    ah, you never saw miracle. that’s ok. you should watch it though.Β 

    It was good, it was just Disney. I remember watching the real thing, and the movie was good, but not great.
    Same thing with Seabiscuit. Disney movies are fun feel-good movies, but too saccharine to be all-time greats.

    And yes, I realize I put Brian’s Song on my list, one of the all-time saccharine stories. But it gets me every time.Β

    Johnny 'Football Coach?' - Manziel Teases a Return to Aggieland

    Johnny 'Football' Manziel said that although he's done with pro football, he'd love to return to help the Aggies win a national title.

    So in other words he's wanting to go back to the only place that ever liked him.Β  Seems reasonable.Β  Β  Will be interesting to see how this plays out with Jimbo.Β Β 

    He hated it while he was there. But he needs a paycheck so …

    And I agree with @General SpecificΒ  I’m disappointed every time the thread is bumped and JFF hasn’t won the Deadpool.Β

    The coordinated effort by the NCAA and media partners to try to trick you into accidentally tuning into a woman’s game or Opening an article to read.Β 
    Β 

    The TV guide was changed to remove men/women from the description. Both listed simultaneously as β€œ1st 4” ESPN has done the same on their print articles. You may get a few extra clicks and false DVR recordings to brag about, but this isn’t β€œgrowing” the sport/audience.Β 
    Β 

    The most obvious path for success for woman’s sports to to get women to actually care about it and actually consume/watch it.Β 

    This happened to me on YouTube tv last week. And the stupid Allstate commercialβ€”40% of NCAA athletes are women and they receive 10% of the coverage. Yes, because no one wants to watch inferior athletes play the same game. They’ve been shoving this stuff down our throats for decades and we still don’t care. And we never will.Β

    So at what age do we get to start saying "im getting old"

    I'm 33 and I went to a rave on Wednesday and I havent been able to stand straight for two days from my lower back aching from the dance. I also have grey in my beard.

    You’re getting old. Way, way, way too old for a rave.Β

    1. Anyone that orders from DoorDash, UberEats, etc. should never be allowed to say a word about inflation.

    2. Who is ordering from these things? The prices seem outrageous and most food has a very limited shelf life. Someone ordering fast food? What? Who wants room temperature soggy fries?

    I’m really, really glad that Uber Eats is available.Β 
    I just returned from a work trip to Europe. A two week tripΒ turned into 3 when I tested positive for COVID the day before my return flight. Netherlands rules then required that I isolate in my hotel room for 5 days (turned into 6 because I actually got kinda sick).Β 
    Without Uber Eats I would have been limited to hotel room service. With Uber Eats I had the pick of anything in the city. Thank God for Uber Eats.Β

  10. This thread seems like as good a place as any to drop this little idiocy on my part today. Not being able to read anything without +2.50 readers stinks.Β 

    Today I went home for lunch before interviewing a candidate for our new VP of HR. Β I grabbed a green can from the shelf in the beverage fridge where I thought we only had β€œPolar” brand seltzer, which looks like this.Β

    My taste is a little messed up from COVID, but even so I thought it tasted funny as I washed down my lunch. I finally looked at the can after finishing half of it.Β

    The result is that a candidate for our head of HR was interviewed by another leader who had beer breath at noon.Β

    The ags will claim they already participate in the SASP competitions and that this competition is (by some imaginary redneck metric) "better" than NCAA competition. SASP includes grade school divisions as well as collegiate divisions. From looking at the results of this year's competition, the aggys may need to step down to the grade school level to be competitive.

    Of course, there still has never been an honest answer from the aggys (quelle surprise) as to why they don't compete in NCAA competition also. If one of them would ever take me up on my $1million aggy yell leader tradition challenge, that money would go a long way to establishing and funding such a program. lol

    You’re missing the point of that list. Look how many people from that second rate military academy in NY it takes to balance out one aggy. With a squad of aggy, Zelensky could conquer the Ruskies.Β
