  1. Yeah.... something happened in the final episode that I was very confused by until I went back and read up on it, and was like "oh yeah." But I had totally forgotten. I presume they are going to do a movie. I feel like there is an entire major plotline here that was just dropped the last episode and a half, which otherwise makes some of Tommy's early season actions seem dumb/unnecessary. If they never address it, then the final season gets a C and likely the weakest season. If they do address it, I'll change my tune. If they do make a movie, do they set it to run through 1940 somehow? Are we allowed to spoil history here?

    This is where I am although I’ve not seen Wright. I think Pefok is a specific tool that you want on your bench so if he is doing well for club in the fall, you add him. Bringing Pefok and Aaronson in minute 60 of a tied group game in Qatar is enticing.

    Tillman has been with the team for like 3 weeks. Tops. Bayern isn’t dumb.
  4. While I am hopeful something substantive comes out of this to take action against Trump, it seems to me that the main goal is to make Trump so toxic even to the latent/passive part of the GOP base that would lazily pull the lever for him, that he won’t even run in 2024 or is otherwise unelectable. I just can imagine most of the Senate Pubs and even guys like McCarthy to an extent are secretly supportive of these hearings as a chickenshit, and probably futile, effort to take back their party, so they don’t have to publicly castigate Trump until it’s cool to do so again.
  5. So John Oliver and others often buy regional ad space via cable companies on Fox News. The Catheter Cowboy for example. Why not just collect the best sound bites and pay to place ads during Fox & Friends, etc. breaks over the course of the following days? The logistics can't be that hard. Seems like a job for The Lincoln Project.

    Ignore me, I’m an idiot. I guess you take Aaronson off of those 7. But man I love him on the field. Maybe he is the super sub that sees time in every game. I presume one of those 7 are hurt or not in form in November anyway.

    Some soccer nerd will say it’s impossible, but honestly, if Gio is healthy, I want CP, Gio, Weah, Aaronson, Weston, Adams and Musah all in together. One time. And Weah makes as much sense as a quasi-9 than anyone else in that group I guess.

    Yeah, he can score in the next 10 FCD games but he’s out of his league here.
  9. Those first 10 minutes…..
  10. Honestly, I think Beto should go reverse Bulworth. No fucks given but 100% engaged. He is probably not going to win. But a mild mannered “when they go low…” campaign is DEFINITELY a loser. Go scorched earth and don’t limit attacks to Abbott, but hit out at Paxton, Patrick, the Mayor of Uvalde, Trump, Gaetz, DeSantis, etc etc. Call them criminals, question their manhood, hold more pop up press conferences outside of their fundraisers. But speak the truth. He’s angry right now but I am not sure he has the fortitude to stick something like that out for very long. But if not him, who?
  11. Maverick is very clearly supposed to be modern day Yeager. It helps, kind of, explain his status in the Navy at his age. Better explanation than anything else, I guess.
  12. Yeah, Greg, you’ve explained each tree. But the fucking forest is burning.
  13. Defending in this game is sick. Precise stuff without fear that US/MLS defenders would either not attempt or clumsily foul.
  14. Hmmmm….. I want to like it and the story is solid. I thought the acting other than Kenobi and Owen was really bad. Thought the production value up to the action scene at end of second episode was pretty bad too. The story and where they are going with it is great. Liked that Obi Wan finds out now that Vader is Anakon. …and was that first Jedi a Saatchi brother?
  15. My wife (nope) hung out with the band in the late nineties on their US tours with another friend. Groupie adjacent, I've come to accept. She has some great pics and memorabilia from those days and said this dude and Martin Gore were legit great guys (Gahan, not so much, but dude had a stage presence). Tough week.
  16. See..... that experience simply shouldn't exist. Anyone buying a gun who isn't sure whether it was stolen or missing is part of the problem.
  17. My other recollection, and this is more from the book, was how it was a near miracle that the unit the reporter was following had no one killed even though they were being thrown into harms way over and over for reasons that weren't entirely rational. Really highlighted that not only were these guys badasses, but they were brilliant tactically (as well as a little lucky).
  18. Forest, trees, whatnot. Oh yeah, and campaign contributions.
  19. The GOP Both parties in this state can't get enough of the incumbents. That a pedigreed, diverse, Trump supported candidate can't beat a criminal, and criminally stupid, man is pretty damn funny to me. Although, they both can get bent. It occurred to me today that lawyers that hold office in this state are all the worst people from law school. If you are in law school now, children, that dude that is a Federalist society gunner is likely going to hold statewide office in Texas one day. Either him, or that racist drunk dude that comes to class in hunting gear and rocks a 1.8 GPA.
  20. This is the culmination and continuance of 40 years of government propping up and liberalizing laws around guns and avoiding spending money on mental health that starts with Reagan (notwithstanding Brady Bill) and flows through current MAGA bullshit. Selling guns = capitalism and helping the mentally ill = social safety net so this isn’t changing - it’s just not We are fucked And it’s not “both sides”. Fuck the enablers from redneck YouTuber in truck to Ted Cruz to “fiscally conservative republicans” that continue to vote for their wallet instead of the greater good
  21. The Ringer podcast said it best. This is what happens when Prez (as a cop), Herc and early Carver get promoted. Who knew The Wire was painting a positive picture of BPD?
  22. … and I love this miniseries. And the book. Amazing stuff. Modern day Band of Brothers and not appreciated.
  23. It's the dude in the boat in first episode and the guy that shot himself in ep 4. His name is also Earn/E.

    As crappy as last night was, you love to see where we sit in the table. If we can pull 4 points out of next two games we should be right there in two weeks as well. Getting through that stretch through Dallas and still being in second place is the real deal. Still not sure why Lima plays. I haven't seen a single person defend it. And it's doubly worse with him and Jimenez in at same time. Also feel like Kolmanic needs to be a 90 minute player. I've seen him make one mistake all year, and he recovered nicely when it happened. We are super thin at defender, particularly on the outside, and need to pick a couple of people up this window and/or figure out if Kolmanic or Gallagher can play the other side so they can both be on the field. I read somewhere that Orlando have gone down to 9 men 7 times since their inaugural season. No other team has had that happen more than 4 times. Fuck those guys.
