Well, I think it was amazing that they had to put the full weight of the Trump Machine to attack Massie. Had Massie held on to win it, it would have been a signal about the limits of Trump's power wi...

This primary race in Kentucky has been all over the news. It's basically Trump, his machine, and the Israeli lobby against Massie and America Firsters. Donnie, what's your take on the ground? Accor...

I hadn't heard that Trump had a "disclosure speech" ready, so that is interesting. Still, I get the feeling that Trump or his administration understands the value of throwing some red meat around to t...

A mainstream topic, but does it mean anything? There's a guy whose blog I follow (he is/was part of a "skeptics" organization) and he had this to say about it: We get more indistinct blobs, dots of ...

I'm not currently in the market for a new car, but I'm more and more impressed by videos of Tesla vehicles that I see on social media, especially those with Full Self Driving mode. To me, FSD seems l...

Oh wow, that's pretty cool! What platform do you use?

Wanted to check back in on this this thread. Donovan Mitchell is a bona fide all-star, and this season he's averaging over 27 ppg. But Victor Wembanyama is turning into one of the greatest players i...

UConn vs. Illinois and Arizona vs. Michigan. Who will come out on top?

What did you change? I'm not sure I know the difference. Maybe the width?

With Ole Miss losing to Miami, the SEC will have no representation at the National Championship game on January 19. It will actually mark the third year in a row that the SEC has not been represented...

Ok, wow. Just wow. So I did not actually expect that Ole Miss would top Georgia when I wrote my last post a few hours ago, but here we are. Turns out all my predictions yesterday for the four bowl ...

So with Miami convincingly beating Ohio State, Oregon blanking Texas Tech 23-0, and Indiana smothering Alabama by 35 points, I see my predictions are 0 for 3. With that in mind, don't be surprised if...

Yes, I guess that would be true. I suppose it's also true that other sports leagues (e.g. at the pro level) give playoff spots to divisional winners, rather than to the teams with the best overall re...
