Double post.

I suspect there’s something potentially disastrously scandalous coming down the pike. A top coach doesn’t just leave UK. If it’s money, I would think Cal has enough cachet to get them to match any offer.

Angel Hernandez is the only thing all fans, no matter the age, agree with among the 30 fanbases.

I just caught the last quarter in the sportsbook attached to the arena. It looked like the same thing as last year - a machine with 5 well-oiled parts vs. 1 superstar. Of course, I’ve been drinking without eating much, so grain of salt and all that.

And “Central Jersey”, of course, doesn’t exist.

And an iPad. Just no TV. Dad is also gutted about the lack of ‘cock tomorrow AM

Hopefully not the Mrs. too.

I’m at my parents today in Southern Jersey, I didn’t feel a thing. If this turns out to be no real damage I’m going to be disappointed.

If it is damage, it’d be scary and potentially tragic, obviously. But if this knocks out my flight Sunday I guess I’m going on a road trip.

Fuck it. I’ll take it.

I don't know how closely the tournaments all work together, but if they set the NIT as an autobid for next year it would probably stop teams from backing out or not caring. I can agree with this part. There were so many opt-outs from this year, which I don't appreciate if it were a coach's decision...

I know that the excitement for the NIT finals is rightfully muted. But I appreciate that the two two teams fighting for it, Seton Hall and Indiana State, are two teams whose bubbles burst, thereby giving the winner some grist for the mill that they should’ve gotten in. Indiana State in particular wa...

From the Fun With Early Season Stats Dept., Bryce Harper added 800 points to his Slugging Percentage after tonight’s game. (0 for 11 coming in, 3 for 4 with 3 bombs tonight) My NL only shares of Harper thank him for his service. I took my son and brother last night. I run the Phillies 5K every spri...

With the obvious exception of the seminal Mr. Robot, has USA ever had a show in quality higher than “put it on while you’re doing other shit”?

couldn't believe when i was watching that last night that the Astros have had 17 - that's a crazy high amount, no? Great story last night and after the game was a runaway we were all rooting for the no-no. Blanco was dominant and quick. Meanwhile the Jays have been no hit 8 times, 6 in the last 10 ...

The last survivor of the Arizona more than deserves a mention: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5PDKZKxvvg/?igsh=ZjhmNnk0amhwZzQ5 So I’m not going to suggest the Michael Bay movie was any good, but the attack sequence, especially the Arizona explosion, man, how anyone survived that. Oh, and he later got...

I keep banging the drum on the war chest and abortion. While a lot can happen in the next six months I'm expecting this to be ass-kicking. I sincerely doubt the Republicans in Congress are going to get their shit together and govern with any competency, considering the racist MAGA dipshit wing of th...

So for the last one before we take off next week for UConn's eventual title, O Brother Where Art Thou. I'm a few behind, but I'm looking forward to it; I haven't seen it since I saw it on VHS. We should have a few weeks to catch up. It appears it's on Hulu.

Seal should cover it.

ETA: All kidding aside, Loretta Lynn was a damn treasure.

So they’re trying to make her the second most popular MAGA celeb, second to Ted Nugent?

If they win it all, we have to talk about this being one of the most dominant stretches since UCLA right? They haven’t been challenged in 10 straight tourney games. Yeah, no question. At this point, the most recent comp might be that UNLV team that beat Duke by 30 in the finals and then steamrolled...

Since the UConn game got out of hand, I put on the first episode of this season’s Amazing Race. And I’m glad no one told me that one team ended up recreating the corridor scene from the first Austin Powers. I’m not going to have a harder laugh all year.

Acuna is 50 bombs / 49 steals away from history, if you’re banking on those numbers in fantasy.

I think I mentioned I’m going to Cleveland for the eclipse, which is in the 100% zone. I’ve been monitoring the weather, and it went from rain in the am to partly cloudy in the am. Hopefully it’ll be clear in the mid-afternoon.

Never take a pizza recommendation from a guy who calls it za.

Similarly, nobody here allows “ZA” in Scrabble, right? I don’t care if they put it in the official Scrabble dictionary; it’s a bullshit “word”.

Tell me you showed the scene when the longshoreman brought the duck to the bar.

You’re right. I don’t know why I thought he was from STL. Always get those 1987 World Series participants mixed up.

Those ships might only be going like 8 knots or so, but they weigh dozens of thousands of tons. That's a tremendous amount of force, especially colliding in a relativity small impact area creates massive puncture pressure. It's steel, dude. Not adamantium.

I get that. But he’s a rich white guy in America. Him walking away scot-free is what’s expected. In fact, having anything stick to him is the exception and not the rule (because he’s a fucking moron). He was just going to the same thing he’s done for the last 40 years. Seeing his supporters get ruin...

Honestly, if I were still on social media and more spiteful, I’d be goading the MAGA dipshits to go invest in this.

Etrade was all like “Naah dogg. That’s just free money. Up the difficulty.”

The people who are going to lose their shirts on this is going to be tragicomic.

It’s obviously Mayor Pete’s fault somehow. Similarly, I’m curious how the local Fox affiliate, a Sinclair Communications-owned station, is going to tie this to Mayor Brandon Scott, the same way they pin every purse-snatching, Ds on surprise quizzes by 4th graders, and runners stranded at 3rd by the...

Anti-Russell Wilson situation. No matter how rich he gets, he still kinda gets it like a normal person.
