    “Chiefs unveil renderings of planned $3B domed stadium in Kansas”

    I was gonna say the opposite. One fewer open air stadium that I get to watch 0 degree games from the comfort of my cozy living room. That sucks.

    OT: Lucille Ball

    I wasn't crazy about The Lucy show (which was before my time...I'm talking about seeing repeats), but it wasn't because it was an old show from the 1950s. The Honeymooners is an old show from the 1950s and it's great.

    FC/OT: Bryce Harper employed to help FanDuel drain a ‘VIP’ out of almost $2mm…

    I've seen the Cameo website before. I thought it was pretty pathetic because when I saw it it was mostly Has Beens that'll make personalized Happy Birthday messages or whatever for $85. I got the impression that the amount of money the message makers make is significant to them. In other...

    FC/OT: Bryce Harper employed to help FanDuel drain a ‘VIP’ out of almost $2mm…

    They don't allow people to buy alcohol at 3 in the morning and in many places they don't allow people to buy alcohol by having it delivered to their home. For vices that people can become addicted to there needs to be some friction in the process. The idea that anyone can legally gamble from...

    Asking for prayers. For myself.

    All the best and prayers to you. You’ll be back on here in no time. If things go bad, everybody on this board will throw a challenge flag and the play will be overturned on review.

    I have no theme but did not want to miss the opportunity for a Jukebox thread.....

    Travis and Taylor tied the knot!

    I wonder how many of the guests flew into town on a private jet. By the way, you guys make sure you shell out 5-10 K more for your next car so that it gets a few extra miles to the gallon. You have to do your duty to help save the environment.

    The More You Know: Adam Schefter is partners with Robert Kraft in a gambling company.

    Most NFL teams are partners with gambling companies. Not only is ESPN business partners with the NFL, but the NFL actually owns part of ESPN. I don't think we can expect anything but fawning coverage of the NFL by pretty much all big media.

    OT: have you ever bought a car through Sam’s Club or Costco?

    Since we are on cars, let me ask another question. My current car is very old and it has regular halogen headlights. When they’re on bright, they shine farther ahead, but even when they’re on dim, they shine a fair bit ahead. However, in the couple new cars I’ve been in recently at night, the...

    No more boys vs girls

    BS. People at the top unilaterally REDEFINING biology, or unilaterally redefining anything, and then using all the societal power they can muster to impose that redefinition on everybody else, is always a big deal.

    No more boys vs girls

    How many of you have played organized sports in your life? OK, next question, how many of the teams you played won championships? So if you played baseball, football and basketball for five years each, that’s 15 years. So even if you won two championships, that’s only two out of 15 times. A lot...

    No more boys vs girls

    First of all, we don’t know how many due to there are because in a lot of localities, where it is not frowned upon they will necessarily report it. But secondly, over and above the issues of the dudes taking girls spots, is the issue of the people at the top redefining what a man and a woman...

    OT: have you ever bought a car through Sam’s Club or Costco?

    It’s not automatic highbeams. It’s head lights that, instead of being low beam or high beam, have a whole bunch of small individual lights and the car can figure out when to light or not light each of them up. So if you’re driving and a car is coming from the other direction, the bright lights...
