  1. Shedrick doesn’t have good lower body strength and is easily pushed to be out of position. He’s going to be an issue all season long.
  2. After watching the KU-Michigan EE game at Jerryworld several years ago, it was the KU adults who did the above while their kids skipped around.
  3. I’m 63 and started wearing a robe to the river for my morning swim. I’ve been called Lebowski and Hugh Hefner by separate walkers/runners. Went into the local coffee shop this morning wearing my robe and it had no effect on the women at the coffee shop. So just like any morning pre robe.
  4. US u20s beat France 2-1 yesterday. Cole Campbell (Dortmund) and Tasha Habroune scored.
  5. Le deuxième souffle (Second Wind). Dense movie directed by Melville of a betrayal in a criminal heist. No happy endings for these guys, but the small details make it interesting. The acting was good especially the main character as the mouse and the police inspector as the cat. Never thought I’d see a movie where pétanque was a key to the story.
  6. The Japanese movie Audition. I was a freshly divorced 45 year old.
  7. After deleting and reporting as junk so many trump texts, I finally responded “I’ll give you a hundred bucks if you drop out.”
  8. Mckennie with two assists and Weah with a goal against Inter.
  9. Quoted from bulwark article, Bezos, Trump, and the Failure of Democracy. thebulwark.com “Bezos understood that if he antagonized Kamala Harris and Harris became president, he would face no consequences. A Harris administration would not target his businesses because the Harris administration would—like all presidential administrations not headed by Trump—adhere to the rule of law. Bezos likewise understood that the inverse was not true. If he continued to antagonize Trump and Trump became president, his businesses very much would be targeted.” “Russian democracy died because their institutions and politicians were not strong enough to enforce the law. Sound familiar? I could identify half a dozen laws that Elon Musk has already broken without enforcement. Bezos censored the Post because he knows that nobody will enforce the law and keep Trump from seeking political retribution. And on and on. The corrosive effect on the rule of law is cumulative. The Bezos surrender is our warning bell about entering early-stage 1990s Russia. No legal system is able to survive when it there’s a class not subject to it because politicians are too cowardly to enforce the law.” “And that’s the foundational point. The Bezos surrender isn’t just a demonstration. It’s a consequence. It’s a signal that the rule of law has already eroded to such a point that even a person as powerful as Jeff Bezos no longer believes it can protect him.” Fuck.
  10. HBO in the mid 70s as a ninth grader. Besides Clockwork Orange, watched this French movie. Going Places: After a consensual threesome with a female ex-convict, they are surprised when she commits suicide by shooting herself in the Took French sophomore year and that worked out well.
  11. And CCV. Trusty as a CCV replacement was underwhelming in a 7-1 loss.
  12. Considering that Poch and his staff did a 4 hour presentation on the American players when negotiating, I doubt we will see too many surprises, but hopefully someone like Koleosho accepts an invite. I’d sure like to see the crib notes on that presentation.
  13. And Andy Krawcyk is a defense attorney. I’m in middle of season 3. It’s a great complement to The Wire. So many standout characters, acting and writing.
  14. Sept roster dropped. No Jedi and no Weston. Makes sense to give Jedi a break. Trusty and Fossey are new additions As is Kochen. Young gk from Barca who has other choices. Good to get him in and maybe poch can informally talk to these guys. not sure why De La Torre is in when he’s been injured and doesn’t figure to be part of the team on celta de vigo. I like the McKennie did not get called in. He plays harder with something to prove.
  15. Adrienne Shelley was outstanding as a guest star in a season 2 episode. Unsettling and sad how she later died. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/dec/01/adrienne-shelly-waitress-hbo-documentary
  16. Chelsea doesn’t want to pay him and his staff the terms from the terminated contract. And if he signs new contract with US or another job they will use that salary as reason to not pay or minimize pay to him/staff. The American owner of Chelsea needs to pay him for the good of his nation’s team. But Boehly is an internationalist and doesn’t give a fuck.
  17. Looks like Tessman fucked up and is not currently playing. Did his agents demand too much for the transfer to fiortina? https://prosoccerwire.usatoday.com/2024/08/15/tessmann-out-of-project-venezia-usmnt/
  18. She was amazing in her husbands films. [on her role in A Woman Under the Influence (1974)] I knew many girls who had had breakdowns. I drew little touches from each of them and a lot from myself. I don't mean I'm really going mad, but I'm a little crazy - we all are - and sometimes I let things go. A good insight of her work is in this article. https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/features/gena-rowlands-performance-from-inside-out
  19. Just watched that episode. The rooftop scene where Stringer and Avon had fucked each over was sublime. A little bit of reminiscing and guilt, but neither knowing what the other had done.
  20. Chelsea has been a shitstorm since the oligarch was told to take a hike. He doesn’t need to defend that. PSG money hires coaches to win it all as ligue un is a formality. He didn’t do that lime all the other psg coaches Being a development coach doesn’t hurt him as a national team coach. He’s not going to complicate the system because he thinks it’s all about him.
  21. Shit, I’d take a men’s coach who has the quality of Emma Hayes. Can we land Pochetino or Tuchel? We ain’t got either but wouldn’t you rather have a quality gk or cb?
  22. Silver linings: u20 made the World Cup with a b team. u23 made it to the knockouts with a c team. We no longer have Greg at the helm for USMNT.
  23. US beat Costa Rica 2-1 after moving cities due to
