@WesDurham @Phil_B_Hughes Your ability to not only know all this but pull it out when it happens is unbelievable. If you guys ever want to see a savant when it comes to team nicknames, try and get one by Wes. He knew the Arena League 3 nicknames.

@WesDurham @archerqb16 Today my Bride and I were listening to the home feed of the playoff games and she commented- “I had no idea how good the Falcons guys were until today!” Just wanted to say how thankful we were for you skill and class!!

@TheLaurenChen The Chinese are world class in coming into 3rd world countries taking their resources and leaving them with broken promises.

People often say that the developing world is poor because the Western world colonized them and stole their resources. The truth, however, is that over the past century, the developing world has, for the most part, shown that they are completely incapable of harnessing their own resources. They are not poor because we stole from them. They are poor because they do not know how to run and administer their own countries, resources be damned. Take Venezuela. The world's largest oil reserves mean nothing if you have a corrupt communist as your leader. People will actually be starving and trying to eat zoo animals while you sit on trillions of dollars in resources! Africa is another example. Europeans left behind farmland, trains, roads, and mines in Africa. What happened to it all? It's not that all of a sudden, the Africans started running things like anti-colonialist activists had envisioned at the time. No, no. All the infrastructure fell into disrepair and/or was stripped down and looted. They were literally handed fully functioning, completed supply chains for resource extraction, and basically unlimited wealth, but they couldn't manage the simple upkeep. Now, the defense for Africa might be that "The Europeans didn't teach the Africans how to manage any of this! It's not the Africans' fault they couldn't run it independently! They were never trained!" But my brother in Christ, the Europeans DID try to train locals for management! Obviously it would have been easier to have at least some locals in administration, rather than having to import an ENTIRE workforce, but efforts to find African talent were largely unsuccessful. Don't believe me? Just look at the different outcomes in Hong Kong and Singapore when compared to Africa. In East Asia, Europeans often did work with locals in administrative and management capacities. When colonialism ended, Hong Kong and Singapore were able to manage themselves. Not the case with Africa. Now, none of this is to say that colonialism is good. People have the right to self-rule and seld-determination. However, the idea that colonialism and resources extraction are responsible for the developing world's ongoing poverty? That is quite simply a crock of shit.

Georgia Tech wideout Malik Rutherford plans to only play the first drive today, per coach Brent Key. Key explained how Rutherford has “played every game in his senior season” and plans to extend this milestone today “without playing the full game”

Bottom of the 9th, Game 7 of the World Series. Bases loaded, 2 outs, and your team is down by 1 Mariano Rivera is on the mound. You have your choice of any hitter, of any era, in his prime. Who gets the call?

@CrosbyBaseball They need to find some more peers that player with and against him. He was a much more important player than Kent and he has much better stats.

#Braves legend Dale Murphy received six of the twelve votes he needed for Hall of Fame induction. While he received enough to stay on the ballot for the next time the Contemporary Era comes around, I'm just gutted that he AGAIN was not deemed worthy by his peers.

Six lousy votes? I am, like so many of you, angry tonight. It’s beyond disappointing. But never forget Murph has something far more precious than a plaque: the admiration and respect of millions. The people’s champion.

With Georgia Tech now in need of an offensive coordinator, gotta wonder if maybe former QB George Godsey could be a candidate. Godsey is currently the Ravens tight ends coach and played with Brent Key on the flats in 2000.
