Beat EviLore at pool.
Yes or anything with Kobe Bryant for some reason.
Only because some Laker fans think their team is bigger than the league they play in.

Yep, Enberg was my favorite. Course, as an AFC guy, I suppose I was biased. But Summerall was so freaking dry to me. Sure, he was classy with no BS, but you couldn't beat Enberg's, "Ohhh myyy."
There's like one story a year that would rise to the level of non-NFL fans caring. Don't think it matters much. Though maybe Haslam could be a topic, if only b/c his brother is Governor of Tennessee. Of course that would be a typical ______ OT thread given the politics of it

Kraft Family hopes to assist recovery for victims of Boston Marathon tragedy by matching up to $100,000 in donations.
Or about 1% of the money he swindled Brady out of

That NBA vs. NHL thread was funny. As much as I enjoy watching both sports, they are pretty much the same in terms of popularity. The big boys remain the MLB and NFL. Plus it gets harder to take the NBA seriously due to officiating, as well as super teams. Whatever though, I enjoy watching games at times.
MLB is big? :lol
All their fans are old white dudes. At least the NBA and NHL attract young people.
Tammy is a true hero. Took less money so it could be donated to the victims of the bombing.

The Browns are terrible.
Does the NHL have a cultural impact anywhere near the NBA?
Over here, everyone knows about the NBA and its stars. No one knows about the NHL. And it seems like other areas of entertainment (or fashion) are much more entangled with the NBA and its players.

The song is called 'Just Give Me a Reason' and it's decent for a ballad. I've actually liked a few songs off of Pink's latest album. I think she brings a more unique sound to the pop field than others.
As for Name of the Wind, Rothfuss hit a homerun on the first book then took a big swing at book 2 and whiffed pretty bad. I bought both in hardcover, but I'll wait for book 3 to come down in price before biting the bullet on it.
Maybe so, and the popularity of sports may change over time due to that. As of right now though MLB is still bigger than the NBA. Adding on to that though, most of the people I know don't care about the NBA, and think it's a joke really. I enjoy the NBA though, but it does have it's moments.
It's regional. Maybe Slo can correct me on this, but take a place like Minnesota. I would bet, and it changes depending on if a team has a winning season, that the Vikings are the most popular, followed closely by the Twins, which is followed closely by the Wild (I would bet that these two could be swapped depending on the season), and then the TWolves. Hockey is much more prevalent in this area.
Same could likely be said for other places, such as Detroit. Red Wings are immensely popular, more so than the Pistons, but maybe not the Tigers. I'm sure at times the Wings are were more popular than all of them due to winning. It's fluid I guess.

So this came up at work today. We have a project management tool and a guy asked me whether we use "the BIRT tool" to extract metrics.
And I thought...
"Yes, yes I know ...
... the Bert tool."

Russel is a loser and whatever team he would play on would suck.
What would that make the teams that lost to him?

There's only a handful of NFL news that is probably worthy of its own thread. Peyton Manning to the Broncos is probably the most recent story that I can think of that would be worth posting there. Flacco's contract maybe? Probably not.
The touchdownterception scandal was probably worth its own topic. Basically if it's important enough to end up on people's facebook feeds from casual sports fans I suppose.

Losing to losers makes Tammy and the Pats double losers.

It really depends on team success and how many band-wagoners you have.
For instance, growing up in Pittsburgh in the 70's, it was all Steelers and Pirates. The Penguins were also-rans and frankly my dad took us to exactly one Pens game the whole time I lived there, and that might have been the only Pens game I saw (TV or otherwise).
Now Pittsburgh is clearly 1, Steelers, 2, Pens, 3, Pirates. The Pens' success with Lemieux and Crosby has made hockey a very popular sport, while the Pirates woes for the last two decades have turned them into a minor league team for the MLB big boys.
In what way is the MLB bigger than the NBA?

Joe really has to be the biggest dork to ever be Super Bowl MVP. Like, I love him, but if he ever walked past me carrying books I'd have to dump them.
And then they had them forfeited.

Sounds like more somewhat random bans are possible in some threads.
I don't think bans necessarily need to be explained every time, but if you're changing the way mods are doing things it's probably better to make it crystal clear until the posters can adjust to it.

Look at all the Seahawk Lombardi trophies
Looks the same as the Pats' trophy case!
Basketball is on its way to being the number 2 international sport. The most popular international sports are usually poor mawill ns sports that do not cost much money to play. Hence why soccer easily remain dominate and why football and ice hockey will not catch on, the equipment is more expensive.

Fixed.
Franchise values for starters. Average value of a franchise is larger in the MLB than it is in the NBA. MLB brings in more revenue. Basketball is making gains on the MLB, but they haven't overtaken it yet.
Let me introduce you to Eli Manning
But yea, Eli looks like a man child, but he's way cooler than Joe seems to be.

It's important to note that NCAA football is bigger than the NBA or MLB.
It's getting harder and harder to justify not paying those college players...

Yeah, that's crazy. Especially when you consider the NCAA is basically a minor league system for the NFL.

An awesome depiction of the virality of youth.
Is there a jazz number about snorting condoms?
Eh I liked the 2nd book. Not as good as the first, but that one was always going to be tough to follow. Just read them back to back over the past 10 days.
And regarding MLB versus NBA I am pretty sure everything gets better ratings than the MLB.
I just remember the second book having 400 pages of him having sex with a sex fairy, just went on and on and on and on.
So mean.

Man, Cooper and Eli look alot alike, Petyon's forehead just ruins the family resemblance.
