  1. And just like that, NZ is back in front. 2-1. Some really sloppy defending from Guinea there
  2. Guinea just equalized from long range. 1-1
  3. I wouldn't kick this analyst gal out of bed
  4. Japan's coach should tell his players to stop letting the NZ guys just run right past them.
  5. NZ seems good at this
  6. Japan tried to onside kick the opening kickoff and New Zealand damn near returned it for a touchdown. This one could get ugly.
  7. wait did we just play for a tie on purpose? seems like kind of a bitch move at the end there
  8. @immamac so we're doing individual event threads?
  9. How are you watching USA? All I see on Peacock is Uruguay-Fiji right now. I don't know the first thing about rugby but I think Fiji is skullfucking Uruguay.
  10. I've been doing Sling the last few football seasons. It's $55/mo for everything, which gets you all the ESPNs and Fox Sports. Or if you're really cheap, you can pay $40 for one package or another and switch back and forth week to week depending on what channel has better games.
  11. USA vs France men's soccer at 2:00 pm central today Sorry boss, here goes my productivity for the month
  12. The Trump Campaign/GOP certainly know that the campaign finance stuff is bullshit. They’re not challenging it to win and prevent her from getting the money. It’s just to plant the seeds for the next conspiracy theory. Y’all should all know how this works by now.
  13. Wowzers
  14. “DEI” must be the new “woke”. Every damn thing is DEI all of a sudden.
  15. Is this the thread for speculation on running mate picks? NYT is pushing Andy Beshear, Mark Kelly, Roy Cooper, JB Pritzker, and Josh Shapiro.
  16. Maximo, the new Mexican place in West U. Love the concept, love the vibe, food was just ok though. Killer tequila list. I’d be open to trying it again but they really need to come correct the 2nd time. My wife said she thought it’s the Local Foods people.
  17. I was surprised that Gerry didn’t list Rogers among the flip targets. Seems like a guy we would stay on.
  18. Enphase's batteries specifically can be charged with a generator, according to their website. That would be a pretty nice setup if you could use a quiet little inverter generator to keep them topped up.
  19. So I had the bright idea of buying enough batteries (Tesla or otherwise) to last me through a full day at a time, and signing up for a "free nights" electricity plan and basically never paying for electricity. Added bonus would be the ability to strictly ration and make it through a few days in the event of an outage, or longer with the help of a small generator. I can't get the math to work out, though. At the peak of the summer, my house uses something in the range of 50-60 kWh per 24 hour period. So I'd need at least 3, probably 4 Tesla batteries. At roughly $9k a pop, it's way too expensive. I guess the batteries only make any sort of sense if you also have solar? Does anyone here have batteries without solar?
  20. LSU’s staff is full of recruiting badasses.
  21. I got sucked into watching The Matrix last night, even though I've probably seen it 20 times. It still holds up 25 years later (!). Truly one of the best action movies of all time.
  22. 6 weeks from diagnosis to death. Brutal…
  23. I'm wasting time on my lunch break so I just looked up the top 20 winningest MLB managers of all time. Out of those 20, regarding their playing careers, there are: 1 legit star (Joe Torre) 5 solid regulars (John McGraw, Dusty Baker, Casey Stengel, Lou Piniella, Mike Scioscia) 11 bums (Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, Bobby Cox, Sparky Anderson, Bucky Harris, Bruce Bochy, Walter Alston [1 career PA], Leo Durocher, Terry Francona, Gene Mauch, Bill McKechnie, 3 that never played in the majors (Joe McCarthy, Jim Leyland, Buck Showalter)
  24. This isn't the right thread for this, but why is it so common for soccer managers to have been great players (e.g., Henry, Vieira, Zidane, etc)? That seems pretty rare in the major American sports. Usually the successful managers in baseball, football, and basketball were more fringe-type players.
  25. A piece of that tip just got me O'Dell
