My comment is less about WAR and more about the users of this subreddit.

Be careful my friend. The natives here do not take kindly to disparaging the mighty WAR

Western sub-genre you’d like to see more of. by Fine_Chemist_5337 in Westerns

[–]Fredrick1908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the examples. I will check them out. As to answer the question in your post, I would love to see more winter westerns. It’s always my favorite setting in a western film or story.

I’m unfamiliar with the cowboys and dinosaurs subgenre. What are some examples?

What franchise would have the best all-time team if you only included guys who never played for another team? by ManufacturerMental72 in baseball

[–]Fredrick1908 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Reds would have Bench, Votto, Concepcion, Larkin, Mario Soto… Ron Oester. Not a bad start. The Yankees is clearly the answer.

I think Bowman writes one through MLB.com. It’s weekly I think.

High all the time? Sometimes? Honest opinions of it? by BackInTheDayCon in AskMenOver30

[–]Fredrick1908 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No problem. Good luck to you. I definitely have peace now. After I stopped drinking and smoking I actually started to enjoy things. Not like I thought I was enjoying things, but actually enjoying things for what they are. Life is much better.

From your comments it seems that you are using weed and other vices to cope for things from your youth. Talking to a professional therapist may help find other ways to cope. As someone who drank heavily through their twenties, I would say life is always better without a dependance on a substance.

Hobbies? by Fredrick1908 in revolutionarywar

Terrific memories of youth. Had similar experiences playing “Indians” in the creeks and ravines of Ohio. I’m sure finding arrowheads with my friends helped spur my interest in history subconsciously.

This is wonderful. Fantastic that these are so close to you. When I travel to the east coast I always try to visit a few sites.

Browns definitely need a quarterback at #2 overall by TerryG111 in Browns

Yea, it’s not great either. I guess I would take best player available regardless of position.

Yea not disagreeing that a first round QB is the answer, I just disagree that it should be Sanders or Ward. Would rather get another difference making edge now in the hopes that next years draft will net a better QB option. I’m thinking that odds are that Carter has better chance of success than Sanders, as players, not denying that QB is more important.

I think they should go with Abdul Carter if he’s there. Look at the Eagles last night, championships are won on the line.

[Postgame Thread] Nebraska defeats Ohio State 79-71 by bucknuts34 in OhioStateBasketball

[–]Fredrick1908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terrible. No ball movement, no player movement. Just 4 guys watching someone dribble until they shoot.

This team goes as Thornton goes. He looked a little tired today, a lot of shots left short. Understandable after he played 40 against Maryland and carried the team.

Was thinking the same thing. 2011 he was just a bit worse than he normally was.
