The Swamp

Wow...Everton got completely screwed. Not only did the equalizer come at 7:53 in stoppage time, but Terry was totally offsides. Yeah, I can imagine Everton fans being pissed that. On the other hand, it was a bang-bang play and in real-time it wasn't initially obvious who the last header came off of...

How about this adorable photo of a kangaroo cuddling his fallen mate, perhaps so she can see her child one last time? https://regmedia.co.uk/2016/01/15/kangaroo_love.jpg Or is that what's happening? But the Australian Museum quickly weighed in with another interpretation of the image, with principal...

I was close to the time limit on that (in my head), but pulled it out.

Nobody asked, but I thought Shazier's hit should have been a penalty. I don't think he was head-hunting and generally I hate that they flag guys for hits against a moving target where their helmets collide ... but he had his head down and lead with it. They've been teaching for years now to see what...

I must have missed the outrage from Steelers fans and Peter King et al when Mitchell knocked AJ Green out of the playoffs with same hit in week 17 last year (shoulder to Green's head). And when Mitchell put Eifert out for 3 weeks back in December. Is every hit to the head exactly the same? Apparent...

That does look very intriguing. Cloverfield meets Lost ? BTW, I watched The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly on Amazon Prime the other day. Somehow I had managed to have never seen that movie. I thought that I had, or at least a lot of it, but apparently not. All in all, I liked it, but it wasn't as good...

Hey! Fuck off.
Don't worry, it works for Steelers fans, too.

Well that's different.

Yeah, I certainly didn't mean to say Kawhi sucks or anything. I'd certainly take him over Harden, for example. I also love defense as well and hate how it's so often overlooked when rating players, even with advanced metrics. That said, individual defense is a very different thing than individual of...

After beating the Cavs tonight, the Spurs have joined Golden State in the on pace for 70 wins club. Kawhi Leonard has become an absolute monster. He's probably a top-5 player in the league right now, and maybe even top-3. Let's not get carried away. If LeBron and Curry are the clear 1-2, you'd cons...

Got the bunnies, missed the island.

Keep in mind that unlike American sports, the best EPL teams tend to have all of the best players. There's no salary cap (that I'm aware of) or draft. When someone does well in a smaller club, the big boys snatch him up. So, while that may seem uncool, it does usually mean that the big clubs (ManU, ...

Yeah, that's shitty.

Eddie Murray for the switch-hitting one?

I think I'd rather watch the Jack Black version (which was based on real life which was based on a movie).

I missed ljam's Jeopardy appearance! Anywhere I can see it online? Not here yet (they're a couple days behind) but it should show up. Yeah, I found that one, but I'm impatient! It's really surprising to me that there's no official way to watch Jeopardy! online. I get why they don't want the most re...

I don't think there's any way that outstanding offensive design could/should result in a player being that open at that level of football. High school, maybe, but not high D-1. Someone (or two) fucked up.

Yeah, the ACC has some of that weird scheduling too. The reason is TV. They try to move as many of the marquee games as they can into February and March. That's when more of the country is paying attention to college basketball instead of football. Kind of stupid, I think, but whatever. BTW, a huge ...

I was pretty surprised to hear last night that the St. Louis Rams had a total of 4 winning seasons in 21 years in St. Louis. Four! And that's with The Greatest Show on Turf team that went to two Super Bowls. I mean, I knew the Rams had some lean years in there, but I never would have guessed only 4 ...

Were there seriously no other posts about the game last night? I love this place. I got sucked into the 'Film Room' feed, with four highly regarded coaches (and Will Muschamp) discussing the game on a wide screen that showed the full field. It was more entertaining than any football game I've watch...

Ok, don't think me unappreciative the the thing under my name says 'the dude'. That is very cool. But, something I feel strongly about (and it causes me to behave very un-dude-like.) I. want. to. be. Karl. Hungus. Because, I come to fix the cable, ya? Don't say I never did anything for you. http://...

Hey kids, you know that if you don't brush, you'll get a cavity, right? Want to know how the dentist deals with cavities?

I actually read this comment just as that song started up on Spotify. Great timing, great song.

Yeah, so this must just be a common aspect of big celebrations, or maybe just New Years celebrations in that region. That makes a lot more sense than these guys all planning this ahead of time. I don't know about you, but as a foreigner, I'd be pretty wary of pissing off German authorities. I bet a ...

I'll admit I was never a huge Bowie music fan. A bit of his old stuff, I like a lot, like Space Oddity and his Spiders of Mars stuff, but a lot of the crap he bought out in the 80s (e.g. Let's Dance) just sucked. But the dude was very cool and and very unique. Had to respect him for that.

I deleted that account.

I haven't seen the show, but you can't go wrong with the movie. It's an all-time great.

In all honesty, I hate that this game is ending this way.

That was one of the dirtiest hits I've ever seen. And now the Bengals with another one - Pac Man Jones. Of course.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

It's amazing to me that this large group of men felt comfortable enough to do this. They are new the country, they know their presence is controversial, they stand out physically and culturally, and they don't speak the language (at least not well). And yet they decided to get together for a massive...

I had no idea on that one.

And Blink-182 is shit?

I always thought that This Girl is on Fire song was by Katy Perry. I've learned something today.

I should say that I liked Smash and Ixnay on the Hombre a lot. After that, they went too cheesy (e.g. Pretty Fly for a White Guy).

Call me no-taste, but I like The Offspring, Blink-182, and STP. I have albums by all of them. I'm kinda a sucker for pop punk (I'm not including STP in that genre).
