  1. He will always be a legend to me for breaking the backboard and the Tarheels’ back.
  2. Only if we can trade this pick to a team that will be shitty next year for lots of picks. Maybe to Chicago, Washington and Toronto for their first this year and next year, another second or two and a solid rotation guy. Have to hope someone is in love with Thompsons. We can’t tank on a roughly 50/50 shot we get what Pistons got tonight and lose pick. Let the market dictate for Harden and bring him in on a short term deal for under $40m. Anything more than 3 years or $40m year and pass.
  3. Hey, Victor, I have Steve Francis on line 1 and Eli Manning on line 2. Who would you like to chat with first? Wait a sec, Kawhi is calling me….
  4. Just connect Wemby to Kawhi re Pop and the Spurs and Steve Francis on how to force a trade. Profit!
  5. So what’s that sign and trade look like in 2028? I kid….
  6. I struggle with how I feel about Green on this team as a long term thing. He has potential to be Booker, from what people tell me. But my gut tells me he is really a worse version of Bradley Beal. If the latter is right can we sell high now if we don’t get Wemby?
  7. This. Not that complicated. Shiv faked the call to Nate because she could convince Ken to not let ATN call it for Mencken and still have Gojo deal go through after because what are Ken and Roman going to do at that point? She got greedy. Ken called, off camera Nate said he never talked to her. Ken is rightfully pissed. The end. If she really cared about “the republic” as much as she lets on she would have bit the bullet and gotten Nate and Jiminez to cut a deal even though it kills the Gojo deal.
  8. Black Mirror, baby!!
  9. No, but they showed the Curb scene that is one of the top five funniest one liners ever in that show: <shoulder shrug> “Parkinson’s”
  10. Back in the area but for meetings in Burlingame (boo!). If you ever have to stay at airport, stay at Marriott Waterfront or Westin, get a waterfront view, and walk over to New England Lobster Company for lunch or early dinner Monday Lobster special for $25 is first picture. Also got a lobster taco (not as good of a deal but tasty).
  11. I’ll hate that if true, but….. Barry seemed like younger Barry (the hair) when they pulled the mask off. May have just been messed up from the mask but he seemed like the younger version in that quick shot.
  12. Shiv has the most concern for the greater good but still couldn’t let it override her own selfish agenda. She makes the call to Nate and let’s them know ATN’s plans and they probably cut a deal to kill Gojo. But she tried to have both.

    Austin FC

    Yeah. Ferreira is lame. He’s peaked as a nice MLS false 9 but should never sniff national team again. I wish MLS fans came up with opponent specific player cheers like the UK does (The one about the Sunderland pedo to Yankee Doodle was the best). Would have been perfect time for it. Come up with something that is more family friendly that would also get under opposing players’ skin. Just a little tired of same ole same ole from South end, but we aren’t any different than other MLS teams in that regard, I imagine. Back to the team, Claudio’s, and I guess, Wolff’s roster building has been really bad. It doesn’t help that our two most prolific players from last year are hurt and one of our two most talented players is playing with the under-20s. But it also doesn’t help that of the DPs that are not hurt, one would be on the bench but for injuries, and the other is replacement level MLS. Just a disaster. The city is starting to get distracted, and folks aren’t going to come out to 100 games this summer if it isn’t fun.

    Zardes can’t play for us anymore. It’s fucking coaching malpractice. We are so much more dangerous without him.

    I have liked 5 tonight.

    Both of Redes cards seemed wrong from the stands.

    Gyasi Zardes is the Javale McGee of soccer if Javale McGee missed 75% of his dunks.

    Burgers

    The new burger on the PHP Brewing menu is legit.

    Steak

    Yeah…. This is the worst “high end” steakhouse in Austin by a few miles. We went there last year with some clients at last minute because only place with reservations. Inexcusable bad and u prepared servers for the prices they were charging.
  20. They knew the oysters well and the cocktails and knew the basic stuff that wasn’t on menu (made a great Negroni that wasn’t a straight 1:1:1). But ultimately helpful is probably a euphemism for able to manage their time to both get their job done for rest of bar, cover the orders from the tables, and hold a conversation with the dipshit (me) sitting at the bar asking questions.
  21. Checking this place out near work. On 3rd between Colorado and LaVaca. It is packed and seems fun. Overpriced but oysters were good and bartenders seem smart. Will be interested if they can make the margins they need to cover the overhead. But recommend coming in at 4:30 or so and bellying up to bar. Talent has been spectacular.
  22. It’s fine. I’ve been there a few times. Bartenders are cool and helpful. I’ll go back but it isn’t a home run by any means. A nice single and stolen base. Prefer Salt Traders on the way home. More options.
  23. So after being irate he got the platform last night I’ve calmed down, listened to Pod Save America, and refocused. - Only 3m watched live. - It was full of sound bytes that will be run by Dem PACs and the Biden campaign in every swing state for next 18 months. - It signaled the worthlessness of CNN as a political player on the heels of the destabilization of Fox. 2024 is all about turnout. Everyone has made their minds and if they haven’t it’s a cover that they are voting for Trump. Trump said a lot of insane and repugnant shit last night that can be run on loop and was unapologetic about it. Just get out the fucking vote and flip NC to kill the electoral map for good for the GOP.
  24. So, again, the dems are playing this too diplomatically. Hefner is actually pretty adept at answering without answering and not looking completely ridiculous (like the woman trying to prevent cities from enforcing gun laws). The Dems need to go harder at him. He is winning these exchanges, and probably chucking to himself as he turns back around to his colleagues. Some depo/x-exam specialist needs to start writing the questions for the Dem side of the lege because they are failing right now.
  25. Lincoln? Lol. I mean he was a great president but not sure solving divisiveness worked out for him.
