I don't like that if a player refuses to play for your team in the NFL, you still have to pay him. Example Carson Palmer with the Bengals before they traded him to Oakland. Now Seattle might have to deal with the same thing with Marshawn Lunch. If a player is under contract and refuses to play he shouldn't get paid.

1. fuck owners
2. fuck the Bengals especially
3. (serious answer) both cases were retirement cases. whether or not they were ever meant to be permanent (Palmer's didn't seem to be, but I'm kind of surprised Marshawn is coming back), the idea that retirement should void a contract is problematic at best

Cardinals game was postponed today so I didn't watch any sports. I've completely lost my mind so I'm now playing Persona 5 after finishing Andromeda. Anyone into these games? It's my first Persona and it's very interesting and weird. I can feel the hooks going into me

I played Persona 3 and it was maybe a little too much of a dating simulator for me, with a touch of Atlus' usual unfair battles where the enemies KO you in one or two turns. Despite all that, it was a good game. I want to get 5 but I'm waiting on a sale since my backlog is already too large.

Can someone who knows more about baseball than me explain why this happens?
Opening week Twins schedule:
Home opener: Monday - 3pm
Wednesday - noon
Thusday - noon


If at least one of those games was at 5pm or later, they would probably get double the attendance and TV viewers. Would baseball players get extreme fatigue if they played a 7pm game and then a noon game the next day? I just don't get it.

I don't know why they're doing that. A lot of teams like to do opening day as a day game because people are willing to take days off work to enjoy it and things like that. That's an unusual number of day games in a week.

If it's like old County Stadium in Milwaukee and why the Cubs do it, but having more day games in early April is so players don't play as much in cooler/cold weather. Having the games in the day time, it's usually warmer than the evening and night.

Was Andromeda good? All I hear was people hating it because the lead developer doesn't like white people or something. I've never played a Mass Effect game.

Should I get the old Mass Effect games instead?

@SkynyrdRocker it's good but the old ones are better. Unfortunately the first one has aged terribly so there's no good entry point anymore but I love the series

@MNTwins1991 congrats on the trip to London. Anti congrats on liking the Vikings too much.

Have we talked about the Braves yet? They just got Ryan Howard today.

Howard
Phillips
Markakis
Kemp
Dickey
Colon

It reminds me of the early-mid 2000's Orioles, except the Braves actually have a good farm system...

Hanzal tried clearing it and it smacked the linesman hard right in the face (I actually watch the games)

he bled a lot, laid on the ice for a while, and there was a big delay, and he got taken into the locker room and hasn't returned yet
