  1. That was the right call. Guy shoved him in the back when he went up to dunk.
  2. ESPN has a cool perfect bracket tracker page. Always fun to see how soon they all get knocked out https://www.espn.com/perfect-bracket/2024/mens/1
  3. Izzo's son deserves to catch a break for having that hairline while still in college.
  4. Ok first game of the tourney and I have an elite 8 team down 12 points. Lolz I’m an idiot
  5. Yeah it’s been a weak start to the season, and the last two eps being all Bhanu grew quite tiresome. Seems like more often than not in recent seasons with the current format, one tribe loses the majority of the first challenges and kind of death spirals which makes the show less interesting without new blood at tribal council.
  6. Well that does make a bit more sense for keeping the eight-game in 2025. But they better go to nine in 2026.
  7. Haven’t looked it up, but I feel like at least one First Four winner has also won in the round of 64 most if not all years of the current 68 team format, including several that have made it to the sweet 16 or beyond. Not all that surprising I guess considering all but a handful of tourney games are basically toss ups.
  8. Finally watched the season. Enjoyable show and very pretty to watch. By which I mean the 4K golf footage, but especially the WAGs. Also I generally like Amanda Balionis on broadcasts, but her use in this show is just to plainly state the obvious of each episode’s story in a concise and high energy fashion. I get it from a storytelling perspective of creating the show to appeal and make sense to a wider audience, but it’s annoying to me. And Zach Johnson is a loser.
  9. First two eps available now, new ones every Friday I believe. Liking it so far. A few bits of dialogue that felt slightly too modern but the production quality is good. Tobias Menzes is a great actor. I’m definitely a sucker for period pieces as well as assassination history.
  10. Hunter’s two open 3pt attempts this half have barely drawn rim
  11. That was damn good TV. Clearly a fair amount of time passed (somewhere up to six months). Wondering what Toranaga was up to all that time.
  12. This thread has been a bit of a roller coaster with reviews from ep to ep of “classic curb” to “jumped the shark”. I’ve enjoyed them all but the latest one was easily the weakest. I still laughed. It’s a silly show, so everyone’s mileage will vary and some bits are gonna hit more than others and some are gonna fall flat. Haven’t looked to see how many eps are left this season but glad to have it going as long as we do. Though they’ve said it’s the last season, I’m not convinced they won’t run it back at some point.
  13. Slight surprise but quite deserved for Emma Stone. She bought a house in tarrytown a few years ago. No idea if she ever spent any time there. But we used to party in its pool house in high school #csb
  14. I remember them doing it once or twice before. 2009 or so with Hugh Jackman hosting comes to mind for some reason.
  15. Nice speech from Nolan. Can’t wait to see his next film, whatever it may be.
