In favor of a low payroll season or not? Great discussion to have in March if it's clear by then payroll will be lower. Until then it just sounds like crazy internet guy hot takes.

Should be winning these games by 70. If only they had better 3pt defense.

It is the Millennials part that is misleading the real cause is the demand for the trees. The article in the article actually has a better headline: Here's why your Christmas tree will cost more this year. The first is stating that Millenials are the cause for the cost of Christmas trees rising when in fact it is just the demand for the trees. It is just worded badly that is making it misleading. Changing the title to What is driving up the cost of Christmas trees? would have been better and less misleading as the article barely even touches on Millenials and it doesn't even make a link just a may be this is a reason argument. Well, that circle took you right back where we started. Millennials demand for real trees caused prices to go up. I mean, read the gynastics you just went through to say the same thing.

It's not that nobody "minds." Would love to have them all back, hate to see them go. If only there wasn't this darn problem called competition. I'm glad Stearns passed, none of those contracts would have been wise for the Brewers. Season doesn't start tomorrow, R-E-L-A-X. Hot stove league is just warming up. But fair warning, Stearns may not do something HUUUUGE. It may be a few deals that as a whole makes the roster better.

Funny you should mention that. While Giannis was sitting, Harden was still in the game when they were up 50 so he could get to 60 points. Still chucking 3s until the second they took him out.

I would say the Raptors, Celtics, and Utah games were good measuring sticks.

Thought the KFC one was hilarious. The Rodgers state farm commercials are all bad, I really don't even pay attention to them.

Yea, people complaining about the Bucks 3pt defense don't watch the NBA very much, it's that simple.

SUVs are not terrible for the environment, and safer to drive than cars.

G37 owner also. Loved that car! At the time, incredible performance and extras for the price.

Same things can be said about Arcia. Rather have someone who's no fun in the clubhouse who can rake.

Maybe you read the story wrong? He's not coming back to Milwaukee.

They did use the bullpen often, however. A deeper bullpen gave CC a whole lot of flexibility in managing a game in Sept., especially with pulling the SP earlier in games Wasn't any deeper than using the options game all season. Pomeranz was the difference in the bullpen down the stretch, not expanded roster.

That's a false narrative I see all the time. Brewers success late in the season had very little to do with expanded rosters. They rarely used any of the call-ups.

Boston is going to be tough, now that Irving is gone. But I will disappointed this year without an NBA title. Also, I can see the Clippers from the West. Leonard and PG haven't played much together yet, but they'll be full speed come playoff time. Bucks will likely need to make a strategic move later this season. Not sure what they even need quite yet, but they have trade pieces to use when the time is right.

As someone who has lived in 13 different cities/towns in 9 different states, including all of the big three (NYC, LA, Chicago) I'd put Chicago in the upper half. Don't know if you've spent a lot of time in the northeast, but it is WAY ahead of NYC/Boston/Philadelphia. The cost of housing in Chicago is dirt cheap for a city that size - a very welcome change from LA and NYC. The women are prettier than NYC/Boston/Philadelphia, that's for sure. The public transportation system makes it really easy to get around, second perhaps only to NYC. Yeah, it has it's fair share of douchebags, but there are douchebags everywhere (less douchebags in NYC, but that's because everybody is broke from the cost of living) and the douchebags are pretty much limited to the fratboys/sorority girls who grew up in the upper middle class suburbs of Chicago and never have lived anywhere else. There are plenty of people here who didn't grow up in the upper middle class suburbs of Chicago who aren't douchebags, you just have to avoid the general Wrigleyville area. And Chicago is driving distance from Wisconsin if you want to get away for the weekend. It's not utopia by any stretch - I'd rather be in Austin or Denver, maybe Nashville or Seattle (Seattle is getting expensive too, and my field doesn't pay enough to live in coastal CA), but I work in a fairly specialized field and there aren't many opportunities in those cities. I've never lived in the "Big 3" but have been to all 3 cities plenty of times. I hate Chicago. The people there are generally jerks. NYC gets that reputation, but it hasn't been my experience at all. But Chicago....doesn't matter if it's the city or burbs, upper, middle, lower class...most everyone is a jerk. Beyond that, I can't explain it, but I just don't like the whole "feel" of the area.

Pat C had 4 free throws all season. Steps to the line and hits two perfect free throws to ice it. Yea, I know, it's just free throws. But that was underrated and impressive.

Most of you are too young to remember how horrible American cars were in the 70s and 80s. Toyota, Honda, and others took advantage. You know what? American auto makers had to respond. That's how the market is supposed to work. I don't care where the car is made or assembled. We have two vehicles now, both American, fwiw.

First sentence I agree with. I would add "tonight" to the end of the second sentence, though. The Packers did not come to play tonight. I don't believe the 49ers are leaps and bounds better overall, though. I don't know what more you need to see. It's not all that the Packers sucked. The 49ers deserve credit for being in Rodgers' lap all night and completely shutting us down. They've had two weeks to prepare for tonight. Two weeks. They had their "did not come to play" night against the Chargers just a few weeks ago. If they were out all night partying in California again then they clearly do not take their craft seriously enough to have any sustained success anyway. That aside, I don't know how anyone could witness this game and claim the gap between the two teams is not significant. Because you've watched enough NFL games over the years. Are the Ravens clearly a better team than the Patriots? Are the Falcons better than the Saints? We knew before tonight Niners were better. But one game doesn't tell the whole story. Granted, it's pretty clear Packers will have a hard time beating them in playoffs.

Very surprised they didn't come up with anything new on offense after the bye week. Niners have an outstanding defense, no doubt. But I didn't see the Packers even try anything we haven't seen before. The other obvious thing is LB/ Dafety play is atrocious. Smiths are edge rushers, I don't mean them. But Martinez, Amos, anyone playing in the middle of the field is horrible. Finally ST rant. Is there another NFL where there is zero, I mean zero chance of having a big return? Meanwhile our pinter is consistently booming 30 yard punts.

The point will be to mock the boomer. Essentially the same as 80 other sitcoms where dad is the butt of the jokes.

Sorry, but that doesn't check out. Interest rates are at historic lows, and have been for some time.

Well, I think the guys on the barstools are often right. The difference is they're not going to be right as often as the front office on an NFL team will be. The Gary pick COULD be an example of so many other busts they drafted early for the front 7. Namely, convincing themselves they found a star who is underrated. It's politics. Some scout absolutely loves a guy, but has to sell him to others because he's not going to the GM alone. So you sell the athleticism, combine scores, etc. and viola you get a #1 draft pick. Sometimes those athletic freaks turn out, sometimes they don't. Sure seems like over he years the Packers scouting team hasn't been very good identifying front 7 talent.

Markus Howard throwing up as many shots as he can and hope for the best. So, essentially, PeaveyFury's game at the Y.
