We can be a very frustrating country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oilers need a goalie. McDavid might be looking to leave soon if they don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarbear Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 So I’m going to be getting a new pickup here at some point (deposit down, now waiting for transport I guess) Any of you guys deal with insurance or have any recommendations? I’ve used local small towns insurance til now but kinda considering going to a big name one. Geico, State Farm, etc… I went with a new company last April and this guy is just to incompetent. He’s messed too many things up in 10 months that god forbid I make a claim I’m afraid I’ll not actually have coverage or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best friend is an insurance broker and he can only match their rates but without all the bells and whistles geico offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best friend is an insurance broker and he can only match their rates but without all the bells and whistles geico offers. So I priced out 6-7 of the big names online over the weekend and followed up the last couple days. Unless something drastic changes I can’t see myself not going with geico now myself. They had the lowest auto by about 70 bucks/6 months but were a few hundred higher on my homeowners. I just got off the phone with the local geico in Batavia and he shaved another 30 off the auto and 250 off my homeowners. Using all the same criteria. I expected at least a few hundred dollars increade updating my pickup from an 07 to a 22. It’s only going up 163 dollars. I was getting pretty good numbers at State Farm and could get close to matching the auto but was going to have to sign up for their drive and safe which I wasn’t crazy about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure it the f--k out, guys. There has to be a deal they can come up with that will satisfy both parties. Why the hell would they want to do this to the sport coming off two crazy years impacted by the pandemic? They're blowing an opportunity. People want to get back out there and participate in activities that they enjoy. The longer this goes, the less I care. There are other things that I can do in the spring and summer. If it's there, I'll watch but I don't need it. Baseball isn't the only game in town anymore....and this could serve to further alienate younger fans who are already less enthusiastic about the sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Baseball is too long as it is. Cut two months for all I care. Sounds great to me. 100 game season would be great and still too long IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't possibly watch every game but it is nice to have something to watch or listen to on a summer evening if there's nothing else going on. I guess that's the advantage football has. One game a week and you only get 17 of them unless your team reaches the playoffs. Each game feels like an event and the length of the season leaves you wanting more. By the time August rolls around, I'm jonesing for football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Beisbol MLB is a joke. Who cares? I used to be a die hard Mets and baseball fan. Don't watch anymore as team sucks, games too long; season too long, covid mess. I watch more soccer now. It has its drawbacks too but 2 hrs and done.

Yeah you like baseball more than me. I'm like that for football and hockey. After work in summer I usually am by the pool or disc golf. I like attending baseball games much more than watching them on TV, too boring for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer is exciting but I only like international games like world cup. A great sport though. One of my favorite sports to watch is Tennis, I've been playing since I was a kid and got pretty good at it. Going to be sad when the big 4 retire. Roger Federer is my all time favorite athlete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions League is great, as are the other international competitions. I find that a lot of the European domestic leagues are too top-heavy. Always seems like the same 4 or 5 teams (sometimes even fewer) who are in contention for the title...although that Leicester City championship in the Premier League a few years back was a great thing to witness. I'm not big into the MLS but I should go to a Red Bulls game at some point. It looks like a really fun atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Yeah I don't really have an MLS team. I Would say one of the NY teams but I can't. NYCFC is tied to Man City who are owned by a middle east SWF and are helping ruin soccer. And Red Bulls...no. I would be disowned by the supporters of the team I support, which is Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga. And we crashed out of the Champions League and Europa League comps this year. I've been to Dortmund match and last October to an Amsterdam Ajax match. Intense and fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt8204 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Mask mandate was lifted in my office building. NFL is ending all Covid protocols for now also. So happy and grateful to see this crisis beginning to wind down. I just hope we're not hit with another surprise variant. Fingers crossed that we can enjoy spring and summer relatively worry-free. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they figure that they'll need some assets for their rebuild. Maybe they figure Wilson can play another 5 or 6 years. DK Metcalf might be gone now also. I wonder if Pete Carroll will stick around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
