  1. What if it was a 4 start general doing the same thing? They would have to stand down. It's equivalent. But stay obtuse.
  2. If guess the fact that you think he was acting like a child, given what his role is and what she said, is part of the problem. Your fascism is showing.

    Desler is super important to this team. That is all.
  4. Mountainhead got panned on the Tv/Movie thread but I am telling you, it is both holding up a mirror and prescient.
  5. Elmo has his own horde. And they are better at computers and stuff than the 25th Rascal Batallion. This is gonna be fun.
  6. Hmmmm...... I enjoyed it? I knew going in that they filmed it over 10 days in February, so it was what I expected. And I am not sure it's that far off of how Thiel, Musk, Reid Hoffman, and David Sacks (clearly the models for each) talk to each other in real life.
  7. Was Maeve suggesting that she and Eddie should be a couple? The "But your my Nan!" or whatever was weird. How much I ultimately liked this episode has everything to do with how next season picks up. Because I am not so sure right now. Seems like Philomena is taking the call Harry won't with Kat, so I imagine that will be a huge source of friction next season.
  8. Kentucky has a kid named Kyuss Gargett
  9. Going to Metallica/Pantera/Suicidal Tendencies with my 13 yo nephew tonight in DC at Commanders stadium. Was his bday present because his dad is a deadbeat. I am 49 and figure I’ll be at about the average age.
  10. Exactly. Wemby’s floor is a better version of Ralph Sampson or Bill Walton’s NBA career depending on how long he lasts. Wemby’s ceiling is above LeBron, imo. Tall dudes (>7’ 0”) have an inherent risk of breaking down.
  11. I think he probably has the highest floor since LeBron, FWIW, or maybe AD. I put him ahead of Wemby because Oden/Embiid/Sampson. The Kirilenko comparisons aren’t wrong but if he is a better version of AK47 he’s a perennial all star. I see him as 24-8-6 for a career that also has him as a 1st/2nd team perennial all defense player. He has a frame that can get pretty big. Dude’s shoulders are broad.
  12. Skip to 1:42. It’s just a scrimmage but he certainly didn’t look 17 out there (which he was).
  13. The vibe of this thread weirded me out. It was more than “making fun of” and went beyond the Reese’s and Griners of the world, who I just think are just at a certain stage of grief with the future of their careers, influence and relevance. Ignoring them is my go-to Derka, to his credit, may have identified why it weirded me out. I’ll think about that. The product itself also doesn’t bother me that much. It’s always been choppy but it’s going to get better because of CC, Aja, Juju and others.
  14. I guess I don’t care. They don’t matter. And she doesn’t seem to either. She’s laughing all the way to the bank.
  15. Ok. I’ll consider that maybe it’s me that’s more uncomfortable that you guys are shitting on women players the same way you shit on men’s players. It should be equal opportunity, I guess. I’ll think about that and how it may be me applying a double standard. (Contrition on surly, holy shit!). I also don’t shit on male players and teams and leagues as much many on this site do (other than a brief dalliance being anti-Case a dozen years ago), so perhaps it’s my sunny disposition. My view is it will all work itself out as CC blows by the league, then her and Brueckers and eventually Juju, if she fully recovers from that injury, just leap past everyone with Aja and Collier and a couple of others. And given that, maybe I am just perplexed by the high levels of anger from people who claim not to be consumers of the product And even if one thinks it’s a shit product, it’s one that is hugely important to people like my daughter and her friends. The level of play is less important than the fact that it is possible when it wasn’t 30 years ago, regardless of how it’s being financed. And even better if CC and some others can drag the league up to a higher standard. So to bring it full circle to it being a CC thread (although last page seemed like an Angel Reese thread), enjoy the brilliance and know that it will eventually win the day.
  16. Like I said. This thread is weird. Clark is definitely getting undeserved shit from the vets and others that she will eventually just have play herself out of, and she will because she’s just that good. It sucks that she has to deal with it but she isn’t the first. But there is this just this weird undertone, je ne sais quoi, from those complaining about it that goes beyond that. It’s like the online horde complaining about the all women Ghostbusters cast. Closest thing I can think of to it, in any event.

    Uzuni continues to frustrate but him finding Kolmanic on the goal is an elite play not often seen in MLS.
  18. This thread is weird.
  19. They killed or flipped all the bad guys that we have any connection to, so not sure what’s left to do next week. I could have been cool with this being the last episode.
  20. It’s Eddie. Of course that makes Eddie the same to Maeve as Seraphina so I don’t get Maeve’s loyalty to Eddie unless she is about to turn on him. Still wondering who Freddie named to get him thrown off roof. I presume Maeve. And Inwont be stunned to find out Kat is CIA or something. This show has already gone Gangs of London bonkers with the end of the last two episodes.

    Twice in this game Uzuni made super weird decisions to pull back when I thought he could have pushed forward. Particularly early in first half where he could have battled forward then just passed it across the field. I am not seeing it from him. Bukari clearly has a ton of skill, but he and Gallagher don’t seem to connect well along the side. It just feels like a bunch of guys that haven’t played together, and I guess there is some truth to that.
  22. Your Friends and Neighbors is trying to do too much. It is trying to be like Desperate Housewives or something with 30 different storylines instead of Breaking Bad with one through line and some interesting ancillary stuff. I like it but it could be so much better. There are about a 1/2 down characters that get too much screen time.

    That free kick by BV was sick. That extra time goal was not.
