Then why make a policy that would elongate both the bag check process (lines likely 3x as long) on the front end and the bag retrieval process on the back end? Unless airlines throw massive resources at this to support it on both ends, that is the result. Sure they could charge for the carry on, but unless it is a universal decision, every business traveler (who they cater to, that is their biggest $ maker) will just flock to another airline.

They took a good thing and thought multiplying it was the answer. Jordan drops used to cause people to save up and go wait in line to buy them. It was an event. Now LBJ, Giannis, Luka, Tatum, Zion, Ja, and Devin Booker all have signature shoes. Nobody gives a crap.

They are lucky they have the agreements with the sports leagues as well as the top collegiate programs outside of a few. I dont have a strong opinion on Nike, but that would change the second UGA decided to go with Adidas or Under Armour. Oh hell no, have you seen the crap they put out? That new fly Nike polo for a new season was a thing. However, just like they did with their running shoes, they are opening the door for Onward and others to poach that market. They didnt see the fact that things changed and people will pay $150 for shoes or more than $70 for a comfortable polo. I try not to, but surveying the amount of Hokas, Rhobacks, etc out there, a hell of a lot of people will.

I got a $450 speeding ticket in Dublin 20 years ago for doing 12-13 over.

The stretch from Macon to Dublin, particularly the Twiggs County area is a cash cow for the state patrol. As someone who (sadly) drives that way often, I have to set my cruise control and just bear with it.

Didnt he officially change his last name to Freedom towards the tail end of his career and then claimed he was blackballed out due to his criticism of the league for their relations with China? He also allegedly had a bounty put on his head by the leader of Turkey for being critical of him also.

He is either really strange or really disliked by people in power. With the NBA being the benefactor for the WNBA, there is a 0% chance this happens on top of everything else.

Garrison Hearst. They surprisingly won a lot to a little.

My curiosity about this whole thing is that the MLB owners would need to be in agreement (at least a majority of them) for these proposals to be made. The recent MLB proposal had a $245M cap and a $171M floor. Using Fangraphs, there are 6 teams above that cap and 15 clubs under the floor currently. Those 15 in particular would have to agree to pony up before the official offer could be made. The Marlins are almost $100M short. I could see the owners on both sides of that spectrum having some contentious debate before the players get involved at all.

The TV money being shared likely will buoy a lot of that talk, but if you are the Dodgers or other big market franchise, why would you support that?

This is a cultural issue. F that kid. I’m glad he got what he deserved. We need more responses like this. Probably never had a dad around to straighten him out so he learned the hard way from a grown man. Just zero respect for any kind of authority.

Perhaps I am misreading your reply and you were just speaking to a lack of respect, but just for clarification purposes....this bruh thing is waaay more a thing with the fairer complexion. I had to correct my daughter the other day doing it repeatedly in one conversation. Every kid in my neighborhood does it. Its ridiculous.

Packers/Ravens on 12/27 was aired only on Peacock. It looks like the local NBC stations aired it in the respective teams area, but the rest of the country needed a subscription for that one.

I took my daughter to see him this past weekend in Tampa (it was her Xmas present). I tried to listen to him prior so I wouldnt be 100% lost, but like you, felt like almost every song was depressing as hell.

Fast forward to the show....1) Caamp was very good although at one point I realized the lead singer looks like Macaulay Culkin with Tom Selleck's hair and moustache and couldnt unsee it. 2) Raymond James was packed full of people 3) It seems like he increases his tempo a tad on all his songs live, which made it more palatable 4) Dude has a full freaking band behind him, I am talking multiple cellos, violin, fiddle, trumpets, you name it. 5) I had zero knowledge of the whole Homeland security stuff going in, but he seemed to have the common sense not to push that hard, he made a quick comment and then played the song. While not my cup of tea, it was definitely a spectacle and a fun time. I would see him again if someone offered me a ticket.

I did laugh at one point, during one of the mini breaks the various string musicians played the Godfather theme. I knew that 75% of the folks in attendence had never heard that before. The oldes like me in the crowd all were nodding our heads.
