Agree, Agree, and what is X-Men 97?

I spilled my (non-alcoholic) drink watching that. it was a slight spill. Cuz I got up from my chair fast.

I have an eyeglass Rx and reading glasses. If I’m exhausted, my readers barely work. Basically, that guy’s eyes were shot, which obviously walled him off further than usual.

Angel Hernandez is worse than some BS early-season hazing of MLB rookies.

EnochRoot

More Angel Hernandez out-Angeling even Angel Hernandez.

Skip to the 1 minute mark.

Did something weird happen late in the day? Seems like everyone (or maybe just my four guys) all had a bunch of shit holes to close out. Wind was nasty for last 90 minutes or so. Likenbritish open nasty. I assume the winds that were there are now in the mid-atlantic - DMV has been under a gale warn...

Fallout (Amazon) is fucking fantastic.

Think Terry Gilliam level of absurdity/brilliance.

Apparently that cost him the SNL news desk job (OJ had a friend in a high place at NBC).

EnochRoot

I had just finished college and visiting a buddy in Boca. Friday afternoon we were at some happy hour, eating wings, drinking beer & playing pool. Jukebox on, but CNN on all the TVs. The coverage was about the LAPD searching for OJ. We got home a few hours later to what I guess you would call ‘t...

EnochRoot

Such a stupid moment in history.

IMO anything pitchers did before the year 2000 is anecdotal at best, or just irrelevant to today. Pitchers before the 90s worked as fast if not faster without a clock but they didn’t have the velocity/spin today’s pitchers do. But I think that's it. Even before considering repertoire changes, pitche...

Kemp is the guy DFA’d for Holliday.

If he clears waivers he has the opportunity to accept an assignment in Norfolk.

EnochRoot

If Holliday wins the American League Rookie of the Year, the Orioles won’t gain the draft compensation for having him on the roster all season , but Holliday will still be eligible to earn an extra year of service time if he finishes first or second in the Rookie of the Year voting, meaning that ke...

I enjoy watching Edey play - total throwback. Hope he lands somewhere in the NBA where he can settle in at 20 minutes a game off the bench and have a long long career. Why didn’t Painter go to the portal to sign a big to play 15 minutes a game? They ran Edey like a freakin mule this year. I get tha...

EnochRoot

If you say so. But to me that’s how you wind up with a team where 75% of your roster is from Indiana. And probably don't want to agree to be a backup. I’m not saying they need to sign a 3 or 4 star athlete who wants to crack the starting lineup. I’m saying there was perhaps a 5th or 6th yr transfer ...

14 v Alabama.

Hell, this game might've been a 20 point game had Hurley not shoved his player to get the offense moving.

WTF was that

EnochRoot

Did you guys see that offensive foul by Edey as he elbowed Karaban in the face?

Not even a thought of a whistle.

EnochRoot

I don't think I've ever seen a college player get such favorable calls by a ref in my life.

You can't guard Edey. And your moving screens are not the same as his moving screens.

From Jon Wurster's feed... New MÖTLEY CRUE Is A "Powerful Cross Between Country And Hip Hop" Look. For all the trash I talk about Mötley Crüe, I would love nothing more than for the band to put out some good new material. Mötley Crüe wins in that their fans are happy, I win because I get ...

Even after googling her I have no freakin idea who that is.

I like to pretend it's because I still have my edge despite whatever James Murphy tells me about losing his edge, but reality is most of you guys have children.

Didn’t UVA win the national title the next year after losing to a 16 seed? Yes they did. Damn....UConn is a really good team. Clingan is a beast. It will be fun to watch him and Edey go at it. Edey played all 40 minutes v NC State. I'm pretty sure he won't be able to do that v UConn. What's cool ab...

IMO Nate Oates is a top 5 Xs and Os coach in CBB. Trouble is, Hurley is too.

sancarlos wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 11:24 am To me, it’s about consistency. Would the refs have called it a foul in the second quarter?

This.

EnochRoot

It’s a play that either gets called or doesn’t get called. The refs dictate what you get away with, until a whistle comes out of the blue. That’s pretty much what happened last night.

EnochRoot

I mean, you could see how they might call that an illegal screen, but they hadn’t called the game that way all night.

Refs robbed the sport of a great ending (and Connecticut didn’t have to bury the shot for it to be a great ending).

EnochRoot

LOL at that being an offensive foul.

Fuck out of here with that nonsense.

As mister d has said several times pedroia should have seen the bench or a trade vs Betts in OF. Also is Bob Lobel still alive? No way he's still on TV. And they got rid of him cause $300mm. I would dump that into the best farm in baseball too. Chaim tried. Success questionable. They got rid of him...

EnochRoot

Mookie Betts succeeding at shortstop is ridiculous. Why can't we get players like that? Yeah, it’s pretty cool he’s still elite in the field 10 years into his MLB career…Though he was a very good 2B in the minors, who really was shifted to CF/RF because the Sox had Bogaerts at SS and Pedroia at 2B....

Ooooooh edgy.
