The Swamp

Another one that I saw many years ago, but left little impression on me. I just remember Paul Newman, Tim Robbins, and I think hula hoops? And lots of old timey newsman/movie star type talking.

The Twitter explosion of "I watched some 90s games and it proved that Jordan sucked" was wild the last week.

Tottenham fans had a stress free day as Spurs tore Villa to shreds today. Any team that features filthy Matty Cash and that asshole keeper Martinez is already a bit gross, but check out Captain John McGinn's butchering of Destiny Udogie. Fuck that team. It wasn't until checking the results of that ...

I watched Old Boy with my son the other night. The original Korean one, not the Spike Lee remake. I had seen it once about 10 years ago. What a great, fucked up movie. It sort of defies categorization, and I won't say much about it to avoid spoiling any of it. But if you haven't seen it, I suggest c...

Yeah, they aren't up to historic Syracuse levels yet, but Boeheim didn't leave him much (other than Mintz, who's quite good). The last two teams were pretty poor and clearly only built around the idea of getting the ball to his son(s). I hope Autry pans out, because the ACC's coaching talent pool ha...

Fortunately for Syracuse, it seems likes Red Autry has gotten off to a pretty good start. Not great, but solid (and better than last year under Boeheim).

This was shared in the MIB "Raven" newsletter this morning...author John Green's trip to AFC Wimbledon (he's a part owner) for their match against Milton Keynes. Great stuff... https://youtu.be/yA7W1MmQH58?si=QAOpjfTQYVDQq19y Coincidentally I was in Wimbledon that rainy Saturday, having s...

Holy shit. I wasn't aware of his story either. Incredible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Kramer

This seems like an appropriate thread for an interesting article about why jalapeño peppers aren’t very hot anymore.

Man, I really thought she had a late run in her.

Strange spam. Maybe just testing if they can create an account an post? Mr. Elliott posted that riveting PGA update from an IP address in Vietnam.

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...

And to be completely fair to UVa, not having their top faceoff guy played a major factor on Saturday. They just couldn't get anything going momentum-wise, and when they did start to get hot the Jays' keeper shut them down. He was incredible in the 2nd half. I didn't see the game, but that's what I ...

While the Sierras are getting several feet of snow, apparently this could be the first year in recorded weather history (since late 1800s) with no measurable snow all year in the Triangle. Not even a trace amount.

Watched killers of the flower moon. I think it fell apart in the last 30 or so. Coincidentally, I watched it yesterday too (on a plane). Pretty depressing story, all in all. I didn't have the same thought about the last 30 minutes, but in hindsight, it does seem like they kind of rushed through the...

Of course, I googled for a video to show more explicitly how to do that and immediately found this video -

Gotta love exercise "science." There's no consensus on anything.

Just read about this guy - Next GOP Nominee For Governor of North Carolina There was the time he called school shooting survivors “media prosti-tots” for advocating for gun-control policies.

I'm curious what new think you learned from this story. That calling in bomb threats is a crime?

One of the stretches he has me do is very similar to that piriformis stretch. For the foam roller, how big in diameter do you use? I have a couple in the house that my son uses, and their actually not really soft (despite the "foam" name) and are fairly wide in diameter. Maybe 6-7 inches?

Watched Miller's Crossing last night. I hadn't remembered how much of a noir film it is. I was expecting more typical modern gangster movie (like Scorsese), but it's more like an old Hollywood gangster movie. They stepped up from Blood Simple with a much more complex movie, but a lot of the same ton...

Had a Zoom interview yesterday and I struggled not to crack up at the interviewer several times. He looked like a Mike Myers character, maybe Myers doing an over-the-top impression of Oliver Platt with a giant pompadour and Morty Seinfeld's glasses. He spoke a little slow and loud, and if I couldn'...

Meaning you're not sure if it's meat? Or that someone else might think shrimp isn't meat?

I get it once a year or so. Usually just goes away after a couple weeks, never did anything for it other than contorting in whatever way brings temporary relief. Guy I play tennis with tried everything and eventually had to have surgery. I didn't ask specifics, but he is finally back to playing and...

do you have a foam roller yes have you been using it? not suggesting it'll be a cure all by any means, but some serious foam rolling can make a world of difference, especially if you can figure out the area where it's triggering What exactly am I supposed to be rolling? This isn't a muscular issue....

Yeah, I watched it once many years ago. Don't really remember it, but I remember that it was weird and didn't really do it for me at the time. I hadn't yet developed my love for the Coen brothers yet (other than Raising Arizona) though, so maybe another try will be better. BTW, I'm gonna try to catc...

Amazing stuff. Love that the Super Bowl went down to the last question. Tough last question to score on though.

I was hoping Saban would be a Jordan.

yes

I got a guy I play tennis with that does body work and skeletal adjustments. Not a chiropractor...he was a PT in Germany and was the trainer for a pro soccer team out there, but unfortunately he's not licensed here. Nonetheless, German Miyagi gets in there and moves around what ever has has to and ...

That's brilliant.

Agree with this. Counterpoint. Does the USA (or the world) have the ability to ever produce Shaq again? I refuse to believe there is no place on an NBA Finals team for diesel. I suspect that we'll see a Shaq-like big man at some point in the near future. As teams go smaller/skinnier someone with tr...

I'd recommend going to a chiropractor and see if they have a spinal decompression machine. If they do and it helps, then you might consider getting an inversion table and using that at home. The former superintendent at the golf course where I work kept an inversion table in the shop and let us use...

[Thread topic to be read aloud like Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon] This sucks. I started having sciatica pain shooting down my right leg around the lat November. I've had it before here and there, but it usually went away after a short while. Not this time. Since I had a ski trip planned for late D...

I saw this on Reddit a couple of days ago:

I think forfeiting a game is too severe. And it would complicate rankings, records, etc. A large fine for the home team ought to do it. Arenas already have a ton of ushers and security. They can use them better and/or hire more to handle the security. Some arenas already handle this properly. I know...

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...
