I honestly don't know beyond internet rumor mongering as well, but his rise at Oregon coincides with the Willie Lyles era. All that seems positively archaic by today's standards.

I haven't been on this thread in a hot minute. That Hawk>T Coast> Smith Point adventure was a fucking movie back in the day. I never cared that much for the Tune. The Shitty service and ass food didn't make up for the cheap ish drinks and it never had the dark, "let's make some poor life choices" atmosphere that the old school Hawk had. Fun fact: I used to live directly across the street from the rear of the Hawk. Ever since the Lounge died, the Hill just hasn't had a lot of quality get shitty drinking options (and it never had as much as other parts of town to begin with). For those that didn't hear, the man that ruled DC nightlife and pretty much sole handedly created H street died in 2020. https://dcist.com/story/20/08/24/joe-englert-dc-restaurant-bar-owner-obituary/

I was always sort of under the impression he talked Knight into pushing Bellotti into AD/retirement so they could implement a pay to play system and let Kelly run wild with the spread attack. Anyway, UCLA definitely backing into the BIG1G rn.

This. Given the deadmoney hit they just took and everything else, the Broncos are in full tank now mode.

This has been rehashed a million times, but the Falcons have effectively given Cousin's a 2 year deal they can (relatively) affordably cut and walk away from in 2026. In effect, they've elected to try and bring in a veteran while they have their core rookies on value bargain deals and hope they can put a run together. The weakness in their division (the Panthers are quickly becoming the most poorly run franchise in the league, the Saints are grasping at straws with an aging core and Derek Carr, and the Bucs are meh) suggests that it's a pretty sound strategy, assuming Cousin's Achilles holds up. It's pricey, but a better option than hoping Desmond Ritter is going to stop being ass or that the 8 pick is going to net them a qb that will get them to the promised land while the core of the team is still cheap. This and the weird Steelers situation are just further examples of teams trying to figure out how to win with talented core's while not attaching themselves to a QB who is going to bankrupt the talent pool of the team. We are likely to see more, not less, creative QB solutions in the future.

This movie had it's moments, but it doesn't hold a candle to Miami Vice.

Jesus Christ, how am I the one asking where the gif of Pedo Bear at the bar from the Penn State bowl game? I wasn't even at the game. Y'all are slipping.

This is an odd trade unless the Seahawks aren’t sure about Geno and would like to see if Howell can do something when he’s not running for his life. Backups don’t cost you a 3rd rounder.

Because he’s about to be the most expensive RB in the league.

This. we just need to start DST later in the spring. A lot of people do not realize how close to our monkey ancestors we are when it comes to daylight. Anyone who has lived through a multi day power outage, and starts going to bed at dark knows what I mean. Humans are not physically or mentally equipped to handle rapid time zone changes. And that’s functionally what we all just experienced.

Jesus Christ, they sell heated socks and hand warmers at the Costco. This isn’t rocket surgery.

In the least, Spring forward should go back to the beginning of April so it doesn't feel like flying across 3-4 time zones.

A few years ago, the Senate approved a permanent move to DST by voice vote, but it never moved in the House. The bill was sponsored by the FL delegation, which as the eastern most southern state and a state that lives and dies off beach tourism, benefits the most from permanent DST. The problem is large swaths of the nation wouldn't see sunrises until well after 8 and sometimes 9 in the morning. WHich is why virtually every scientist recommends Standard, not DST as the year around time. While it's fun to have sunlight late in the evening, from a practical perspective as humans that evolved to wake with the sun and sleep with the night, we need more morning light, not less. It's why your dog is also so miserable: they have evolved to rise and sleep with us and it's very hard on them. Fun fact: in 2005, Congress extended DST by 4 weeks. For the last two ish decades it's started 3 weeks earlier in the spring and a week later in the fall. That's part of the reason it feels so damn severe for most of us: The diurnal shock is much more aggressive than it used to be, when it was mostly about getting an extra hour at the bar in the fall.

But that's basically it, while they are printing cash for Andy Cohen.

They pay absolute shit, according to Eddie.

Meh. She’s in the middle of the road with the flat armadillos. What exactly does she bring to the table other than the title of United States Senator? If I’m a Democrat I hate here, if I’m a GOP I don’t trust her, since she mostly played the role of useful idiot. Her life is somewhere out side of DC. She has no value to anyone here. She’s Joe Liebermann in drag.

We will see if they ever actually end up buying those planes, or their just trying to goose Airbus into moving them up in line for deliveries. American already flies lots of Airbus and must be moving to Embraer (which I love flying on for regional jumps) to get rid of those awful Bombardiers.

Also: Like The Great Escape and Stalag 17 exist, you don't need to spend a lot of time on the prison camp element. I guess you could make it darker and more death-y, but that's a pretty well worn path in American Cinema.

My only complaint is I wish they had introduced the struggles of the escort pilots sooner. Trying to dogfight in a plane that can get to Berlin, but will kill the pilot if you dive (P-38), or trying to dogfight in a plane that can mostly go toe to toe with a BF-109 and FW-190, but is on fumes (and couldn't climb) trying to get to and from the bomb site (P-47). Everyone remembers the salad days of late 1944 when P-51s scoured the skies clean, but those early pilots in late 1943 were fighting both the machines they were flying and the Germans, while desperately trying to keep the B-17s in the air.

What part of 100 years of Hollywood shoving something down your throat until you want to puke are you confused by?

Loved it, but as somebody who went to school in New England and has had mental health issues in my family, it punched me in the chest for sure. Will become a Christmas staple.

So here’s a question for the Surly Law Dogs: when he inevitably starts running out of money, how does a court break out the paternity payments? Is it like bankruptcy where there are senior and junior debt holders?

Man, speaking of Dusty TV moments, In Excelsis Deo is up there:
