This is off topic a bit but ... Today makes 50 years to the day when 29 people died when a massive storm near the great lakes sank the Edmund Fitzgerald... The Sinking: The freighter was sailing through a severe storm with high winds and waves when it disappeared from radar. The exact cause of the sinking remains a mystery, but some believe the ship may have broken apart after hitting the bottom or suffered a structural failure. Loss of Life: All 29 men on board, including captain Ernest M. McSorley, perished in the disaster. No survivors were found. The Wreck Site: The ship now rests in two large pieces on the bottom of Lake Superior, over 500 feet deep. The wreck is considered a maritime grave, and diving without a permit is illegal. Memorials and Legacies: The ship's bell was recovered in 1995 and is now on display at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. Gordon Lightfoot's 1976 song brought national attention to the tragedy and became a famous folk ballad. There have been other memorials, including a memorial swim, to honor the crew. Improvements in weather forecasting and safety technology have made a similar disaster less likely today, though the risk is not zero.

Yesss I'd love to see another 2013-2014 winter!!!!

This is a banter thread so people basically talk about anything and everything lol

Amen brother!!!!

Well fellow Orioles fans....Well I just heard orioles owner Rubenstein earlier today on the radio(105.7 the fan) Saying that Mike Elias " has no financial limits whatsoever to get the players the Orioles need to win a championship. " He also said. There's plenty of money to get free agents!! Whether Elias does anything or not is yet to be seen. But.. I do think the way Rubenstein sounded, that he wants Elias to spend!! If Elias don't spend i think. Rubenstein will get someone else who will!!

That's funny as hell !!!!

Trade: Titans are sending edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones to the Ravens for a conditional 5th-round pick, per sources. 4.5 sacks in 4 games definitely a good pick up for ravens!!!!

BWI: 21.8" DCA: 16.2" IAD: 22.8" RIC: 8.4" Tiebreaker SBY: 9.2 MBY: 20.5

Me neither. But I'd be happy if the Orioles just made it to the world series! Lol

They don't call him The Amazing Rick for nothing folks!! Lol

Amen brother!!!!

After the last crappy bunch of years I'd take median snowfall anyday!!

Don't know how true it is but a few pro mets on Facebook reported on their Facebook news page that NHC hurricane hunters had recorded a 252 mph wind gust near Jamaica .. seem a bit unrealistic but. Not impossible I guess

Hmm. Hard to say but I do know where in live in eastern Baltimore county alot of the leaves have already fallen so a good storm may speed up the process... In my opinion

Yeah I agree!! We have one of the best running teams yet we seem to throw more this year!!. Makes no sense to me

Yeah. Refs seem like they been leaning the Chiefs way in last few games

President day storm no.1 I believe (Feb 1979)

True!! Their back up QB isn't the answer

Well I got a good wife now but first wife was having a bit more sex then me.. that was an issue
