Condolences, my man. Thanks for sharing... I know I find it cathartic to get stuff written down and this place is a great place to just... Let it out.

I don't find Monty Python all that funny. I don't think a lot of their stuff a) ages all that well and b) transfers from the Brit to the American audience all that well. ETA - I mean, I'm trying to be objective, so I might be overstating this, as they are hugely popular. I would lean much more on &...

It's just so jarring and when you look at how cool/clean the lines are on the Rivian you really have to wonder WTF ppl are thinking.

On my business card, next round.

Nonlinear FC

That was a lengthy stretch of time to figure WTF you guys were talking about.

And, no, not I said the fly.

Nonlinear FC

(Some of you guys seem incapable of reading "this isn't my opinion, I'm just conveying a school of thought" I guess.)

((And I'm just kidding, I get it.))

My personal opinion is that people are dying in a genocide and all bets are off. I continue to hold the opinion that there are enough cultural/societal issues that make voting for anyone other than Biden in November is the ultimate cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's unconscionable, tbh. ...

I mean, I'm sure there's a ton more to the story, I'm just getting that from his interview with the D3 soccer guy called Simple Coach.

I'm not really staking out a position here, but it's not about one individual person complaining on social, it's the overall effect of many people going after Biden and creating a general atmosphere of negativity. That overall effect *could* suppress the youth vote. Biden's inactions, more than the...

The Baseball Club competes in league play as a division 1 member of the National Club Baseball Association (NCBA). The team is affiliated with the North Atlantic – North Division, competing against Boston College, Northeastern, SUNY – Albany, UConn, and UMass Amherst.

Nonlinear FC

I can just as easily say that people that agree with the pick are just finding reasons to justify a really bad decision.

The amount of bullshit this is going to cause in the locker room, alone, shows how little the GM and Coach thought this through.

Nonlinear FC

His wife got a new job in Baltimore and he said "it was my turn to take one for the team career-wise."

But, yes, it's wild that a guy that built a national contender had to step away from the program. Goes to show how little (relatively speaking) those folks get paid.

Nonlinear FC

As I've rambled many times, the rule is going to change, hopefully prior to the 2026 WC. They were piloting the switch in some leagues, but I don't know where things have gone from the pilot stage.

Nonlinear FC

Yeah, in a vacuum, you take Penix at 8... That's not (for me) the argument. They are trying to spin this that they are setting up for the future but trying to win now. That isn't how they sold this to Kirk, who I'm sure would've loved Odunze or as bri said someone on the OL to protect his old ass. ...

Appreciate you dying on Penix Mountain.

(The guys I respect that cover the league are baffled... I will retain my bafflement.)

Nonlinear FC

(The other slightly hilarious thing is that the reason Penix is such an "old" draft pick is... He's dealt with a ton of injuries!!)

Nonlinear FC

Right, which a lot of folks were talking about running up to this draft so... We're back to where we started.

Shithouse Crazy Train.

Nonlinear FC

The ONLY way to come up with a reasonable defense is to point out that Cousins is coming off of the type of injury that has the potential of being a long term problem.

Nonlinear FC

I mean, I'm on record up there.

I think it's almost like it didn't really need to be said because SO MANY folks were saying it.

Nonlinear FC

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I'm really digging The Rewatchables, which is a Bill Simmons production where he and 2 or 3 other folks go back over some of the most rewatchable movies from the 80s on up through early 2000s. It goes back to 2018 so there are a ton of episodes and y...

Nonlinear FC

BTW, and not for nothing, but I don't know that most ppl are looking at the flip side of this. You think Penix is psyched about this? Dude is OLD for a draftee, he's ready now (IMO) and now he's going to what will most surely be a tough QB room. I'd be livid if I were him. The point of getting draft...

Nonlinear FC

That is just a wild pick. Like a total WTF move.

I'm not sure if this is true, but there are pictures of the owner down in the team room... allegedly not happy with that pick. Don't know if I buy that, but boy... Kevin Costner ain't walking through that door.

Nonlinear FC

Funny, I was gonna say the same. My wife's bestie is from a very wealthy family (dad was president of the board at Congressional) and that family is a SHITSHOW. (Also, aside from that, I highly doubt TS is talking about her actual childhood home... poetry/lyrics aren't usually that literal. Just say...

Nonlinear FC

Aw man. Bummer. They sure got a nice media pop. Saw/heard 3 or 4 separate stories on that.

Nonlinear FC

Kind of a threadjack, but I want to see the play consisting solely of autistic actors in New York. Really cool story and the few numbers I heard were catchy AH.

Nonlinear FC

I'm not a regular listener but have always enjoyed the segments I drop in on.

I had no idea Davies had all that other stuff going on.

Wowsers.

Nonlinear FC

Yeah, agreed.

What bugs me the most about VAR is that when you slow down footage to a frame by frame viewing, EVERYTHING* looks like a serious foul/infraction. I don't mind freeze framing offsides and handballs, but fouls should mostly be viewed in real time mode.

Nonlinear FC

I would've been fine with a yellow, btw. I think the Japanese player made a bit of a meal out of that, tbh.

Nonlinear FC

That's a red. ETA - That's not what you're taught to do. You're taught to bring that knee up to protect you from being run into. You're not taught to kick out like that... For this very reason. When you bring you knee up, you can "legally" deck someone that is running into you. But that gu...

My goodness. I won't go into significant detail because no one cares, but to go from firing Juwan to hiring Dusty May, and from a roster with basically 1 scholarship guy to a team now loaded with talent and only 1 or 2 slots left...

MI basketball has been a real roller coaster the last month.

Nonlinear FC

I agree with all that. You could tell what Carbury told the team and Oshie is nothing if not a team first guy, so he was flying around trying to wreak havoc. As you kind of alluded to, it's not really his deal and he was reckless. But, still, that hit needs to get at least 2 minutes IMO. (I also did...

Nonlinear FC

(Cool story, but... kind of weird they didn't gravitate to the soccer team.)

Nonlinear FC

That’s why Panarin drilled the shit out of Oshie. Enforcers enforce. I know you're probably joking but he "drilled him" because of an uncalled high stick earlier in the game. Pretty shitty go after a dude with a history of concussions, but TJ also needs to be more careful. I don't really ...

I may have gotten a little to aggressive with the multipliers.

Thanks, again, trav for pulling this together.

For many MANY years, the entire marketing approach of the Bullets was to advertise when Magic and Kareem or Bird or MJ or Dominque or whoever the marquee stars were coming to DC.

While it's inarguable that in the States we've never had more access to soccer on all fronts... It's getting pretty spread out on all these platforms. Apple, Peacock, Paramount+, ESPN+ and Max (for national team games.) CBS Sports covers some of the turf that Paramount+ covers for obvious reasons, b...
