    NCAA tournament expansion…

    The game of basketball has already died. Thus, I couldn't care less what the NCAA (or, anyone else) does with those high-paced constant up-and-down three-pointer competitions.

    NBA expansion.

    We cannot have a thread that mentions the SuperSonics without at least one GIF of Shawn Kemp.

    Mississippi Queen

    My wife and I are visiting our daughter at Virginia Tech this weekend. Last night, we had dinner in downtown Blacksburg. . . and the "dating world" scene was in full force. LOTS of young women out and about wearing very small dresses (not sure whether "dresses" is the proper term; "mini-wraps"...

    OT: what are the most random things you watch on youtube?

    I'm now less than 1 year from retirement (March 5, 2027). Thus, I currently watch all things concerning retirement issues: 401k withdrawal strategies, Social Security strategies, pension strategies, health insurance, Medicare, required minimum distributions, capital gains, income tax, Roth...

    Let’s take a vote.

    Agree. I almost literally grew up in a basketball gym. My father was a basketball coach. There's no telling how many different gyms I've seen. The game that I knew and loved is now dead and gone, never to return.

    Softball Fans

    I played baseball for years. As a player, I never thought the game seemed to move too slowly. However, as a fan, I've often thought it was slow. Here's an idea I've had for speeding up a baseball game: one pitch for each batter. If the pitch is a swinging strike, a taken strike, or a foul...

    Right. I get your point. The differences between noise coming from the dugout in baseball and softball include: 1) the softball noise is absolute screaming that is coordinated, high-pitched, loud, coming from a group of 20 women all at once, and consistent (almost unending); and 2) the baseball...

    This. It drives me crazy too. Non-stop extremely loud screaming from 20 women all at the same time. STFU and simply play the game. The screaming is unnecessary.

    Watch this girl just take over in the Iowa HS championship

    1) WTF was #2 of the purple team doing on defense in the first part of the clip? She had her back to the inbounder, yet she failed to defend the only girl cutting to the basket. She just stood there and did absolutely nothing. That is some poor defense. And the intensity that she's playing at is...

    OT: The Masters

    Yes, that's right. When I make pimento cheese at home, I have some grated red onion in it. I got the recipe from "Southern Living" magazine, I think . . . and it's delicious (in my opinion). (edited to indicate the onion is grated, not chopped; and, to add the recipe) Basic Pimiento Cheese...

    OT: The Masters

    I'm seeing several of you demonstrating a distaste for pimento cheese. It's a fairly simple dish with just a few ingredients: shredded cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise, maybe some chopped onions, and various seasonings. What don't you like about it? (I'm just curious. I'm not trying to "get"...

    Haven't seen it mentioned but looks like DJT took out the Ayatollah of Rockn'Rolla........

    Right. Personally, I want our President to be an a**hole when the circumstances warrant it, and I want other countries to be a little scared of our President. If every other countrys' leaders LOVE our President, then we are getting 17'ed over on a regular basis.

    Has WWIII begun?

    Any time I hear mention of Pakistan, I think of the young lady that worked the front desk of my daughter's daycare (back when my daughter was a toddler, around 2009-2011). The woman who owned the daycare was Pakistani, and the front desk worker was her daughter. At that time, her daughter was a...
