  1. Yeah, unfortunately he didn’t get offered good roles or couldn’t pick a good script to save his life. Presumed Innocent let how show his Broadway acting chops.
  2. I saw this thread was bumped, and I opened it hoping the show had been canceled. Nope.
  3. I’ll try to keep this from getting mushy. My wife had a really difficult recovery from surgery earlier this year. It was dire at one point. I promised her puppies to encourage her to get better. She called in her marker in May. They’ve been a blessing. Sure they do puppy things, but they brighten every day. They’ve changed our lives. We get along better. We appreciate things more. Anybody on the fence about getting a dog, please do it. You won’t regret it.
  4. Last round of shots today. Vet says patio restaurants are OK in a week, and they’re park ready in 2 weeks.
  5. As I’ve said before, do whatever the local media asks of you, invite them to your charity socials, do dumb commercials, and it coats you in Kevlar in this soft ass sports town. If you can come up a catch phrase even better. Josh Reddick sucked for much of Astros career, but you still have dumbasses calling into Houston sports talk suggesting the Astros sign him away from the Savannah Bananas. Bregman would be getting drilled with batteries, and LMJ would be getting run off of cheesesteak stands in Philly.
  6. Is the Don Julio Silver ok? T&P for my ranch waters.
  7. Playing baseball interferes with his charity work and filming HEB commercials.
  8. You must have been flying to Baltimore or something. Sounds fancy.
  9. Fucking this. And they don’t keep anything cold. So after you run out of your tablespoon of ice, you’re on your own. I believe Miller Lite is only beer they serve now. Just pretty shitty.
  10. I think many of the preferred walk ons will be scholarship players elsewhere in the near future. Good for them. If I understand Title IV correctly, 20 additional football scholarships would create 20 additional women’s sports scholarships. Again good for them. That said only the Big Ten + SEC + SMU will be able to afford 40 additional full athletic scholarships. I think many Big 12, ACC, and P5 schools will stick at 85.
  11. I would strongly suggest the movie to everyone in the thread. It’s well worth $3.99. Strong Harrison Ford performance, and Raul Julia gives the best performance of his career. Lots of good supporting performances as well. It outclasses the show in every way imaginable.
  12. First episode of fine, but Lisa Kudrow needs to work on her delivery. I keep waiting for her to say, you should be in bed young man! It’s after 9pm.
  13. Ruth Negga is terrifying. Who rides a stationary bike in the dark, raw dog without music or TV?
  14. I gave nice clean options for both parties upthread, and they do this. Oh well, still the best way to spend that tricky 10am to 11am hour.
  15. I’d say good for college baseball. The SEC and some of the ACC are basically functioning as AAAA right now. Might as well put everybody on a full scholarship. Minor league baseball won’t go away, but it’s a serious blow to rookie ball and low A teams. It’s going to get tougher for MLB team to sign players out of high school. Why ride the bus when you can be on full scholarship + NIL for 3 years? I hope ESPN gets very serious about growing the sport of college baseball. They own the exclusive rights to the 2 premier leagues, and their MLB inventory isn’t where they’d like it be. Good for volleyball too. It’s the number 2 or 3 women’s sport. Most of the team should be full scholarship. I need to think about football. I’d speculate that nobody outside of the SEC + Big Ten + SMU will use the full 105. They probably can’t afford 20 additional football scholarships + 20 women’s scholarships. Anybody have a median figure on 40 additional scholarships?
  16. Seconded. I’ll support any winning outcome that gets everybody out of there safely. Nobody hits the exits harder than aggys trying to beat the traffic back to Houston.
  17. I wonder how the mighty, blue blood Trojans are feeling about a Friday night game against Rutgers?
  18. Ah, the Beavis and Butthead offense. We may never score again.
  19. “I want to get inside Wild Bill’s little box” is for sure the gayest thing that’s ever been said on this show.
