  1. Its not a coincidence that this comes up just a couple weeks after UT and OU go to the SEC. The NFL commissioner saw that the SEC commissioner had pulled one over on the B12 Commissioner, and was about to pull off the ultimate power move. He could move another NFL team to Birmingham AL, Memphis TN, and some other SEC conference footprint cities to totally stomp on the conference to remind them who is boss.
  2. I am thinking that this could happen it is definitely a possibility.
  3. The production group that created DDD, Page Productions, had come up the show and needed a host and Guy Fieri was the perfect fit for the show. But the producers and Fieri eventually had a falling out and Fieri was able to use his position as the star of the show to get a whole different production company in charge. I don't care to look up what they disagreed over. The one guy that heads the company is more of a writer, he wrote a book about regional American food during the pandemic. Meaning he wrote the book during the pandemic, not that the subject matter was the pandemic. Food Americana by David Page. Anyway, if you have a successful tv show, the number one rule as a producer should be to keep the star happy and do anything to keep him happy if you want to keep those residual checks flowing in.
  4. When the DDD show originally started, it was heavily derivative of the Roadfood book by Jane and Michael Stern. Like the show producers just opened the book and said lets make a tv show out of this. When Guy Fieri was on the Food Network Star tv show they had literally found the perfect host for the program. A decade later and something like 200 episodes later and the Food Network can just fill up an entire day with DDD reruns and get decent audiences and commercial revenue. Its what show creators dream about when they are trying to put together new programs.
  5. I thought the press conference was just a long airing of personal grievances. Lots of people have issues with their management or employers but don't just go to the media to complain. Even in the NFL, tons of guys have axes to grind. Rodgers isn't an owner or a GM and shouldn't be telling them how to do their jobs. Compare it with Andy Dalton's press conference where he talks about being the starter but helping the younger new guy get acclimated to the league. Dalton at least knows his role on the team and is content with it.
  6. Just a few weeks until the anticipated coaching showdown with Biels:
  7. Just about every crowd shot at the game had folks in El Tri colors but holding Qatar flags. I would guess the El Tri fans had bought tickets figuring Mexico might make it into that game, and maybe the Qatar FA was handing out flags to anyone at the stadium. Almost none of them had the Middle Eastern eyes that the people from that part of the world have. But then a couple of the Qatar players weren't really from Qatar either. Then there was the awful Qatar 2022 promo video, endless Qatar Airlines commercials in the pregame, and the video ribbon ads for Qatar Airlines. I don't know where I got the idea but maybe the potential sponsorship revenue played a role in them being invited to the Gold Cup.
  8. Qatar looked like a decently talented and well coached team with a whole lot of chemistry and experience between the players in the first part of the game. The second part of the game was complete disorganized bedlam. The Qatari keeper seemed shook up at the end, in the wrong place too often.
  9. The Qatari's have got skillz.
  10. Soccer has countless tournaments year round, they are all expanding and more are added every year, and of all the competitions and games that could be broadcast on FOX, they chose Qatar vs. El Salvador.
  11. A couple tracks from the score were dripped out this week
  12. My local tv listings are showing the Qatar v. El Salvador being broadcast tonight. I guess I have something to watch now.
  13. Before he wrote the book he took a trip to look at sand dunes in Oregon and wrote a non-fiction story about their ecology but no magazine would even print it.
  14. In honor of the upcoming match against the Jamaican national soccer team, known as the Reggae Boys. I am going to share some of my favorite reggae anthems. Just a little taste of the island to go with the dark meat jerk chicken and rum to enjoy the game with.
  15. I always saw Nebraska more like the Shakespearean depiction of Richard III.
  16. There are branded tie in games like a table top card game already out that have art supposedly based on what the stuff in the movie will look like.
  17. The subsequent books in the series are less about military sci fi and more about weird ideas and the future of humanity. They aren't exactly movie adaptation material. Its not the only sci-fi series where a subsequent book is mostly conversations about ideas.
  18. Qatar are my new second favorite team now.
  19. I am keeping the game on while I do stuff around the house.
  20. This kind of performance against a team like Canada is just awful.
  21. I am going to do the rounds at the Husker boards, to see if any of them want to see whatever team Pellini's little brother is coaching at now. Then I looked it up and he is at that one big high school where so many other coaches spent some time. Anyway, we all miss the Pellini brothers and their antics in the Power 5 or at Youngstown State or whatever place is next for the guys.
  22. Part of Solich's accomplishment at Ohio is from longevity and compiling wins. The best MAC coaches are out the door so fast its like "here today, gone today", the fans just expect every guy to leave as soon as possible. But in an industry where every guy leaves the moment the money is good it is highly unusual for a guy to stay on that long anywhere.
  23. trza-hawk replied to shnsajax's topic in Futbol
    How do i watch without cable or espn+ ?
  24. The potential collaboration between the CFL and the XFL has been taken off the table. God knows what they could have done with conflicting schedules, different numbers of players on the field, the rouge, and those dinky stadiums in Canada. How could they have merged or had something like those Conference Challenges in College Basketball?
