  1. I have the feeling that McDonald's, etc. would love to use kiosks and as much automation as possible. I also wonder if they have feared a backlash at cutting a major part of their workforce in lieu of technology. But, now this whole thing has provided them the cover to do it. Talk about be careful about what you wish for!
  2. Has Mel Kiper chimed in with the grades yet? What was the #1 pick?
  3. I hardly even watch college football, and it's ridiculous - but I said just take any of the three USC linebackers. In 2008, I saw one minute of Oregon in the Holiday Bowl (I think). Ngata got hurt on the first play I saw. I said that's who we need to draft..........We got Whitner instead. I think everybody overthinks it!
  4. Two in labor on the same day is pretty impressive. And, the article alludes to more - I wonder what the count is up to.
  5. He also smokes a LOT of pot
  6. Yes, like I was saying upthread, I have not been hearing them and William C. Rott and the other nonsense that that marketing company was putting out. They are all the same ad, that totally insults your intelligence. If I remember right, BTW, it was with a K - Komforteering! I had to look that up back then, because I had no idea what they were singing. It was driving me nuts. Turns out they made up the word!
  7. "He did what other 21-year-old, multimillionaire athletes might; he got two women pregnant." Really? And, they go into labor on the same day.
  8. I changed the channel for good when he went on one of these rants. It was a Monday in September or October. Out of the box - he's raving about how great some football game was - and saying and We're supposed to be talking about a bunt? A bunt?!? It was some controversial play regarding a call about a bunt. I don't remember the particulars. But, I remember him doing it in such a way that anybody who really isn't paying attention to what he is saying would be like Oh yeah, he's right. Colin's so smart. Football is great. Baseball sucks. It was all in his asshat delivery. "A bunt?!?" Where football has the same kind of thing every single game. Stopping the clock for minutes on end to analyze this or that. To analyze "A toe? A toe on the ground?!? We're supposed to care where a toe is?!?!?" I'm so glad it was his football is king, so I'll ride that and mock out baseball continual ranting that got him canned, even if indirectly. to say so does not make you condescending. It makes you observant. Everything he says is said in a condescending way.
  9. The video is 1:56 long?!?
  10. He's such a great guy. And, will have a great life no matter what. Can't feel too sorry for a guy who used to go out with her:
  11. Yeah, we do have a misunderstanding. I know he's an !@#$ and you don't. It's one thing when Larry Felser would say on his radio show at the beginning of the season - KIng Football is back. It is king. But, he didn't tear down baseball or the other sports at the same time. Cowherd tears down Buffalo to prop up LA, tears down baseball to prop up football, tears down loyal fans to prop up bandwagon fans of winning teams. And, we'll see how long football is king - I know very few high school kids who play it, while all of them I know do play other sports. If Cowherd lasts as long as this evolution will take, he'll be proclaiming whatever sport is king then and tear down football. Because he's a winner! Big boy pants!
  12. Ratings? Are you !@#$ing kidding me. Look at the crap that's at the top of the TV ratings and music charts. Football, football, football, big cities, coastal cities. He's an !@#$
  13. I figured it was part of an anti-baseball pro-football rant. What an !@#$.
  14. Top news story Mike Oz ‏@mikeoz 1h1 hour ago Colin Cowherd, who was already leaving ESPN, gets booted a week early for comments about Dominican MLB players: http://yhoo.it/1HP0Epu
  15. I have noticed the tease they do now.
  16. I hated that Mets team. And, they had so much talent, they should have won more than one Series (or at least got back to it)
  17. So weird. I just heard a few commercials on GR and thought I haven't heard any of the super annoying ones from this marketing company lately: http://ofthesea.com/ William C Rott and Sons, Volkswagon of Orchard Park, and a few others that I know have annoyed people here (from previous threads). The jingles used to be right up front on this website, which of course is hard to remember. Now it was something sea, what was it? Finally found it. I hope they are out of the commercial business. They insult our intelligence, and it's basically the same format no matter the company. Stupid girl spouting nonsense that you can't even figure out. Annoying jingle. Then girl comes back with the lame kicker at the end. I'll take Granger and even the annoying Flo all day long over these idiots.
  18. http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/23/us/sandra-bland-arrest-death-main/index.html And, then I knew this type of thing was comiing: Kim Kardashian West ‏@KimKardashian 4h4 hours ago #MassiveCoverUp #WhatHappenedToSandraBland 12,796 retweets 15,735 favorites
  19. But, she was making plans! She would never commit suicide!
  20. Nice! I am so mad I wasn't there! Haha - I didn't notice that!
  21. Yeah, his input to 30 for 30 type docs on HBO should be good. The weekly show is definitely something I'm going to check out..............I'm looking forward to him getting back on the podcast wagon asap. I hope wherever his writing ends up, he has an editor (although I know that won't happen) who can get down his War & Peace sized columns and mailbags to something where I end up reading the whole thing instead of running out of time.
  22. i hope you're not a Bil Simmons fan!: http://www.si.com/more-sports/2015/07/22/bill-simmons-hbo-weekly-television-show
  23. Why is it no surprise that Watkins is a Cowherd fan??
