There's a lot the PLL has got right over the past couple of years trying to get this league going, and the Sixes Tournament is one of them. Scheduling the Sixes Tournament the same time as the 4 Nations Face Off and NBA All Star Weekend is definitely not. Push it back 1 week and you're golden!
Caught the Atlas vs Cannons semifinal yesterday and it was one of the best games I've ever seen. Here's the final minute of regulation and OT:
btw - if you've been following the PLL and/or college lacrosse for a minute, you know Miles Jones has really fallen off over the past couple of years. Dude is BACK. He's moving well and playing smart ball - did have a couple of bonehead turnovers, but also knocked down 3G, 1A. Coach is trusting him as well - ball started w/ him on offense a lot.
Championship Game today:

so what’s wrong with these other than single non changeable lens ?
The point was the overall shift to a much more expensive lineup overall. 10 years ago they didn't have half as many models as they do today, and the vast majority of what they're selling today is more expensive than their most expensive* 10 years ago.
*probably not completely accurate, but not far off. -

The likeability is in inverse proportion to their dominance. Couldn't stand Seb winning all the time, but he was easy to pull for at Ferrari because his success would go against Hamilton's dominance at Mercedes. Hamilton was so much easier to pull for the last couple of years as he went against the dominance of Max.

Nah, I'm pulling for HAM/FER to help bring down RBR, but they don't have my heart. McLaren and Williams are the teams I really want to see have success, but there's not currently a driver in the field I have a mancrush on and really want to see succeed. I'll be happy to see HAM/FER win when it happens, but if they manage to Ferrari the fuck out of it, I'll still be amused in a how-the-hell? way.

When I bought my last pair of goggles 10 years ago, they were fairly expensive at ~$125. Obviously some more expensive, but feel like there were a ton of quality goggles in that $90-$100 range. Just looked on the Smith site and pretty much their whole offering is $200+ and a shitload at $300+.

Sad what those soldiers went through in a place yhey didn’t have to be in. What a clusterfuck of an operation.
Good buddy of mine from HS was in the 10th Mountain Division over there. Dude was fucked up for a good long time after coming back. Very Vietnam-ish, in that he may have been 21? 22 at best? w/ severe PTSD after a single tour. I thought about him when Brad Thomas (guy w/ the Elvis Costello glasses) talks about the moment he switched from trying to identify combatants to "everyone I see dies."

Pretty proud of the students at my old school: https://www.stripes.com/theaters/europe/2025-02-12/patch-school-protest-hegseth-dei-16804589.html
STUTTGART, Germany — More than 50 Patch Middle School students staged a walkout Tuesday to protest recent Pentagon moves that have targeted diversity initiatives at military schools.
In a memo to parents, the school said the protest was related to “recent events,” while stopping short of directly naming the Pentagon’s push to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs and educational material.
The protest coincided with a visit by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to Patch Barracks, who was in Stuttgart for meetings at U.S. Africa Command and U.S. European Command headquarters.
During his stop at EUCOM, a small gathering of people dressed in civilian clothes also appeared to protest recent Pentagon decisions, with the group shouting out “DEI” for diversity, equity and inclusion.
