    Also, Milan to Turin is 95 miles and 3+ hours in a car, but if you take the train, these guys could go to dinner together a couple times a week, no big deal.

    Maybe I will hold off canceling that Paramount+ subscription.
  3. Larry David was obviously a fan of German tennis sponsors.

    Just as long as he stays away from the Premier League for another year or two, I’ll be happy. He’s developing nicely. He’s 20. He needs to play against lower level competition and do it regularly. I don’t even think that he is ready for the French Ligue 1, much less the other leagues in the Top 5. I was listening to a podcast in the last 3 days that mentioned that when asked about his future while in Vegas for the Nations League, Timo Weah said that he sees his future at the club level as a Wing Back. 👀 When I heard that, I immediately thought of Juventus’ Juan Cuadrado (Colombia WB with the #11 kit). I knew that Cuadrado was getting old (Wiki says he just turned 34), but he was always in on the attack when I watched Juventus, so I thought that he was the right forward in a 4-3-3 or a RW in a 3-5-2, or whatever Juve plays. Then just now, I read the posts saying that Weah is going to Juve and I’m psyched. This is a perfect move for Weah. The 2023/24 year will be a good learning/transition year and then in the 2024/25 season, the position will be Weah’s, Cuadrado will leave, and Juve will bring in Weah’s backup. By the second half of this season, I would expect Weah to start more often than Cuadrado.
  5. I sent this IG clip to a Roman girl I know who now lives in Milan. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrjDkaTJ7rg/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== She said: “Ahahahahahahahahahah that’s so true”
  6. Do not rail on the Frenchies’ snails 🐌! They’re fucking delicious! Also… The normally steely pseudo-Italian from Tyrol, Yannick Sinner, quite like a bitch this morning.
  7. I’m not sure if I know anyone who got a ring for UT graduation. The high school I went to, people got the signet ring that had the crest stamped on top, because the school was/is kind of prestigious. (No one wore the ring except for maybe a year later at graduation. The sister-school has a whole Ring Day ceremony near the end of the girls’ junior year and getting your ring is a big deal. A lot of girls will wear their mom’s or grandmother’s ring if they are a legacy. Girls from this prestigious all-girls private school that is over 100 years old are the only people besides aggies who I know of who wear a school ring. (Maybe football lettermen where their T ring, don’t know any.) I wear an Apple Watch, because it measures my steps, my pulse, calories burned, but especially because it helps me find my cell phone. I’m not married, so that is the only “jewelry” I wear. aggies are regrded.
  8. Buy the kid a pair of adidas and then get his ass to Austin.
  9. I saw part of one. Either the 2nd or 3rd, I think. My Argentine girlfriend wanted to watch it at her place and after a bit I either went to take a nap or I distracted her into having sex, because I know that I didn’t watch more than about 20 minutes and I know that I had never seen this scene. I didn’t even know that it existed until I typed in “Twilight” in the YouTube and “Twilight baseball scene” was one of the pre-fill options.

  11. [Napoleon googles “Dooney & Bourke” to find out what kind of liquor it is… …discovers that it is not a liquor… and then wonders if “Spirit” is a category of adult beverages or something else.]

    This person has it right. These 6 should NOT be on this team. Busio also isn’t deserving right now. Ferreira shouldn’t play the #9. He and Mihailovic should share time at the #8/#10 that Gio played in the Nations League. This should be an Under 26 & Olympic squad mixed together. This is a wasted opportunity (again) by US Soccer.

    I was when I graduated from UT, but for not very many years after that. Gregg was good at bonding with the kids. That’s part of why John Brooks was removed from the selections… because he was poisoning CP. The press conference after Brooks’ last game, CP said that we don’t have a Plan B when Plan A isn’t working. There are stories of Brooks dismissing Gregg’s instruction from the sideline and he seemed to not give full effort in the match. It was an early World Cup qualifier on the road in Central America. Gregg’s tactics, player selection, and experimental lineups early in qualifying frequently sucked. Now a vast majority of the squad is gung-ho for Gregg coming back. Maybe he made the majority of his dumb decisions in the last cycle because he was prepping everyone for 2026, don’t know. But I do know that the majority of the changes that fans wished that Gregg would make were made by BJ and they proved to be as good as the fans believed they would be. Nothing & no one held the USMNT back more from September 2021 until December of 2022 that Gregg Berhalter’s decisions. But perhaps the obvious choices are now so obvious that even Gregg can’t get in the way of the squad’s talent. 🙏
  14. But with a limp. Sticky-fingered string bean with excellent hands who makes solid cuts on crutches. 🤜 . . . . . 🎤

    Scaly went to Qatar. He just didn’t play. He absolutely should have come in late in Game 1 vs Wales to provide fresh legs. First obvious example of Gregg being a detriment to the USMNT in Qatar.

    Damn it!! 1) Gio appears to really be hurt. 2) I was wrong. I hate BOTH of those things. 🤬🤬🤬

    😂 If you think that Gio was really hurt, then you don’t know Gio. He was starting to stand up to rejoin play and then saw that play had stopped, so he collapsed like he had been shot and rolled like the player of Argentine (and Portuguese) descent that he is.

    Balogun has some jets. Reyna with 2 assists in the first half of a final.

    Balogun needed to head that with his first touch. Canada’s right winger (Larrea?) is faster than Jedi. And they have Davies on the left side. They have some fucking speed!

    At 47, he can’t afford to lose what little he has left.

    He hurt his ARM. It’s in a cast or something. It would be shocking if it affects his speed this coming season at Fulham
