    I think that they told Jennings, James and the other dude that whoever won that tourney earlier in the year would be the new host.  Thought it would have been good to announce it at the end but they probably didn't in deference to Trebek.

     

    RIP Alex.  Suck it cancer.

     

     

    I don't know about that.  I don't think Jeopardy James would do well as a host.  He's kind of weird and annoying.  I believe they have been grooming Jennings as well.  His personality is a much better fit and he has been showcased on the show over the years the most (including this seasons GOAT themed stuff).

     

    RIP Alex, you will be dearly missed by millions.

    The votes will need to be checked.  Votes will need to be certified.  Tapes from polling locations will need to be investigated.  There is already countless examples of fraud going on with video examples on twitter. 

     

    The courts are going to be looking at the constitutionality of adjusting voting rules for the pandemic.  That's the issue.  It has nothing to do with fraud (which has NEVER proven to be a significant  issue.  EVER.  And is not now either).  Love clueless posters who just spew miss-information so convincingly.

     

    Oh...but there is a video of it on twitter....Yeah, seems like a legit source of truth.  And even if, it would take 10s of thousands of fraudulent votes to swing anything.  A grand scheme of it, that is.  Not a few twitter videos that may or may not be real.

    I have not seen this discussed much.   The Bills scored at the beginning of the 4th to go up by 7 points, 23-16.  A 2 point conversion makes it a sure 2 possession game.   Hit the XP and if the Raiders score they go for 2 to tie, if you miss the XP and the Raiders score they go with the XP to tie...

     

    A minor nit in the grand scheme of things this year but I see no argument to not go for 2 there.

     

    The chances of converting the 2-pt conversion is much less than the chances of converting PAT to tie it.  Since the 2pt conversion rate league wide is slightly below 50%, it makes more sense for us to kick the PAT and go up 8 since it would be less than a 50% chance we would convert (on average league wide) and also a less than 50% change they would convert to tie if they were down 8.

     

    Earlier in the game it could be argued to always go for 2pts since the expected points per attempt on average are slightly higher than that of PATs league wide.

  4. Get off social media, stop watching the news.  Trust me.  If this stuff is affecting you this much then you should distance yourself from it.  I stopped doing social media for the most part a couple years ago because of all the negativity.  It has changed my attitude completely just by not seeing it all the time.  And “news” media purposefully generates conflict to get higher ratings.  Its proven to lead to higher rating and they take advantage of it.

     

    Anyway, im pumped for the season.  Cant believe its only a week away.  Once it is all of the sudden here, its gonna be just like any to me except this year i have higher hopes.

    Who could’ve guessed that the guy who flipped Seattle fans the bird after getting injured two seasons ago would cause a problem on a new team?


    Absolutely not at all what he did.  He flipped off the organization.  He didnt want to play without an extension and the security it offered.  The organization refused.  He decided to play anyway and he subsequently suffered a serious, season ending injury.  Nothing at all to do with fans.

    I disagree, I would not expect a video to become public in either fashion but since the massage, if it is on the level would not require nudity, then a video camera in the room should not be disallowed.

     

    Unfortunately, you do not determine what legal standards are as I would love to see him busted.  But that is what it is, typically.  They either need to have a specific reason to be recording you (not just running a camera line continuously for every client 100% of the time) or there has to be a "reasonable expectation" that you would be recorded in said scenario.  Despite what you feel is "reasonable", most people would not consider cameras in a massage parlor private room to be reasonable, thus the standard.

    I am not seeing where this is unreasonable search- it is a public business and there is no assumptions to privacy when out at a private business. This line of thought would state that someone stealing a car from a dealership has a right to privacy 

     

    There is a "reasonable" expectation of privacy at a massage parlor.  There is not one in a dealership parking lot.

  8. I stopped watching NASCAR about 10 years ago.  Its so stale it seems.  I cannot stand almost every race ending with a yellow flag restart.  I can't stand how races are broken into segments.  I can't stand the playoff system.  Just race X number of laps and whoever wins after that many laps wins.  Just add up points to determine the champion at the end.  Why ruin something so simple that worked for so long?

     

    In the last 2-3 years I have started getting into Formula 1.  In my opinion it is so much more enjoyable.
