  1. Danny Kanell picked us against Arizona State. The guy is a walking/talking jinx. Other humorous picks, Andy Staples picked Boise State outright against PSU. I’m here for it. The PSU president begging Paterno diehards to stop threatening James Franklin would be a great presser.
  2. Uh, people know about it. It’s not some obscure French avant-garde film. Actors I wouldn’t cast right now: - Chris Rock. Bizarre SNL hosting performance. I hope they tuck him away in the background in the 50th Special. - Eddie Murphy. See above. - Blake Lively. Didn’t like It Ends With Us so she sues her director. Also called Shawshank a comedy. Seems a little kooky. - Joaquin Phoenix. Needs to be punished after Joker 2. Also he’s attempted to quit during production on every movie for the last 10 years. - Gaga. See above Joker 2. Todd Phillips gets a pass for Old School/his scene in Old School. - De Niro and Pacino. Too old to stand during scenes and chasing checks. - Redmayne. Just a weird looking dude struggling to become more than a pod person. Every one on one dialogue scene with him is a beating.
  3. I mean sure it sounds great, but I think I’ve heard every single Sinatra story and anecdote in a series of excellent documentaries. Music biopics haven’t done well recently. I hope Scorsese has one last good project in him, but a Sinarta biopic probably isn’t it.’ Strange family. Nancy performed on The Sopranos when Phil got made boss. She’s not shying away from their mob ties.
  4. I fully expect my wife to pack 50 frozen lunches of turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, and sides.
  5. For reference: in Houston a case of Coors Original and Coors Light is $25, and a case of Ultra is $29. Based on the HEB app: in Midland a 30 pack of Coors Original and Coors Light is $26. A 30 pack of Ultras is $29.46. Beer is just way too expensive now.
  6. Ultra is not a new thing in rural Texas. I’ve helped exhibitors unload at the Houston Rodeo since 2020, and the only beer they drink is Ultra. More of the same when I visit my wife’s family in West Texas. Sheridan isn’t big on local accuracy, but he nailed the Ultra thing.
  7. So the Coen Bros would have to reunite for this to happen again. I’d love to see it, but they seem to have gone their separate ways. i think Scorsese is washed/is 82 years old. I hope he plays out the string with some good documentaries on any subject other than The Rolling Stones. Tarantino scrapped his Brad Pitt as a disc jockey in 1970’s LA treatment right? I believe he wants to make 1 more film + a Star Trek movie. QT loves to talk about what might have been with Laurence Fishburne if he had accepted the part of Jules in Pulp Fiction. I’d like to see Fishburne and QT go out with a bang together.
  8. Pittsburgh is probably the only winnable matchup in Round 1. It’ll probably be a 12-9 rock fight, so exactly what this Texans team is comfortable with.
  9. The Cover 3 guys compared Herbstreit to Jon Smoltz. Biggest voice in his sport, but he also hates his sport. I think that’s fair. Instead of celebrating more CFP games he spent the broadcasts bitching about the weather, teams that got left out of the CFP, and fringe lunatic fOSU fans. Honestly, I think he’s overworked. TNF + 4 hours of Game Day on Friday + calling the Notre Dame game + 3 hours of Game Day on Saturday + calling the Ohio State game is a really long week. He already quiet quit on the weekly CFP Rankings show, but he needs to step back more. I think he’s too proud of his craft to half ass the prep work. The cesspool comment I think came from a place of ignorance. McCombs was absolutely correct on Charlie Strong, but unfortunately it became a race thing and Herbie saw it as rich old white guys trying to derail an African American coach.
  10. I think they’re stuck with the current OL unless they’re willing to trade Tunsil which they’ve never wanted to do. Need a new offensive staff and a good early OL draft pick to start again.
  11. Who’s a blank check guy on this list? Knight and… maybe Haslam? Haslam has torched hundreds of millions of dollars on the Browns’ roster. Curious there’s not more SMU guys on the list. The Hunts are pouring money into SMU.
  12. Did you forget Quinn Ewer’s high school recruitment? fOSU has been at the forefront of NIL since the beginning. They also had a admin and state legislature that was completely on board with paying players. No single mega booster comes to mind. I believe they’re similar to us in that they’re well organized and there’s a lot of them. That said, watching fOSU sweat Ellison’s sudden interest in Michigan Football has been great to watch from afar.
  13. We watch A Very Murray Christmas every year. Great cast and Bill sings just well enough so it’s not distracting. I will say he took a swing, I don’t think he’s sung professionally before, and it wasn’t received particularly well.
  14. He hypes the Big Ten because that’s his job.
  15. Sure, but why are nicked up guys playing to begin with? They should have sat the second the division was clinched. If they can’t catch the Chiefs, what’s the point? I think the organization wanted to get CJ more reps, and to keep him alive, all the starters needed to play. I wonder if he’s having a 2023 type season if they make the same decision?
  16. They need to fix the seeding and the game locations. Georgia should be playing in Atlanta. We should playing in Arlington. Rose Bowl got it right. But yes, Georgia and Oregon admins are probably deeply pissed they didn’t get a home playoff game. That’ll probably be the first fix.
  17. I’m just here for Beyoncé.
  18. I hate this shit. Auerbach works for NBC. They carry Big Ten games. To claim you don’t have an agenda like ESPN, and then dive into a full throated defense of Indiana is quite a move. Pawl defending Tennessee is just as transparent and despicable. That said, these people get paid to talk and stir the pot. The saner talking heads are regulated to podcasts because they don’t look a certain way and don’t say wild shit for clicks. Kirk/ESPN want to produce a TV show instead of a true playoff. As long as you keep that in mind, their comments will always be grounded in their own unique logic.
  19. Has there ever been a sicker burn in the history of film?
  20. Todd and Margo are the best part of the movie.
  21. Maybe Lot B is better than ORVW? I’m enjoying the fruit notes. A bit unusual in the BT wheaters.
  22. Die Hard Power Rankings: 1) Hans, of course 2) Ellis 3) Argyle, completely missing a terrorist while listening to Stevie Wonder takes real incompetence. 4) Theo, quarterback is toast meme/gif pushes him into the top 5. 5) The FBI 6) Holly’s perm 7) Richard Thornburg 8.) Carl Winslow 9) John 10) Uili, him eating taking down a candy bar in a fire fight always makes me laugh.
  23. Adam Ray as Jeremy would already be a sitcom 10 years ago. Really funny guy.
  24. Live from Nakatomi Plaza.
