  1. I know it isn't a need, but Mike Green is going to be a stud. Surprised he slipped. Would not be mad if we picked him up based on value alone. Same with Arroyo from Miami. I'd get the highest graded player still on our board at 34, one of the ISU receivers at 58 (or trade up to get 'em if we have to), and all OL in round 3.
  2. This shit is funny. If she is annoying you she is doing her job as an actress. Who cares if she doesn’t look like the person in the game. It’s like getting mad they cast different races in LOTR. The character is a 19 year old orphaned adrenaline junky immune to the infected that doesn’t want to be told what to do. She’s supposed to be a bit of a cunt. Bella is doing a fine job. Better not watch that Fantastic Four trailer and see who is playing the Silver Surfer!!
  3. I guess I don't mind the actress playing Ellie? She certainly is not attractive, so I guess people are bumping their head on that. I think she is doing a pretty good job. She was badass in GoT.
  4. Draymond just camps in the lane. Does defensive 3 seconds no longer exist? Couldn’t have played worse other than Alpy.

    And Bukari comes in and kicks ass today. Glad Vasquez got that goal. He seemed snakebit. I don’t know what 14 was doing before the penalty getting caught up with Fagundez. He froze his own teammate out.

    Fun so far but no goals. We are better with Obrian in than Bukari. We just are.
  7. Maybe my adjectives were off. It’s amazing that they may go three for three. I don’t think there is any doubt about that. It’s just an interesting fact of life in European soccer given the fast rise that a player that was perhaps one of the best in the league a level down can’t see the pitch anymore. A victim of the success of the team in a lot of ways. I just think it would be cool to have some Yanks on the team. I am sure they aren’t going to shoehorn one on that’s not a good fit.
  8. This is pretty amazing. What’s wild is they could decide to move on from Paul Mullen if they get promoted. If they get promoted, they need to get some Americans on the team next year. Sargent, Haji, CCV types.
  9. Hot take..... Maeve is the "grass" and is working some sort of revenge angle on Brosnan and the family. Someone tipped them to where that dude's body was buried. Also, I'm not sure the grandkid did the murder unless I nodded off in the first episode. He hasn't admitted it fully yet, right?
  10. The new USS Callister somehow went first on my Netflix. It was good. The Rashida Jones one was excellent but super dark and worrisome because, well, something like that is bound to happen. Although Upload kinda did it first in a way when it stole its idea from San Junipero. See how idea theft comes back full circle? Bete Noir was silly, but I enjoyed it.
  11. I mean, the sample size for top 5 picks is, what, Danny Ferry and Christian Laettner (who was a several time all star) >30 years ago? I'd suggest Redick, Grayson Allen, and even Luke Kennard outplayed their draft position over the course of their career.
  12. Dope Thief has been really good. I am a little confused as to some plot/motivations. But imagine things will become clear.
  13. They represented Dominion against Fox et al and made a cool few hundred million on the settlement.
  14. Susman Godfrey, who made nine figures on a contingency fee in the Dominion case, just got EO’d. They will fight. They don’t have a transactional group that will lose deals.
  15. I always wonder with guys like Ian Jackson if they got Maalik Murphy'd and essentially constructively "released" via a material reduction in NIL money. It's always hard to know when someone enters the portal. Duke fans were killing Murphy when he entered the portal, then come to find out, Duke basically told him he should (whether explicitly or implicitly).
  16. I wasn’t joking above. We are playing three teams that need to win, so it won’t be exhibition basketball. Put Reed and Cam in there to both see what you have and build trade value for this summer. Give them both >25 minutes each game.
  17. Clinched second, unleash Cam and Reed.
  18. This is so fucking dumb, but his followers will believe it. They are promising $100M, or whatever, in pro bono services. I am not defending these law firms from caving... it's cowardice. But if you read what Paul Weiss or Skadden, for instance, agreed to, they aren't really doing anything they wouldn't be anyway outside killing their DEI programs. To put it in perspective, $100M at the highest available rates (which is what will be applied) is 50-100 hours per lawyer at a firm like Paul Weiss or Skadden (and it's probably less given how rates are going up). Over number of years, that's already happening. But it's not like they are cutting $100M checks to the government. The partnership would revolt. This is all performative by dear leader. Still, it will be interesting to see if there is a stigma in recruiting associates (both lateral and out of law school). I think there will be. I think if a collection of firms, starting with the 20 or so on the EEOC list that haven't caved, could unify on this, it could really create some noise. I'll be interested to see how the EEOC letters get addressed. Managing partners/firm CEOs of the Biglaw firms get together and talk on lots of things. They have conferences to share ideas, they self-insure together, etc. My guess is most will ignore or quietly respond to the EEOC letters. But there is opportunity here to do something significant. I won't hold my breath.
  19. Without a coach they are going to be running in Circles. That is unless they have a White Iverson waiting in the wings. I really don't think it will be Better Now, and Joker should probably Leave next year and say his Goodbyes.
  20. Kinda pissed they moved away from the tone of the show. That was fucking heavy. Like they tacked on a Tarantino ending that weirdly seemed predictable. Who is going to that resort now? Would have preferred something random and funny I guess like Coolidge trying to jump off the boat and smack her head on the rail on the way over. Or Murray Bartlett taking a dump in the asshole’s room before getting accidentally stabbed. Seemed like a different show. oh well.

    So as fucking cheesy and ridiculous and dumb as that was about 50 minutes into this last episode…. It still got to me. Dammit.
  22. Me watching the finale…..
