Isn’t there some sort of radar system set up in the minors on balls and strikes. I was at one of the Independent League games in Utica a couple of years ago when the system was instituted there. The decision on ball/strike challenges was almost instantaneous

Nexstar is in the process of purchasing another 56 or so stations from TENGA Broadcasting many of them ABC affiliates. Flood the FCC with letters requesting they do not approve this merger as it waters down the competition in the market

By the time Roseanne was pulled off her show she had become a certified nut case. Anyone remember her disrespectful version of the National Anthem (convince me that wasn't planned in advance.) Did the obscene ball grabbing bit in public. I'm pretty sure she also made life difficult for show producers and the network. Prove me wrong

Several years ago when the Red Sox lost to the Mets in the World Series one of my former bosses asked his wife for a divorce. I'm not sure that was the only reason for the separation but the timing was interesting. That taught a younger me a lesson. It's only a game, a form of entertainment none of what happens on a professional playing field or even a high or college sport will drastically alter my life. Growing up as a Pirates fan, I'd be depressed for a few hours after things like the Pirates losing to the Reds in the playoffs, or really upset the night that they lost to the Braves in a walk-off. No one got killed. I still had a job, wife, son....that's been my perspective for a long while now. Same as when the Tigers lost to the Cardinals, Giants, Boston.... Watching the Tigers play like they have been the past couple of months has been frustrating for sure, but life goes on....there are much more important things

Please explain that to my lungs. Grew up in houses that had coal furnaces. One of my chores included emptying ashes and getting the coal into the basement. I'm not sure that was the primary cause of my ILD, there were a few other factors living in the 1960s and beyond...

So if the Rapture comes and Trump and Company is still here, what happens next?

One of the issues around here is growth in the Richmond exurbs that extend into our portion of James City County and New Kent County. Bringing in more large subdivisions. There is one across the main subdivision road from us that's expected to bring about 1500 homes into the area. That land was once owned by a now defunct hunt club. A large portion is preserve and will remain that way. Still a lot of growth and an issue for those want things to remain the way they were in 1980. There are a couple of farms up for sale, not huge but big enough for an industrial site or warehouses or more homes depending on what the county board approves. The old timers don't want homes, or warehouses or strip malls (we could really use a grocery store) or even solar farms. The reality is the original owners have either passed or wanting to retire and their kids have moved out of the area and have no interest in the property. My feeling is in the meantime or even in the long run a company like the company posted wants to lease or buy property for something that really isn't intrusive do it. I'd rather see that than another old house and outbuilding falling down along the highway.

I haven't been paying close attention. What time is the rapture? Should I cancel lunch plans and head to a bar? Is there a dress code? Can I wear shorts and my Madison quote T-shirt (If men were angels)?

I found their website https://cropamerica.com As an aside traveling thru the Dakotas and Montana this Summer there were a number of windmill farms cohabitating peacefully with cattle. Also thru southern Ohio

Got a Ref call!

Field goal puts them up by 10, but after yesterday's FG mess, I'm not sure

Another good play by Muhammad

Hutch!

I'm surprised you haven't found a coordinators job yet.

Didn't see Morton do a face mask or a bad pass, that drive is on the players performing.

YES!!! Great stop

98 yards, 10 minutes. Great ball control. Now let's see some defense

My wife worked, still does some consulting for Detroit Public TV. In June of 2020 they got a call from one of the local school systems about using one of their channels for teaching. That led to a collaboration with the other Public Stations across the state (all but Detroit owned by Universities) to form the Michigan Learning Channel, offering basic reading, math and other programs on one of their over the air channels. They also hired coordinators to work with the local stations, schools, libraries with supplemental tools for teachers and parents. It's gotten rave reviews five years into the project (my wife is no longer involved), as well as receiving bipartisan funding from the Michigan Legislature. I agree the educational system is a mess. It's not just the system, a large portion the problem also lies with parents who expect teachers to be baby sitters as well.

That would do it. Especially if it's community theatre. I had a similar experience with The Fantasticks. Then there was that dreadful experience in London where we endured a musical version of Tess of the D'Urbervilles. 😣

Just keep in mind Republicans made Jimmy Carter sell his farm and stopped brother Billy from cashing in on beer

Having spent time in the business from back to 1970. I just about to the opinion that media companies really don't need the sticks anymore. Edit We really need a nationwide initiative to improve and provide internet service for everyone. I think COVID made that clear, especially for rural areas and many inner cities. That's if we were serious about improving educational opportunities for everyone

For us it was two hours or so of guilty pleasure on a Sunday afternoon. Something we don't often do.
