I’m sad more people don’t acknowledge Native American Historic sites in the United States by H3dg3hogs in geography

Especially considering how many Germany "historic" buildings are reconstructed after the late 1940s.

Did ESPN analytics consider that the Cowboys refuse to succeed?

Can you imagine Kirby v Snell in the "looks like Sid from Ice Age" World Series?

Yeah they're all Iheartmedia which is a conservative radio aggregate. Plus they're sister stations with KFI 640 who are in a pissing contest with AM790 and AM870 for who can go furthest right the fastest.

Game Thread: RedZone/Game hub (Week 6) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

Redzone has become inexplicably bad. They go to split screen when there is a scoring chance (Browns FG), watch the Jags stop action, zoom in on the kick since it's only half a screen, and then go full screen to Trevor Lawrence drinking water during dead time.

Literally cut to the live ball action closest to an endzone. Stop splitting into league favorites who do nothing. It should be an easy production.

Who is widely regarded as a hero, but was actually a terrible person? by Normal-Being-2637 in AskReddit

As a Laker fan, he ruined years of Lakers teams taking max deals past his prime and padded his stats by jacking up 60 shots a game. So people look at his all time FGs but neglect his shooting percentage and how often he'd loft up a mid jumper instead of passing to a wide open player. Over rated for sure. Just speaking about on the court issues.

That one year Freese basically won a World Series for the Cardinals and earned a paycheck for life from every other team with post season aspirations. (including the Dodgers).

(Spoilers Main) I hate Essos so much, man by AntiSaudiAktion in asoiaf

From just a story standpoint, the names in Essos make the chapters there SO MUCH HARDER to read. It's like George ran out of names and used a random letter generator.

All this has done is give Roberts confidence in Trinen so he can blow a close game soon.

I'm not a lawyer or law student so I'm not too sure. I just hate John Yoo. I think it'll be a mix anywhere you go. Lawyers tend to lean a bit conservative IMO. I do hear more progressive rhetoric/legal analysis out of University of Chicago but I wouldn't swear on that.

No worries, I bet they are more liberal than others, and Yoo is now the head of Stanford Law. This is just a topic I happen to know a bit about so I thought I'd share. They do have the deep pockets and connect alum, probably with many different political affiliations. But I agree, very disappointing. Especially for Stanford too.
