...since he already answered and gave me the idea to ask the question.
In entertainment, such as movies and TV shows and LEGO themes, can anything truly be better, or are all things in entertainment equal, since everyone's tastes are different, and thus cannot be right or wrong?
From where I stand, the latter is true, purely through logic, not through my opinions. So, is my logic flawed, or does this make factual sense and simply getting tired of arguing?
A true fan isn't blind. A true fan sees that football is gone and may never come back, and while we might prefer for it to be back, we won't storm the stadiums and give Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith petitions saying "OH WE HATE YOU NFL AND NFLPA LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO US SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE REFUSE TO BUY STUFF NOW!".
We are content to stick with baseball, and we realize that after the 1994 strike, it was not quite as bad as people made it out to be.
Who's with me?

An amazing comeback in the ninth inning has the World Series tied up as the Cardinals and Rangers go down deepinthaheartatexas. The pitching showdown between Colby Lewis and Jaime Garcia was scoreless up until the seventh, when the Cardinals drove in the first, and seemingly the winning run. However, a bloop single by Kinsler in the ninth and some nifty baserunning by Texas allowed the Rangers to tie the game off of a sac fly by Josh Hamilton, and then take the lead off of another sac fly in the
After 206 votes, a grand total of 135 people said they were on the "like" side, for 66% of BZPower members. That's down 9% from yesterday's 75%, but still a strong majority. Of the 206, 35 voted on the "dislike" side, resulting in a percentage of 17%--only a 2% gain for the Hero Haters of BZPower. 27 of the 206 didn't care, for a total of 13.71%, while 9 have nulled, for 4% of the vote.
Of the 135 pro-HFers, 38 said they were big fans (28% of the likers, 19.29% of all of BZP), 75 said they li
As some of you may remember, I have a Wii U now, and currently, I'm playing Zelda games. I've played Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, and next on my list is Twilight Princess. On all of my saves, I use the name Sean, because I feel like it. However, in TP, you name the horse as well, and I'm having trouble thinking of a horse name. Sure, I could just go with Epona, but that is uncreative and lame, so I'm not going to choose it. I don't suppose anyone would have any suggestions for me? Oh, an
For the first time since being transferred, I have done something useful! LEGO Catalogs/Mags Arriving LEGOLAND Florida teases Star Wars Expansion And now the weather...
Rangers in five. I expect them to split the first two in AT&T Park, because the Rangers pitch the UNBEATABLE ONE against THE FREAK in game 1, and while Lincecum is terrific, Cliff Lee is better. As for game 2, there's no DH, so Sanchez will beat Wilson. Then the Rangers will have their DH back for the next three games, Colby Lewis will hold the form he had in the ALCS, and the Rangers offense will beat Matt Cain and win game 3. Game 4 will be won by the Rangers bullpen, like it did in the la
I'm watching Phillies @ Braves on MLBN. With a win, the Braves clinch a tie in the Wild Card. Those that get it locally can see Yankees @ Red Sox. Afterwards comes more Pennant Chase Coverage of the Padres @ Giants, and for those who get the local feeds for that game, D-Backs @ Dodgers (Which really isn't Pennant Chase Coverage, since both teams are eliminated).
Anyhow, main thing is, if you have MLB Network. GO THERE!
New York @ Texas
I actually had a prediction that would have been a shocker to most folks.
Rangers win in 5.
True, it requires three more Rangers wins in a row, but it does not seem all that inaccurate. My prediction was based on the pitching matchups they had. I fully believed that C. J. Wilson could, and would, outpitch C. C. Sabathia and win Game 1. After that, Colby Lewis could definitely handle the Yankees longer than Phil Hughes could handle the Rangers. Then you have Cliff Lee in
C. J.'s injury has me convinced. The Giants are going to win the World Series in five games, and it will be no fault of their own. Throughout the postseason, the Giants have won by facing slumping teams. First the Braves, then the Phillies, and now the Rangers cannot do anything that sheer misfortune can't stop.
Unfortunately, that also means we have what is probably the most dull World Series of the past ten years. Never before do I remember a time in the last decade where such a mediocre te
You guys know ought to know which teams are in it, I don't need to tell you. My prediction is the team not named Rangers in six. Now if you don't mind, I'll go away and mourn my misfortune. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Nobody knows the sorrow...
I thought I'd try something for the course of the offseason. It's basically the same as the LEGO.com Comic Caption thing, only baseball.
For the first attempt, I've got this picture from Darth Quade's managerial debut, which was also a game I attended, at Nationals Park.
Grienke is a Milwaukee Brewer.
But of course, most of the folks in Wisconsin are probably too concerned with whether the Packers will get a playoff spot or not, right now.
As this Avengers thingy comes up, it gets me thinking idly of comic book superheroes. I never bought a comic book, and probably never will. But I did watch the DCAU, and several superhero movies, and I have read the histories of various characters online. So I decided to make a list of my favorites. 1) Shazam/Captain Marvel -- I've always liked the Golden Age heroes better than the gritty modern-day versions. Sure, the new age of grim and violent comics for teenagers have its merits, but it de
If he wins this game, his first NFL start will be the Super Bowl.
I am now VIOLENTLY rooting for the Bears, just to see that happen.
BEAR DOWN, BEARS!
But that ain't gonna happen.

Firstly, Week 4 winner: My sister, Megan51, and a slight bit of rotten editing to apply more to the caption.
Secondly, in each edition of the Chicago Cubs' monthly magazine, the Vine Line, there is an illustration in the magazine, and some of them are rather funny. Here's a gallery linking to all of them, on cubs.com: Vine Line Illustrations.
Lastly, the new contest image. This is a photo taken of the Wrigley Field Marquis, during the Allstate Wrigleyville Classic football game between th
I come here every few years just to see what happened. It is like returning to a hometown that never existed, and all the people were fictional characters you made up as imaginary friends, and only a few straggling ghosts roam the grounds as though nothing changed.
I post this just to see if the ghosts can hear. The sensation of wandering in here ever since 2013, when I left the staff, has been haunting.
