The Swamp

If you're the kind of guy who feels comfortable yelling at his wife and cussing at the top of his voice in a nice restaurant, maybe we shouldn't go to dinner together. Really upsetting dinner with "friends" last night. This is a friend of my wife's whom I love and think is amazing and swe...

Order for him? His bad eyesight affects his vocal chords? No, his bad eyesight doesn’t affect his vocal cords, but it surely soured his disposition. Again, something she was aware of. Like I said, this sounds like a two-way street. Even if you bend over backwards to see his point of view, there’s n...

That link says they are leaving their name and logo in Phoenix, presumably for a future expansion team.

I wonder what they'll nickname the team? Something that says, "Utah" I guess? Hmm... "Jazz" is already taken..., maybe the Utah Zydeco? Or, the Utah Hiphop? SLC Punk?

Gotta admire your commitment to the principle, bfj! (I'm not a fan, either, but wasn't going to poke the bears, so to speak.)

Yeah, Holtzman was a great pitcher for the Oakland A's in those three World Series wins. Hit a home run in one Series, too.

I read that most CBS stations in the Eastern and Central time zones cut the concert off early, during the middle of Piano Man, to go to local news.

Yankees pitcher Fritz Peterson, infamous for trading wives with a teammate, dies at 82

Good on you, Wlu, going to a such lengths to see your kids perform. And, good job by your daughter there, too!

I have no idea who. But I’ll guess Russell Westbrook.

So, after finishing the series of The Gentlemen, I thought I’d finally get around to watching the film which preceded it. Very fun. It’s probably available on dvd at your local library

sancarlos

Yeah, that was a hell of a save. That kid went undrafted, so he is a free agent. Earned himself a nice contract from somebody with his play the last few days, I’d guess.

The Jets and the Avalanche are highly likely to face each other in the upcoming first round of the playoffs. Today, Winnipeg just edged Colorado 7-0. One wonders how that carries over into the playoffs.

O Pioneers!

Denver wins its tenth national hockey championship. Most of any NCAA team!

I think they had the highest wage bill in League Two so gonna start getting a lot tougher from here. But League One is a big deal. Start playing some decent sized clubs at that level. They might be able to retrench to get to the Championship by 2026. Yep. Who knows what they could accomplish? Ipswi...

Mercí. Zut alors!

Only one spot out of the playoffs for promotion. But, only two games remaining, and the team they have to catch, Oxford, leads by two points and has a game in hand.

sancarlos

Are you kidding? A school in Jersey nicknamed, the Canucks? Is there a story involved?

sancarlos

Great question. And I agree that increasing the size of the court - and possibly the lane - would help. It's kind of wild to think about the size of players today compared to when the court size was decided. Obviously, there are logistical issues with increasing the size of courts at some older gym...

sancarlos

Yep. Happy ending for the upcoming season of Welcome to Wrexham, which will premiere on May 2.

I don’t know why the Winklevosses think they are the first crypto team. League Two Crawley Town’s owners are clearly crypto tech bros. WAGMI purchased Crawley around the same time the NFT market began plummeting and crypto investors turned to real-world assets for stability. “We were trying to use a...

From the outside, it seems like a pretty smart hire. BYU finished with a better rating than Kentucky this year. Guess which team had better talent? And BYU plays that ultra-modern offense of a ton of threes and layups. I think they were #4 in the country in the % of their shots from the 3pt line. I...

However his most famous composition will likely always be the theme song to The Office (US).

Ferguson was also the lead singer for the old rock band, Spirit, best known for their song, “I got a line on you”.

This BC team is stacked. First two goals tonight by Sharks’ first pound pick, Will Smith. Next goal by Flyers’ first round pick, Cutter Gautier (since traded, as you know). Next goal by Rangers’ first round pick, Gabe Perrault.

Burns an Karlsson both essentially played rover. Elite offensively but always an adventure on defense. Vlasic never really filled that mold. He used to be an excellent defender, but he got old overnight, a couple years ago.

Denver is ranked #3 in the country. BU is ranked#2. So, not a big upset. Go, Pioneers!

It's important to remember that without Johnnie Cochran, we wouldn't have Jackie Chiles!

The problem in Phoenix was always the location of the arena, until they moved. Phoenix has traffic and it was a tough location. Now they play in that tiny facility, but at least they sell it out.

Let's age ourselves, where were you when the verdict came down. Being the old guy here, I was well into my working life. I don’t know where I was for the verdict, but for the slow-motion Bronco chase, I recall it was a Friday, post-work hours, and I was having drinks with work friends at a Palo Alt...

It is kind of shocking/amusing when you read about pitchers throwing extra-inning complete games in the olden days. A pitcher named Jim Brosnan were diary books of his 1962/63(?) seasons (I own both books - they are like Jim Bouton’s Ball Four , without the salacious parts). Brosnan talks about how ...

Great running back. I knew a guy who grew up in the same San Francisco neighborhood as OJ and Al Cowlings (he was a couple years younger than them). He said that in addition to being a star high school and Juco running back, he and his friends were also well known in the neighborhood as being tough ...

Chiefs may need to consider drafting a receiver.

Crazy that Matt Holliday was in the big leagues in 2018, and now his kid is there.

Was it him or Zach Morris who went right-wingy? Worst I can find for JVDB is one "Biden is too old" rant that Fox News picked up on. I think the alma mater would have avoided him if he'd gone anywhere approaching full-MAGA. What probably made me think this is when anyone moves from Califo...

Wiki tells us it is the hometown of jazz great John Coltrane, soccer star Eddie Pope and blues guitarist Bob Margolin!
