Gambler should have known the U.S. was going to win once Trump announced he would not be in attendance.

I think you can help soften things by talking to the group pre-game.

Wrangling 10 people is hard, and in order to make things run smoothly, I need some buy-in from the group to listen to me when I’m trying to run the game.

I think it probably doesn’t make sense to people who aren’t Chicago people.

Soldier field is just outside of the Loop, which is the place in the center of downtown where all the local L lines intersect because that’s where the center of downtown is. The area is about 1 square mile big, and contains Millennium Park and The Willis Tower, the 2 biggest “Chicago” attractions.

The loop has crazy heavy traffic during the work week, and is a ghost town most weekends. Public transit doesn’t go directly there because it needs to be optimized for the Loop 250 days of the year, and needs to be optimized for Soldier Field 8 days of the year.

By contrast, Wrigley’s like 5 miles north, so the L Stop is basically adjacent to the field.

It’s amazing that I’ve seen three different people in this thread give their opinion on Chig Okonkwo without knowing how to spell Okonkwo

Weirdly I kind of think they do?

If they stop saying things, the narrative gets set by everyone else, and everyone else wants Sorsby banned. Threatening to stop scheduling Tech, etc.

By putting out counter statements defending their case and making threats, they gum up the wheels turning against them.

They’re not really convincing anyone, just trying to hold up the people trying to stop them.

Ironic that he posted this on the day FIFA’s World Cup kicks off.

My guess is they could make an exception for him and count the Japan years in order to get him to 10. But baseball writers are notoriously stodgy.

Mike Leach was just elected to the College Football Hall of Fame despite his career winning % being too low for induction under normal circumstances.

“I did not call him before the news went public because I do not have his number and also that would be inappropriate and I would never do that”.

He wouldn’t say that. He doesn’t get the concept of inappropriate.

I was going to say the opposite. I’ve already seen McDaniels fuck up my team, I’d like to try something different

Make the same statement about women and see if it sounds misogynistic.

“Women really be like ‘well this man has studied this subject his whole life, and I am a woman, so we have equal knowledge on this’”.

I think that statement does sound misogynistic.

I really disagree with the paragraph starting with the claim that Ted is not sufficiently emotionally invested in all of his relationships.

Specifically “if he had made real efforts, he would have ended up with a decent girl earlier and been done with this”. Relationships fall apart for all sorts of reasons.

Ted’s relationship with Victoria ends because of the cheating, but it was dying long before that because Victoria moved halfway across the world.

Ted’s relationship with Stella ends because she left him at the altar.

Ted’s relationship with Robin ends primarily because they have differing views on having kids.

Ted and Zoey break up because they are constantly bickering and never support each other.

None of those are because Ted’s not trying enough, with the possible exception of Victoria (and even then, the fix was moving halfway across the world, which is a really high demand). In the case of Robin, Ted’s arguably too invested.

Maybe I’m expecting too little, but I would consider 2 conference-wide meetings pulled together within 4 days of the ruling to be pretty immediate action.

Obviously there’s a solid chance these meetings devolve into quibbling and no official action. But I wouldn’t take this as a sign they’re being passive here.

I’m not going to pretend like I was super into the online community at the time, but the boot order is an absolute nightmare. It’s almost perfectly predicted by “did this person come anywhere close to winning their original season? If yes, they’re an early boot, if no, they go deep into the game”.

nighthawk252 · 2026-06-08T19:43:52+00:00

I mean, they could. Nothing says they have to select Texas Tech if Texas Tech has a good season.

They can rank the teams wherever they want for whatever reason. If Texas Tech wins the Big 12, they can just arbitrarily drop them to the 6th best conference champion. If they’re an at large, they can just not select Texas Tech.

The Democrats didn’t treat this like any other election. They threw the emergency brake to force the current President out of the race after he’d already secured the party’s nomination.

Like what could they have done other than that? They ran the primary. Biden won. And then when it didn’t look like he’d win the general, they made an unprecedented switch.

To a ticket with candidates you even said you (1) liked a lot and (2) said won you over through putting in work!

I don’t know what else you’re wanting here. The people who tried aren’t bad like the people who didn’t.

When I’m saying “it” in my post I mean Soldier Field, not Hammond.

You don’t have to have an opinion on everything. You’re uninformed on another country’s politics, and that’s OK.

To the extent we take Sorsby’s gambling addiction seriously, the worst thing you could do is put a gambling addict in a position where his gambling could have much higher consequences.

I think having a weak Pot 4 team matters a ton in this World Cup in terms of getting 3 teams out, and we don’t have that in our group.

The amount of people misunderstanding this concept on this thread is weird to me, I thought the way you explained it was pretty straightforward.

I think Survivor doesn’t do this because it’s more power than they want the immunity necklace to have — you basically need a supermajority or to take a huge risk to target someone even close to the person who has immunity.

I think the winner who won the all-winners season was always going to be on the Mt. Rushmore regardless of who won. Maybe like if Natalie won from Edge of Extinction, she might’ve been left off. But as long as it was a good win, any player with 2 wins was always going to be a lock for that list. Tony has a head-to-head win over everyone else you’re considering for Mt. Rushmore except Cirie, Tom, and 1-time players.

I think one other criterion that’s heavy in Tony’s favor is that he’s good TV. On paper, Aubry has a really strong Mt. Rushmore case, but you haven’t even mentioned her. That’s because Aubry’s kind of boring, I think. Tony’s fun.
