  1. He could stand behind home plate without the protective padding with that layer of goo he’s got in the front.
  2. Maybe this time they don’t stop until they plant the Union Jack in Buenos Aires and take the World Cup trophy back with them as a souvenir.
  3. Admiral King was quite the character, but he knew who to go after and who to just let do their job. King was another person born at the right time and place to do exactly what he was supposed to do. He was bombastic, but so are a lot of people in a position of responsibility like he was. He fought to get the folks in the Pacific more of what they needed instead of just letting it sit and waste away while the Allies tried to figure out their strategy to get into Fortress Europe. As far as submarine commanders go I think Mush Morton might be the most colorful in theater commander of any branch of the armed forces. It’s a shame he and his crew did not survive the war. That guy and his crew had balls of steel to pull off the raids they did.
  4. CTJ is the absolute king of negativity on the football board. Putting him on ignore a couple people of weeks or so back makes this forum easier to read. What an absolutely miserable way to go through life always looking for any reason to spew out some hate about a coach where it has clearly become personal to that poster to say the things it does.
  5. Iowa got a safety. I think they can hold this 2-0 lead until at least somewhere in the 3rd quarter against Illinois.
  6. I am picking Davenport to win 52-35 next week. Actually I am going to pick them to be playing in Arlington as well in December.
  7. @Beau Vine I don’t think it would have made a difference in Alice winning (Think it’s 49-35 final), but Lampasas got to the game late apparently and it is why it is just now ending. I did not hear exactly why they had almost no warm-up, but I am guessing bus trouble. Their first possession resulted in a blocked punt for a TD for Alice. You could tell everything was just off, but again not entirely sure why they were so late arriving.
  8. Stephenville up 17-10 now with 10 left in the 4th.
  9. Stephenville up 17-7 on Carter. Looks like we might have a rematch with Celina and Panther Creek. Stephenville, from what I have seen, is good, but not great. LaVernia up 42-31. Almost done. Davenport up 63-28 and also just about done. 125 points in two playoff games. They win next week by double digits.
  10. LaVernia on the verge of icing this game and moving on to play Davenport and that ridiculous offense they have.
  11. Davenport rolling to another easy win up 56-28 with the backups getting extensive time out there. Boerne is down 35-31 late in the 4th and LaVernia has the ball.
  12. He moonlights as a mule for MS-13.
  13. Come on. The new NBA IRON MAN is injured? Next thing you’re gonna tell me is James Harden is not an ideal teammate.
  14. I read this book over the summer. I enjoyed it.
  15. I would never use FedEx for anything. If they went out of business tomorrow, well, great.
  16. I left with around 30 minutes or so left. There was two other people in the entire thing about 8 rows below me. When I go I always turn off the phone and focus on what I am watching. If I find myself not enjoying it I leave. Not the first nor the last time it’ll happen. Not every movie connects with every audience member, but again it does not mean this is not a nice movie. I only pay 24 a month for that AMC pass so leaving for me (And I am sure others that have the pass) isn’t too big a deal. It doesn’t happen often. The last time was that Charlie Day movie where he can’t speak. There is no way anyone liked that movie.
  17. Knew it wouldn’t take long for that snark to appear. If I feel the need to look at my phone during a movie I know it is time to leave. Nothing drew me into the movie, but it does not mean others are not enjoying it.
  18. I can see how teens might enjoy this movie because of one of the main characters. I am watching it right now. I am not connecting with this movie, but for the folks that are I think that’s cool.
  19. Sounds like he may be a Puritanical Christian.
  20. So you want the basketball version of this? I’m in! They can even let Clipper Darrell play Randy Quaid’s part and rush in from the stands. Maybe have Jim Ross give the lead in to the whole thing.
  21. This is just cable TV all over again. I have Prime (Good for many other things so it’s worth it) and then Britbox, Acorn TV (More UK TV) and PBS Masterpiece (Again mostly British stuff). I will not go back down the cable route again and buy several other streaming services just to watch one show. I can get so much from those streaming services I have that I don’t care what else I do not get to see.
  22. I went to see this movie again tonight because I thoroughly enjoyed it so much the first time. I gotta say that Dominic Sessa is going to be a GREAT lead in a whole bunch of films over his career. It is so hard to believe this is his first film. So young, but so talented and he more than held his own in all of the scenes with Giamatti. I would go as far as to say he should get a nomination for best supporting actor. I also want to say what a superb job Da ‘Vine Joy Randolph did in portraying Mary. Her grief was palpable and seeing how she dealt with the trauma of losing her son was emotionally intense, but man she was good. Go and see this movie. Take the two hours and go sit in a theater for this. If Giamatti does not get a best actor for this no one should.
  23. They’d have to sit a year so no. I think he comes back for his last year. Give him a functioning offensive line and a better defensive front and Colorado can get into 7-8 win territory.
  24. Well Westbrook for sure already knows the score with him. The endless iso-ball possessions should get the rest of them understanding why no one misses him from prior teams.
  25. Denver it’d be real nice of you to beat THE SYSTEM and his new teammates which have not grown to despise him yet. Doing it without Murray would make it fairly humorous.
