I was more impressed with the catch to be honest.

Phenomenal pass though

Don't know who Martin Shkreli is. Unfortunately, instantly recognized James Deen's name when Fats mentioned him a couple of days ago.

Hes the big pharma CEO who was in the news recently for raising the price of an aids medication to like $700 per pill.

I would have never guessed a year ago that both the Panthers and the Hornets would be elite offensive teams.

Panthers are the highest scoring team in the NFL and the Hornets are 5th in offensive efficiency. Besides the fact that both teams are playing well, it's cool to see them put up the points. I don't think either team has been even above average offensively for a while. Which was kind of bumming me out, I've been jonesing for some good offense.

Whats up with the QueenCityHoops website? Seems like they get basically no traffic anymore. There is like one comment on an article ever 2-4 weeks and it seems none of their content gets more than two likes. Do they plan on shutting down after this season, possibly merging with ATH?

I guess we are seeing the limit to how many discussion/blog websites can be supported by fans of the Hornets. Just guessing it seems that QCH would be 4th on the list behind RGM, ATM and HP (in no specific order). Plus you have the other sites like BBTB, the Lin sites and Carolina Huddle that also pull fans of the team. Did I miss any? QCH was putting out some quality content last year, but I haven't really checked them in a while. ATM has really upped their game big time recently and adding Lamar as one of their writers was a great move. I haven't looked at HP in a while either. And I refuse to give BBTB any traffic.

QCH still is putting out solid content, just not a lot of volume. I occasional check out HP, QCH, and ATH, but I'm mostly just on here.

Lamar is a big pickup for ATH. It seems the guy who hosted the podcast that was on QCH last season is now doing the podcast for ATH.

I live near a small airport. A few miles away and pass it almost every day. It doesn't have much but small personal planes and every now and then a private jet or so.

Every now and then when I drive past it a plane will be landing and it freaks me the hell out every single time. It looks like it's about to slam right into my car even though it's about 20-30 feet above me.

The Bernie Sanders campaign has collected over 2,000,000 individual donations as of 8 pm (last night). More than any other presidential campaign in history at this point in the campaign. Even Obama 2008 didn’t collect 1 million donations until after the Iowa caucuses.

This gives an indication of the massive grassroots support actively working to elect President Bernie Sanders.

Sanders has more individual donors than Clinton, as well as any of the Republican candidates.

He's behind in the Iowa polls by 9%, but so was Obama.

But they say Bernie is no Obama.

It's true, he actually has more financial support from the people to buy ads in Iowa, and a higher number of volunteers to persuade voters on the ground in Iowa.
It has been written...

Bill Burr commentating basketball, bloody hilarious.

You can tell he loves pushing the offensive line.

Too bad, Internazionale already have Mancini as their head coach. I'd love to see Mou goes back to Internazionale as head coach. He is one of the best head coach Internazionale ever had. Bring us back the glory of treble winner Mou!
