  1. Agreed. If he comes back, I think it would only be to play for the Bucs. If they're in contention midway through the season (as long as Brady is healthy, they well be), I think it's all but guaranteed that he'll be back.
  2. He's the Herve Villechaize of Chinese porn.
  3. I don't think Badosa has lost a set, so that would have been a tough one. But yes, Swiatek being gone would certainly not have sucked if Pegula kept advancing. Total bummer.
  4. I kept waiting for the Facebook post!!
  5. You spelled "wrote" wrong!
  6. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34168816/what-bobby-bonilla-day-explaining-why-former-met-gets-paid-119m-every-july-1 Mets aren't the only idiots (but they are the biggest). How rare is this arrangement? Bonilla last played for the Mets in 1999 and last played in the majors for the Cardinals in 2001, but he will be paid through 2035 (when he'll be 72). Here are some other notable deferred-money contracts, courtesy of ESPN Stats & Information's Ryan Milowicki: • Bobby Bonilla (again): A second deferred-contract plan with the Mets and Orioles pays him $500,000 a year for 25 years. Those payments began in 2004. • Bret Saberhagen: Will receive $250,000 a year from the Mets for 25 years (payments also began in 2004; this was the inspiration for Bonilla's deal). • Max Scherzer: Will receive $105 million total from the Nationals that will be paid out through 2028. • Manny Ramírez: Will collect $24.2 million total from the Red Sox through 2026. • Ken Griffey Jr.: Will receive $3.59 million from the Reds every year through 2024 as the deferral from his nine-year, $116 million deal signed in 2000. • Todd Helton: Will get $1.3 million from the Rockies every year through 2023 as the result of $13 million deferred when he signed a two-year extension in 2010.
  7. Interesting topic. I took a quick look at Serena's grand slam stats and tried to determine success by age. It looks like between 1999 (18) -2008 (27), she was either champ or runner up in 12 grand slam finals. Between 2009 (28) - 2019 (38), she was either champ or runner up in 21 grand slam finals.
  8. That's an odd one, for sure. Most speculated Boston, which nearly happened. Maybe it was wishful thinking on his part because he didn't want Rodriguez in the AL East/against the Blue Jays.
  9. Yeah, I screwed up. She'll meet the 4th seed in the semis if all top seeds win.
  10. Geddy is a HUGE baseball fan, which makes him even more awesome. Everything about the guy is just great. This is an absolutely amazing experience!!!
  11. I'm 51 and I can pretty much guarantee I'd be right around that one minute mark, too!
  12. Four times with her in one day? That kid is a ***** rock star!
  13. ick Kay oxing Bay?
  14. Enormous. Jessie Pegula will face her third straight unseeded opponent (Petra Martic) in Round 3. In Round 4, she is likely to face Elena Rybakina (17), who is up against an unseeded opponent. Winning that would likely pit her against Iga Swiatek (1) in the Quarters.
  15. Sounds like someone gave him some water.
  16. You are crazy. You get WAY more done working from home. At the office, when you go to get a cup of coffee: You head toward the coffee machine, on the way, you get stopped 5 times for either small talk or work talk. You finally get to the coffee machine ... notice the pot is empty ... you make a pot and wait. You finally get to pour your cup of joe and you engage in more small talk and finally head back to your office. On the way, you get stopped a few more times for talk, talk, talk .. then finally get back to do some work. At home, when you go to get a cup of coffee: You head to the kitchen. Pop a K Cup in. Wait one minute. Grab your coffee. Then go back to work. Same goes for lunch and breaks!
  17. Who wrote this for you? There's not a goddam chance in hell that you could spell volunteers, continuously and solemn correctly. In one sentence, no less!!
  18. Bless your little heart.
  19. I have no worries. I'm a made man. Don't ask me what I'm made for, though.
  20. But are they really that organized. I feel like they all end up getting caught because they make mistakes.
  21. Since I guess we're technically brothers now, I'll be nice and bring this conversation to a quiet end. Because we are family.
  22. I wholeheartedly disagree with you. This was a great movie, IMO.
