The Swamp

I only watched the odd episode of Bojack. If I wanted to pick it up, do I need to start from the very beginning? Or is there one particular season that would be the best time to pick it up? It’s probably worthwhile to watch from the beginning but if you really wanted you could skip season 1. I woul...

I'm watching Bojack again. Holy shit is it still so good and still so depressing, maybe even moreso as I age and identify with Bojack (other than all the sex, fame, and money). Some of the episodes are just devestatingly sad. Amazing show. For my money one of the best shows of all-time. Up there wi...

I will say it’s an interesting discussion though because it shows just how damaging it is to have an average QB on a big cap hit. Denver is basically pinning all its hopes on JJ McCarthy (or Bo Nix?) being the guy because this ensures they can’t spend on someone like Kirk Cousins or Mayfield.

I still don’t see the logic without having a replacement in place (unless they were picking #1 overall perhaps) but that puts it in some perspective. Because you’re not competing in 2024 either way and now you’re cap clean in 2026 rather than $30MM down? Seems like an easy call. I don’t think it’s ...

I still don’t see the logic without having a replacement in place (unless they were picking #1 overall perhaps) but that puts it in some perspective. I’ll be curious to see how Wilson does wherever he lands next year. I suppose that’s the big question. Does he have anything left in the tank or is th...

Or you could live in a city where there’s five of them.

He’s still probably league-average at worst but yeah this seems like a situation where he and Payton didn’t mesh and Payton won the power struggle.

I think the cap hit over two years but yeesh. Yes that’s true and important to know but yeesh is accurate. I don’t get the move personally. If they had someone waiting in the wings maybe but seems like they’d be better trying to make it work with Wilson even if they draft someone like JJ McCarthy.

Ain’t gonna have Russell Wilson to kick around in Denver any more. An expensive divorce. Denver has to take a $85 million dead cap hit.

I vaguely remember him. Don’t think he was on the ‘84 Royals team that the Tigers destroyed in the ALCS

Doesn’t get any more definitive than that.

Been stuck in Texas for over a week trying to get back to Vegas but it could be worse. Af least I’m not anywhere near that crap.

I’ll add my vote and say it doesn’t sound like Josh. Great song too though.

Barton Fink is very underrated in my opinion. John Goodman steals the movie though that’s maybe unsurprising.

Costas must have taken some edibles.

That place needs to be nuked.

A bit of Coens trivia. Miller’s Crossing would be the first Coens movie edited by “Roderick Jaynes” and he has subsequently edited every Coen Brothers movie since.

However Roderick Jaynes is a pseudonym for Ethan, Joel and Tricia Cooke who collaborate to edit their movies.

So what to do with Goff? He's not going to play another down without guaranteed money. Keep him or move on? Go with Hooker? Go after someone like Cousins? Goff has that fanbase believing in a QB in a way Detroit hasn't since Bobby freakin Layne. He's getting paid. Also there’s no one better out the...

Was kind of surprised to learn the Clippers have a winning record against the Lakers at Staples/Crypto Center.

Even a hypochondriac is right once. (Curious if he figures at all into the finale of Curb. Kind of sad they didn’t get to honor him by writing it into the show like they did Bob Einstein.)

Trump famously demanded two scoops of ice cream while everyone else was given one when he was in the White House and don’t remember Watters and Travis getting the vapors then.

They made an announcement at Mississippi State- UK game around 5 minutes to go that court storming would not be tolerated. A& M was up 4-5 or something like that. UK figured out a better way to stop the court storming. It would have been gratuitous and uncalled for if Mississippi State fans sto...

Today’s delivery is a little more manly I suppose. 21 tons of Marshalltown Tools.

(For anyone confused bc you’re not on Facebook and/or not friends with me on FB, I delivered 21 tons of Hawaiian Punch yesterday.)

To be fair this happened to Duke.

Same, right? 50-year-old me laments the empty calories but I actually did have some Hawaiian Punch a month or so ago for the first time in maybe a decade and it was incredible.

Here’s a very interesting review of Miller’s Crossing that was done upon its 30 year anniversary. Worth a read. The reviewer rates it as his favorite of all the Coen Brothers’ efforts. It’s worth reading but kind of bizarre that the reviewer omits No Country For Old Men amongst the list of movies t...

That’s the guy haha

I’ll grant the service is exceptional especially by fast food standards but the chicken is pedestrian compared to what other chains are doing these days.

The MAC will presumably add a 14th team in the near future as well and it’ll be fun to speculate where they go. Likely a school wanting to make the jump to FBS. There still also might be interest from Western Kentucky.

UMass joining the MAC in all sports. Interesting move for both sides. Leaving the A10 for the MAC is a step down in hoops but guess they feel they needed a conference for football more.

My father is the least patient person I’ve ever met (and it’s not even close). He flat out refuses my suggestion to ever go to Blake’s for a green chile cheeseburger, because he especially hates the wait, there. I try to explain it’s because the food is made to order, but it’s like talking to a wal...

I can’t post images bc they make it a PITA on these mobile phones.

Not the right guy!

You’re thinking of Punchy.

Just had Bojangles for I think the first time ever. Another chicken sandwich superior to Chik-Fil-A

unrelated: I was very surprised there was a Whataburger on the strip in Vegas. didn't eat there -- we got In-N-Out as soon as we landed and, well, there are like 20 Whataburgers here now -- but made sure to go in to just laugh at the idea of a Whataburger paired with a bar on the strip It only open...

New Geographer album (A Mirror Brightly) dropped yesterday and it’s pretty good. I’m really not a huge synth-pop guy with the exception maybe of Chvrches but there’s something really compelling about his voice.

There’s nothing to stop the judgments being enforced, except for: cronyism corruption tribalism privilege politics etc. (although it is heartening that it appears he has to pony up a half billion within the next month and that judge ain't taking no guff) Also you know DJT is completely illiquid so ...

And if he doesn’t? Still doesn’t matter if not enforced by…anyone. Whatever criticism you want to level at the various enforcement bodies and legal jurisdictions I don't think you can accuse them of not going after Trump. He's looking at two civil trials and four criminal trials in a 12-month span.

I’m going to start trying to bring back “what’s the rumpus?”
