I kind of want to now. It's sort of like a movie that everyone says is terrible, isn't there a little part of you that is enticed by that?

It should've been done years ago when Ralph was whining about money.

Bet you never thought you'd utter those words.

I can't get enough crying Jordan. Did anyone crying Jordan Hope Solo yesterday? If so, I must have missed it. That's way too ordinary to happen. Lightning will strike the dude next to Tyrod, who will then fall sideways into Tyrod's knee and destroy both the MCL and ACL.

That simultaneously makes sense and sucks.

Neither do I, but I know more people than I'd care to admit who disagree. Anywho, I dislike them regardless of classification.

No mini fridge in the office?

Haven't had a gose yet, but totally agree on the radlers. The fruit in beer has gone too far!

As a fellow sore loser, I suppose I'll defend Hope Solo's comments to a point. I'm not sure calling the other team cowards was the right way to go, but I love when athletes are something other than cliché-spewing robots.

Did you just volunteer to get your own fingers broken?

I'm still in awe of Ledecky's victory margin. Did that really just happen?

Andrew Brandt ‏@AndrewBrandt 6m6 minutes agoPhiladelphia, PA Tyrod Taylor deal likely to be one of those "up to $100 million" deals which means $25-30 million and then "we'll see how he's doing."

Indeed. I can only assume it'll be along the lines of the Kaepernick/Tannehill deals of a few years ago where the team can cut bait after any particular season for minimal cost.

Uuuuhhhhhh.... I'm a pretty big Tyrod supporter, and I'll withhold judgment until the terms and particulars are known...but this is at least a little scary.

Yea, and I just tore a groin simply looking at the pictures Josie posted.

Yes. I'm fine with most nights that aren't Monday.

The difference for me is that, traditionally, candidates either gritted their teeth through similar things knowing they needed a certain ugly subset of the population to win, or at the very most gave a slight wink/nod and immediately turned to something else. Trump, on the other hand, is doing everything short of giving a full-throated endorsement of these types of sentiment. I think there's a world of difference between quietly accepting what exists for what it is, and actively stoking the fires.

Racial stuff aside, things like this are flat-out embarrassing for a major party nominee: Matt Mackowiak ‏@MattMackowiak 22m22 minutes ago Folks, Trump has ONE FIELD OFFICE in Florida. With 90 days left. In the fourth largest state in the country. A must-win battleground.

Just doing my part to keep the complaint thread up top :)

Throughout the primaries, polls were showing 60%+ of Trump supporters believed Obama is a Muslim. A poll early this summer had 31% of registered Republicans either unsure whether Obama was born in the United States, and even more (41%) straight not believing he was born in America. And don't forget Trump's history of birtherism. I have no idea what Trump himself actually believes, but his continued use of certain language is not a coincidence or an "oh golly, he's just a political amateur cracking jokes". He's at least a dozen faux pas beyond getting the benefit of the doubt.

Pst, guys, I think WildCard is voting for Trump :p

Sakic is still there, no? No reason to believe Roy leaving suddenly makes them a well run organization.

I think I'm going to start taking a shot every time I hear something along the lines of "Your experience and credentials represent significant accomplishments, but they don't match exactly what we're looking for, so we're going to pass".

I feel reasonably confident saying Donald Trump currently has no Electoral College path to victory--he could win every single one of Ohio, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, and Nevada...and still lose. He's down an average of 9.2 points in the last 6 Pennsylvania polls, and down 7 in Virginia. Those averages could be understating Clinton's lead, as they contain polls from early-mid July when the race appeared to be tightening (for instance, the last couple polls in Virginia have him down double digits...could be a partial convention bounce, could be the Kaine effect...time will tell). The following is the current best case scenario: http://www.270towin.com/maps/b1vg6 Could change, of course, as Clinton's convention bounce appears to have leveled off and started normalizing (nationally, anyway...need more state polling). New events, crises, yadda yadda. But again, that's the current best case scenario for Trump. He's currently ahead, but only within the margin of error, in a number of traditionally Republican states: Arizona, South Carolina, Georgia, and Missouri. If his campaign continues as it has for the past few weeks, the worst case for him looks something like this: http://www.270towin.com/maps/kvewo My actual guess at this point? The race flattens out enough for the traditional red states to remain red, but Clinton cleans up in the battlegrounds: http://www.270towin.com/maps/DAQBD . But again, this is the important point: she doesn't have to clean up. Her leads in Pennsylvania and Virginia are nearly insurmountable right now, barring a complete collapse. She holds them, she wins.

As long as he doesn't end up in Toronto I'm fine.
