Well she reconnected with her killer first chance she got, so I doubt she'd have been receptive of mom dropping in. Also the Moab cops, like many cops, see things as the abuser sees them so they can't process that maybe the woman is actually in trouble. Not sure you can train them to realize men lie to keep control, and women lie our of fear.

Vedder was in the Saturday night concert, along with many others. Whole thing is on Peacock but a lot of individual stuff is on YouTube. I think I saw Hammond in the audience, maybe with an eye patch? Audience was fascinating. I couldn't tell if Kevin Costner was annoyed by being in so many shots, or if he was pretending to be annoyed.

I've been four times, all different properties, over the last year. While I never wanted to be one of those "it ain't like it used to be" guys, I don't know what else to say. It used to be so fun to be at a craps table with a small bachelorette party or group of young soccer fans. Now it's bitter middle agers (myself included) without a woman under 40 in sight, even at the other table games. The bubble games are cheaper but not social. The sports books can still be fun given you don't have to wait in line thanks to the betting kiosks. And the asshole horse players can stay in their corner, not pushing through to make last-second bets. Flat screens are everywhere to buy a drink and watch games. To me, it seems like the conventions and major events are going to have to keep the fire burning out there. I'm lucky to get some work trips, otherwise it's a waste of my budget.

Hell, the game ended on page 32, that's like the 5th post to make reference to Eagles football since

Lilelong Eagles fan, and I'm thrilled! I felt good about winning but no way expected a blowout. Had a watch party on Broad Street and walked out into the madness, there is no better feeling as a sports fan. We are a perfectly sized city for hundreds of thousands of fans to get together and party within minutes of the end of the game. For once, there were no tragic or embarrassing incidents that I know of. Maybe we can check that box for y'all at the parade on Friday. The Eagles should be right at the top again next year and maybe beyond. Defensive coordinator and OL coach, two extremely important positions, are in their 60s and don't sound like they care about being promoted or leaving town. Sirianni is a dork but give him credit for staying centered among his bosses, his staff and most importantly the players. I hope he doesn't start doing commercials or anything that makes him seem bigger.

I think they have really good FB/MBK coaches in place, but the chances of them sneaking into the CCG much less the playoff again are really low. You have Clemson and Miami plus various annual upstarts like Louisville or one of the NC schools. So football probably peaked with a CCG loss followed by a CFP blowout loss. They're looking at Pop Tarts type upside for a while. In basketball, there might be better hope to make an occasional at-large NCAA appearance now that they're in the ACC. Still, it's hard to see them do much more than a first weekend exit. Not a bleak situation at all, but also a tough one for a new AD to manage given fundraising and attendance pressures.

Ron Torbert is the head referee. That's this guy: https://x.com/49ersSportsTalk/status/1886630618043134365 Also this: https://x.com/_MLFootball/status/1881773247894860006 Edit: Top link is the ref doing a postgame jersey swap with Pat Mahomes. Bottom link is when KC failed on a 3rd and 9 in the AFCCG vs Bengals, but Torbert stepped in to allow a re-do because the clock supposedly shouldn't have been running (there were 10 minutes left in the game). Next play was defensive holding.

Watching every Eagles game, I can tell you the NFL and refs hate the tush push, one way they try to discourage it is by never giving a favorable spot if they can help it. Also not calling offsides unless it's obvious. But the Bills didn't run the play well at all, Allen took too long to move forward and went too vertical

Allar is the opposite of "got that dawg in'm". Like he met the dawg and it bit his dick off

Game Week Thread 2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Bartles replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Absolutely correct. You can't really even see the benches because of all the field level personnel standing and walking around. But a huge percentage of the stadium just watches the video board anyway, the quality is so good. There's no delay so you see the play the same time as all the fans. I always get the "something is missing" feeling, like being at a watch party with 70K people. But it's still nice to be there imo -
FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Bartles replied to TKthunder2's topic in Football
This is no longer a thing. The Sugar has to take the higher ranked of SEC & Big 12 (Georgia). Rose gets Big Ten (Oregon). What's interesting is the Big 12 should funnel to the Fiesta, but that would mean ASU goes there and I'm not sure CFP likes that. Here's their language: The selection committee will assign the four highest-ranked conference champions to Playoff Quarterfinals hosted by bowls. This will be done in consideration of historic bowl relationships, then in consideration of rankings. For example, if the Sugar Bowl hosts a Playoff Quarterfinal and the SEC champion is ranked No. 1 and the Big 12 champion is ranked No. 3, the SEC champion would be assigned to the Sugar Bowl and the Big 12 champion would be assigned elsewhere. -
Big weekend in Philly with Orville Peck on Friday and Fontaines D.C. on Sunday. I might experiment with not drinking for Fontaines so I can get a GA spot early and just stay put. They're such an awesome live show (Orville too but we have seats for him)

They dangled GameDay to Kentucky if they only beat S. Carolina at home. Corso said it on air. Oops Mark Stoops. Being Herbie's bff still won't get you more than six point against the Gamecocks. Maybe you can focus more on UGA without the GameDay spotlight in Lexington

That was a fun couple weeks last September Sadly...The Rock won't come back...to Boulder

Guest picker will be Will Ferrell, maybe in response to Fox having Derek Jeter on (who at least grew up in Michigan) Fox show will be three hours (usually two). ESPN offering free breakfast and t-shirts to early arrivers
