Perfectly normal behavior, right?

I still have my Facebook account, but I rarely go on there anymore.

Last night I found out, from Caity (who still occasionally looks at Facebook), that the wife of a sailing friend passed away a few weeks ago. I was stunned. Had no idea. Now I feel like a schmuck for not expressing my condolences ...

Sad divorced dad doesn't have fast food leftovers.

This is a great article...

Leicester v Southampton may be El Crapico – but it’s a game with meaning

They’re calling it the worst Premier League game in history. They’re calling it El Chaffico. El Crapico. The Derby Della Mediocre. They’re calling it the first Premier League game in which both ...

From the ads I've seen during the NBA playoffs, HBO is really hyping the hell out of the Paul Family reality show.

Is there really a market to watch that garbage family?

Weep for the future but didn't multiple 10s of millions of people watch the Tyson/Paul fight?

But how much of that was ...

Fuck Ben Shapiro with a rusty chainsaw, sideways.

Although, the save by Donnarumma against Trossard was a thing of beauty.
Not sure the "Arsenal need to sign a striker" talk has died down since Van Persie left.

It subsided a bit after they knocked out Real Madrid.

Since the thread has "(spoilers)" in the title...do we have to put stuff in the spoiler tag?

Anyways...I'm hoping at some point we get an explanation about the group with the weird facial scars.

DaveInSeattle

Sorry my friend.

Its probably just me...but its really weird to hear the Ref's calling him "LeBron" on the explanation about the flagrant foul...

DaveInSeattle

Ancellotti is probably glad that he's out the door after the season.

And after seeing the clown show that was the Real Madrid sideline during extra time yesterday, any chance that Trent Alexander-Arnold might have second thoughts about leaving the Liverpool love-fest?

DaveInSeattle

Liverpool were the class of the league this year.

Not easy to follow Klopp. Full marks to Slot.

To make it through the league with only 2 losses is pretty remarkable. And two of their draws probably should have been wins (the last minutes goals by Newcastle and Everton).

Slot took a job that ...

Ruttiger was gonna kill somebody. Needs a good long suspension…

Doctor Tottenham….good for whatever is ailing you…

Glad that Mo got on the score sheet…

Only caught episode 1 of Andor season 2 so far but we back.

Has entire season dropped or are they unspooling it one week at a time? Gonna turn Disney back on when it is all available so I can binge it on a free trial before turning Disney back off.

That's our plan as well.

But I thought I ...

Well...that was intense. I was worried about having nightmares after we finished the episode last night.

What the hell was Abby trying to do when she slid down the mountain and "woke up" the Zombie Horde?

Did the Horde know to go to the town by the tendrils in the water main?

So Abby woke up the ...

Why do I have the feeling that Arsenal is going to lose on Wednesday to Crystal Palace to hand the title to Liverpool?

DaveInSeattle

wow..that was a banger of a goal by Neto to put Chelsea ahead...

DaveInSeattle

Geez Everton...giving up a goal when Bernardo Silva is standing over the ball, pointing to where he wants his teammate to run to for a pass? That's awful...

Apparently they are not impressed with Judge Wilkinson.
