Right. They're circling the wagons here.

I noticed when it was running last night that all the people washing the feet were white. Those having their feet washed were not. I'm sure there's a "cleanse the sinner" thing going on there somewhere. Nothing to do with theology. Young people are leaving the church in droves mainly due ...

I sent a congrats to a former coworker after LinkedIn told me it was his 4-year anniversary at Meta. He used to work for me as a developer at a small company where he was underpaid. We were chatting about how he's thinking of leaving. He casually mentioned that he's now making 6X what he was making...

Every player understanding the salary cap would likely have more direct on-field impacts. No Sybian nailed it when he mentioned the disorienting nature of not knowing the rules can have a negative impact on your ability to win the game. Also it smacks of Shanahan NGAF enough to explain the rules be...

I'm with Ched here. It sounds bad but I don't see how it matters if the coaches know and are doing the coinflip decision and play-calling. I think it matters in terms of organizational philosophy and continued buy-in of the moment. You know, understanding the rules of how to win the game. It’s defi...

Finally.

SF were a lot better than I realized after Baltimore beat the snot out of them a couple months ago.

Another garbage spot by the refs, but Mahomes runs for 20 anyway.

EnochRoot

Why wouldn’t Reid challenge that craptastic spot? Unless they saw a replay that showed Kelce was down before moving the ball forward (there wasn’t), you challenge that call and use the review as if you’re going to lose the spot.

Stupid.

EnochRoot

That was one of the worst balls I’ve ever seen Mahomes throw.

EnochRoot

LOL at that being grounding. Freakin receiver was right there.

Amir Abdul-Rahim has South Florida (can't say USF h/t Howard) doing good things this season in the American. They were down 13 at the break on the road at Rice, but he got them to reset their focus and they basically eviscerated the lead before 5 min had elapsed in the 2nd half. IMO he's going to be...

I know it shouldn't blow my mind, but it does when the special prosecutor says that "Joe Biden is a well meaning elderly man with a poor memory" and therefore won't have charges brought against him for the classified documents handling and it's wall to wall coverage headline news everywhe...

I didn’t realize Rudy Gay isn’t currently on an NBA roster. I would’ve seen the news had he retired.

A while back, I had a disagreement with some folks about whether it was correct to accuse the Right of book burning where they burned some empty boxes as a stunt and they weren't actually burning books. Well, they're explicitly burning books now - and making it part of their campaign platform. http...

The Chiefs rush for around 200 yards and win by 10 points.

EnochRoot

That sucks, Dave. At least he went out doing something he loved (mechanical failures aside).

My Twitter tonight was completely dominated by the Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs rendition of Fast Car and I love it. It's rare that we can all come together to be wowed by a particularly spectacular piece of art. Good for her. I loved her debut. Played it a lot delivering pizza. IMO yet another cas...

Nothing will ever come close to racist for me the way Ari Shaffir did The Amazing Racist 20ish years ago before he became more well known. Rounding up Mexicans at Home Depot and then driving to the immigration office. Going to a Asian restaurant dressed as a geisha and asking "What kind of Chi...

It's been 5 years since he got shitcanned and I honestly couldn't give a shit less. His stand-up special on Netflix is friggin' great and I'm pretty sure he learned from the incidents. I agree. I felt like he got railroaded a bit. I don’t remember the joke that got him fired, but IIRC, someone dug ...

Has anyone else started the "Masters of the Air" on AppleTV? I've watched the first 2 episodes, and its pretty good so far. The flight scenes are terrifying. Heard an interview with the main writer (he also wrote the "Day of Days" episode of Band of Brothers) and it was pretty i...

Just watched Saltburn. That was….something. I just watched it today. And yup. Something is right. It had laugh out loud moments and what the fuck moments, so I was thoroughly entertained. Yeah, crazy fucking movie. I liked it. the scene where he fucks the dirt over the grave was disturbing. I was w...

Imho, that honor goes to The Asphalt Jungle.

Never seen it.

Was just watching Capricorn One tonight on Hulu, and my recency bias says you're wrong.

What the hell was I thinking? I would’ve lost anyway to the buzzsaw that was Duff, but I was not thinking of Scrabble tiles. I was thinking of the NYT Spelling Bee app that I play on occasion where random letters are mixed up and you build words making sure to use the center tile. Obviously repeat ...

That isn't entirely incorrect. It was quite a nice way to try and move on from football season. My oldest who is into all of baseball and not just the O's, was giddy about this deal. I'd love to see them sign Burnes to a longer deal before the season opens. Can't be disappointed with an opening day...

I think you can trade comp picks.

Grayson Rodriguez has a really live arm. But yeah, not sure you’re wrong on that one.

EnochRoot

If Burnes bolts after the season, they’ll recoup that pick in the 2025 compensation round, but that #34 pick they’re trading is already mitigated by the fact Gunnar won the AL ROY award (they have the 32nd pick as a result).

EnochRoot

DL Hall will hurt, but as good as Ortiz was, he’s replaceable. The comp pick will come right back should Burnes roll out of town after this upcoming season. He wanted out of Milwaukee, but now that he’s done that, we’ll see how he likes pitching in Baltimore.

What a 24 hours.

I had no idea Todd Blackledge was an announcer until the Browns/Texans game. He was pointless. you never heard him on a college game over the last 20 years? I don't watch much college football and when I have heard one of his games I probably didn't realize who it was. Yeah I think he was a top pai...

Not sure a couple private equity ghouls will be better than the Angelos era, but we shall see. It will be. I get it. Hopefully ‘absentee landlord’ doesn’t become a term used to describe this group and their handling of their latest acquisition. But yes, I highly doubt this group bought 40% ownershi...

I just read a story on yahoo that Tom Brady has been promised the analyst spot on Fox’s number one team for football broadcasts next season. ($375 million for 10 years.) But, we have no indication if he is any good (or bad) at his new job.… Yeah, that seems to be a pretty big risk, especially since...
