Mare of Easttown
Maybe I missed something but I never got why anyone suspected Guy Pierce. He has the most rock solid alibi of anyone - he was railing Mare while the murder happened, right? There wasn't time for him to do both, because Mare got home at like 2 or 3 in the morning. Her mom even called her out on coming home so late.

I remember a certain other poster (who DEFINITELY isn't Macklemore) having a weird obsession with the WSJ letters to the editor. Who was that poster again?...

MLB Expansion: Austin on the radar?
https://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-xpm-19970114-1997-01-14-9701140025-story.html Sorry I worded it poorly. Here's an explanation of how Watson and Alexander blew it in 1997.

MLB Expansion: Austin on the radar?
My memory is hazy so some of the details here might be a bit off, but the gist of this is correct: Houston didn't get an NHL team because of a pissing match between Les Alexander (the former owner of the Rockets) and Chuck Watson (the owner of the Aeros, landlord for the old Rockets Arena, and the man who had the rights to a Houston hockey team). Alexander felt that Watson was overcharging him on rent at the Summit. Alexander also got the rights to the Toyota Center when it opened. To be petty he charged Watson exorbitant rent to play at Toyota Center. The Aeros moved to Des Moines because they refused to pay so much in rent, despite having the third(or so) highest attendance in the AHL. Alexander eventually sold the Rockets to Tillman Fertitta, who also has the rights to any NHL team in Houston, so things are at least smoothed out as far as ownership. That being said the NHL has shown a tendency to place expansion teams in cities with no other sports teams rather than the major pro city/cities in their state (ie Columbus and Raleigh Durham). Still, the fact that Houston has an ownership group and arena already in place is a pretty big leg up, along with the population and wealth in the city. Fertitta bought the Rockets too late for Houston to be considered for expansion (and Seattle was a virtual lock anyway), but there has been a lot of talk about the Coyotes moving to Houston (Kansas City and Quebec are the two other names that come upmost frequently for relocation).

LMAO Fox "reporter" just said that Trump was debating two people tonight (which is true. Trump was yelling and interrupting everyone). Then said both were spreading the pernicious Charlottesville hoax and that Trump didn't call them very fine people but denounced them forcefully. Something Trump wouldn't even do at the debate.- 2020 Presidential Election -- Biden v Trump: Sleepy Joe vs Dopey Don [Results begin on page 409]

Good God this album is straight fire. Taking a damn sledgehammer to the system- Dallas Best Option for NFL Bubble City (if needed)
Yeah the sole reason the Super Bowl has been in Florida, California, or New Orleans 80% of the time is weather. Some locales are sexier than others. Texas ain't as sexy. Also the weather is absolutely a factor for the bulk of the season. Just look at the average temperature and precipitation in Texas vs Southern California in the fall. It's not even close. It's more predictably comfortable (ie: not raining or snowing and not 90 degrees) in LA and San Diego.- Dallas Best Option for NFL Bubble City (if needed)
Maximum attendance is kind of irrelevant here. I mean StubHub hosted NFL games in 2019 for Gods sake Do you think there's a slight chance the NFL might spring for artificial turf for 2020 if it means their season gets to happen? I've been to TX/OU at the Cotton Bowl. I love TX/OU at the Cotton Bowl. Are you arguing that the Cotton Bowl is in better shape than SDCCU?- Dallas Best Option for NFL Bubble City (if needed)
Imagine giving every player in the NFL the choice between six months in the Metroplex or in LA/San Diego. There's a reason that SoCal has hosted 11 Superbowls and DFW has hosted 1- Dallas Best Option for NFL Bubble City (if needed)
