plus he's made plenty of money and was born and raised in MN. I'm not sure how much that factors into these kind of decisions tho.

He hasn't officially announced anything, but his contract is over and media people here in the Twin Cities say he's gonna retire. Help me out here baseball guys, but he probably could get another contract for a couple more years but just might not want to, just like CaptainHammer said

Last year he was solid, this year he was quite mediocre. He was an average ish hitter playing 1B and DHing a bunch, not really good enough to start and he probably doesn't want to be a platoon guy or pinch hitter on some other team

Apparently Mauer took one pitch, then took a bow and went to the locker room. Standing ovation and the whole nine yards.

I remember when he signed his mega 8 year contract, it felt like he would be here literally forever.

Off the top of my head (non homer picks), I like the Chargers, Rams (especially the old ones with the white horns), Panthers, Seahawks

This topic won't even make it to October SMH

This is your monthly reminder that the Packers throwback jerseys are the ugliest things to ever exist.

They are awesome you shut your mouth

Packer fans are literally the only people that think this. Just because they're old don't mean they're cool or look good

I literally just vomited all over my keyboard looking at this

This is your monthly reminder that the Packers throwback jerseys are the ugliest things to ever exist.

I don't really know the middle of my order, but the Rockies are first and the Yankees are last

my sister's boyfriend. a few of us were going to the MLS game but got delayed at my house dranksing beer and taking selfies in spiderman

I took a very edgy selfie in Spider-Man. I've been called the most controversial political cartoonist of my generation.

Would you guys hate me if I cheer for the Dodgers in the playoffs? the 10000000000% only reason I would do so is for Brian Dozier

My guess is no

so what needs to happen for each of your bball teams to make the playoffs

Oreo and Reese's are great blizzards but cookie dough might be my fave

Those sound great. Also Halloween oreos are the best kind

Suburbs of Dallas. Allen and then Lake Dallas, specifically

Lived in Texas kindergarten - 8th grade

speaking of them not being open on Sunday, remember that story about how they opened a Chik Fil A at the new Falcons stadium, and it's not even open on Sunday when most of the games are.

One thing I miss about living in Texas is the fast food restaurants and the food in general. The barbecue was great and the Mexican food is so much better there. And they have way more Chik Fil A, and places like WhatABurger and Jack in the Box which they don't have in MN.

omg I didn't know chik fil a has breakfast. I want to go. Too bad there aren't very many around here

I think agree with that. I like Tbell brekky, but McD's is probably better. And Hardee's is simpy to die for. (in before those west coast pot smoking hippies correct us by saying it's called Carl's Jr)

I never tried it because the name scared me away

Got Taco Bell breakfast. God is Good.

I still don't know what they were thinking when they went with that hashtag. The team is begging to be made fun of.

I know the Rams offense is really good, but Vikings D looked like absolute trash. Offense looked really good, but Rams was better obv. I knew they would lose, but this would suck less if they didn't just get blown out by the fucking bills. Oh well. I feel nothing.

The first female commentator duo in NFL history will be calling the Vikings/Rams game tonight (for Amazon Prime).
On a scale of 1-10, how pissed off are you?

I am of course outraged.

Today I heard there's a sex robot doll brothel in Toronto. Have you been there slurpee? Might be a good spot for a sports topic meetup

I googled "terrible shirts" and saw this one. It's not particularly funny, but boy does it look ugly.

That's disturbing

more of an Applebee's guy?

hello friends.

So I have a fantasy football bet...the loser has to buy a T-Shirt of the winner's choice and wear it in public to Olive Garden twice (we have bets where losers buy OG for winners, so we have at least 2 trips to OG lined up) and then 3 other times (not to work or anything like that). And the shirts can't be overly vulgar or anything.

IF I win, I'm trying to decide on a good shirt. I have 2 ideas so far but am 100% open to suggestions.

Idea 1: Owl City shirt
2. This Olive Garden shirt

can you imagine having to wear this to Olive Garden

About to fire up the shiny new S9

(I'm on my computer now)

Last post from my S7. It's been the best phone I've ever had. Over 2 years old and still works okay. Just slow and the battery life has gotten bad

Yeah someone who admittedly never got into it is complaining about something he doesn't know anything about. I bet you $100 that chewy can't name a single pokemon (if he does he cheated and used google)

Yeah rescuing the princess for the 10000th time is much more fun.

Yeah kinda, you remember their offseason right? They gutted the defense and the O line is still bad. And Earl thomas wanted a new contract

Did the trade happen?

Congrats! That seems pretty professional to me. I'd tell your squad to keep their elbows up and hope to catch some throats

Blink is obviously way better than bands of their era, same with Sublime like 5 years before Blink.

Is there anything more 2003 punk rock than playing music in an emptied out underground pool talking about how school sucks with your 200 closest friends who have bleached spiked hair and also happen to be members of the Ramones?

Yeah dude I agree with you about Green Day and Blink. Both of them are kind of "our generation" bands that might have a chance of aging well and making it past our timeline in music history. They're not gonna be the Beatles or anything, but I still enjoy them.

I never liked Good Charlotte, but I gotta say...the Anthem is kind of a good song. Boys n Girls and Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous are bad songs, but cheesy in a good way and good for some nostalgia.

OMG. I just remembered In Too Deep by Sum 41. The music video makes me wanna die but the song makes me remember growing up

It's like shitty Blink 182 that doesn't wear deodorant

Yeah, Everywhere is going to be in my head for a while now. Recently I went through a bit of a phase of listening to stuff I liked in 8th grade, and a lot of it is pretty bad. But you know what song I'm pretty sure actually bangs...... Addicted by Simple Plan

Yeah that's a really good one. I remember it.

Last Sunday, my brother and I did the 3 hour drive back down to the cities, so we listened to some old school tunes, mostly from Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX 1 (ps1) and 2 (ps2)
do you guys remember this shredder?

well then what's your favorite 90s one?

CaptainHammer posted...

Fidelity by Regina Spektor came our in 06. That's another one I have on my phone.

that song bangs.

also everyone else hasn't appreciated how good Everywhere is. please watch

If Owl City and my girl both drowning and I can only save one catch me at my girls funeral with ten million fireflies

For some reason Sara Bareilles reminds me of Uncharted, not the video games, but the song.

what's your favorite early 2000 alt/pop-rock-ish chick singer song? I used to think it was Vanessa Carleton's 1000 Miles, but the other day I heard Michelle Branch's "Everywhere" on the radio for the first time in a long time. I forgot how good this song is. It's been stuck in my head for going on 2 weeks.

Avril ranks up there pretty high too.

goodbye baby, fuck wisconsin
