  1. You kinda threw me off on a tangent about boxing. When I was a late teen/early twenties guy, Foreman, Norton, Frazier and Ali were all at or near their peaks, and there's never been an era where boxing was better.
  2. I dunno. Losing half the team to COVID was a winning strategy for Cleveland.
  3. Amended. IMHO, just about any undefeated P5 will get in. One loss teams, it really comes back to conference reputation, and, of course, long term team reputation.
  4. You could be right. I gave up on the Cowboys when Jerry hired Wade Phillips. I saw about ten minutes of them this year, as a game was on while I was at a party. Weirdly enough, it was the third quarter of the Giants game when Prescott broke his leg. I thought McCarthy took the job cause it was a big paycheck, and didn't have that much invested in the team. It's possible I'm wrong.
  5. College ball is different from the NFL, cause the Eagles winning the Super Bowl doesn't affect seeding the next year. Course, ESPN keeps their thumbs, both hands, their feet and their butts on the scale, so the SEC will always be over represented. For colleges, next year the PAC 12 will be in an almost impossible position, as far as getting teams in the playoffs (I mean, aside from the fact that none of the teams are good.) Their conference champion got smoked by the Big 12 runner up. Those five B12 victories will boost rankings at the start of next year. Back when I cared about the NFL (thanks Jerry, for freeing up my Sundays) I wanted the Eagles to lose every game they played, and wanted Andy Reid to get his butt stuck in the bathtub and have to call the fire department. Yesterday, if Dallas had won early, people who still give a flip about the Cowboys would have been rooting for the Eagles to win, cause it would have put Dallas in the playoffs. I don't like OU, BUT them beating Florida helped the Big 12 image, and it will help with bowl seeding next year.
  6. Doesn't matter who he hires. Switzer, Phillips, Garrett, fill in the blank. The requirement to be the Cowboys HC is to sit back while Jerry struts. Garrett hung on for so long because he was able to do that better than anyone else. The Cowboys have had two competent coaches while Jerry owned the team, Johnson and Parcells. Both left because of Jerry's interference. Expecting Jerry not to interfere is like expecting a dog to stay out of the cat food. It will be this way as long as Jerry lives. No idea what it will be like after he dies, but the Cowboys are doomed as long as he's the owner.
  7. You can say that again. The biggest tell to me that this is a good hire is that he's staying with Alabama for the title game. If he was irrelevant to Bama, Saban would tell him to head on down to Texas. In a lot of instances, guys who are moving on to other opportunities get politely told to GTFO because they're just being a distraction.
  8. Yeah, I've never negrepped anyone here, but this page has convinced me of what I've suspected forever, but tried not to see cause I stay out of the cloak room. You guys are fucked in the head. I have no business being here.
  9. OK, I'm doing the live stream thing, but what's the time left now?
  10. The mouse is getting nervous. RottenTomatoes started monkeying with results when "Want to see" dropped below 28%. When that didn't work, they changed the whole site, removing "Want to see" from all movie previews, and putting a prohibition on comments until the movie is released. They now only show the number of people who "Want to see" and don't have an option for "Not interested." http://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/making-some-changes/
  11. I watched Brian's Song cause Shelly Fabares. Heard later there were some other actors in it, guys named Williams, Caan and Warden, IIRC.
  12. End of conference play for the top four teams: KState: Baylor, @TCU, Oklahoma Texas Tech: @TCU, Texas, @ISU Kansas: @OKState, @OU, Baylor Baylor: @KState, OKState, @KU The only games remaining between the top four are Baylor-KState and Baylor-KU. KState and Tech need to win out. Baylor needs win out and hope for Tech to lose one game. Kansas needs to win out and hope for Tech and KState to each get a loss. By tonight, it will be either a lot clearer or a lot muddier. And now back to Dickin Judy in the newsroom.
  13. Years ago, Dick Ellis and Judy Maggio were cohosts on one of the local news stations. I got interviewed by one of their "in the field" reporters. It was a taped interview for later broadcast. After we were finished, I told him there had been some complaints about all the cursing during the broadcasts. He said, "What are you talking about?" "Every time you finish a remote story, you say, 'And now back to Dickin Judy in the newsroom.'" He glares at me. Watched the news that night. Guy finishes his remote broadcast and says, "And now back... and now...Judy and Dick, back to you!"
  14. Can confirm. Also: "He's the bell cow" instead of just calling him the lead running back. During interviews, the questions that bug me because they're so stupid are the ones that go, "How big was it when you scored the winning touchdown?" It won the game! It was a big fuckin play!
  15. They tried to pull that shit in Waco, but we got it straightened out.
  16. That was his brother, Geoffrey. They looked somewhat similar. Movie was Chisum.
  17. I'd just like them to do the Thing right, for once. Although, even in the comics, they wrote around themselves to make Reed Richards the lead when the Thing was a hellalot more interesting. Silver Surfer was pretty cool as the herald of Galactus. When. he got his own comic, be became kind of a wandering flower child, and IMHO, less interesting.
  18. It was "Smith," which in the show was the alias for Hannibal Hayes, played by Peter Duel, which was the screen name for Peter Deuel. Headshot with a .38. https://findadeath.com/directory/d/Pete_Duel/index.html
  19. As I hung up the phone it occurred to me My boy was just like me, my boy was just like me.
  20. I love that guy. He might have become more popular, except he didn't fit neatly into any category. BTW, don't know who the backup guitarist is in this clip, but she's kinda hot.
  21. Everybody was in love with her. The guy with her when she died was the same guy that was with Art Linkletter's daughter when she died, also under mysterious circumstances.
