The Swamp

EnochRoot

There have been 100s of court storming and I don’t recall this ever happening. Stop overreacting. Show your work. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39596166/college-basketball-court-storming-caitlin-clark-kyle-filipowski-injuries https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/ne...

Not a win, presumably.

They were actually favored to win that game, too. Definitely smacks of negligence on the event / facilities mgmt.

a) i didn't know Whataburger was/is an actual real restaurant until sometime in the last year, maybe due to the Swamp. Thought it only existed in the mind of David Foster Wallace (Infinite Jest's "Whataburger tournament" or something) b) I accompanied a friend and his son to Shake Shack i...

I think if Event Management in these arenas take their job seriously, they can squelch court storming enough so that the teams can GTFO the court. But yeah, a half dozen security guards trying to protect the perimeter? No. That's not even half the # of guards you'd need. The correct # of guards and ...

EnochRoot

So…What the hell happened at Wake Forest yesterday? Footage showed only four security guards to maintain a perimeter around the court at the end of that game yesterday? What a shit show. People have been talking about it for years, but I think this is the incident that's going go change things. I w...

He should invite some more racists onto his podcast and bitch about the SNL crowd.

Fuck. Every one of these 8th AF guys was a redshirt.

True Detective S4 The buildup was OK enough, and the supernatural stuff was ‘eh’. The Wendigo vibes ala Dark Winds was a hit/miss. Maybe it was just too much. The cleaning crew going nuts and destroying all the research was an eyeroll for me. There’s zero chance they wouldn’t have left fingerprints ...

Saw The Blair Witch Project in the theater last night as part of a friend's "film club". I have always hated that movie because the only time I saw it was probably the worst movie-going experience of my life. We got there late so we were on the front row which is always awful, but even mo...

HOF Maryland Hoops coach Lefty Driesell, 92.

ETA didn’t see he got a thread.

UConn just beat the snot out of #4 ranked Marquette by 28 points, and their likely lottery pick, Stephon Castle only scored 3 points today. Their depth is hilarious.

EnochRoot

It's a good blend. Fruity. Herbal. Subtle pop. At under $40 I'd consider it a steal. Definitely makes me want to try the rye and then the bourbon that made this bourye.

EnochRoot

How is it? I've looked at that bottle many times. I have a new favorite Bourbon. New Riff Single Barrel. I really enjoyed their Rye, too (see upthread). Label says orange peel and black cherry, I get a bit of peach. It'd be great with BBQ. https://www.wineandcheeseplace.com/images/sites/wineandchee...

EnochRoot

So I thought I'd do something for the environment today, so I stopped off at the liquor store and bought some Lost Monarch, a blended, Redwood Empire Whiskey (it blends I think 60% of their straight rye whiskey, and 40% of their straight bourbon). Oh, and they plant a redwood for every bottle they s...

Guess I learned today that Jerry Sichting (1) joined the Celtics just after the 1985 finals and (2) is pronounced Cease-Sting and not Sitch-Ting. I guess I know him from basketball cards only. Remember when Topps basketball cards were perforated, three player cards? It was like that into the early ...

Without using MAGA-brain logic, what difference does this make negatively for a criminal defendant? Like normally, let’s say the DA isn’t banging anyone, she’d appoint the best prosecutor, right? But if she just appointed the guy she’s raw-dogging, he would by logic NOT be the best prosecutor in th...

Anyone replaced a garage door spring and pulley and metal cords? Guy wanted $950 and I can't do that. Bit worried about my hands and metal parts and tension.

If I’m Elias I see about making an offer for a mid-rotation arm like Michael Lorenzen, then if Bradish can actually be one of those guys who pitch effectively with a partially torn UCL (there are a few of them, but that’s still a big ask), and Means gets back, then consider moving Kremer to the pen ...

So the Black Crowes played last night at KLOS out in California. They have a new album out next month. They sound pretty freakin good.

I noticed when it was running last night that all the people washing the feet were white. Those having their feet washed were not. I'm sure there's a "cleanse the sinner" thing going on there somewhere. Nothing to do with theology. Young people are leaving the church in droves mainly due ...

I sent a congrats to a former coworker after LinkedIn told me it was his 4-year anniversary at Meta. He used to work for me as a developer at a small company where he was underpaid. We were chatting about how he's thinking of leaving. He casually mentioned that he's now making 6X what he was making...

EnochRoot

Every player understanding the salary cap would likely have more direct on-field impacts. No Sybian nailed it when he mentioned the disorienting nature of not knowing the rules can have a negative impact on your ability to win the game. Also it smacks of Shanahan NGAF enough to explain the rules be...

EnochRoot

I'm with Ched here. It sounds bad but I don't see how it matters if the coaches know and are doing the coinflip decision and play-calling. I think it matters in terms of organizational philosophy and continued buy-in of the moment. You know, understanding the rules of how to win the game. It’s defi...

Finally.

SF were a lot better than I realized after Baltimore beat the snot out of them a couple months ago.

Another garbage spot by the refs, but Mahomes runs for 20 anyway.

EnochRoot

Why wouldn’t Reid challenge that craptastic spot? Unless they saw a replay that showed Kelce was down before moving the ball forward (there wasn’t), you challenge that call and use the review as if you’re going to lose the spot.

Stupid.

EnochRoot

That was one of the worst balls I’ve ever seen Mahomes throw.

EnochRoot

LOL at that being grounding. Freakin receiver was right there.

Amir Abdul-Rahim has South Florida (can't say USF h/t Howard) doing good things this season in the American. They were down 13 at the break on the road at Rice, but he got them to reset their focus and they basically eviscerated the lead before 5 min had elapsed in the 2nd half. IMO he's going to be...

I didn’t realize Rudy Gay isn’t currently on an NBA roster. I would’ve seen the news had he retired.
