    Watching in Cabo. We should play Mexico here. Same effect as playing them in the Rose Bowl because it’s 80% Americans.
  2. I’ll be completely honest here. In some ways, this is better. It’s implicit admission and makes him look like a coward. I am probably in the minority on that but we could start paying attention to the important things again if he were to hightail it. Sure the press would spend their 5 minutes here and there nightly on it. But it essentially ends him as a politician here.
  3. Ok. But that second team QB is going to get us a winning record and a good bowl game even with a defense coached by peak Manny _iaz with assistance from Aggie era Torbush. And the alternative is getting intentionally Marshalled into a Mountain, so I’ll take it Analogy gone too far I guess….
  4. Fuck that. Biden has been as effective as possible give the insane asylum in the House. And any Dem or moderate that thinks different is a fucking concern troll.
  5. The problem is that even if the other 4 or 5 candidates take away 1/2 of Trump’s current baseline with GOP, they are still splitting it and Trump still wins a plurality. They are playing a game of chicken with the hope that DJT has to drop out and the one that quasi supports him the longest sweeps up his base. It’s a fucking tontine for his voters.
  6. So I realize the interview gets shut down immediately, but would love to see someone say... "Senator Graham, I need time to set up this next question so I am going to mute your mic. You said X, Y, and Z about Trump in 2015 and 2016. You did not like the man at the time and thought he'd be bad for the country. There areample public and private statements to that fact. At some point, your public support of Trump took a 180 such that you are proliferating what we all, including you, know are lies.... or for the sake of decorum, we'll call them the Republican view of things. All of that leads me to ask, Senator Graham, what do Trump and his allies have on you that would create such a dynamic shift, and why does it include pictures of moles on your ass?" Then let the body language experts take it from there. They are usually right.
  7. <sigh> I remember when I was hopeful that best case, Trump was America's Berlusconi. <sigh>

    Yeah… that was all pretty shitty. I’ll be stunned if they fire Wolff after last year. He gets 2024 I bet a. Maybe I’ll be able to upgrade season tickets if we tank this year. I have no idea how MLS contracts work but we need to cycle out Ring and Rigoni and get some real DPs. Would love to see us throw money at a Tim Ream type. No idea how to make that happen. But get a veteran defender on downside but still effective. Like a better version of what we got from Besler in year one. Gabrielson was kind of that. I’ve liked the Serb but sounds like we could lose him in a month?
  9. Yeah…. That wasn’t exactly Griffey Jr right there. Duke can hit. I am not sure they can slow Virginia down but I bet UVA has to get more than 5 to win.

    The Ted Lasso cameo ain’t nothin’, right? . . . Right?
  11. Man, cool to see Duke doing well in Baseball. From 1995 until this current coach got there Duke baseball was amazingly worse than Duke football with a scandal or two to boot. The field was a joke. They gave that really good Vandy team a scare a few years back until Rocker no hit them. Hope they can get it done this year.
  12. I love the two league idea but it will never, ever, ever happen in US soccer. Uk/European football clubs have decades of not a century of support behind them National League games in the UK sell put. When Austin FC gets relegated we get left with Austin Aztecs level attendance immediately in a lower league. Even worse when a club like Atlanta gets relegated trying to play in MB stadium. There would need to be massive subsidies to the lower league teams and golden parachutes to the ones that get relegated.
  13. That was Ronaldo’s mistake taking the Saudi money. It’s a flat check and he is fucking playing in obscurity. Messi will get all the advertising dollars, NIL money on jerseys and exposure on tv to double what Saudi would give him. Ronaldo fucked up. He should be taking passes from Driussi right now. A guy like Benzema, I get the Saudi league. But Ronaldo underestimated himself.
  14. Are you talking about US Uruguay or Austin FC v Real Salt Lake?
  15. Frogs Grand Slam. They are on a tear.

    I always wonder if Pereira would be better suited further forward. As skillful as he is he isn’t good (yet) at protecting the back line and over the last few years when the back line get caught out it’s often because Pereira missed his mark. He’s young though and definitely has promise. Not for nothing and knocking on wood but a W tonight against a team we should beat, and that’s 12 out of last 15 league points including road win over first place team. Could be starting a nice little run heading into the rivalry games at the end of the month.
  17. This is the best puzzle box show ever wrapped into a history lesson most of us had no idea about until this show came out. It was the perfect amount of weird, funny, sad and stuck every landing at the end. Prbably the most underrated single season of TV this century.
  18. I can't find it, but when Jamie played the decoy on that last goal, he was mimicking exactly what Ted was doing in practice when they were showing them how to run Nate's play in season 1. "Ohh! I want the ball, give me the ball. I want the ball please! I want you winning an ESPY at the Oscars!" There is a video somewhere showing them back to back. Was a great call back.
  19. That's great and all, but really, all I care about are the statewide polls in GA, VA, NC, WI, PA, AZ, and NV.
  20. So every time I see or read a Jeremy Strong interview he sounds like a real life actor version of Kendall Roy. I can see why no one could stand him.
  21. Mattson joked that the signing picture was like The Last Supper and even had Judas (Greg). So he didn’t leak it on purpose. Andy Greenwald likened the conference room fight to Shiv’s eulogy. Kids (not serious people) fucking around outside the office where the business was being done. Thought that was a cool observation.
  22. I thought the ending was unique and cool and also damning. This was an awesome show. Not Mt Rushmore by any means. But really thought they landed the plane well with the ending.
  23. So yeah…. The last two episodes seemed to missing big chunks that would have helped me better understand character motivation. I feel like they think they are being high brow and presuming the viewer is sophisticated enough to get things that aren’t shown on screen or are alluded to, but really it’s poor plotting.
  24. Jeez. I guess they’ve probably been practicing these all week but it’s been clinical. Maybe 2 the goalies could have gotten.
