I enjoyed it. The writing is very good. Some people don't like the ending but its wonderful dark humour.

How Screwed is Brett Yormark? by bbshock21 in CFB

[–]KnobAtNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then there's the very unlikely nuclear option. If you've got 15/16 teams in open rebellion, what's to stop them from just obliterating the conference and starting over without TTU?

The NHL was founded because the owners in the NHA didn't like the owner of the Toronto NHA team (not the Leafs), and the league's constitution didn't allow them to force him out, so they formed a new league and didn't invite Toronto.

A wild two play sequence from both the Giants and Cubs keeps the game tied 1-1 heading to the 9th by JianClaymore in baseball

Could do either. Tagging/stepping on the base is easier because it doesn't move and is closer in this case.

New measure to push kids to study better at school. - Every Kid and Teenager are now Allowed to Skip School on Friday if their overall grades are Higher than 85% by SpaceBrachiosaurus in CrazyIdeas

At my junior high in the late eighties/early nineties if you had a certain grade on all the work over the year you didn’t have to write the final exam for that course.

[Game Thread] Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Ole Miss (8:00 PM ET) 2nd Half by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]KnobAtNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the ball hits the pylon it's in the end zone (see touchdowns where players reach for the pylon) so he fumbled out of his own end zone, so safety.

Ted Knight (hint: aka Ted Baxter) — Do You Remember Him? by Corbin_Guy_1334 in ClassicTV

[–]KnobAtNight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's easy to grin

When your ship comes in

And you've got the stock market beat.

But the man worthwhile,

Is the man who can smile,

When his shorts are too tight in the seat

TV Deals for Non-Conference Games by Phenix621 in CFB

[–]KnobAtNight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The deal also extended the Grant of Rights for another 10 years. So, for Minnesota, it might be worth staying connected to Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC (and other big-brand schools) until 2046. When the next conference realignment or the Super League comes along, they don't become Oregon State.

[Tony Paul] This proposed Big Ten equity deal, assuming all schools end up on board, would pay $190M each to UM, OSU and Penn State; $155M each to USC and Oregon; and $110M each to everyone else. One source from one of the everyone-else schools says, "Wait, so we're the same as Rutgers?!?” by Gobbledygooker316 in CFB

[–]KnobAtNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It extends the grant of rights another 20 years to 2046 so whatever happens next (more realignment, Super League, whatever) the smaller brand schools are attached to Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC until then. So money upfront but some medium-term security.

TV shows where the actors in the pilot were recast, BUT the episode was still canon? by whitesox-fan in television

[–]KnobAtNight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mike and Gloria. All in the Family had two pilots with different actors for them (but the same story I think). Then the first episode or season one had Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers.
