Re: Ball of Confusion
The discussion around this stuff makes my heart hurt. I have some friends commenting about their upset regarding the Israeli government’s response to the Hamas actions. I have other friends upset about rising anti-semitism. Others upset about US involvement and/or response. People make points but di...

Re: Return of Confessions
I really love a lot of Monty Python. Some of the issue some have might be generational, and some people don’t get/enjoy Brit humor, and some of their style has been copied or influenced others so much that maybe it doesn’t seem fresh or original to younger folks.

Sooo, the only way they get value out of Penix (aside from trading him) is if Cousins gets hurt or really sucks, meaning a horrible sunk cost.

BU sports are not at the level to have that kind of history. Do they even have a baseball team? I dont think ive ever seen a sporting event at now Nickerson Field. Is that on BU grounds? As you probably know, that story refers to the old Boston Braves (who then became the Milwaukee Braves, and then...

Re: Hey, I Learn Something New Everyday, Two
In a game against the Braves on this date in 1922, the Giants hit four inside the park home runs. How could this happen? Well, before renovations in the 1940s, the original dimensions at (Boston) Braves Field were 402 ft. (left), 550 ft. (center), and 402 ft. (right) leading to many inside the park ...

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
We just finished Deadloch on Prime video. Australian comedic murder mystery series. Female showrunners and the main characters are a lesbian couple and an odd woman cop, so it’s fairly female-oriented. But even an old philistine such as myself enjoyed it. First couple episodes were a bit chaotic, wi...

Read an article by Yahoo (Frank Schwab, not Bronto) that opined that the attitude displayed in the documentary excerpted in this tweet may have sunk Spencer Rattler’s draft stock (he went on the 5th round - much lower than many expected). https://twitter.com/pff_college/status/1566857917629874176?s=...

Normally, for liquor I’m partial to bourbon or rye. But, it’s a nice spring day here, and we’re drinking Negronis. Decent change of pace.

One thing I like about watching English soccer is that if the game is scheduled to start at 5:00, it starts at 5:00. Sports in the US (and Canada) never actually start at the advertised time. I was again reminded of this watching the NFL draft. Advertised to start at 5:00 PDT, the first pick went do...
