  1. The biggest thing I took away from watching this game was the talent gap that exists. The Horns were just so much faster on defense. OU’s offense looked like it belonged in the SunBelt. They are going to have a rough few years ahead of them trying to make up that large a talent disparity. Also I saw a graphic that said Helm is only the 9th rated TE prospect for next year’s draft. There are not 8 better players at that position. Just laughable to even think he is rated that low.
  2. It will never make sense to me that a single veteran or active member of our military will vote for this literal piece of human garbage when he has nothing but awful things to say about the military. This coward shirked duty in Vietnam by faking an injury while people who weren’t privileged had to go over there. Many of us here have dads and other relatives who went over when their number came up, but not this shrinking violet. It’s just incredible the cognitive dissonance on display.
  3. Well yeah that seems fairly reckless there to do that. I know here in NYC that if a motorist hits me they have to pay me. It doesn’t mean I am going to attempt to throw myself out into traffic though. Between the cars here and the scourge of e-bikes I have just had my fill of reckless drivers. These clowns on e-bikes will ride them on the sidewalk. It takes a lot to not just want to plow one of them over for doing that regularly.
  4. That’s steeper than the annual aggy October rollercoaster ride.
  5. Crossing the street when the light is green and having impatient cars trying to cut me off. Even the bus drivers pull this garbage on green lights for pedestrians. Today I got surly and smacked the vehicle with my hand. It was pretty loud. Guy got pissed, but I didn’t stop to look. Felt good to make one of these horrifically bad NYC drivers have to stop. I will not miss this about living here when I leave in January.
  6. The no Caitlin Clark in the WNBA Finals effect can be seen by the ticket prices. You can sit a few rows from the floor tonight for what many of us make in a few hours or you can sit in the mezzanine for between 30-40 a ticket.
  7. Someone I work with went to watch it and enjoyed it. He went to a restaurant to eat afterwards with a friend and neither of them had any appetite after seeing it. The Dennis Quaid restaurant scene really sticks with you.
  8. I do not trust the bullpen for the Yanks as a whole, but they held on in this one. Still gotta get another one. It’d be nice if Judge would decide to show up. Soto has done his part thus far getting on base to give Judge plenty of chances.
  9. I never had a Twitter account. I do support anyone leaving the platform, especially in light of the owner being a world class piece of trash.
  10. If you are a Republican you will not get my vote EVER again. The damage these clowns have done to our country and world as a whole is something I will never forget. I’d cast a vote for CHAIRMAN MAO or Prime Minister Tojo before I would ever vote for a Republican again.
  11. This is my school now so I’m going to have to say I saw none of the game because I was working. The ASU fans who did I see it got on social media and overwhelmingly said that they couldn’t believe there was a conference that had worse officiating than the PAC-12. Even the new guys know this conference has horrific game officials. That said, Fork ‘Em Devils! 4-1!
  12. I was looking at the score for UND-NDSU and wanted to see the top 25 for FCS. I looked it up and saw that 6 of the top 8 are the schools from North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. Honestly that’s pretty impressive. UND will drop after their loss, but that’s still pretty cool.
  13. I saw it this week. This was a beautiful film! I hope they have at least one more Wild Robot movie. The story was cool and it really drove home some positive things for both kids and adults to take from it. The animation was just ridiculously good as well. If you have kids definitely take them to watch this.
  14. Now make yourself expire congressman. These people are complete morons. Couldn’t run a night shift at McDonald’s, but gets a little under 200k and lifetime health plan benefits to do absolutely nothing except be a person with an IQ south of 30 asking insanely stupid questions.
  15. Gritty showed up and showed out in that sentencing. That’s some amazing F around and find out justice.
  16. I told this to a guy I work with today. We sell Coppola’s wine where I work and I just kinda shrugged and said much of what you said. This movie connected better with him though. He thought it was all over the map, but that seems to be the point. The best way I described what I saw was what if you made a movie from the perspective of Grandpa Simpson. This is what would be the end result. That’s more/less how it felt to me, which made it hard to follow.
  17. Cage in Driver’s role would have been the cherry on top for this one. I probably would’ve stayed for the entire movie just to see what he would have done.
  18. These people…Just the dumbest and most crooked idiots in our society. Walters is a guy that needs to be smacked in the face with a shovel.
  19. Left after an hour because the movie was really hard for me personally to comprehend. Perhaps that was the point of it. I am not entirely sure. There are probably folks who can follow the plot better than I could. I really don’t have much bad to say. I just failed to connect with this one. From what I gather I am not alone on that.
  20. The Lakers will go as far as Bronny will take them. The franchise is now on his shoulders since we’re paying him to be part of this. I can probably throw a rock further than the distance they go with him, but man it will be a fun train wreck to watch. Father and son taking an iconic franchise over a cliff will be scintillating to witness.
  21. I’m giving it a go tonight in IMAX. We’ll see how this goes. In general I enjoy Adam Driver so we’ll see.
  22. That Quaid scene was so hard to watch. The sound alone. Just completely disgusting.
  23. Yankees-Royals will be a fun series. I’m interested to see how Soto does in his first playoff series in The Bronx. I think he’s the key offensively. If he’s getting on-base and giving Judge and Stanton chances to drive him in I feel good about the Yanks. You can’t let KC hang around by leaving guys on base. The pitching gives me pause though with them. That is my main issue that I see. I especially want to see how the pen performs in high leverage situations that will be coming up soon.
  24. I personally prefer how Dominicans pronounce Yankees. Sounds cooler honestly.
  25. What an amazing human being he was. 58 years seems so very short for a man who did so much to better the lives of the people back home in The Congo as well as Africa as a whole. His love of people was his greatest quality. We could use more folks like him. My absolute favorite basketball memory of him will always be seeing him lying on the floor after game 5 in Seattle in 1994 holding the ball. The sheer joy in his face was one of the most iconic moments in NBA history. That was the perfect encapsulation of who Dikembe was as a human being. The world was better for him being born and he left things far better than he found them. Rest in peace big man.
