  1. I like the Flagg/Havlicek comparison. But for me, it’s Philly Iguodala mixed with GS Iguodala at the same time with more upside on both ends. Or Shane Battier with way better counting stats. I do think it’s more likely he is a consistent all-star/3rd team NBA than transcendent. But also think he’s going to have his share of rings when all is said and done.
  2. Harper got that shot off on him, but that post didn’t age well in a single game. Flagg was far and away best player on the court. Need to pull him now so he doesn’t pull a Chet.
  3. My vintage Esso T-shirt came in the mail yesterday. Soft cotton for the win.
  4. After digesting this for a few days, there is so much Kerr County (and with respect to the city, Kerrville) got wrong both in long term and short term to exacerbate this. It’s not to take any responsibility off of the camps. But given Kerr County’s unique risk when compared to other counties, they, in short and long term, took every shortcut afforded to them right down to posting the flood risk on Facebook as opposed to actually, you know, calling the camps. The camps don’t have cell service but they have land lines and radios and internet. The lack of cell service being a cause is a red herring. The campers don’t have access, which is the point. But if the county isn’t warning them, it’s not doing its job. People can shit on the Eastlands, but La Junta, Honey Creek, and Heart of the Hills were all caught off guard. They just were “luckier” to have been a little further down river and/or not have campers in session. And as we know HoH lost its leader, too. The camps have liability here, certainly. But the county did nothing to extend its resources and awareness of the situation to the campers and tourists in the area. The comparison to the Jaws mayor isn’t far off.

    I just watched the highlights of the US Cup QF game. That was quite a match. Stuver doing Stuver things to keep us in it. We still can't score a goal from free play to save our lives. Hopefully BV not hurt too badly.
  6. I didn’t want to say it, but, yeah. Kerr County judge should commit career seppuku on behalf of him and, presumably, his predecessors.
  7. Yeah…. At the government level this lands pretty squarely on Kerr County with a hefty bit of complacency on the state. And Kerr county majority will continue to vote for those that failed them because you know why.
  8. We saw this in a text chain. Was waiting for confirmation. Really sad. He taught my daughter how to fish (better).
  9. The link in this twitter post is hella sketchy. Do not click through.
  10. We ate at 1011 Bistro in Kerrville last week the night before picking up our daughter. Imagine that place is no more.
  11. My understanding (and mind you this is via a mom’s text chain, but a text chain that is very well connected with Mystic) is that they are one of many in the area just waiting, including non-Mystic. If I find out I will post an update.
  12. My wife is on a mom’s thread for my daughter’s cabin from last Mystic term. Things are coming in fast and furious, but apparently a cluster of four girls has been spotted, is temporarily safe, and is waiting to get rescued from high ground.
  13. My wife just showed me a picture of two girls around 8 sitting in a helicopter that got airlifted out. It was daytime. I am not posting it. But there are active rescues still happening it appears.
  14. Mystic Guadalupe is like 18 girls per cabin - at least my daughter’s cabin this summer. There really isn’t high ground on that campsite to speak of. We toured Stewart for my son last week and the river sits far below the campsite there. We also looked at La Junta same day and I see how that could get overrun. Guess I know where we are sending him next summer.
  15. The Twins cabins are the youngest as someone said upthread.
  16. I just picked up my daughter from Mystic Guadalupe last week. This is fucking terrible.
  17. Disappointed as I liked the ending as a finale. But I’ll watch it. I feel like Carmy’s story is done
  18. It started too slow and meandering/rinse and repeat, but 4.5 onward was nails. I loved the under the table gimmick frankly because the set kept getting bigger and bigger as more people were under there. Sure it’s a metaphor, insisting on itself whatever, but I felt it was kinda self aware when the Fak backed up to take the picture. I actually loved the conceit of the last episode just being those 3 and then Sugar comes out and validates Carmy without words. Will miss this as I don’t think it’s coming back. Hopefully not.
  19. Given their draft this week, call up Brooklyn and offer Whitmore, a vet, and a pick for Cam Johnson. Can't hurt.
  20. Dumars has zero stripes as a competent GM. I am sorry. He lucked into 2004-5. His transaction history is laughable.
  21. I immediately sell all my panini redemptions. They are a joke. I’ll sell most of my Topps too unless I intent to grade it or it’s in PC.
  22. Watched this with my 7 year old Friday night. He’s been asking for 2 months and finally got the thumbs up from Mom. It was perfect. He was sufficiently enthralled and scared and had a hard time going to sleep, then woke up and we talked about it and he was proud that he made it through and couldn’t wait to talk to his buddies about it. He want me to watch Jaws 2 with him now. I have no recollection of that movie so need to revisit it first. We are going to watch the making of here this weekend to ground things a little bit.
  23. I mean.... and I like you as a poster, but.... In any event, no one is questioning Tyrese, and if I came across that way, that wasn't the intent. It probably barely crossed his mind his Achilles might pop. Same with KD. I just think that medical staffs are going to be looking at calf strains in the NBA and NFL pretty soon the same way we look at pitchers' elbows. If the medical experts can find a correlation, then perhaps they can identify the risk of rupture early and take measures to diagnose and preventatively repair. Whether that is preemptive surgery or just plain old rest, I have no idea. And I don't think it changes the calculus in the playoffs, necessarily, outside of some kind of diagnosis that says the thing is about to go. But as stated above, that takes data and evidence, and that's hard to collect.
  24. This is my point better made. The Drs and trainers are going to start worrying about these calf strains a little more even in the playoffs absolutely the players want to play and management wants them to play. But it’s worth it for everyone to try to figure out what type of calf strain is leading to these Achilles tears because I don’t think it’s coincidence.
