Legit question, are polls broken because people no longer have home phones? Seems like that's the obvious answer but I assume it must be something else because "experts" are so confused as to why they are terrible.

I saw a television piece about polling and how many phone polls do not use cell phones numbers due to the fact there is a law that prohibits allowing auto-dialing of cell phones. Unlike home phones where they can upload a phone list into a computer program that can quickly dial through numbers, connecting only when someone answers, cell phones must be manually dialed. This causes those polls to cost nearly 4 times more in manpower.

So yeah, most polls are junk

I think a lot of people who were planning on voting for Trump wouldn't admit to it or - like CoolCat said - wouldn't respond to pollsters.

Trumps first move should be kicking Brady out, America immediately becomes better and is the first step to being great again.

Yeah, I was worried about ol' Ron last night. I couldn't sleep and made the mistake of turning on the Facebook machine. Wow.

We need to bind the wounds of division, per our President elect. I mean, right after we round up all of the hispanics and Muslims in the country and ship them back to their country of origin. Which is surrounded by a massive wall. That they, of course, paid for.

This gonna be covered on Periscope or what?

He sent me a nice PM apology this morning, lol, in addition to his public one. Good enough for me, always really liked the guy.

Some people just turn into complete loons when it comes to politics. I do it with sports, so whatever, I guess. At least sports are actually really important though. :)


--Had to settle up with Tomlin...again. Even threw him a $25 extra 'tip', he earned it.

I couldn't help myself after about 15 sky is falling status updates. He finally went with simply HEARTBROKEN so I responded with, "You can always visit her in prison." He predictably melted down and threatened to unfriend me. He officiated my wedding and I've known the guy for a decade.

[laughing]
He jumped down my throat about a month ago for making a joke in his time-line. Since then I'm not going to lie I was hoping Trump would win just to see the reaction and it didn't disappoint.

Same, lol.

I love Ron, but he flat out lost his **** last night. I almost felt bad about egging him on.

Hillary on suicide watch? I mean, her legacy is gonna be "you lost to Donald Trump."

Overly passionate fandom is always interesting to observe from afar, particularly when you're not emotionally involved. Certainly one of the highlights of watching/listening to the Paul Finebaum Show for me. Callers go completely beserk and act a fool.....and then you realize "man, I probably look that stupid when following my team, too."

Fan = it's short for FANATIC, you know.

Lost in all this is the passing of recreational marijuana use for those 21 and over in California, Nevada, and Massachusetts. So now you can buy a massive joint after you party all night in Vegas/Boston. So, you know, small victories.

So these news peeps gone to bed yet? Catch a cat nap in the breakroom? Poor Bret Baier looks like he's strung out.

Pussies? Yes. But students will do anything to get out of an exam. That's pretty standard.

Would some of you politards kindly see yourself to the door? I hate the GYERO kiss-asses, but I don't really want to see political arguments from lurkers (myself included). The rest of you sorta earned your say/spot.

Anyways, is SFA any good after losing Walkup and some other Seniors? Wouldn't mind seeing a good warm-up before Wednesday's match-up.
