Re: NBA Regular Season 2023-24 f./ NBA In-Season Tournament 2023-24
I feel like this was an issue that was raised in some NCAA games or teams as well. Maybe?

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
So, as an example, during the last episode, they kept splicing in scenes from Humphrey Bogart movies... It's stuff like that... It's more of a distraction than I would like and to SC's point, it's a little heavy handed (to me). But, overall, Farrell carries the show enough to kind of allow for that ...

We are digging Sugar, as well. There are times when the noir of it all can be a little much or distracting. But Colin is very engaging and I'm definitely drawn in by the plot.

Re: Twitter:The New Batch
Interesting point about the international angle for that particular scene. Because, really, that's a fucking bizarre 60 seconds without that context.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I'm not a smart man... So I don't really feel stupid being bewildered here.
Why were you guys saying Philly didn't need to pull their goalie at that point?? The only way for Philly to advance was winning this game in RW, no?
What am/was I missing?

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
So, I think the Caps have a better overall system to compete in the playoffs. BUT, they really don't have an explosive/elite player anymore that can do stuff that makes a true difference in pivotal moments. The Red Wings have more explosive players, but they lack discipline and the Rangers would've ...

Not shocking, but very unexpected the way this season played out. Youngest coach in the league has a bright future. Fixed a lot of really glaring issues with a roster that was lacking in a lot of areas.

I'm trying not to be too parochial, but they have realigned the Pac12 and SEC, while scattering the B1G to the winds. I just don't see that being how things land.

I hate to get hung up on some dude's tweet, but it sure seems pretty plausible that a motivated Flyers team beats the Caps and then Detroit shit the bed.

That was a very weird skit, which I kind of liked.
They've been doing a lot of stuff with former cast members. Which is nice, but also feels like a bit of slap in the face to the existing cast.
