  1. What were thinking? Holding a Scout-O-Rama in a park?!! Come on man, it's 2023.
  2. that is how a society armed to the teeth is going to have to behave. Don't dare talk to someone, good chance you could get shot. Don't knock on someone's door, good chance you could get shot. Don't drive up a driveway mistakenly, good chance you could get shot. Don't look at someone funny, good chance you could get shot. Don't play baseball out in the open, good chance you could get shot. Don't go to your place of worship, good chance you could get shot. Don't attend a school, good chance you could get shot. this is all learned behavior. I have learned not do these things if i want to give myself a good chance of continuing to live to a ripe old age. And as a result it is turning us into a pretty shitty society where we just dont physically interactive with anyone anymore, It's a threat to one's own very existence. avoid, avoid, avoid.. stop doing those things.. stop interacting with people, it could get you killed. It is changing our society and how we live, make no doubt of that.
  3. well that aged well.. needed 6 points from those first 4 games - got 1. 97% chance of relegation. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/premier-league/
  4. ... and Burnley earned promotion today.
  5. three way tie with Chelsea, Spurs, & Southampton only one is Championship bound - nice knowing ya.
  6. yes.. definitely misleading.. The Waterline (which is getting built) is designed to be 1022 feet. The tallest building in Texas currently is in Houston : JPMorgan Chase Tower @ 1,002 feet
  7. bummer. Plans for Austin’s 80-Story Tower Cut in Half It was supposed to be the State of Texas’s tallest building. Wilson Capital’s plans for Wilson Tower called for 80 stories. The company still plans to build its apartment tower, but a scaled back version; 45 stories. https://www.connectcre.com/stories/plans-for-austins-80-story-tower-cut-in-half/
  8. I can’t recall it ever being this chilly in late April. a bit weird and spooky out there.
  9. i am not looking forward to it, that is for sure.
  10. i get that, but it's a TV show with an American football coach managing a Premier League team. I've already suspended a lot of disbelief. Ted was "tripping".. at least have something interesting come of that. Call it the "whirlydo" formation or something. i can already hear in my head the voice of Milo Hamilton - "oh my, Richmond is employing a "Total Football" strategy!" in next weeks episode. Yawn.
  11. 1) Rebecca's "journey" bores me. Felt like I was watching a gauzy Hallmark channel movie. 2) I was relieved Keely's "adventure" was not shown. 3) Laugh out loud moments for me : was the Jamie/Roy bike lesson and piggy stardust. 4) I wanted Ted's football strategy session to be more than : "oh, that has been done before. Sure we can try that". I was hoping for a completely inventive thing, even if it is entirely made up for show. 5) Team members "hijinks" in the hotel all night seemed pointless and was unfunny. I probably should stop commenting on/watching this show... I find myself getting more irritated as i watch.
  12. Brighton is the 2015/2016 version of Southampton. Everton threw money at Koeman (who had a year left on his contract) , bigger clubs lured Saints best players away, and then player recruitment/evaluation was a disaster. Don't worry, Brighton will be fighting relegation in 3 years time.
  13. the writing and acting is so good, that plot advancement hardly matters. Greg has turned into a little turd. The short exchange between Marcia and Willa was awesome (you've turned out well) Who is the father of Shiv's baby? Kendall being surprised that Marcia showed up? Come on, that shouldn't be a shock to anyone The kids joking about Logan's obit. Frank is probably the most decent guy on the show. Pre-grieving is a one-off joke, but cuts pretty deep when you think about it. a catatonic smiling Sandy.
  14. yeah, i was trying to figure out what everyone was talking about with the "long take". (was thinking more like what you see from Scorsese, Anderson, Cuarón, etc). ... but i guess if 3 or 4 cameras are filming Shiv, Roy and Kendall in the yacht cabin at the same time (real time) that makes more sense. They just cut and pasted a particular shot from a particular camera in the editing room and pieced it together. I assume that strategy was to give the actors a break and have them react to each other in real time - not having them attempt to pull off an emotional scene in isolation with multiple takes. will have to look at it again.
  15. here, here.. i mean.. when Ted was giving his speech, talking about the players just need to be true to themselves, i was said to myself.. get ready for the quick shot of the closeted gay player (who has been so badly developed, i cant even tell you his name). and i think there has been more hot chick lesbo action after a couple glasses of wine on a couch depicted on screen than has actually occurred in real life.. pretty played.
  16. an acronym that you can pronounce as a word would help.
  17. So Foster is dead and Perry goes free because Foster was ineffective at standing his ground?
  18. Abbott is basically confirming his position: black lives don't matter. (yes, i know the victim was white, but he was participating in a BLM rally. Abbott is saying with his actions that the deceased, his life, literally didn't matter.)
  19. whoa. was that deflected twice? looks like the balls spins off his right hand heading back toward the goal and then he blocks it for good with his left hand.
  20. me too.. and i was like, please, please, please dont make this a fake/trick. that would have been lazy, very manipulative, and disappointing.
  21. That was riveting.
  22. #2 on that highlight reel is the most famous his.
  23. i had 4 sent of in FIFA. <humblebrag>
  24. its the hope that kills you. Southampton on 23 points - need to get to 36 points to possibly have a chance. So 13 points needed with 9 matches left. City (h) L Palace (h) W Arsenal (a) L Bournemouth (h) W Newcastle (a) L Forest (a) W Fulham (h) W Brighton (a) L Liverpool (h) D There is not reason for me to offer that Saints get 4 wins in 9 games, after only getting 6 in the past 29.
