I don’t know the current arrangement but tbeir original MLB advanced media group and its later entities ran a lot of NHL and nascar and other things. NHL network was run out of MLB studios. Maybe it still is? I haven’t paid attention lately but their web and streaming services had a wide net.

Because of an injury as a kid to my middle finger I can’t grip a bowling ball in the holes without it being painful. So I just always gripped the ball and chucked it. I’d hit about 150 regularly. When I was 13 a friend needed me for his league one weekend. I got on some Larry bird 3 point contest groove and had 6 or 7 strikes in a row. 230+. I shanked the 10th.

I’ve been voting since 1992 and have done nothing other than fill in a circle on a paper ballot.

THere was an awesome photo going around of them holding a young Dan Levy as a young toddler.

Wed is the hearing.

If it's any consolation that animal is only about 38% accurate.

Enjoy. What I love most is that these are people you shouldn’t like. But they are all awesome. I record the episodes off CBC and I can watch any random episode and it’s still fun.

It’s seasonal depression. We’ve not been above freezing in 2 weeks and no relief in sight. It’s snowed 19 straight days. The last few weekends I decided to make soup on either Saturday or Sunday to fill my time. Twice we’ve driven to twelve oaks mall just to move around and walk and be around peoole. I’ve been a member of our rec center for 20+ years. It was on this day 14 years ago I began going consistently. I would walk the track and listen to this relatively new thing called podcasts. Try a yoga class. The instructor is awesome.

I remember Pete Weber growing up. I had to also watch bowling with my dad.

On Apollo 14 the crew had a total of 15 min space time. Shepards Mercury launch. He was grounded early in Gemini but took a special surgery to fix his ear problem. Th other astronauts were not happy he got pushed to the front though he was their boss. The also had problems with the radar during the descent stage. An emergency software fix solved the problem in time before an abort. But some speculated Shepard wpuld have flown it without radar. He didn’t wait that long to go back into space just to abort.

She either auditioned or was already cast on SNL during the Ebersol years but that was also when he brought back Michael O’ Donoghue and he was especially ornery. The first meeting he talked of destroying the show so she bailed. She might have been too good for that show.

Jason Kelce’s wife…… I watched curling with my dad growing up. He loved it.

Curling is up next

I've not dug into any of this but I'm naturally suspicious of anything Epstein himself writes. First off, he appears to be stupid. Mispelling and poor grammar. He could be trying to document as much crap as possible to hold it over people and who knows what is true and isn't.

Macauley Culkin with a tear jerking tribute.... damn.

This is John Candy level. And not just because they worked together. Can't even begin to figure out her best work or my favorite. For a long time for me it was her and Teri Garr as the funniest women alive. Now I don't know....

We've discussed this before but I also don't like surveys presented as about the product/system but the questions are specifically geared toward the person helping you. It's a bait and switch. Then they brag about the product/system. "Yes, Marge was nice and did her best. But my problem was beyond her immediate ability to resolve and you didn't ask me about that."

In the premiere league are the clubs also partners? Or are they distinct? What I mean is... it's really not in any team's interest for another club to not do well financially. They're business partners. The competition between MLB clubs is artificial. It's not business competition the way it is between McDonald's and Burger King. It's more like two corporate owned McDonald's competing with each other on who can sell the most french fries or milkshakes.. then they "win".

That satisfies the only named jersey I have, barely. Steve Yzerman. I was 10 when he made his debut. I didn't set out to buy an Yzerman jersey but I had a $50 gift card for Dunham's and it was on sale.

that was my thought.

I got a "document not found" error.

and anything beyond 3 questions. We did a survey on our product with our customers in late 2025 and I was adamant with our marketing team about that. No requirements to write anything. Whenever I see that on a survey I close it out. We did the question you asked but at the end. And we emphasized that our goal was to make the product better for them. It's something these customers have to use in their job to do their job, so we don't have to necessarily 'sell' them on it. We wanted to make sure our time was spent on what they want vs what we think they want.

I dropped the hint last year that I don't want gifts, I don't need things. If someone insists just get me a good bottle of booze as it's not something I spend on myself. This year they got me $100 gift card to Rally House and a Tarik Skubal Tiger jersey. The jersey was too small as he sent us a text message asking what size my son wears when he meant me. And I don't particularly like the current home jersey due to the "D" on it, and the prominent Nike logo. I don't like names on them unless it's a certified Tiger, like Kaline or Trammell.... not someone who won't be on the team in 2 years. It's like walking around in a Scherzer jersey. And I'm not a fan of wearing white to the games as I don't want to get anything on it. My road jersey is fine. Yeah I know I've got a lot of rules. I gave the jersey to my son and with the gift card got a very nice and thick Wings sweater with some cool patches. Got a compliment on it last night at the game.

every time someone complains about 'fraud' in MN I think of this:
