Stephen—The Merckx Project

Hate to even give them the idea, but when do they start calling "us" AsteriskFC? When does that fully catch on/take hold?

Yes, I realize the irony of it.

Another good day for the Arsenal, and another awful, awful day for the haters. #COYG

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

This isn't going to quiet the World Cup talk.....

It was my first thought that if they somehow send a carrier to the bottom of the Med, the chance goes WAY up.

BUT, I think actually nuking Iran would put a serious dent in the ability to draw and produce oil, so that may be what actually keeps Trump in check

...but there may actually be someone smart enough to realize nuking Iran will decimate oil production, which is why my initial number is only 70%

70. I think once the reality of land war in what might as well be western Asia actually settles in, it could happen.

I think if they (IRN) somehow actually sink one of our naval ships, esp a carrier, it's a certainty he nukes. With zero understanding of how that will impact oil supply...

Maybe if they were actually taxed for it, they would show a little more effort...

I'm wholly okay with Canada "getting revenge" in this one.

Is the chappa'ai still buried in that region?

Someone should inform Tommy, and the rest of these fucking racists, who the first country/kingdom to acknowledge the US' independence was....

(Hint: They weren't Christian)

Yep. I also hope FIA allows teams to do open testing during that window so everyone can get more out of their cars

A not insignificant number of comic book supervillains have this origin story.

Bond villain Lyutsifer Safin, played by Rami Malek, has this origin story.

Will be interesting to see what happens after the June engine spec change.

No one will ever admit it, but being on the paint was a factor.

Attended a US Open Cup match between 2 USL sides last year. The ardent supporters stand behind one of the goals was half empty, and there were maybe 150 of us in the regular stand. Just too many matches for America's "4th" sport. Especially on a Wednesday or Thursday night.

This is the second or third 'post' I've seen now where the Raiders are taking him off the market. We're going to learn the Ravens were fully justified, I think. Sad for Maxx, tho.

Blog post claiming that the Raiders no longer want to trade Maxx Crosby.

I recognize this is just some blog, but the story has changed on the Raiders' side too. To me, it's looking more and more likely that we're going to see him in the PUP in August.

I don't think I could. I'm a stay at home dad for a wife that makes stacks and my kids are older. But I just don't have time.

If I was single, I would have time but be lonely and unmotivated.

Or maybe being alone is what drives that creative fire????

My thoughts from yesterday....

It's wild to hear that this is the most technologically advanced (uhhh...LMP???) series, but the regs are too difficult for these best in the world engineers to "figure out."

It's almost on par with a few years ago how Italy had 3 teams in all of the finals, (CL, Europa, Conf) and lost all 3.

As a side note, visual artists (esp comic book/novel artists) are strongly encouraged to trademark themselves and their stuff from day 1. It wasn't due to ai, but the premise is the same.

Yes, I'm savvy. But your last sentence proves the point. If he actually failed the physical, for any reason, the BAL was absolutely within their rights to cancel the deal.

There is in excess of $350 Million in driver's salaries on the grid this year. But you're telling me none of them know how to drive a fucking car?

Side note, take notice of the name of the ruler of the first nation to recognize out independence...

FWIW the Treaty of Paris was signed in September 1883. I know we count Declaration Day as our birthday, but until the war was won it wasn't official. Call those six years the gestational period.

So the next admin gets to celebrate '250.' 😁

I mean, I hope Maxx can play again and play well, but at this point you kinda want to see him PUP'd to start the year just to prove a point.

I hope Maxx recovers and can play again, BUT after all this righteous grandstanding I kinda hope he can't suit up Week 1. Maybe even PUP'd.
