Oklahoma City Bombing: A Day in America
I almost never watch any documentary about the Oklahoma City bombing. (I don't need to. I was there.) To this day, I've only been to the memorial twice and have never been to the museum, which I hear is fantastic. However, the doc on Hulu and Disney+ got great reviews and with the 30th anniversary coming up on Saturday, I decided to give it a watch. Highly recommend this. It gets current interviews from all the people involved from Clinton, Keating, to the people on the ground. Also a lot of raw footage that I remembered. TBH, it's a tough watch but a great watch. At the 30 year anniversary of anything, the only people that remember are the people too old to forget. I put this here and no the TV board or god knows the CR because I want it to be a wide ranging topic for discussion. If you haven't watched it, please do but better yet, watch it with your kids. If you're under 30, you weren't even alive. The only people that remember something at the 30 year mark are people who are too old to forget.

Tell me about ou
Yes, the "hate" is ancient history. Whenever I go to the game in Dallas, I sit on the 50 yard line, which is always intermingled with fans from both sides. There's not hate at all. Good natured ribbing, yes, but it's not the 90's when people were getting into fights in the West End. Last time I sat next to a guy whose daughter went to Arky and we had a good chuckle about that and our unholy trinity of fandom.

NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Part of it has to do with how PJ Washington plays like first team all NBA whenever they play. The biggest difference would be instead of having Dort guard Luka, he'd have guarded Kyrie. Now he'll guard Klay. But I think a fully healthy Mavs team would have taken OKC to 6 or 7 games.

NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
With all they've been through this season, I still expect them to beat Memphis and make the playoffs. (Memphis just isn't that great.) Could be wrong, though. To your point about Kyrie, though, a fully healthy Mavs team was probably the worst matchup for OKC. That's just a big team.

That's what I was just thinking. I've never heard of this brand so I went to their website. It's just basic apparel (T shirts, etc.) for $40. There is nothing remotely unique about it.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I don't even know where to start with this: Musk refers to his offspring as a “legion,” a reference to the ancient military units that could contain thousands of soldiers and were key to extending the reach of the Roman Empire. During St. Clair’s pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in other women to have even more of their children faster. “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” he said to St. Clair in a text message viewed by The Wall Street Journal, “we will need to use surrogates.” He has recruited potential mothers on his social-media platform X, according to some of the people.

Tell me about ou
Arky and Iggy hate Texas far more than OU does.

Tell me about ou
Just because someone is a rival doesn't mean you hate them. The hate (if there's any left) that OU and Texas have for each other is a fraction of what it used to be. The schools and fan bases have found each other to both be rational players unlike some of the others.

NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
In this scenario, we're saying you should never win MVP if you're on a good team. If you're on a good team, of course you have a good roster. SGA could average 50 if he wanted to. Then again, so would Jokic.

I always love the Jennifer Nettles episodes. Also, the casting, wardrobe, and acting of the kids as teenagers was 100% on point.

He said Jokic should get MVP because Shai has a better roster but then struggled to say whether Jalen Williams should be All NBA or Dort should be DPOY.

NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
I guess I didn't realize the Suns had the highest payroll in league history. Jeez. I don 't see where they go from here, either. They've completely ruined Booker's career up to this point. Kuminga with the DNP in the Cippers game. At what point do we talk about how bad GS has been on drafting and development over the years? They either can't play of Draymond doesn't get along with them so they ship them out. He should take more heat for this, actually. Had they not won the title in '22 (which was kind of a fluke), they'd have wasted the back half of Steph's career. They had the draft picks, too. The Clippers won some games down the stretch but with the exception of yesterday, they were beating bad teams or good teams resting people. They lost to OKC who was without Chet and Jalen Williams. Yes, Harden is a fat sloppy mess but he's still rarely hurt at 35 and putting up very solid numbers. One of the better stat sheet careers in history. He'll shit the bed in the playoffs, as always, though.

They could, in theory, miss the playoffs altogether. I still think them and Memphis win for the 7 and 8 seeds. OKC was a real winner here. They'll get Memphis, SAC, or Dallas in the first (likely Memphis) and then Denver or LAC in the second. They push off the Lakers, GS, and Minny into the other bracket. Those all were a lot more worrisome in a 7 game series. I think the Lakers come out of that half.

It's why it's the best to watch. US Open has guys struggling to make par. Masters give us the big shots.

The Masters 2025
Same. I love the Masters and one reason is the drama on Sunday. That back 9 is all risk and all reward. Every one of those guys today knew they had to go out and get some shots and the shots are there on that course but the misses are painful.
