  1. Even the commentators were yelling at him. "Why don't you throw the ball? Throw the ball!" That was just one of 3-4 plays in a row where he had guys open or was facing pressure and tried to dance around instead of throw the fuckin ball. And not just one, the whole trio of commentators were doing a group verbal facepalm with that sequence. When he was pulled for the 2 minute drill, they showed him throwing a fit on the sidelines, and the commentators were like, "Yeah, well, do better."
  2. He was impressively terrible today. The stats are bad, but you have to see it to believe it. Dillon Gabriel is the Browns' franchise QB. Now pardon me while I go gargle bleach after praising a Sooner.
  3. Seen Tua sacked twice so far, and it seems like the Jags D is more like gently laying him to the ground rather than really punishing him. Like they know he's fragile and none of them want to be the guy who ends his career...
  4. I agree -- dunno how well the traditional broadcast showed, but I watched the skycast, and the skycam was literally dripping all over the field from the moisture; the ball and the field were damp and slippery, too. All 4 of those first half fumbles and at least two ISU incompletions were due to slippery ball/field.
  5. Shedeur was particularly awful today. I'm enjoying some Shedeurenfreude. In fact, back to back bad plays; Shedeur takes an awful sack leading to a fumble the Browns barely recover, followed by a punt to Stoops who then bobbles the ball and barely recovers in time to pin the Rams deep.
  6. I'm not gay but man Sam Ehlinger has the best ass in the NFL
  7. Feels like Avery Johnson has been KSU's QB forever, and he's only a Junior?!?! He still kinda sucks tho.
  8. Sam played really well today. Got a lot of snaps. Converted some tough downs with his legs and his arm. Showed the insane toughness, taking a huge hit while hitting a deep strike down the middle. INT was a tip, but that doesn't absolve him of making a poor throw/panicking in a blitz, but outside that play, he did great.
  9. counterpoint he made this happen: Sometimes the success of someone in stage or screen has as much to do with their nature off stage and screen than anything else. For example, your cello teacher will tell you never, ever to try to imitate Yo Yo Ma, because his technique is "terrible." While he's the most famous cellist alive, he's by no means the best. But everyone who's ever worked with him or met him will praise his kind and unegotistical nature, an extreme rarity for anyone at that level. Look at everyone in that video above. They are having a BLAST. And what makes a person a good talk show host/interviewer is, more than anything, how they make the guests feel and get them talking about themselves. Rick Beato needed a certain number of subscribers to get the interviews he wanted, but then in those interviews it's clear it's not just because of his subscriber base. Brian May tells him how he watches Beato's channel. Guys like Maynard James Keenan, famous for hating and avoiding interviews, not only do the interviews, they have enough of a good time that they come back for seconds. The guests LIGHT UP as he gets them talking about their favorite things. I don't follow Fallon much, but shit, man, I've seen the type, and I'll not begrudge him any of the success he's had.
  10. I just had a very, VERY minor surgery on my finger and I'm not gonna be able to do anything harder than typing for 3 weeks... so I'm calibrating the Goosby news roughly around that. I don't expect he'll play next week.
  11. Yeah, he looked... not good. Jaydon Blue had one impressive run. The couple other runs I saw, the OL did him no favors.
  12. No, IITYWYBAD is a reference to The Grapes of Wrath. And to Route 66 history.
  13. ohhhhhhhh I am learnin so much
  14. how about an interview with glyn johns, that seem good to you?
  15. or, try this, don't make em in the first place
  16. "Texas' influence destroyed our programs" -- former SEC blueboods 10 years from now
  17. wait what? they're chickening out?
  18. i tried watching the Pittsburgh/Carolina game tonight, and after a few minutes, realized I wasn't that desperate to watch football.
  19. I'll take "Posts that will never show up on TexAgs" for $100, Alex.
  20. Was really enjoying this album, and then I found a hidden obsession with... Fun facts about this song THE IMMORTALS was in fact Praga Khan and Olivier Adams of Lords of Acid fame (and LoA's popularity was how Midway came to reach out to them to do THIS album) Which makes this the second link to Belgium for OG Mortal Kombat, given that Johnny Cage was supposed to be/based on JCVD. But this particular song was only Olivier Adams; Khan had to go to a meeting with the label, so he fired up his Atari ST and did it himself. Dude, it was written on a fuckin' Atari ST, man. How cool is that Nobody realized until years later how big this song would be. Khan and Adams would occasionally receive faxes with charting info about Lords of Acid, but received no news on this. The "MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAT!" yell was by a Texan who did it for the TV advertisements, and also had no idea until years later how famous his yell would be. (Adams would later admit that it was that sample, that yell, that made the song.) Jonathan Oyama of VentureBeat once claimed that "Techno Syndrome" is based on "Twilight Zone" by 2 Unlimited, but It obviously isn't Adams had not heard that song prior to making this No lawsuit was ever even filed, nor complaint made It obviously is not, just very similar.
