  1. Any vote for Heather is a wasted vote. Shan should have saved the extra vote and Naseer goes home anyway, which is actually better for her because now she can go back to Deshawn and Danny to claim she did what they wanted. Got rid of Naseer. The real winner was Ricard, getting Shan to play that extra vote. It would have been great just to watch Liana go home. But, Xander would have been on the chopping block next week without his idol. Maybe instead he plays his extra vote and votes for LIana 2x. In the revote it would have been his two votes versus Deshawn/Danny's votes for Evvie. He's wearing immunity so one or both of Deshawn and Danny would be forced to join him and throw Liana under the bus or to draw rocks between themselves for only one to stay in the game.
  2. During several of my years at Texas the team from the IU chapter of our fraternity would drop out the quarter before the "Little 500" and come down to Austin to live in the house and train. This was four or five years after "Breaking Away" was released. They'd eat breakfast and drive out into the Hill Country and spend all day climbing up and down the hills on their bikes. We wouldn't see them again until dinner and afterward they'd move the tables and spend several hours working on their bikes. Their dedication to the event and the sport was nothing like anything I had ever witnessed before.
  3. "Apocalypse Now Redux." Some of the extra scenes are great, but most (not all) are mediocre detours that detract from the original released version. For instance, I'm grateful for the additional scene of Mr. Clean's funeral and the Chief presenting the boat flag to Captain Willard; however, after the novelty of the following scenes from the French plantation wore off, I find them boring and I'm ready to move on.
  4. Idiot. Nothing like cancelling your own vote.
  5. 100% this There’s a pretty good podcast on iHeartRadio on the issue if anyone is interested “Forgotten: Woman of Juarez”
  6. That culture only exists in Austin. Interesting take.
  7. Correct. Made first contact at the post-season coaches convention in NYC and followed up with a trip to visit CS at his home in Louisville. Voila!
  8. When I was 15 years old I had a Pony League coach throw a pitch up and under my chin during batting practice. I hit the deck and raised hell about him trying to hit me. He explained he wasn't and to get my ass up and get back in box. His next pitch hit me squarely in the middle of the back and he yelled, "There! I was trying to hit you. Feel the difference."
  9. Didn't happen. No one beats Ohio State at night in the 'shoe. No one! The 06' Rose Bowl is the answer. USC fans just showed up to accept the trophy. They couldn't even be bothered to talk shit before the game. To them it was to be a coronation of the greatest team ever. Followed closely by undefeated Arkansas blowing a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, at home, thereby handing their most-hated rival a national title.
  10. They don't need any encouragement to put a bogus claim on a wall.
  11. No. Didn’t say such. In fact, not blowing through would have added to the total games played together. An additional 7 games is the minimum for any team that qualified for the Series. “Asterisk”? I just threw it out there for perspective.
  12. Allow me to preface this by saying “fuck the Yankees.” For perspective, the 1936-1939 Yankees had at least four teammates that played 19 post season games together and would have played a *minimum* of 47 games had they swept an ALDS and ALCS each season. But, the 1949-1953 Yankees played 28 post season games together and would have faced a *minimum* of 35 additional games had they swept an ALDS and ALCS each season (63). On the other hand if you count just the World Series games, Altuve, Correa, Bregman, and Gurriel will have only played half as many (14) games together. just fodder for thought
  13. Fuck the dogshit Yankees. Good riddance.
  14. She was doing the right thing. Weeding out the problem child. Is he no longer making appearances on Rob Cesternino's podcast?
