    Yeah I was just going to post this prosecution closing is really drawn out. Sounds like a lot of redundant points.
  2. Bartles
    Yeah, these threads used to quickly turn into dick-measuring about who owns what antiques and how they can be modified today. And saying thank God the shooter didn't know how to [something about the gun or his tactical strategy] or else way more people would have died. And of course "mental illness!"

    Top assistants learned under Rick Barnes, Bill Self and Larry Brown. Pretty sure these guys know what to do in terms of 21st century recruiting. Especially here in the NCAA's no-enforcement era.

    Yep
  5. Bartles
    Yep, 15 minutes in and it's 1-0 Dortmund which would advance if that holds up

    City starting XI suggests Pep is looking to advance 0-0, which I think has burned him in past CLs

    2021 MLB Thread

    Maybe he'll be declared out in the runoff election

    Concrete Cowboy was well done, if a bit predictable. Partially true story of urban horse riders in north Philadelphia facing land development one on side and neighborhood drugs/crime on the other. Idris Elba, Method Man, and the Stranger Things kid star. One review said it would have been better as a documentary, which is probably true. They actually do use a few real-life riders from the area, who give interviews over the end credits.

    Fuck COVID for having clubhouses still closed to media, would love to see the Philly and national media let loose on the Braves before the Saturday game. There might actually be some good takes.

    They could have issued a statement of disagreement, mention the economic impact and leave it at that. Leave out the bullshit about the voter rights "discussion" since they obviously would prefer nothing more be said, ever. And not use the term voting "opportunities" which sounds like a right wing dog whistle.
  12. Bartles
    Pathetic statement by the Braves. Keeping it in Atlanta would provide "a platform to enhance the discussion?" Sorry, Chipper, but MLB just enhanced the discussion on a national level. And they say voting "opportunities" instead of "rights"...I guess that's gonna be the euphemism now.

    They're a big "keep it in the family" school (same as Duke). Probably strong consideration for Steve Robinson or Hubert Davis from their current staff. Buzz Peterson and King Rice are former players still pretty successful at other schools. Somehow Larry Brown's name will be thrown in as well.

    Since we don't have a women's tourney topic... ICYMI - she suggested the NCAA stop testing for Final Four specifically because players who test positive should still be allowed to compete for the championship.

    Sorry I missed getting in this year. Ballsy pick of Ohio in the 1st round is rewarded

    As putrid as Buzbee obviously is, using Instagram is a great strategy. It's a one-way press conference whenever he wants, and the media have no choice but to at least acknowledge it now that cases have been filed.

    The board(s) have gotten better over time, but it's still deflating to see so many posters be like "what about the police report?!?" as if these women's lives would be anything but ruined if they went to law enforcement. Straight A college girls at good schools can't even get their (often female) campus counselors to move their cases forward. A female masseuse has no chance. I do agree with the Surly mob that the involvement of this particular lawyer casts doubt on everything. Seems like his office found the girls rather than the other way around.

    Due diligence in this high profile a situation means way more than just having some calls with LSU administrators.. Long was in the SEC for years. Word should have gotten to him about Miles' reputation, and quite likely did.

    EPL 2020-21

    Bartles replied to Firemans4Horn's topic in Futbol

    According to the broadcast, City has broken the league record with 19 straight games without trailing on the scoreboard. Arsenal had an 18-game run in 1999. It seemed like the last couple years, just about every City goal was something to do with DeBruyne and/or Sterling, maayybe Jesus mixed in occasionally. But this year a bunch of guys who have been with the club have finally come to life. And the addition of Dias in the back was obviously huge, maybe the key to the whole resurgence.

    Another good show IMO. The final sketch, with Jonas and McKinnon flirting at the bar, is one the SNL haters would probably make exhibit A why the show is awful, but it's exactly why I still love it. Not the funniest sketch of the night or anything, but it's just silly and uncomfortable and the cast doesn't care, they have fun with it.

    Champions Classic chumps go 4-0 on Saturday against decent competition: UKY over Tenn / MSU over Indiana / Kansas over Tech / Duke over Virginia

    Lavelle off the bench gets the lone goal in the 79th minute, 1-0 USA vs Brazil (former coach Sundhage) on Sunday

    USWNT 2021

    Bartles replied to Captain Ron's topic in Futbol

    Scoreless at half vs Canada in the SheBelieves Cup. From what I saw, ball was predictably near the Canada net most of the time. Pretty solid lineup for USA, some key subs including Lavelle Brazil 4-1 over Argentina in the earlier match

    Wentz has physical and mental issues. Still has a good arm and is big/strong enough to shed some tacklers, but he doesn't read the field worth a shit and isn't very accurate. He had like two friends on the Eagles after five years. I don't think he'll be as good as 2020 Rivers in Indy. The Eagles, well, fuck. I make fun of the Cowboys for being perpetually in the 6-10 win range, but that seems to be where Philly is locked in for the foreseeable future. The returning OL/DL is OK, and we have a last place schedule, so it's unlikely we pick in the top five or anything next year regardless of how Hurts plays. And I'd say better than 50% chance they take a QB with their first pick this year, giving us two QB-of-future hopefuls with rotting garbage around them.

    Welp, he indeed went with the blame it on wind & solar when pressed why it's so bad compared to summer
