Re: Seattle 2/19 & 2/20

I found myself in a "Cooley doesn't play enough unique songs" argument with Bubba after HC2020, which led to the following stats/nerd behavior , which concluded that while Cooley has fewer songs to choose from, he plays a higher percentage of those songs than does Patterson: Damn, Bubba, you inspire...

Re: Neverending & in perpetuity 3dd Fantasy Football thread

The gods were looking down on our league, clearly enjoying kind buds with Rod...his team overcame a 44-point deficit last night to win the 3DD FFL Championship on the final play of the game.

RIP LBRod, forever a champion.
