Very cool, and staying in state to boot.

The Legacy of Kain series was good stuff all the way back on the first PlayStation.

Four of the depictions and two of the performers in that sketch are now no longer with us. Three of the performers if you want to include Victoria Jackson's mental stability.

ETA: Adjusted the count b/c I forget Edie Gorme died.

I just need to vent. The fact that Biden is 80 years old in a normal election would be a huge worry, and the NYT is doing its due diligence pointing it out, but when the opponent is only 4 years younger, in worse physical health, and dumb as a pile of fucking rocks, in addition to failing in his big...

This would seem like the easiest winning strategy for Dems. Put screenshots of this guy’s FB posts denying the Holocaust on giant billboards with a red background and stick them around the Research Triangle. Then do the same with his anti-Black posts and put them in Black neighborhoods in Charlotte ...

Jeez, I didn’t hear about the troubles (to say the least) Erik Kramer went though post-career, but reading that he’s somewhat on a better path now is hopeful.

Lemme see if I can remember the other ones. I’ll put it in spoiler if anyone else wants to try:

[+] spoiler: Dick Scobee
Ellison Onozuka
Ronald McNair
Judy? Resnick
Some guy Jarvik?
Don’t remember the other white guy.

Is that the one where Dizzy threw a 3-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader then Paul pitched a no-hitter in the nightcap?

I guess good teacher/overrated astronaut?

this is exactly how i first heard of him too - i even remember the book, was called "Baseball Players Do Amazing Things" :) like 10 different 3 page stories of, um, baseball players...doing.... Padres all-time HR leading, Nate Colbert https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/Na...

I genuinely hope that whenever Sinema is out in public someone yells at her that she could have protected the right to vote for Black Americans, yet chose not to. Fuck her straight to Hell.

I'm thinking Rodgers is more of a prick than a dork, but YMMV.

I don’t know how many teams this would make this claim, especially one that’s over 90 years old like the Eagles, but two of their top ten players all time are centers, including arguably its best all time. I believe 2 of the top 6 Steelers in PFR's Hall of Fame monitor score are centers (1st and 3r...

A few years back during the first pandemic summer I used to watch the shit out of the Stihl Timbersports championships while I was working. That stuff was great. There’s a LumberJill from Chadds Ford, PA (Philly suburbs) who’s the best in the world. Easy on the eyes too: https://www.instagram.com/p/...

… whoever signs Wilson will be getting a financial steal since he'll play for the vet minimum (Denver will pay the offset so there's no incentive for him to take anything more). he *could* be fun in a place like Atlanta. I would not understand the play in Las Vegas. that would feel a lot like the s...

I just booked a couple nights in downtown Cleveland, about 6 blocks from the waterfront/Rock n Roll HoF, so assuming I can get a sitter for my kittie-cats, I'll be there. The Guardians have a game that night, so I'll be able to check another ballpark off the list.

At my age I prefer when athletes go out on their own terms and with some gas left in the tank, so Jason Kelce’s retirement makes me happy overall as a sports fan, even if it’s a short-term knock on the team I root for. I don’t know how many teams this would make this claim, especially one that’s ove...

I think the cap hit is over two years but yeesh.

Good Lord. Sheffield should just get relegated right now. And I mean during halftime.

I don't know why Sybian quoted me, but sure. I can picture saying that.

And then that offseason, the Phillies traded defensive specialist Larry Bowa and some middling prospect for Ivan DeJesus. What, what was that prospect’s name? Ryan Sablesberg? Something like that.

The Ripken-Young-Trammell troika was the first core of power hitting shortstops, but I think Ernie Banks was probably the first true middle-order power threat. He played the first half of his career at SS, and put up 512 career bombs. Not too shabby.

Taking nothing away from Caitlin Clark, because what she was able to do in her career puts her down as the greatest women's gunner in NCAA history. But man, what Pete Maravich did was nuts. He averaged 43.8, 44.2, and 44.5 PPG in his three seasons at LSU. This is without a shot clock, no three-point...

In my neck of the woods we have an importer called Cento that cans San Marzanos. It’s the only kind I’ll use.

As an aside, my son asked me to teach him how to make homemade pasta, my gravy, and my parents’ pork meatballs this past week, and we’re going to take over the kitchen next time he’s down.

Great season. Anyway, after watching a couple videos and a quick wiki search, and having 40 years on and not wearing red-white-and-blue colored glasses, Zola Budd was not at fault at all. She was in front, and Mary Decker twice hit Budd's legs from behind. Too bad. She got a lot of undeserved shit f...

I wouldn't have recognized Zola Budd unless she was interfering with other runners.

I would simply go with the fact that these guys have been dead for centuries yet all of us recognize their names would indicate their level of memorability.

The exact quote on my email to Ryan:

We've had a prior discussion here regarding SuperSaad as well.

Sorry I didn't get to this past Monday I'll have to watch Miller's Crossing this weekend. Life got in the way.

Anyway, Barton Fink is up next. I don't remember being particularly enamored by it, but a rewatch would probably be worth it.

More importantly, we did not injure Lari Ketner slash Lari Ketner didn't try to draw contract from any of us.

Damn, D. You must’ve gotten all the West Oak Lane pussy back in the day.

Or maybe Salvadorans really need to get their vehicles registered all at the same time.

I just got Argentina-El Salvador at the Linc for me and my son (huge Messi fan) on 3/22. He chose that over WrestleMania. Cost was... more than advertised in DC.

I’m going to start this a little bit earlier than 9:30 as I got a long day tomorrow. This will be a reward for a day of suck that I’ve had today.

I didn’t get to it yet. But here’s a lukewarm take. Mikey Day sucks. Nobody is asking he play the straight man to level of Sudeikis or the incomparably versatile Hartman, but shit. When you say every sketch how weird this is with that irritating voice of his, it just blows the sketch. God he sucks.
