    Seems pretty clear which way the wind is blowing on the Hill:

    It’s like the end of Last Crusade, when Indy is reaching for the Holy Grail. But instead of Sean Connery telling him to let it go, Biden has Hunter whispering in his ear to keep reaching for it.

    I’m only half kidding when I say that the Republicans are probably looking for a way to push back their convention a few weeks to avoid shifting the focus to them.

    Short of exercising the 25th Amendment, there is no leverage to force out a President who is simply convinced that everything is fine and he is the best person to beat Trump in November. He’ll play chicken with donors who threaten to withhold donations, knowing that if he stays in long enough, they’ll donate again because they don’t want Trump. His polling has dipped, but isn’t cratering and he thinks the race is a toss up. The people he trusts most are family and they are telling him to stay the course. He apparently carries a chip on his shoulder with the Obama and Clinton crowd, and any pressure they try to exert is likely to be counterproductive. For anyone interested in a good discussion of the above, watch Mark Halperin’s latest Zoom call from yesterday.

    Is there any real basis for this beyond random accounts on TexAgs or SEC Rant saying “we should move to the Big 10”?

    This is so much fun

    FWIW, from the little bit of OTF I watched this morning, Bobby said he’s hearing ten years and Gerry said that “it’s essentially a lifetime deal.”

    OK, then.

    Richard G. West is a Tennessee troll that is always spreading false rumors during coaching searches. It could end up being Schloss, but this guy has no inside info on it.

    Damn shame what they did to that dog

    1990’s me feels seen.

    I have a special place in my heart for Slacker because it’s a perfect time capsule of Austin when I was at UT. For those with no affinity for the time or the place, I can see why it wouldn’t be as entertaining.

    Getting involved with a femme fatale who wants her husband dead does not typically work out well for the male protagonist in these kinds of movies.

    Plus one on the good reviews from me as well. I really did not expect that ending because it diverges so much from the tropes of the genre, but I liked it.

    Haven’t watched it yet, but heard good things about “Hit Man,” the new Linklater/Glen Powell movie that drops today. Will try to catch it this weekend.

    Another good take on that video posted above:

    5 episodes into Bodkin. What’s with all the country music in this small Irish town? They were playing George Strait and Waylon at the wake and then Dov does karaoke of a Willie Nelson song at the pub. Odd show. It’s tonally all over the place, but I’m mostly enjoying it.

    I haven’t watched the finale yet but after learning the twist and then going to read some online show reviews, I found it interesting that they gave the whole show to critics, not just the first 2-3 episodes like they do for a lot of shows. Especially when you have a fundamental genre shift like this one.

    I heard a review that made a great point about the Ric Flair part. Movies about real life subjects tend to make the movie version so much more glamorous and exciting than the real thing. Think Kevin Costner as Jim Garrison in JFK, Burt and Dolly as the leads of Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Liam Neeson as Oscar Schindler, Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer, etc. But even Hollywood just can’t improve upon the real Nature Boy. Flair is such a larger than life figure (especially in his heyday of the mid-late-80’s) that anyone they got to play him would be a pale imitation who looks small by comparison.

    I’m intrigued by the first episode of Bodkin. It’s got all the right set up for a classic folk horror story, but they have it listed as a comedy. Here’s hoping they can pull off the rare comedy/horror hybrid of something like An American Werewolf in London.
