assume Meijer to be a longshot unless thimgs change. Of course it depends on competition. He could qualify as a recipient of Koch money
