Yeah. Watching her at the end of the Louisville game last week, she was an annoying pest. She was a bit more subdued tonight, but, I mean, with back to back 40 point performances, she can pretty much do whatever she wants.

To give a little equal time to the women’s tourney, Caitlin Clark of Iowa just posted a 42/10/12 in their 97-83 Elite Eight victory, the first 40-point triple double by either gender in tourney history. She’s a fucking boss. Also first woman in history with 900 points and 300 assists in a season. I...

And then that Strawther shot. That's an all-time No, no, no, no, YES! Shot. It was a such a bad decision to shoot from that deep, but he made it, so all's well! In the post-game, Mark Few talked about how they called it the "Jay Wright" play...the same that Villanova ran to win the champi...

He probably deserves his own thread, but I got a text about eight hours ago that Willis Reed died and nobody has posted it yet so I'm just gonna drop it here.

Reaper

I thought we had a local news thread, but I couldn't find it. (Calling, Rass).

Anyway, found on Twitter so I'll put it here.

Is it that you don't listen hard or don't pay attention?

Same thing happened last May. Shirley took care of it then.

Huh. Let me see what that means.

I pushed play on the YouTube vid before I even read your paragraph and heard the same thing you hear. I mean, if they isolated just that sound, that's pretty impressive. I never would've come up with that on my own, but yes, it's totally there.

Is there a less Stubhub-y and more fan face value site for ticket selling? Due to "unforeseen events" (they added a lot of shows), I have 2 tickets to see a band in Philadelphia that I could now see in the city for less than the cost of traveling to Philadelphia. Craigslist was my go-to.....

Sometimes it's just not worth it. Even just coming off your rookie contract at age 25. Thought he'd get at least $20M guaranteed. Good on you, Nasir.

We've lost a lot of athletes/coaches over the last week. Here's a catch-up: Jesus Alou , 80. One-third of the famous Alou outfield. Bud Grant , 95. Hall of Fame coach known for his time leading the Purple People Eaters defense. Felton Spencer , 55. Former Louisville standout and No. 6 overall pick b...

Watched Dick Tracy and Citizen Kane over the last week or so. The nostalgia I had for Dick Tracy made me want to watch it again. And holy shit does it suck. How can a cast like that just fail miserably in a movie? Warren Beatty keeps holding on to those rights though, so that no one else can improv...

It's gonna hurt his draft stock for sure (and this guy already screams Albert Haynesworth) but is there really going to be severe criminal punishments for this? I don't think he's going to do any jail time at this point. I don't think he does jail time either. And if I remember correctly, the NFL p...

After Foo Fighters got canceled last year with Hawkins' death, I never found a replacement concert to go to last year. Well, finally trying again for this summer. Just secured tickets for Head & the Heart + Revivalists at the Skyline Stage at the Mann in July.

Hit 45 at the end of last year so the appointment was just made. Their first opening was May 30th, which is the day after Memorial Day. Knowing from this thread all that goes into a colonoscopy, I respectfully declined "so I didn't have to take another day off from work that week" but thou...

It wouldn't surprise me if Bronto snagged a Hall of Famer wife. I had him pegged as more a Ford Frick type. Was Ford Frick a looker? Most assuredly not, but I think Bronto's best chance at the hall of fame might be in the sportswriting wing. I assume there's a NASCAR analogy I don't know. Squier-Hall

Welcome, Tank! I think Reaper joined after a long period of lurkerdom. Iirc, Reaper was here quite awhile ago, went dormant, then rejoined us. I think he also originally had a different handle.
