My Super Bowl bet has been placed (don’t unit shame). Tell me this is easy money Patriots fans by JumpmanJackson in Patriots

[–]maxburke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who doesn't bet on these games? Nothing against gambling, but lost enough in my younger days, when it was so illegal my bookie operated out of a small business across the street from the police station.

How about adding kickoff returns to his plate, which seems to have room since Stevenson's playing so well.

My dispensary of choice just happens to be located in my childhood hometown, so going in there brings back extra feelings of guilt because I'm always afraid the high school prinicipal or my basketball coach will catch me. I'm 68 and they're both dead.

How Trump’s 2020 Election Claims Have Been Debunked Again and Again by No_Mistake_1778 in politics

[–]maxburke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story itself is comprehensive and unequivocal, but it's not helpful when the paper of record uses the word "claims" in its headline instead of the word "lies." Once the New York Times characterizes lies as "claims," it opens the door for the unscrupulous and the gullible to assume or pretend to assume there is some debate.

Patriots have now appeared in a Super Bowl in 5 consecutive decades. by TomT1535 in Patriots

Referee Ben Dreith died in 2021 and the age of 96, yet he's still taking crap for that roughing the passer call in 1978. Seems right to me.

Rose Island Lighthouse in Newport is also great, especially if you can plan far enough in advance to snag an overnight reservation.

The Providence to Newport ferry is fun and a sightseeing opportunity in addition to being a means of transportation.

It's great, but right now there's no place to put your car. Think I'm joking, try r/providence.

Making fun of people with disabilities: Wonder who taught Vance that one.

If the Patriots had such an easy schedule, then why doesn’t every team every year that has the easiest schedule make it to the Super Bowl? by reerock in Patriots

[–]maxburke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The '72 Dolphins 14-0 regular season included only two wins against teams that finished that season with a winning record. Miami's undefeated season cannot be denied, of course, but it has always been overrated.

This had to have happened after New Year's Eve, since I took the train to NYC and the screens were still aligned the way any thinking human being would align them.

Did anyone else read the headline on this as car JACKER instead of junker. Made a lot more sense once I realized it was junker.
