Luckily found myself in Phoenix this weekend, didn't realize the WBC was going on here, but made it to the Mexico/Colombia game. What a fun atmosphere. About 70% packed. Mexico played very up and down. Arozarena seems like he's ready for a big year.

This. Advancing the storyline probably doesn't mean the same thing to the writers than to some of the audience. If the story line is supposed to be Ellie getting to her destination and scientists studying her and creatine an antidote and saving the world..... then I'm pretty sure the story needs to be as strung out as possible to make it a "story". The friends we made along the way, and what not........

He's literally a welterweight. Under 150 pounds. Pretty sure he got smacked around by Bud Crawford a few years ago (who had a couple brief shots in the movie training with Creed). I tried not to get too much into the weeds about actual boxing shit in the movie, but if you want to go there, let's talk about how Mexicans don't really fight in heavyweight, they're not big enough, and the last one that shocked the world a few years back was like 6'0" 340 with a beer gut the size of a Modelo keg. That would've been hilarious to see across Michael B Jordan.

I gave it a B. I guess it's a boxing movie just as much as any of the Rocky or Creed movies are "boxing" movies, but it's just hard to get over the fast-forward plot techniques they use to write these scripts. This one felt very Disney even, aside from the troubled past storyline..... Majors' character had such a ridiculous story it was hard to take it serious. But I guess that's my first problem.... Majors was good though, and MBJ is ok.

Atmosphere still fun as ever at Q2. Place erupted, and so did I after Maxi brought 3 home. I was ready to see him at minute 60.... Zardes is just ..... there. Like he has been. Same with Rigoni, just out there taking up space running in straight lines. I was ready to see Finlay around minute 60 too. Patience running thinner and thinner each week watching Rigoni.

I had so much fun watching this team in November, December. They are not fun to watch any more, and haven't been for a few weeks. I don't know where we go from here once we get rid of our 5 different European league JAGs we have running this team as veterans, especially since our 5-stars also look like JAGs. They were supposed to raise the ceiling of this team, but they haven't established that they're even Big 12 worthy yet. At least I can confidently say Fuck Chris Beard and his trash ass.
-
I'm not giving him much more, but I have a couple more games into this season left in me before I let my true feelings on Rigoni out, and they're pretty much exactly what you're saying. He has earrings and tattoos like Driussi and they're buddy buddy and can throw a good asada with Urruti and Diego, but I want a mfer that performs, not that makes the South Americans feel more at home in Austin. Welp..... that's a lot of my feelings, but I can go harder if he earns it.

Frustrating fight. Can't believe that knockdown off a little jab to make it dramatic. And the foot slipping. Of course that shit would happen. They won't show or acknowledge the rabbit punching Paul was constantly throwing, off clinches that he was definitely an active participant in instigating (if not majority). Fury deducted a point for holding the head down when Paul's technique had him ducking his head every time he stepped in off a jab. What the hell is he supposed to do? "a bad cut over Fury's eye now, it's those overhand right hands Paul keeps landing"....... 7 seconds later "here you can see the clash of heads that caused the cut over Fury's eye". What a joke of a promotion, but at least they got the decision correct.

There's definitely a few traditions brewing for Austin FC still, just wish beating ourselves wasn't one of them. Stuver had some of those moments last year, good on Wolff to preach the Next Man Up mentality to Keller. Is this just MLS quality, and lots of teams do this type of shit multiple times a year? Or are we an anomaly?
-
Aaaaand it's gone. Skynet playing games with it now. Back down under 2.00.

Coffee question: If I buy a "large" Americano, what goes into the extra few ounces? Am I paying for extra water? I know most espresso drinks are made with a standard (double?) shot, so I can't imagine for a dollar more they're giving you another shot.

You know how you know you’re not cool anymore?

Go over to the "High" thread and read up on the Delta-9 gummies available widely in the State. Including by mail. "Hometown Hero" seems to be a popular distributor, and is veteran owned and proud of it, as required in Texas. -
Yup, the easy route would be to say that he was hurt, he had an excuse, and not work on what needs to be worked on. Hope that's not what he intends to do.

NSIAP but that lil K State fucker that got layup late *past* Timmy Allen (not over), and decided to throw in that stupid "too little" celebration after it, Fuck That Guy. Was so satisfying seeing Bishop make him his bitch for the next trip down the floor. Got the block and the strip on him. The last few weeks have me completely on Team Rice. This kid plays the type of basketball I love to watch, but not sure I've seen someone that plays his style do it with so much fire. He gets me hype because you can tell he hypes himself up with the types of play that others might not care about. Timmy Allen did it today too, after taking a charge. They get hype because they sacrificed for the team in non-scoring ways. Hell yeah. Oh and I didn't want to say it too loud because I know a lot of people weren't J'Onions fans, but he reminds me of J'Covan too. Whom I also loved to watch play basketball.

Interesting. That would've added another layer to the story, imo. Would've liked to have seen it.
-
Nvm, other people have already touched on this. It was a silly comment though. I really really liked Banshees, EEAAO, Top Gun. Triangle of Sadness and Avatar are pretty good, but not sure they're up there for Best Picture, imo. I also think The Menu had similar themes as Triangle.... and did it better.... imo. All Quiet has been pretty good as well, but I'm not blown away. Just kinda reminds me of a few other WWII movies that were also made really well. I get that it's WWI and from a foreign vantage point, but I'm not blown away. I also have 40 mins left and will be finishing tonight....
-
I'm frustrated that both of those picks were on Dak. Not under heavy duress, so bad routes, no interference, just bad throws twice. On him. We've seen him come back from terrible first halves a couple times though....... Let's see.

Glad Moreno came out on top of that rivalry. He always seems like the type of guy to wish everybody well outside of the cage, while Figgy seems like it kills him to fake respect for another champ. I also wondered if Moreno broke an orbital. That eye shutting like that so quickly reminded me of Canelo vs. Saunders. Eyes usually take a beating to shut and swell like that, the Canelo fight was the only other fight I've seen an eye shut and swell within minutes off of one punch. Hill had himself a night. Thought Glover might get put out or at least wobbled a few more times that last round, but Hill was happy with the performance, and so was everybody else. Point made.

Watched the 3rd episode last night and decided I'm out. The original cast being included in the first episodes but only sporadically tells me they're going to feature one or two of them each episode but let the kids (the worst part) carry the show. No thanks. Watching Fez interact with Mr & Mrs Foreman was never where his humor was, outside of a funny eye roll or comment by Red. Watching a full episode of him try to be zany while the Foreman grandparents are still themselves was ... off.

Any news on EOSE recently? Up over 1.70 (my avg, after getting in around 2 a while back). A month ago it was trading at a dollar. Wish I'd gotten more at that price.
-
I muted this dude a while back, he can be a bit much, but I do remember him tweeting about this months ago. Just straight up called it, that they were going to try again in Brazil soon (if Bolsonaro lost).... and here we are. This was all foreseen.

Excited for the fight, finally getting a pair of Top 5 guys in there together again. Best matchup since Loma/Lopez. I'm scared for Garcia though. Could definitely see him getting KOd. I'll be completely honest, I'm hoping for the next great Mexican-American boxer, or even just post-Canelo Mexican great, and I'm not sure he's it. I'm also not sure theres anybody at 135-140-147-154 that can take those belts from the top guys there. Tank, Haney, Stevenson, Crawford, Spence, etc. I guess you go in and use Garcia's length? Tons of jabs and combos to keep distance and try to be fast enough to keep Tank from countering. But Garcia gonna have to find the footwork to do that.
-
I think they were on a bill with Def Leppard a couple years ago? Styx was clearly the "opener" though, my sister says Styx easily put on the show of the night.

Missed this this morning. Not officially validated, but I trust the account, followed them for a while.

Hopefully he's better than Cascante. That's the minimum for me since it appears Gabrielsen wants to go home. Would like another that is also better than Cascante though.
