    Anwar knew this tweet would get engagement. The first scrimmage was closed to the media and public too.

    This is a "show me" level event. People here can shriek and whine over their perception that that is wildly stupid or irresponsible or herrrrrrrrderrrrrrrfuckingBMDZ pushing poor SLS around!!! OMGZ!!! and they'll all be wrong. This is the way. Sarkisian knows as much. Ewers and/or Banks need to visibly involved with why there should be optimism with this season and with NIL.

     

    So now they get Ewers, Banks, and either Campbell or Hutson to see with the 1s today.

    Not an Anwar fan, but now that he's pointing out the same thing weeks later, I don't know how we can jump down his throat for it. 

  2. The extra episode was fantastic. I was wondering how they would do the third book since it's just a collection of disparate fables, and doing a bonus episode is a smart way to do a couple of them.

    Also it seemed like the most frame-for-frame copy of the comics other than episode 6.

    You seem deliberately obtuse.

    Nothing you listed above has any bearing on my original comments. 

    I never mentioned transgender characters, just Lucienne being an old white man,  but now a young black female. He was never transgender. Or black. Like casting Zendaya as Batmans Alfred. Jarring and makes zero sense.

    Death is a pale, goth white girl, who has also now been swapped for a black chick. Death was not race/gender fluid in the books.

    All of this shit is basic race/gender politics and virtue signaling ruining good stories (WoT, too many recent films to list).

     

     

    The show is pretty damn faithful to the comics. Some scenes are word for word.  Episode 6 in particular was one of the best adaptations I've seen.

    Sorry you don't like black people man.

    The woke casting is fucking stupid and annoying. Why do you need to replace an old white male character with a young female black chick? 

    And STFU if you're one of progressive leftists who think they own this site, because I'm sure all of you would be just fine with casting Zendaya as Alfred in the next Batman reboot.

    The original graphic novel had a transgender character. It also portrayed Desire as genderless.

    In one volume, Dream manifests as a black man who falls in love with a woman in ancient times.  Characters appearances change all the time in the comics depending on the time period and location.

    The person who wrote the graphic novel was also one of the show runners.

    Also, one character was changed to a female because Netflix didn't have the rights to John Constantine.

    There is nothing at all to be angry about.

  5. A lot of talk about the girl being hateable but that dude working on donuts while everyone else is freaking out working their ass off? After being told explicitly to work on prep?  Way worse imo.

    But to be fair that character is a lot less realistic and lacks anything resembling self awareness.

  6. Just got back from a trip there.  I went to London, Liverpool, and Edinburg in 11 days.  London was fun but probably my least favorite of the three. Everything was cool but I honestly felt like after the 4th day I was kind of done with it.  Keep in mind it was historically hot so that might affect my opinion.

    Liverpool was surprisingly really cool and a fun city to grab a drink in. The people there are just super nice and as soon as they hear your accent, they want to talk. My affection for The Beatles and Liverpool FC probably make me like it more than some.

    Edinburg is great and we should have spent more time there.  Every single person I met in the way up told me I should go to Glasgow and insisted Glasgow was more fun. Just relaying that.

  7. Leaving Edinburg right now. Heading to London where it's about to be 101 degrees somehow.

    Namaste Katmando had really good poppadoms and dumplings. Didn't get to spend much time there because I spent Saturday at the Open. Would love to go back soon.

    I haven’t been to Bearded Lady since they moved. Went twice and was disappointed both times. But I have now had two different people whose opinion I trust tell me how good it was in the last month. Anyone not named Texzilla care to confirm or kill that notion?

    I got brunch there a few months ago and everything was cold. They have some grilled cheese of the month thing though and apparently that's been good.

  9. It seems like Brunson really wants to be the guy controlling the offense. Kevin O'Connor mentioned Brunson slipped said something to that effect to him earlier this season and his dad basically came out and said it.

    On the one hand I get it. Who wouldn't want to be the man?

    On the other hand it gives me big Devin Harris vibes. Have fun for a season but your game isn't multifaceted and the league will figure you out real quick if a team is depending on you too much.

    anybody been to or have thoughts on Funky Picnic?  didn't see anything when i searched. thinking of going there with a big group in a few weeks.  looks really cool.

    Went there last week. They played exclusively early 2000's emo punk, had decent beers, pretty bad wings, and bad service.

    Fort Brewery, Hopfusion better spots for a group hangout.

    Also an option.  Feta would just be a weird choice for those contexts.  And neither cotija or queso fresco has a particularly strong smell.  Really am curious about the places he's talking about, and what they actually used.

    I mean, I love feta cheese too, in the proper context.

    Fuzzys for sure uses feta on tacos.

  12. Feta cheese smells (and I can only assume tastes) like cat vomit and all these Texas bbq and Mexican joints putting it on beans and tacos to seem impressive should just stop already.

  13. Hurtado's in Arlington. Really solid. Ribs and sausage better than the brisket. Buddy said there's one opening in Pilot Point today.

    There was basically no line and they were good at taking orders and getting food out fast.

    Everyone (including me) gets excited by drafts but it's easy to forget the NBA draft in particular is almost all 19 year olds who aren't going to really peak for another 7-9 years.  Sure, you can tell in the first year or two if they can play but the upside is so far out, it's almost a crap shoot on who will be great and who will be good.

    In baseball maybe?

    Scottie Barnes helped elevate Toronto to a top 5 record in year one. Evan Mobley completely transformed Cleveland in his first year. 

    Luka was immediately the best player on his team and took them to the playoffs in year 2. MVP candidate by year 3.

  15. I spent 3 months wanting the Mavs to take Dennis Smith Jr and was stoked when we got him.

    On the other hand, I wanted Luka for like a year before the draft.

    Add that up together and I could still do better than any Sacramento GM.
