Amazon getting an NBA package is awesome (for me). Hope NBA can wrestle the remaining rights as well.

The whining is never ending. 

Embiid should have been tossed early. That's the only thing I'd bitch about. 

I went to the Nugs/Lakers game 2. Most insane live sporting event I've ever witnessed. I don't really understand LeBron's bitching after  regarding reviews. He doesn't like the process all together? The stopping of the games? That is annoying, but they got the calls right after the reviews.

They definitely did not get the calls right, which is why he was complaining. The D-Lo one is the one he actively complained about, and it makes no sense and the explaination is horrible. It sets a precedent for the league to just involve punching players lol.

I think they will benefit by the Sox, and lesser extent the Royals and Tigers, and Twins aren’t this bad, but also won’t be great. 

I think, as of now, 90-92 wins is what I’d expect — and will be good enough for the division by 5+ games. 

Rotation is not good enough for that, imo. 

Laureano needs to be a straight platoon player with Brennan. Other than that, not much to criticize Vogt on.

Manzardo should be ready and up very soon as well…

Siesta Key and Captiva are beautiful places.  Very laid back and family friendly in the sense that there aren’t drunken 23 year olds everywhere.  Great beaches, awesome restaurants and relatively quiet.

Captiva has not fully recovered from hurricane, fyi.

After living in Holland for 6 months, I embraced dipping my fries in mayo.

I dont do straight mayo with fries, but give me a flavored aioli and I am there. Garlic, Chipotle, Jalapeno, Pesto, Rosemary, Spicy Lemon would be my favorites. I see those on a menu, I am basically ordering whatever they accomodate as at least part of the order. 

Pickles suck. I don't even like them on the bun giving off that nasty juice to soak in. I do like a cucumber in a wrap/salad though. 

Mayo is the best, and I have no idea how people do not enjoy it as a condiment. 

...I guess I am hated and loved by Justin on this one.

We ender up at Watercolor this year, but Siesta Key was our second choice. Have heard amazing things about it. Our 5/3 year olds swayed to Watercolor - which caters to young kids more.

We did Phoenix/Scottsdale for a long weekend in February. Just got back from Watercolor Florida. Up to Wisconsin for a long weekend. Will be in Charlotte for a wedding in December. 

There is no defense for Reggie's stance. But IF THERE WAS ONE, I think a player committing a foul on a 3pt attempt and the 3 going in is higher than time running out on a missed FT LOL. But that is because players are idiots.

In reality, he had to have thought it was a 1 pt game, realized it was 3, and then just went with it anyway. Because up 1, it makes sense. Go up 2, miss on purpose as a full court heave to lose has a much less probability than a make, advance with a pass before clock starts, making a 3 and winning in OT.

I'd pay $12/year to not see these threads.

I'd pay $120. 

I also suggested an option to be able to hide threads, but forget why Justin said no.

I'd add Linkedin to your list.  I know you've kind of "got to" have it in this day-in-age, but I find it miserable.  I try to stay off of it, but one in awhile I start scrolling.  What a horrible and fake place it is.

I have it, but havent opened it in about 5 years. I do not network thru there (of course, I have been at current job for 10 years). But when/if I ended up leaving, I would just reach out to people.

Egocentric daily social media posting.  I know people who update their "friends" and the world on every mundane detail of their life.  People actually think that other people are out there waiting for what they have to say next, when in reality the likelihood of people hoping they DON'T see your post today is higher. 

This just makes me wonder why people are on Social Media to begin with. I got sucked into Twitter for a class assignment in 2009 and I havent been able to quit. But I deleted FB about 10 years ago and I have never signed up for TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. Feels like I am one of the few who have dodged all the bullets of misery that come along with it.

I also have never thought someone looks weird in a baseball hat. Even if they look weird, I assume they wear it for shade -- which is the only real time I wear one.

Stuff for sure annoys me in this life, but very little about pop culture. Mostly because it usually revolves around people enjoying themselves and I could not care less about that. But, the autotune being so prevelant in music hurts my soul.

The challenge system in minors right now is flawless (it is early). I cannot wait until we get that. 

That sucked. Looked like it was going to be an all time back nine, and then 3/4 collapsed on Amen Corner. Oh well. 

Augusta National has over compensated a bit to combat the distance --mainly hole 13. 13/15 seeing 5(??) total eagles this week is too hard. I want the days were the O/U was 15.5 for the tournament. Don't need to see wedges into 13, but long irons and woods/layups wasnt fun and hurt the product in the end.

No problem! It’s work, but honestly something I really enjoy. And it’s a relatively well oiled machine at this point. Super fun even though I never win ha

Oh I notice. It drives me as nuts as Shaka does.

…but I must admit I missed the touching last night, and was mystified they called out of the coaches box on him. Then saw the replay, and laughed as hard as I have in a long time watching a sporting event. What on earth was he doing!??!! Llol
