    Looking at SPAXX, it has a 42bps expense ratio. Is that return after expenses?

    At least the Angels have gone for it. Third largest TV market and the largest contract they ever handed out was for Andrew Benintendi. Where the owner has come out an publicly said, finishing 2nd is ideal. White Sox FA contract: Andrew Benintendi, OF (5/$75M, 2022) Extension: Yoán Moncada, 3B...

    They're going to need the owner to die. It's like the Blackhawks all over except you can watch home games on TV.

    She hosted "Restaurants At The End Of The World" for NatGeo which was pretty interesting. She's no Padma, but they could have done much much worse. I think it's going to be fun watching a former contestant be the host.

    Home Improvement

    I've seen more houses in my area (Seattle) where instead of building a new second floor, they jacked up the first floor and built a new floor underneath it. It avoids you having to redo the roof and the new first floor can be built to support the existing floor. Like Palum said, it was always...

    My wife is 38 weeks pregnant. We're also season ticket holders to the Kraken. Her last game was Monday as she just couldn't handle it physically anymore. But she told me I can keep going until her water breaks. She's the best hockey wife. Also, she let me name the cat Biscuit, even thought...

    So does he get suspended or no? He's a star, ref didn't blow the whistle yet, but the puck isn't even near them. McCann confirmed out for at least 1 game.

    I was at the Bruins/Kraken game last night and that was the most fun I've had at a Kraken game (besides the result). It was loud and felt like a playoff game. It was nice to see the Kraken hang with the Bs, who are a much more skilled team. If they play like that in April and May, they could...

    https://theathletic.com/4158753/2023/02/05/kraken-sharks-jaycob-megna/ Kraken needed more D help especially with Shultz out. Getting a first pair defenseman for a 4th is a steal. Him and Oleksiak on the second pair is going to be bruising.

    1 second off of the NHL record for fastest OT goal. My wife always complains about staying for OT, which we've seen in 4 of the last 5 home games. I always just tell her, it's going to be over quick. I was extra right this time.
