  1. Couple links: Gerogia racist rep asked to resign immediately - he still has a few months left on his term Art dealer from first episode is from Austin
  2. The Ricky departure was funny to me. If it was really TWD style, she would have reappeared to save the day at some point later in the movie. But nope, apparently she just said fuck it, I'm out
  3. Yeah, Hoskins is exactly the kind of player for this list. He even yelled at one of our asshole fans recently. I would put Scherzer over Soto on the Nats based on experience.
  4. It is Sharknado without the sharks or the 'nados. Or basically any Walking Dead episode after season one.
  5. I've been a several Little Italy places and never disappointed. Very walkable from Inner Harbor. Baltimore Trolley Tours depart from the harbor. We enjoyed the longer one we took showing the architecture around the middle of the city.
  6. Jerry was actually very nonchalant about being photographed in public during the Galifinakis interview. He seems to realize most people have like 45 followers and the picture quality will suck anyway, so no one really sees it. It's funny HG mentions production issues and there are definitely more camera/crew photobombs now. But overall it's still a good show...you hope for 2-3 laughs and maybe 1-2 nuggets about behind the scenes stuff from Jerry or the guest. The post-credit banter is usually as good as anything in the actual show. I wonder if he's able to keep cranking these out with mostly A-list guests because they know it's very light conversation, you don't need to burn much material and he won't make you look bad no matter what mood you are in.
  7. Luckily #JohnCooperKnew or #JimJordanKnew probably won't lead to as many 500-page threads here
  8. I was just about to post that...hard to rank his greatest Insta hits but that is up there. Mo Bamba commented: "Somebody needs to take ur phone...I'm weak"
  9. Great thread, I do this occasionally and always mean to look up more sets. Van Halen 1984 tour might have been the first one I sought out, since I was kind of literally iced out of seeing that show in HS. Just for nostalgia, I also looked up Huey Lewis Sports tour, Loverboy from the same era and LL Cool J early 90s. I regret nothing.
  10. Jeff Long hired as new AD. Did some good things at Arkansas but Bielema brought him down. KU a much tougher rebuild than the Hogs. His daughter attending Mizzou won't help him much with fans
  11. I think he's pretty valuable to them as that is a rabid and reliable audience he brings. An extension for him seems like the kind of thing that they would purposely announce a few days ahead of SEC media days to bring some added attention. Feeding dirt to Clay Travis only hurts his negotiating position I would think
  12. Clay Travis doesn't break news. I suspect this is posturing from Finebaum camp. Whatever ESPN offers will be far better exposure for him than anyplace else. He'll happily sign whenever they get around to it.
  13. I agree, you can tell the RF was called off* because he sauntered in without realizing it was going to land right in front of him. But that would have been a great play for any of them to make. Reminds me of Nellie Cruz in the WS, yes he should catch it but it's not a routine play. *Reading the story, they said no one called for it so I guess RF just assumed they had it
  14. Gotta rep my indie gateway band, Death Cab new album in mid-August. Love this song and the lyrics are simple yet powerful like many of their best tracks from the past...
  15. I whisper this about War on Drugs sometimes, though it's probably blasphemy. Yacht rock doesn't have to be cheesy IMO
  16. I always assume post-credit scenes are meant for the diehard fans, and so while they may have some relevance they aren't going to be pivotal in future storylines. I didn't even know there was a scene until I opened this thread. I guess the EW.com interview gave a very possible explanation of the scene, which if true confirms a couple things: it isn't vital to future storylines, and it's an example how the show can do pretty much anything and say later, "that was a simulation". I did like Nolan's final answer in that interview. Don't exactly trust him to explore those themes in a coherent way, but I'll check it out.
  17. It's been in development for a while, IMDB has it listed with Jorma Taccone directing again. Swear I saw an article where they said they were about to get together and knock out the script a few months ago. Maybe with Last Man on Earth canceled, Forte can devote some time to it.
  18. I guess it's cheating to say Secret Life of Pets? MacGruber 2 is society's only hope
  19. Supposedly an incident in Scottsdale a couple years ago, he hailed an Uber for him and his entourage, and the driver reported that he groped her crotch while they were waiting in a drive-thru lane for food. Jameis' defense at the time was he did hail the Uber but was not in the passenger seat. Like Ray Rice and some other cases, NFL began investigating after the incident went public.
  20. Our daytime activities were Skansen outdoor museum (awesome place if weather is OK) and Old Town/palace tour. Also took a brief ferry tour just around the main harbor which was neat. Best eating and drinking area we saw was the nearby Ostermalm neighborhood. Beautiful architecture, though the crowd had a bit of an uptown Dallas vibe.
  21. I drive fast but you're correct, looks like two hours for sure. Point stands though, most distance flights will connect at ORD anyway
  22. Been there a few times, though never in dead of winter. My friend lives in Arbor Hills area, he and his family love it. Nice neighborhood and fairly affordable. Traffic is worse than you would think, and as I recall the speed limit is 55 or not much higher. If you have to travel, I would just drive the 90 minutes or so to O'Hare. Cheaper and overall more efficient than MSN. But I guess that routine might get old after a while.
  23. I've wondered all day why this story about Leach tweeting a fake Obama video hasn't been posted on this thread. I guess there's no answer without Cloak Room implications, so I'll just leave the link here. Not his best work. Oh, and why does the video in the previous post contain an extended photo viewing of Nick Saban accepting the CFP trophy?
