The Swamp

Goalie's fault or defender's? I'm gonna say about 60/40 the defender's fault for playing a ball like that back to his keeper.

I'll just drop this nugget here. I'm not slagging on the South, but there's an entire generation (probably more like 3) that were raised in these types of schools. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/20/nikki-haley-high-school-racism-education/ And it's not just the south and blacks. Ou...

To play devil's advocate here, the study of history, particularly in a high school US History class, by necessity has to skip or elide a lot of events. I mean, you're often going to cover 50 or more years in a couple of pages in a book. A lot of shit happens all the time! For example, how many of yo...

We watched the whole (I think) Eyes on the Prize documentary in US History when I was in high school. It was so good and eye-opening. In hindsight, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those stories had featured parents of some of rich southern white kids I went to school with. If not directly, then i...

He was a total bad ass. Started out in what would be today's MMA on the Kickboxing/Full Contact tour. Like you said, not an elite pro boxer, but he took down some legit dudes. I think his main skill was not getting knocked out. If I remember, Larry Holmes beat him to an absolute pulp, but he wouldn...

Just remembered another one of my favorite quotes that I break out in life when the context is right. "We felt the institution no longer had anything to offer us."

5. And their change in tone from their first one. For a movie where a guy gets grenaded, it’s really kind-hearted. The fact that they can change genres basically at will. What talent. That's a great point. Other than the crime subplot, these two movies couldn't be more different. That's a hell of a...

Probably the tightest intro/backstory sequence of any movie. Could teach a whole film class on that alone. Absolutely. The pre-credits stuff with Hi and Cage's narration is just incredible. When the credits finally kick in - it's probably more than 10 minutes into the movie - it just cracks you up ...

I typically think of an artist I want to listen to and then go through their albums in sequence.

If I need a longer, more random playlist, I create a radio station based off an artist. I have a few of those set to download on my phone so I always have music if I'm offline.

So, I just finished my rewatch. Still just a brilliant movie. I've seen it many, many times and I love it every time. Watching again, I realized that among the many great lines ("her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase"), there are a couple that I regularly use....

If you dont' have JustWatch installed or first stop (https://www.justwatch.com/) for where to watch stuff you are making a mistake. Tells you what services you can watch most stuff on. Currently streaming via youtube (subscription), hoopa, directv, starz, appleTV Google search has that info as well...

I've had Spotify Family for several years now. Share it with my boys (and technically my wife, but she doesn't use it). Never really shopped around. I mostly like Spotify.

I'd be curious to see your top 5 is RA isn't in it.

Any of you Frogs every come across Worldle? https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/

I'm not sure it's included for free in any streaming services. At least not ones I have. It's $4 on Amazon Prime though.

Damn, that was fast!

That Defector piece was good. Hard to believe a coach who had 30 players drafted by the NBA never advanced a team past the sweet 16. Yeah, that definitely affected his national reputation and lasting impact. In fairness, some of his best teams played in the days of only one bid and he was in the AC...

Still dead

The acc coaches of that generation were great. Cremins, Terry Holland, all 3 in research triangle. I just read (listened to) Feinstein's book about K, Smith, and Jimmy V. It was a great read, especially since V and K joined the ACC right around the time I was getting into it (the Sampson years). Th...

Am I the only Crasher to miss himself as a correct answer? I like to think I'll hold that honor for quite a while. For the record I was pretty certain I was a correct answer but thought rballer was correct and would be guessed less. Think I overestimated my popularity. Yeah, I kind of figured the s...

One of the all-time great characters in college basketball. Hell, in American sports overall. While he didn't always run the most ethical of programs (e.g. Herman Veal and the Bias fallout), he was a very good coach and he brought an excitement and humor that the ACC has lacked since he left.

It just really pisses me off that she would do that. She KNOWS this is the biggest case she'll ever handle in her life and the entire world's media is going to cover it, especially if she fucks up even a little. And despite all of that, she had to appoint her boyfriend. What an idiot.

That's the thing. Fox and their ilk have successfully turned politics so partisan that a true follower believes 100% of the things their party leaders (or Tucker Carlson) believe. If they like Putin and Russia, then I like Putin and Russia! Or even worse, "if the [Dems/Liberals/Elite] hate Put...

Never said he couldn't hit them. But Marion's shot was just fugly. It amazed me whenever it went in (which it did at a surprisingly good clip).

Still, would somebody please post a vid of this mans jumper.

Loved the shirtless pic of him. Looked like he was wearing a rug.

Facebook's got nothing on Nextdoor. Chem trails over Cary. WHY, Who pays for this, What is composition of these white trails?? Anyone know anything about this?? This is over Life Time Fitness That was followed by 5 pictures of "chemtrails" in a blue sky - yes the same things you can see in...

I'm pretty damn sure there are other reasons. Russia has been working to get leverage on American politicians (and probably media) for decades. I'm sure their work has borne fruit.

I mean they're not wrong.

I was thinking Eddie Johnson.

The two OF pictures killed me. In the background of the first is a large framed picture of her book with "Rachel Dolezal" easily read. And then in the second, I think there's a large picture of a black Santa Claus.

She's amazing.

Well, I thought this was a good idea. It seems like not a lot of folks agreed.

Disclaimer that I'm not a cop but ... what was the 2nd cop shooting at? Like is protocol really to just start blasting away in a residential neighborhood in the same direction your friend is? She saw the first cop shooting at the car. And I think he also said it was the car. Of course, if you see h...

Congrats, Dave! Caity's a keeper.

I don't really blame the second cop. The first guy screams both "shots fired!" and "I'm hit!" And then he's flopping all over the ground, unloading his clip and hiding behind a car. Who wouldn't assume there was some real danger? Apparently that dude quit the force after. Thankfu...

13 weeks of severance is pretty sweet though. You even have a chance to double dip for a while if you land something soon.

Shit. Good luck, man.

My family got mad at me for not liking the Mission Impossible "villain" of an evil, all-powerful AI. It crossed my suspension of disbelief line, but obviously not theirs. It struck me as written by people who don't really understand computers (which isn't unusual).
