  1. There won't be nearly as much drama tomorrow with 6 or 8 spots locked in.

    Runner-ups : Shakhtar/Zagreb

    Atalanta is still alive for that spot too

     

     

  2. Halftime, Napoli up 3-0 and Liverpool and Salzburg tied 0-0.  It looks like Napoli will be through with 12 points.  Liverpool will win the group at 13 points with a win, be 2nd at 11 points with a draw.  Salzburg will finish 2nd with a win as long as Liverpool score 2 goals or fewer.

    See how that works? You are wrong when you assume that you can project the outcome of every game based on regular season performance.

    Any "playoff" that doesn't include some objective criteria for entry like winning your conference / division is complete horseshit. College football is the only sport in the entire world that uses the eye test.

    The Giants weren't better than the Patriots that year.

    This thread so far this morning has me wanting to post these lyrics

    I'm feeling more alone
    Than I ever have before
    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
    Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere

    There are few details about those caught in the eruption. Some who had gone to the island were passengers from the Ovation of the Seas, a cruise ship owned by Royal Caribbean.

    How many do they lose on a normal cruise, 30? 40?

    There was an actual Chinese tourist who fell into a mountaintop lava lake in the Congo a few years ago.  I do not believe there is any video available.

    Thank goodness it wasn't the guide with the yellow umbrella or all 25 of them would have been lost.

    Yep.  I watched Home Alone today and it triggered it.

    I only saw Home Alone 2.  I hated it...I didn't know what was going on.

    "...So the Union Army could practice fighting on grass."

    bonus question---Joe Pepitone (a rather pedestrian Yankee for just 7 seasons hitting .252) is referred to once by Kramer on the Handsome Carriage ride (referenced in above post).

    He's mentioned two other times on the show...can you name 'em?

    I believe he mentions him when describing his short lived stint at the fantasy camp. 

    Yes, he was crowding the plate.  Kramer had to plunk him, leading to the brawl where Kramer punched Mickey Mantle.

    The other was when George suggested Joe Pepitone day at Yankee stadium. 

    I was thinking that he was also mentioned in the episode where George loses his Phil Rizzuto keychain in a filled in pothole but google shows me I was mistaken on that one.

    the biggest indictment of the CFP system is that nobody else uses it.  wake me up when MLB or the NFL or NBA or NHL says, "hey, we should do what college football does.  let's pick who we think are the 4 best teams and let them have a playoff.  forget winning your division as some sort of automatic entry.  let's subjectively pick the 2 best from the AFC and the 2 best from the NFC and have a playoff with them.  they can do it with over 100 schools.  we can do it with 32 teams."

    None of those organizations have a goal of making sure the best team is deemed to be the champion.  They have a goal of creating artificially high stakes at the end of the season to make more money.

  8. I could have sworn I heard Looch say aggy was headed for a prestigious florida bowl*

     

    *He really does try to push the idea that playing a bowl in florida is something to be strived for and definitively better than the other lower tier bowls.  Maybe they teach it at fish camp now.
