  1. What was that, 5 straight offensive rebounds for the East? Chucking 3s from everywhere. The no dribble, back and forth between Jokic and Luka? down the whole court was kind of funny.
  2. I tuned in during the 4th, I think the East should push for 200+ points and break that record finally. They are at 179 with 7 minutes left, they can do it if they want to. The game lacks any sort of intensity or urgency, which is what makes actual games so interesting. I realize the players don't have to care about this, but this is pathetic. There is no drive, no competition in them to win it. I may have been a kid in the 90s watching the greats back then play, but I don't recall it being like this. I remember MJ flying in to dunk a ball off the rim after a missed free throw. I remember people actually trying to block shots or force misses. I know it has been bad for a while, but what the hell happened??
  3. New Trump kicks just dropped!
  4. You want a piece of me?!?! I could drop you like a bag of dirt. You want a piece of me? YOU GOT IIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! ... Well, he wrote the check, and I cashed it.
  5. Yeah well, America has killed people too, so you can't criticize the Russians for imprisoning and murdering the primary challenger to Putin...
  6. I haven't actually watched all the way through Seinfeld before. I tried getting into in college back in 2006, when I was really enjoying Curb, and I don't know how far I got, but probably fizzled out around season 5. I know there is one episode involving the Puerto Rican flag that I never saw because I was in Alabama at Space Camp when it aired. It was somehow offensive to people and wasn't re-run on TV again. No other way to watch the shows back then, so I never actually saw it, but I'm excited to see something new. I recently watched through all of Curb in prep for season 12's launch, and I noticed there are several re-used storylines from Seinfeld that appeared in Curb. - Elaine complains about someone who takes a sip of their drink and always says vocally "tssss AHHHHHH." That was used in an episode of Curb where Suzie started doing that, but Larry had to tell her to stop it. - The Car Periscope idea was mentioned in Seinfeld by Kramer as a great idea. Larry invests in one as a concept from a guy who has a homely looking wife, which Larry and Jeff thinks makes him trustworthy. - The ladies frames on George, same sort of thing happened to Larry on the season 12 opener. I'm sure there are plenty of others, but those ones stood out to me. A lot of phrases are re-used, but they work with the Curb stories, and are more like easter eggs to be noticed than something shoe-horned in somewhere they don't belong. Anyways, I'm at the beginning of Season 8 now, and just watched the Bizarro Jerry episode, which was great stuff. "Feldman and I gotta get down to the library." - nice guy from White Collar "Why?" "To read."
  7. I bet she was screaming "JESUS CHRIST" a lot and that really resonated with him.
  8. 23rd is about where I would rank him for his playoff performance too.
  9. It shouldn't be that surprising, the French are known for their use of nutmeg.
  10. Maybe Joe Espada had a dream that Singleton would hit a homerun to win the World Series, so he wants to keep him for the playoff roster?
  11. I hope there is one prime time KC game next year where the NFL works with the TV crew to repeatedly show the suite, but always have Taylor out of frame or somewhere else. It would be fun to watch the reactions and speculation.
  12. C"an I tell a quick funny story?” said Mahomes, “I threw a touchdown to this dude (Hardman) to end the game. He looked at me and had no idea, and I said dude, we just won the Super Bowl. He had no idea, and I’m like, he didn’t even celebrate in the beginning. What are we doing?” https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2024/02/12/kansas-city-chiefs-mecole-hardman-didnt-know-game-was-over-after-overtime-touchdown-super-bowl-lviii/ Sure sounds like he didn't know how it worked, but like I said, it doesn't matter. He's going to make the same play and catch the ball regardless. It's dumb to criticize Shanahan for not having classes on OT rules, when it doesn't impact the player's performance.
  13. If I'm SF, and I have that defense, I definitely want the ball first. Ideally score a Touchdown and kick the xp. That forces KC to drive for the TD, and they have to get the 2pt conversion if they want to win. If they opt for the XP, then I only need a field goal to win. Either way, I think you can make the argument for either team to take first or second possession in OT. I don't think it's fair to criticize Shanahan over it, it's his job to direct the team and execute his strategy. It really doesn't matter if the players understand all the rules, they need to do their jobs. And on that subject, Hardaman, the guy who scored the game winning TD in OT didn't have a clue that KC won the game when he scored. So a lot of good all those OT rules meetings did for KC...
  14. He's only 22, he could grow some more...
  15. This seems promising...
  16. Let the man work, he can't come out there and start praising Biden's numerous accomplishments despite his memory issues. He has to appear independent to set his audience and gain trust for a few weeks/months to bring in the "undecideds" and "libertarians." After he has them where he wants, then he will start shining a spotlight on Trump's stupidity every week and contrasting it with Biden's record.
  17. KD, now is the time to release the recorded phone call of Dray crying in his car, begging you to join his team. Or just an eyewitness account of it in great detail will do.
  18. I don't think they have the money to keep Jones. If he's really looking for 30m+ a year, I think they let him walk. Now hopefully he doesn't end up in Baltimore and goes to the NFC, but yeah...
  19. Good episode, the double gift idea is actually pretty awesome. Is the jockey statue a real thing in Georgia? I have never seen one of those anywhere before. Not sure if this prediction is true, but...
  20. In the Soup Nazi episode, Jerry is dating Sheila, who he annoyingly refers to as "Schmoopie" and chose soup over her. She only appeared in that episode, but she also played Alice on Office Space (Peter's girlfriend that forces him to see the hypnotherapist), and she was on In Living Color for a few years. Not a ton of acting credits to her name, but she has been married to George Stephanopoulos for over 20 years now.
  21. The bonus of stealing Madubilke from the Ravens would be super helpful come playoff time. Might be the best way to hurt them and improve the Texans at the same time.
  22. I hope spends some time skewering Apple TV for trying to make him compromise his show.
  23. Oh now here's an idea of how to get the old people on board with the robo-ump system, let's get her behind home plate! https://theathletic.com/5269813/2024/02/12/jen-pawol-mlb-umpire/
  24. Only a few that stood out from yesterday, but 12 years ago NBC did a fun intro when they had their amazing lineup of comedies 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Rec and Community still on the air.
