  1. Net neutrality, it's been nice knowing you.

      I mean, we didn't have it 3 years ago and I don't remember my bill being different.

      The price to access the internet was likely going to increase under net neutrality. Charter, Comcast, Verizon, etc don't really care about saving you money.  But now they can limit sites and applications that compete with their services. Cord cutters might not care for this in the future if you are on a service that is competing with your isp that also offers cable TV service or streaming service. 

       

      A lot has changed in three years.

      Cellular companies have already been experimenting by allowing you to work around their data caps with certain plans like Tmobile's Netflix streaming. Technically it probably violates net neutrality but Pai didn't care.

  2. The Senate is currently invoking the so-called "nuclear option" to end debate on SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch. It's a sad day for American politics.

      Check your history. This procedure is nearly 100 years old and was made popular in its current form by Republicans in 2005.

      Disagree. Republicans seem to have brought about the judicial dysfunction by blockading tons of Obama lower court picks, leading to the Democrats threatening to nuke the filibuster.

       

      Are they just supposed to accept that NO judicial appointments can be made PERIOD unless Mitch McConnell approves of them? Because that seems to be a major stretch of parliamentary procedure.

    4. ZRod

      Eh, so my history is murky, but the Dems have done it before under Obama, they continued the can of worms. If they would just take the high ground and not react the GOP would be a dead by now.

  3. Trying to picture a 30-pounds-heavier version of Tristan Gebbia running Scott Frost's offense. Hmm...

      Maybe it was more upper body strength? The shot put is a lot of lower body explosiveness. I drank a lot back then so that could be it too.

      It doesn't matter where most of his strength was. Throwing it 62 feet means you are a dude, and put together very well.

      Jurgens from Beatrice doesn't even throw it 60 ft

      Coincidentally, my three favorite clubs teams are from Germany (Bayern), England (Arsenal), and Italy (Juventus), so I guess my national team allegiances go hand-in-hand. I still haven't decided who I'll be cheering for on Sunday.

      Professional golf gets players from all over the world, and the travel required for them makes it challenging for the players during the pandemic.  PGA events and the golf majors also require a large amount of volunteers to help make the tournament run smoothly.  Yes, some of the volunteers wouldn't be needed if the tournaments were played without crowds, but having a golf tournament for just TV isn't as easy as it seems.

       

      Regarding local golf courses, I think they should be able to stay open, if the course and the players follow strict guidelines.  These include:  walking only, no entry into the clubhouse/restaurant, spacing out tee times, raised cups, keeping flags in, removing bunker rakes, etc.  Basically, anything that can be done to increase social distancing and limiting groups and passing of the virus.

      Certainly not easy, no.  But absolutely doable, yes.

      The necessary travel by the players and caddies would be foolish unless the current pandemic conditions greatly improved.

      Whatch the documentary Icarus on Netflix about the Russian doping scandle last Olympics. It's insane. Pretty much every athlete in every sports dopes, or should be doping prior to competition to be competative (not that it's ethical). Only the Russians have been ballsy enough to try to keep doing it during or just before competitions, and bypass or buy off the syste. I would guess over 90% of athletes cycle something at some point during training. 

    3. JJ Husker

      Not fair. I saw some burnouts doping in their car earlier today. Betcha those guys haven’t been banned from the Olympics.

  13. @johncanzanobft If Mike Riley had stayed at Oregon State… he’d be the leading candidate at USC right now. No question. Think on that. https://twitter.com/johncanzanobft/status/654037073372930048

      @zoogs EU has probably the toughest qualifications in the world.  CONCACAF is actually the easiest and we couldn't even make it.  You are right in the fact that the top 3 go and the 4th place plays a playoff type game against an Asian conference team, this year Honduras played Australia for the WC birth.

    3. schriznoeder

      Gianluigi Buffon is my all-time favorite player, and he officially retired from international soccer after the match. It's really sad to see him go out like this. 

    4. schriznoeder

      And I was right, Ventura has already resigned as Italy's manager. Take notes, Riley.

  18. I wonder how soon before BTN goes the HBO route and offers truly à la carte service (i.e. not tied to a cable/satellite/streaming service)? I definitely think there's a market for it.

      DirtecTV Now is the way I want to go but if we end up keeping Comcast I'll just add whatever streaming service includes BTN for the least $$'s. I'll keep working on the ball and chain. The big bonus would be if we lose that mind numbing Hallmark channel. Really tired of the fluff romance shows you guise.

      Play Station Vue has all the sports networks including BTN. We pay around 50 bucks a month but you will need a streaming device like a Roku

      @Junior - The Wikipedia post is hilarious. Almost as good as the one for Beck over the weekend - "Following continued poor coaching and play calling Beck was fired in 2014 . He is now rumored to coach a fantasy football team with Carl Pelini and John Papuchis.

       

      @C N Red - I saw that one too. Very interesting. Also one from San Francisco landed yesterday afternoon. The Niner's were playing at the same time, but perhaps David Shaw? I can dream!
