I was rereading a few old discussions on this thread. I think this is one of, if not the, best threads on the board for debate and discussion. It rarely gets personal or defensive, and I suppose a lot of that is because a lot of people are interested, but not a whole lot are emotionally invested the way we are with our GAA teams etc. Mind you, I would put my allegiance to the Cardinals up quite high
MLB season is just around the corner as well as March Madness Final Four. We actually have a 10 seed (Syracuse) in the final four as 3 of the 4 #1 seeds were knocked out at the elite 8 stage. Kansas fell to #2 Villanova, Oregon were handled by #2 Oklahoma, and Syracuse took care of Virginia. Only North Carolina remain as a #1 seed, having beaten Notre Dame in the elite 8.
UNC play Syracuse and Oklahoma play Villanova in the final four, and the championship game will be on Monday. My money's on Oklahoma at this stage I think.
Baseball spring training is drawing to a close, and Opening Day is officially April 3rd, with the Cardinals playing the Pirates, the Rays and the Blue Jays, and the champion Royals against the runner up from 2015, the New York Mets.
It's always a nice feeling when Baseball starts up, as it's a real sign of summer coming down the road, so go Diamondbacks!
I think im going to give the fantasy baseball a go this year, I can barely name any players outside of the Blue Jays so it'll be a difficult learning experience.
Has anyone else done it before? Any tips?

So you are arguing and even spitting at people for arguments that 'you wouldn't put it past them to make' but that nonetheless you don't know and don't care whether they made them or not?
I don't care much for springsteen. It's not like you and your lefty pals haven't defended these crims being heralded before.
I'm surprised you haven't been screaming about the big case in Chicago were the cop was indicted today on first degree murder and the video is about to hit the public.

After missing out on buying one of those turbo trainers in Aldi I started looking to buy one online.
Found out you can actually buy virtual trainers that let you 'ride' any route in the world by inputting the GPS data or by pre made videos and the turbo trainer automatically adjusts the resistance to simulate going up hills etc. You can have virtual races against other riders who have the same software also. I think that's pretty f**king cool to be honest!
As someone who loves their gadgets I took the plunge and ordered one yesterday!
This is the one I ordered

It's expensive on the site but I got it for around €200 less on eBay brand new from a store in Italy.

What exactly happened here, I'm not 100% sure! Did the guy to go down first just lose it or was he clipped by the rider going past him to his right? Who is at fault?

My Dutch isn't great. What was happening at the end with the official car and the guy doing a bird impression?

The Tale of Gatti-Ward
Documentary on the Arturo Thunder Gatti/Irish Micky Ward trilogy. Reckoned to contain some of the best rounds of boxing ever witnessed.
Excellent documentary, covering the fights and the aftermath. Very sad at the end.

Not sure if this should be on the WTF thread ?
