Guy on the USTA team I'm captaining was on the 1984 UVA Final Four basketball team with Rick Carlisle and Olden Polynece.

Really good tennis player. Serves with both hands.

Wouldn't you serve better using just one hand?

I need someone to help me with the Rhiannon Giddens love.

I'm a fan. Used to be in a good band called The Carolina Chocolate Drops. Great banjo and fiddle player. She got a lot of airtime as a commenter in Ken Burns's Country Music series.

Regardless of how one shades it, I think that's a surprisingly high price paid for Mantha. Might have been par for the course in a different season, but not compared to other trades this season.

I know you usually pick films that are easy to mock, but I legitimately like this one.

Second the recommendation of Breeders. Kind of a quirky family dramedy. Martin Freeman is always good.

I’m sorry, PDX. That guy sounds like a shit. And man, do HOA meetings suck. Years ago, back when I bought a condo, I went to a meeting right after I moved in. Iirc, we spent at least half an hour listening to people debate whether or not a dead tree should be removed. I never went to another meeting...

Wife's clinic...Also been suggesting to abstain from alcohol... I was over-served Wednesday, after getting my 2nd shot that morning. As I said in a previous post, I was foggy and tired Wednesday night and most of Thursday. But woke up today feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed again. Never felt sick.

Damn, BFJ. Im sorry you and you wife and your son have to go through all this unfair bullshit. Best of luck, bud.

I had no problem with my first Moderna a month ago. But after getting my second yesterday, I’ve been in a fog since last night. Having a hard time determining how much of it is due to the shot, and how much is just a hangover from too much imbibing last night. I did have the chills at bedtime though...

Me too! Second Moderna this morning. Feeling fine so far, but a little nervous for tomorrow.

Ditto! And, ditto.

So I'm watching Being There (Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine). Where's this freakin movie been all my life?

That is a great one.

Chauncey Gardiner reminds me of a benign version of Trump.

Did any of you kids ever do the thing where you poke tiny holes in the side of a coke can and smoke it through them?

Aside from getting Cabo San Lucas, I'd say Austria got hosed on the division of land.

Funny. A guy in my fantasy football league calls his team Wonder Twin Powers (he's the father of twins). Sometimes he'll send out an email to the league with a cartoon image or gif like that one.

I like tradition. In my mind, it's silly for a team called the Red Sox to not wear any red.

And, let's face it. They aren't trying to be cool or innovative. They're just trying to sell more replica merchandise.

So, Aaron Rodgers is guest host of Jeopardy this week. A contestant’s flippant answer during Fnal Jeopardy today was “Who decided to kick that field goal?” Rodgers takes it in stride, pauses and says, “That is a great question.”

My daughter got her first jab today. Yay!

I wonder if they've considered just shutting down the Canucks for the rest of the season.

I don't know if he was referring to a specific incident or if this is just a non sequitur, but either way, it's a good statement. https://twitter.com/AnonyWhiteMale/status/1378730379306098689?s=20 ETA: Lots of people in the comments saying that Freeman never said this and it isn't his quote. Oh, well.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

After four games against the Astros, the A’s are 0-4 with a run differential of -26. The fans were ready to heckle the Astros but it rings hollow when you’re getting pummeled repeatedly.

my mom harassed me til I got an appointment the 14th. anxiety about it has been kind of nasty. haven't decided if I'm keeping the appointment or just going to lie about it. Cmon dude. You voluntarily put your health at risk for years, and you’re anxious that this vaccination may be an issue? Get th...

You dumb ducks - this is the best game ever.

WTF?
Maybe Kentucky /Duke better? Maybe? What an amazing game.
Oh fuck that. I was 30 minutes in front of the "HOLY SHIT" nonsense. I need points for that. Like, quote my dick and shit.

You were the first to note what a great game it was.

sancarlos

What an amazing finish!

Unbelievable year for the PAC-12 women, too. Arizona vs. Stanford in the national championship final.

Sabo, I knew everybody would chime in with great single malt options. But, to be contrarian - if your friend usually drinks J&B, he might prefer blended scotch over single malt (crazy, I know). If so, you should get him a upper-tier blended scotch, like Chivas Regal or Johnny Walker Black or Gold.

Didn't see a baseball thread. MLB.TV is today's T-Mobile Tuesday giveaway. Sprint members are included since T-Mobile owns them now. Thanks for this. Made sure I signed up on Tuesday night and fired it up tonight once I saw the Mets-Nats was virused out, and then I realized that was the only game s...

Is there some known reason why all these guys are saying FU to UF?

I watch tons and tons of old movies. And, like you Bapo!, I have my favorite actors, writers and directors. But, I have to admit, I've never been any kind of a fan of Richard Burton. I wonder if he would actually even be a memorable celebrity if it weren't for his over-publicized romance with Elizab...

Some Baylor account with a large following posted Covid positive tests by Baylor and Gonzaga.

So, I’ve had a full beard for awhile and decided to shave it off today. But, I left a little chin goatee and soul patch. My daughter is home on break and I asked her what she thought. She disgustedly replied, “You look like you’re auditioning for Smashmouth.”

I had to laugh.

I shaved it all off.

I get my 2nd Moderna next Wednesday morning. I really hope I don't have any side effects, because right after the shot, we are driving up to spend two nights in the wine country. It's completely anecdotal, but I have seen some people attest that staying well-hydrated helps reduce the side effects a...

Gotta get me one of those seven- (or eight-, right, Mr. Goodell?) figure jobs where you just eat PR bullets for a bunch rich people who want the money spigot left open full blast. That's basically the definition of most head corporate office Investor Relations and Public Relations jobs. Except for ...

I get my 2nd Moderna next Wednesday morning. I really hope I don't have any side effects, because right after the shot, we are driving up to spend two nights in the wine country. Staying at an isolated little VRBO. Plan on doing some hiking and a nice tasting at our favorite place (outdoors, social...

Funny how conservatives are always for businesses having the right to serve whomever they choose until it gets turned around on them or one of their causes like anti-vaxxers. They’re also not happy with businesses who exclude people carrying guns. Because people who enter a store have a right to pr...
