  1. Ref screw job #1 of how many?
  2. No question -- Kentucky is the complete opposite of chopped liver. But when you're at match point in the third set and end up losing, that's a gut punch no matter who the opponent is, IMO.
  3. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Not accustomed to seeing the ladies choke like that.
  4. RIP, Mr. Cliff. The soundtrack to The Harder They Come is a classic. I'm also a fan of his 1982 album Special. Had a unique voice -- you knew it was him singing right away.
  5. Umoezulo (sp?) shitty tackling. Moore whiffs. After a pretty decent second half by the defense, the subs (and playing shell to avoid big plays over the top) managed to put a damper on things. This defense is going to have to tackle a lot better as a unit next week.
  6. Wouldn't surprise me to see Pig do something like an onside kick here.
  7. Contact with the receiver and never gets his head turned around. Not sure why that wasn't DPI.
  8. Color me shocked that we didn't get called for roughing there.
  9. It was a hold, but yeah it needs to be called both ways. Not a good drive for Baker so far. Got his hands slapped down easily, which forced Arch to have to scramble before hitting Wingo. And then this pretty clear hold.
  10. Trey Moore needs to not be playing LB. He plays his best moving forward. Put him back at edge and run with someone (anyone) else at LB.
  11. Came here to post essentially the same thing. She fine.
  12. I sure do LIKE both of those songs.
  13. Sorry, but not sorry.
  14. CCR is one of those bands whose place in music history I certainly respect. The run they had during the 2.5 year period that Jimmy Jazz referenced in the OP rivals or beats anything that any other band ever did in a similar period of time. But while I like several of their songs (Green River, Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising [which always makes me think of An American Werewolf in London]), I don't LOVE any of them.
  15. I like the Lions losing, but that's a horribad call. Basically corrupt.
  16. LOL, SC is so lame. I said to my son when aggy made it 30-10 that it wouldn't surprise me if SC would fall apart and lose
  17. Jack in the Crack tacos were the subject of the best 3-word food review I've ever seen: "Vile and amazing."
  18. What?! No silver queen corn or Stowell evergreen corn?! That's a shite recipe.
  19. That looks . . . interesting.
  20. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46928693/former-nba-star-micheal-ray-richardson-dies-age-70 Those of us who were following the NBA in the early 80's figured this guy would be a perennial All-Star. File under "Players who likely would have been Hall of Famers but for drugs" along with the likes of Len Bias, Marvin Barnes, etc. Got overshadowed to an extent by the Lakers v. Celtics rivalry, Magic v. Bird, etc., but he could do it all. But, as Rick James once said, cocaine is a helluva drug. Glad he was able to kick it later in life, but it (along with Richardson's own terrible choices) ruined a really promising career.
  21. What inning?
  22. I like how the network highlights the corn WR blocking, and neither Brando nor his idiot broadcast partner catch that he engaged well before the pass was thrown.
  23. And a lucky win, thanks to the refs.
