    War Park New Release in December -- The Old Guard Grenadiers

    incredibly naive and silly comments. I suppose then that expensive watches, homes, cars, TVs, etc etc harm their respective industries? Of course not. If a company produces a product that is too expensive for the perceived value, they won’t sell. Simple. And if they do sell successfully at a...

    Ahem. “Air Force fans like to point out that the team from the Colorado-based school also competes each year for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy – which the Falcons have won 20 times compared to 16 times for Navy and eight times for Army.”

    N.F.L. Season 2018-19

    i did not use words like meaningless. I think sports are fun to watch, in moderation. No doubt lots of guys love to talk sports. I used to really care about pro and major college sports when I was younger. Now, they are like movies or a tv show. Entertainment that at the end of the day has...

    N.F.L. Season 2018-19

    I’m not saying being on the Internet is bad (obviously, here I am), or saying spending time conversing over it with friends / fellow collectors is bad. Not at all. It’s that the zealousness time money energy spent WATCHING sports and really CARING deeply about who wins or what happens to some...

    N.F.L. Season 2018-19

    All this passionate discussion over stuff that has near zero significance in the real world? And it’s mostly over a bunch of overpaid guys who don’t know or care that any of us exist, employed by organizations that are the playthings of super wealthy elites who also could care less that we...

    NCAA Football 2019

    There is not and never will be a perfect system. Nuance and subjective calls will always be with us. At least until the bots and algorithms take over. Then they’ll just plug in all the stats etc into a computer and it’ll spit out the winners and losers. But ultimately the question is, is it...

    if UGA wins both LSU and the Dawgs go to the Playoff*. If UGA loses, LSU will be the lone SEC school to make the cut. * Barring an unlikely blowout by Ga.

    Surely these dates places and other details are sufficient as proof of the validity of my data. Meanwhile you spew out general statements without factual support by generals and other party officials who are notoriously dishonest, corrupt and just plain full of ****. Everyone knows the Russians...
