    There has been alotta talk about TV deals, etc in this place. I would highly recommend YouTubeTV for a variety of topics. Yeah, especially sports. Much cheaper than the others too.

    Politics are a lot like sports. Preseason the press can overhype a team without a pitch being thrown or a game being played. The same 'experts' made Joe Biden a large favorite over the field. Did you see what happened when the game started? I honestly thought that Biden would give Trump a run for it in a debate. Lots of luck, he first has to get out of the primaries. For a 50 something lady, Harris is in good shape both mentally and physically. Take note Hillary.

    Having a bet on Biden was almost as bad as having an under bet on the first London series game. When lines makers don't have mountains of historical data their lines are often not very sharp.

    I don't see Harris being able to beat Trump. She's too far left to capture the centrist vote that is needed to win the general election. It would make for some highly entertaining viewing when debate time comes.

    A Biden/Harris ticket is interesting..sure her challenging him will be long in the rear view mirror come 2 months..

    Here we go with the 'birther' BS. The retweet was from Trump Jr. This ethnicity/ancestry crap went out 50 years ago and making a comeback.

    “Kamala Harris is implying she is descended from American Black Slaves,” Mr. Alexander wrote during the second night of the Democratic debates. “She’s not. She comes from Jamaican Slave Owners. That’s fine. She’s not an American Black. Period.”

    Mr. Trump(Jr) shared the message, asking his more than three million followers, “Is this true? Wow.”

    Guilty of not realizing how good his 2019 is. Saw he was the HR derby fav and I was totally shocked at his #s.

    You might NOT be the only one that dislikes Mendez. Plus this article has some interesting points.

    since being turned on to Bar Rescue I hardly ever watch the Sunday night game..although I have watched a few times during the week and although a little rough around the edges like the perspective David Ross brings.

    The MLB ASG is starting to resemble the NFL Pro Bowl. FFreeman mic'd up while batting. GMAFB. Anyone betting this exhibition needs an appointment to GA.

    They brought the dead balls out for the all star game. Not for nothing this Ump wants to go home he's had enough.

    Upstate NY sponsored casino wagering? LOL. Leave it to the Native Americans.
    "There is also a limit on the betting. The regulations will ban betting on college sports teams in New York or any college contests played in the state.

    Nonetheless, the four upstate casinos see sports betting as a boost their operations, which have failed to meet expectations since opening more than two years ago."

    AM wondering how many sports bettors there are on those dairy farms upstate, they should open a sports book at yonkers raceway, if they did, they wouldn't be able to accommodate all the people

    At his current pace, Mike Trout would finish the season with:

    165 hits
    134 walks
    129 runs
    35 doubles
    52 home runs
    131 RBI's
    and an OPS of 1.124

    By the time his career is over, I think he'll go down as a top 10-15 player of all time, he makes everything look easy and effortless, it's a shame half the country is sleeping when he plays

    RIP to one of the greatest fighters of all time. The only guy who was on Mayweather’s level defensively if not even slightly better. Extremely slick, one of my favorite fighters ever growing up. Unbelievable.

    Jerry Sloan? They don't make'm like that anymore. Somehow he was meant to be successful. Good work ethic and a big break. He coached his alma mater Evansville for a week and resigned. That was the year when the whole team and coaches died in a plane crash. Unfortunately, he's paying for that break right now.

    PGA Tour and Policy Board voted to reduce the 36 hole cut line from the top 70 golfers to top 65 including ties starting next year. They also got rid of the 54 hole secondary cut.
    They are trying to remove the weekend clutter.

    I guess in NY suicide watch means just that watch him commit suicide. I was under the impression suicide watch meant to watch him closely to prevent a suicide attempt. Oh well I would guess things are not much better for him now if their is any afterlife justice

    Wasn't Aaron Hernandez under suicide watch also? Anything that happens in prison I think we can take with a grain of salt....even in a supermax the prisoners are the ones who run that place.

    you think they are going to cut Callaway in Cleveland. out of shape, injured ankle, another time caught with drugs, 4 week suspension

    Idk. They have shown patience in the past. What was he caught when exactly? If it's bud I think the NFL is going to get a lot more lenient on that subject. He was a steal in the draft coming out of Florida IMO but that was also due to his disciplinary issues

    yeah and that patience with Gordon really worked out well for them

    It will be interesting to see if NFL grants Gordon his reinstatement with Pats
