too often the sequence becomes a lead off double being followed by 2 strikeouts and an easy fly ball
Welcome to Cincinnati! Would you like a 3- 4- or 5-way?

I guess in some ways, this is better than just being the Buttfumble guy?
I'm not certain what legal grounds they might have to pursue Fox. Obviously, you go after the party with the deepest pockets, and who is most likely to settle, but if I was Fox, I'd fight this tooth and nail. I guess Sanchez was only in town as part of his broadcasting job, but (i) without being certain of the circumstances, he wasn't at the location of the fight as part of his job; and (ii) his being drunk should negate any connection to being "at work" unless Fox was feeding him booze, and it likely also voids any insurance policy they have on him.

When I was in the casino biz, I would make one parlay every week. My brother and I would each put in $5, and we'd bet the winner of the Monday Night Football game and the over/under, just to keep us engaged. Even that simple 2-leg parlay was a consistent loser; I think we won maybe 20% of the time.

Here I go sinking like a stone. Reds eliminated from MLB playoffs, Burrow injured and the Bengals getting stomped. All seems right with the world.

The fact that a player who is only arguably among the top 10 in the game today turned down the opportunity to be the highest paid hockey player ever is bizarre. He's no McDavid, Kuch, or MacKinnon.

We see the same shit - but to a far lesser degree - here in Reno. We have one rink owned by a nonprofit. Parents who disagree with coaching and league management decisions, or who want their kids to level up, are forced to travel to South Tahoe (1+ hour each way), Roseville, CA (~2 hours) or Vacaville, CA (~2.5 hours). When they do that, they are blocked from attending in-house hockey academies and from getting ice time for private lessons. Of course, our rink does it out of territoriality rather than pure cynical profit motive.

Something very strange happened with my picks last week, as there is no way I would have picked against the Bengals in any week, let alone locked them to lose. Couple other selections seem counterintuitive, as well. Doesn't really matter, as I've been out of the running since about Week 3, and there is a very strong chance of user/bourbon whiskey error.

I gotta be more careful when I review my picks. Somehow, I had locked the Pats over the Dolphins las week instead of the other way around. Maybe I can get Rudy Giuliani to prove my picks were tampered with?

I used to run into Pete occasionally growing up outside of Cincinnati--he lived in the town next to mine that was zoned all residential, so he had to come to my town to shop. You'd always know Pete was around because he drove a bright red Porsche 930. Dude was a hell of a competitor and ball player, but he was dumb as a bag of hammers.

If we're voting, I see no problem with either of you getting your picks in at 0-0 of the 1st period. But I'm a bit of a jackass, and rcade may have realized that at some point in the last 18 years, so my vote is of limited utility.
