Rodman would be able to contain prime LeBron a lot better than others did. However, Rodman wouldn’t be able to score much in a 1:1 situation.

Being able to hold MJ to 25 when he would normally put up 30 doesn’t do anything with you only put up 8 in a 1:1 matchup,

Advantage LeBron.

Born in ‘77 and a veteran of Woodstock ‘99 here.

Late 90’s culture was a complete rejection of an early 90’s PC movement (the one that the movie “PCU” was making fun of. Our humor could be described as “it’s not sexist/racist/etc…” if you’re making fun of everybody.

This the core where South Park, Chapelle Show, and the first few Eminem albums came from. This is also why reject the idea that we can’t joke about certain things now. And we were better for it.

Of course some people would step a bit too far, and they would he corrected in real time without any long term damage to reputation or social standing. This period ended at the dawn of Social Media where things stuck to your personal social record.

Regarding Woodstock. Angst wasn’t everywhere, most people were having fun. The biggest problem most were complaining about was that the concession items were priced like it was a NFL game, and the pricing wasn’t announced ahead of time on their website.

There was also a limit of how many supplies we can bring in. So unlike an NFL game where you have the option of not hitting up the concession stand for that particular 4 hours, we had to survive off of concession food and stadium priced water bottles in 90+ degree heat on a tarmac for 4 days.

For the record our group just abandoned our stuff and left out a hole in the fence mid-way through the RHCP set on the last day.

doesn’t seem to matter to the three servicing the airport right now

The three airlines servicing BTR literally have a different routing strategy (hub and spoke) compared to Southwest (point to point).

Hub and spoke service to BTR makes sense, enough people want to fly in/out of BTR, and if you’re flying to Baton Rouge you don’t mind the hub connection.

If Southwest flies out of BTR, where is it going?

As a fan of the Bears I hate it, but as a hater of Illinois politics I love it.

The Bears proposal to Illinois wasn’t even ridiculous. The Bears pay for the stadium, the state pay for the infrastructure and both sides come up with an agreed fixed property tax.

The Bears threw out paying $20 million/year for property tax, even liberal California is allowing the 49r’s to pay $9 million in property tax for Levi.

Now Illinois gets nothing, and then loses some of the money they were already getting (all of these visiting players now work in Indiana).

Not talked about here is there are technical limits these days of what can be played “correctly” at a halftime show.

The NFL requires most of the instruments be piped in which locks out most of the “we already have enough money” rock bands.

A band like Metallica would be culturally in line with both the Bay Area and middle aged NFL fans, however there’s no chance they play on a stage set up in 4 minutes (no sound check) with the instrumentals piped in playing unplugged instruments and 200 people dancing around a stage,

Pop,rap, hip hop work better for that environment.

Averaging the entire 21-65 year old age group dilutes the whole thing. They really ought to look at a very specific age and measure that.

Rerun the whole study with solely 45 year olds who don’t have another source of retirement income (I.e a Federal or state pension). There’s no reason to average a bunch of college juniors a military E-4’s just barely old enough to drink into a retirement savings study.

The CRJ 700/900 are ok but I prefer the Embrair 175. Hell the ERJ 145 is 1000X better than the CRJ 200.

Stabbing myself in the eye repeatedly with a spork is better than flying on a CRJ 200.

I don’t like the repeated an wildly swinging threats against “insert nation here” from an economic POV, but I’m all for Canada finally paying the price for releasing the CRJ 200 “Canadian Torture Tube” on poor unsuspecting American citizens.

1986 Mazda 626. At 100MPH you can visibly see the gas gauge drifting downward. That was about all that little 4 cylinder could handle.

no shite which is why it never should've been let out to begin with.

It died on a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling.

The NCAA walked into the casino and put it all on 00 that the Supreme Court would rule in their favor, after several straight decades of operating CFB as a “business” and not “amateur athletics”. There was plenty of of chances to get ahead of this and the NCAA just stuck their head in the sand.

Its hard to believe liberals can be that petty, but they are.

Eh, liberals don’t have a monopoly on petty.

The service academies are so much fun to watch play. The precision and the misdirection needed to stay competitive (with middle of the pack teams) is awesome.
