  1. And he sucks in the NFL....
  2. I award you 10 internet points for being right. But I also subtract 20 internet points for the "I was right and everyone else was wrong" post. Shit's hella lame. The Texas Longhorns fired his ass. He's not a "true Longhorn".
  3. What was the worse, program-catering move? The Browns giving up three #1s, two #4s and one #3 for Deshaun Watson, and then signing the guy with multiple rape accusations to a fully-guaranteed five-year $230 million contract, or the Aggies giving Jimbo Fisher a guaranteed ten year $95 million contract only to fire him two season later?
  4. Sure. It's just that it makes for boring television. He feels like a completely wasted (literally and figuratively) character. What's the point?
  5. My PTA ranking: 1a) There Will Be Blood 1b) Boogie Nights 1c) Magnolia Seriously can't choose between the three. They're all perfect. Slight Drop 4) Phantom Thread 5) Punch Drunk Love Excellent films. Just a notch below the top three. Slight Drop 6) Hard 8 7) Licorice Pizza Very good movies. Hard 8 being his first film, it shows the promise of what's to come. Licorice Pizza is just a straightforward (for PTA) coming of age/love story that I really enjoyed. It's just not as ambitious or grand as the films in the top two tiers. Pretty Big Drop 😎 The Master 9) Inherent Vice I understand that The Master is an epic film. I just thought it was boring. Inherent Vice is the only PTA film I haven't finished. Tried watching it twice and was so bored I fell asleep both times and never bothered powering through to finish.
  6. Wasn’t he fong’d to ND like 2 months ago?
  7. He's got elite speed, so he'll get drafted by someone who thinks they can scheme around it. But where does he play in the NFL? What does he do? He's not big enough, can't run inside, and has too many ball security issues to be a starting RB. He's probably not big enough to pick up blitzing LBs nor are his hands good enough to be a third down back. Is he a returner like Turpin? He wasn't our primary kick return guy, and with his hands, not sure he can be trusted to cleanly field punts. I'm just not sure where he plays in the NFL.
  8. I'll be a good Samaritan and offer Leslie Bibb the aisle and sit in the middle between her and Parkey Posey.
  9. Started the first two episodes of Adolescence last night. Really "enjoying" it so far. I think the single-shot per episode is ambitious and impressive, but it's got its drawbacks. Particularly in the chase scene where the detective and the kid are "sprinting" at half-speed so the steady cam operator can keep up and film the action. It looked ridiculous and was very distracting.
  10. It would be wild if Maryland ended up with 2 of the top 4 overall prospects in the country.
  11. Get the chorizo stuffed dates. When we went with our young children a few years back, the uber drivers didn't care if the kids were in car seats, but they weren't infants. Regardless, I don't think the drivers will care. As far as safety was concerned, traffic in the loop goes so slow that even if you were to get into an accident, there's not a high likelihood of anyone sustaining a bad injury. And the loop is pretty much the only place where it's very difficult to find parking. Anything can happen, but you're cruising along at like 25 miles an hour tops for most of the time. When we head into the loop, we always hop on the nearest train, take it to the spot closest to where we want to go, and then either walk or take an uber to our destination. I think that's the easiest and most affordable way to get around downtown.
  12. I've invested too much time to bail, but I'm kind of hate-watching this show now. My complaints: I give absolutely zero fucks about what's going on in the adult timeline. Like, none at all. Especially after they killed of Juliette Lewis' character. The introduction of new survivors in the kids' timeline. We knew who survived, show writers. Sorry you ran out of ideas with the core group and wanted Shanna to have a lesbian experience in the wilderness. Lastly, NOTHING IS HAPPENING!
  13. I also think Innie Mark figured that, provided Lumon doesn't murder him, Outie Mark would eventually find Gemma and explain everything. And that's outie Mark's job. Not innie Mark's job, which is to try to get laid by Helly one more time.
  14. I'd oblige a Piper/Parker Posey threesome....
  15. In addition to "Snow white is supposed to be white, not brown" - Brown-skinned Snow White actress decided to go off script during press junkets and weigh in on the Israel/Palestine conflict, creating a major conflict with her Israeli co-star. She also bad-mouthed Trump and his supporters on social media. All of this while promoting the film. Not smart. They also removed the white Prince from the story. That's my guess
  16. There’s a 150+ page thread discussing it in the basketball forum.
  17. The weirder thing is googling 30 links to awards Tim Tebow won. Imagine being that into a dude that was a virgin until he was like 25
  18. I finally listened to the new Isbell record. I find it to be incredibly boring. It’s not bad. It’s just boring.
  19. He just knows his audience better than anyone else, and tells them what they want to hear.
  20. nttawrt! get your freak on! Eiffel Tower that groomsman with Jay!
  21. You were in a groomsman? With another dude named Jay? At the same time?
  22. On a related note, this is probably the latest spring bloom that I can remember. I usually see the first bluebonnets popping up the last week of February, but almost always within the first week of March. I've seen no bluebonnets, indian paintbrushes or mexican hats pop up. The trees are still barren for the most part. It's kind of confusing because the winter wasn't particularly cold, we've had mostly warm spring-like days since mid-February, and we got some rain this winter. Not sure why the plants aren't popping.
  23. I did the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" procedure about college football in 2022 so I have no idea what you're insinuating, good sir....
