  1. Just because they have 24 teams in the field doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Have you ever seen some of the first round games? I don’t think lopsided blowouts in empty stadiums qualifies as “good enough.” I hate the argument that because the NFL does it or that lower divisions do it, that’s the way it ought to be. I disagree. That doesn’t follow. The playoff is too big now. There should be fewer teams, not more. (Same with the NCAA basketball tournament but that’s for another thread.)
  2. And about giving a playoff berth to an unqualified 3-loss team.
  3. First album I bought with my own money: Sgt. Pepper’s. The first CD’s I bought were of albums I either already owned on vinyl like Rush 2112 or my brother did like Pink Floyd The Wall. The first CD of new music I bought was Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. The Beatles catalog hadn’t been released on CD yet at that time. I bought all of those as soon as I could when they were released. First cassette is tough. I never bought many albums on cassette. It wasn’t until my hand-me-down ‘73 Impala broke down and my dad gave me his old ‘79 LeBaron as a replacement. It had a tape deck. It might have been Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. It might have been Heartbeat City by The Cars. My first Grateful Dead bootleg tapes I ever received were of Cornell 5/8/77 which were gifted to me by a very generous local head named Jeff and I’ll be forever grateful to him for that. Download? I’ve never paid money for a digital download. They used to allow downloads of Grateful Dead soundboards at archive.org and it’s very likely that my first download was of that same 5/8/77 show from Barton Hall. I’ve paid it forward by gifting numerous CD copies of that show. I still have the SHN’s on disc but it’s been made into an official vault release now. That Scarlet > Fire to open the 2nd set is such a banger and is as smooth a transition from one song into the next as I’ve ever heard. I’ve never owned an 8-track tape but my family did. I can’t even recall which they were. My parents may have had the Greatest Hits by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass on 8-track (one of the only decent albums they owned along with the vinyl LP of the soundtrack to West Side Story). My brother may have had Hair of the Dog by Nazareth. I can’t be certain. He went through a little 8-track phase but I don’t recall much of it being all that great.
  4. Notre Dame would’ve put up more of a fight. Bama had no business being in the playoff. We can debate the former, I think the latter is indisputable.
  5. Randy VanWarmer solo acoustic Just When I Needed You Most. From 1980. Live, simple, not lip synced to the slick, produced single.

    RIP
  7. I don’t think it’s that. I think they just don’t want you to know that at best it doesn’t bother them, and at worst it actually appeals to them.
  8. I don’t know. It was the Sunday between Xmas and NYE. All the stories were repeats. Weren’t they all booze related? Probably had that scheduled for months and how many Americans aware of a sluggish bourbon business? I think we could make a good argument for coincidence (coincidental with the holiday season). The recent Trump-friendly episode was more of an indictment of their journalistic ethos.
  9. Joe should’ve given him a title, an office, and a budget like Trump gave to Kushner.
  10. They’re fucked.
  11. C’mon, Tech. Don’t go cold now. Wtf?
  12. Under bettors are loving this 2nd half so far.
  13. “Good discernment.”
  14. Bad spot. He caught it a yd deeper than that.
  15. You didn’t seriously run that ball out of the end zone to the 2 yd line, did you? Dumbass.
  16. Regurgitated the ball?
  17. Oh, it’s Mark Jones. Yeah, he’s a moron.
  18. “Sovereignty over the offense?”
  19. Well that’s kind of huge.
  20. I thought it looked like the ball was tipped.
  21. I like how both teams have sprinkles on their helmet stripes.
