Some times I think that pff just throws stuff out there. Eagles had so many running plays blown up in the back field. Guys were getting got the instant they got the ball.

What's your SLA like with them? If you have a pretty tight set of expectations in your contract, you should jump on that.

Being good at baseball is like hitting the lottery. Tons of players have all the tools, the power, the speed, athleticism, but can't hit a ball for shit and go nowhere.
Want a famous example?

It's just the standard AWS SLA. They hold all the cards in it. Honestly though this is the first outage I can pin on them in over a year, and I don't know for sure that it was all their fault. Generally I am a huge fan of AWS. Ever used it?

But the sport that is hardest to make it is clearly the NBA. There are only like 300 spots and the players on average have pretty decent length careers (I think it is like 6-8 years). Baseball is easier just by virtue of there being way more roster spots on every team. Football is probably the easiest to make it because every team has like 60 players on it and their lifespan is a little longer than fruit flies.
Though it is harder to hit a fastball than it is to dunk a basketball or make a 3 point shot.

AWS in general is pretty good, yes. I think only really big tech companies (i.e. the ones with large enough legal departments to bother going through the negotiations) can get away with a custom SLA with them.
Soccer seems kind of hard to make it in too. 99% of the population couldn't last that long on a field.

True there are less spots, but the reason there are so many spots in baseball is because there is a massive gulf in talent, even on one team. Every MLB roster right now has at least 2 players who were in Double or Triple A earlier on this season.
Also once you make the NBA you're likely there for good (unless you're Anthony Bennett). Meanwhile in baseball in your career you'll probably spend more than a few stints in the minor leagues dealing with injury, or trying to find/regain your swing.

The problem is that the seed node on our Cassandra cluster went down. We don't have the cash to have a fully redundant cluster, so we just lost the data. To get full resilience to a single node failure we'd need four instances running. That way we could have a replication factor of 2 and half the token space on each node. I don't get paid enough to be the System Administrator and Software Architect for this company :\

So he'll owe money at the end of the season, smart move by the colts
Pretty much. I had a cousin who pitched AAA and he told me if he had been a lefty he would have made it to the pros just on that alone.
It depends on you define professional. There are a million pro soccer teams in the world (rounding up). I think that a lot of people probably just look to Europe for pro soccer, which has only about a few thousand professional teams.
Speaking of soccer. Some guy named Zangief or something like that just agreed to play soccer in England for that one team that is so big there! Holy shitballs! That was a real corker of a newspaper story! --> This is what I hear when my friends are talking about pro soccer.

Did Jff get suspended for a failed test or is it for the blunt pic?

Tomorrow starts Manziel's 1st day of being sober. Forever.
Browns better not get too good or the NFL will have to move them to another city again.
That would have resulted in eznark getting permed if he wasn't already.
You can go talk to him on Caste Football and see how he's doing.
They certainly are strange that's for sure. I don't think they'd last in here though

You miss quality informed opinions about the Packers and most of football?
Me too. I wish I had the interest in the sport as much as him and others to know who these bubble guys are or how intricate some of the offensive and defensive systems can be.

I can give you quality informed opinions of the Packers and most of football.
The Packers will win the NFC North again. The criteria for winning this division is twofold. One must show up (this already disqualifies the Bears, they don't have this capability but they are hopeful that with a new system and some good draft picks they might be able to get there in another 2 years) and secondly the team must have at least average talent with the ability to run high level high school plays (this disqualifies the Vikings and Lions).
The Packers will rack up impressive stats and an impressive record in the regular season, but when it gets cold and the playoffs start at home they will shrivel faster than Aaron's penis when he is confronted by Olivia's naked body.

I remember when I picked against the Packers in the NFC North.
And I was almost right. Except the only thing in my way was Mtthew Stafford beating a team with a winning record on the road. Which means I wasn't anywhere actually close to being right. (Kas going to run in here talmabout how the Lions beat the Packers in Lambeau last year.)
Never again.
I don't know what my yearlong avy bet will be this year. Maybe I'll finally bet on my own team instead of relying on fat lards and crooked judges.
