  1. Per Ikard, he was hearing exactly that Saturday into Sunday. Big team meeting, players are generally on board with a discussion and small leave of absence with an eye toward moving past it together. Then by Sunday evening, something in there changed. He doesn't know if it was Admin-driven, or if players spoke up that weren't comfortable doing it in a large session, or if Gundy and Venables had another discussion, but something changed.
  2. Jacob sounds like he needs a nap and a juice box.
  3. If some significant percentage of the players wouldn't be comfortable with him around, he's absolutely right that he would be a distraction.
  4. Had to be that, and players had to be upset about it. If it was a mistake and nobody was angry, this likely comes down to an apology. Some fans are in denial and hoping something changes, but with Venables' statement, it's hard to see a way this isn't the end.
  5. If you've ever felt cheated when a chase scene could have had the camera fly up a building and down the other side, Ambulance has got what you need.
  6. I should fucking hope so. I've got a buddy who's pretty advanced in the ag industry (KSU grad) and he says it's a cult all the way up. Apparently if you want to get in on the high level meetings, you'd better have someone on your team who can tap their idiotic ring on the table when the rest of them do it, or you're SOL.
  7. Sometimes you ask Twitter a question you should ask your teammates.
  8. It works until it doesn't. He's selling nothing but potential right now, with no negatives other than the uncertainty that comes with any coaching change. If he can keep it up and maintain that scarcity by demonstrating value, it's great. If there's any decline in that value, it becomes a joke among those who actually matter in the process.
  9. Jury is out on how well Venables handles setbacks, agreed 100%. Also don't have any arguments about Lebby. There's got to be someone who knows offense that wasn't complicit in sexual assault coverups AND wasn't previously banned from the OU sidelines.
  10. An interesting take on that from an ex-student employee with the football team from Brent's first term at OU...
  11. He's a huge Skinny Puppy fan, so....
  12. Agreed. The generic nature of it screams quick buck for whoever set it up, not for the athletes.
  13. Announced today, lots of player involvement, it seems?
  14. I think the Nova Scotia Crystal place on the Harbor in Halifax closed down, but if it has somehow magically reopened, visit there. It was the only place in Canada doing actual hand-blown crystal work. I had a great meal at the Bicycle Thief a little farther south along the water. The views coming down the hill are incredible.
  15. I'm optimistic, this looks fun as hell. Certainly better than the one that came out 20 years ago.
  16. If so, it's at the airport with the whole team about to be interviewed live. That's a move, for sure.
  17. Gettin ready to talk about Creed Humphrey to a recruit...
  18. I don't think it's ever been an expressed sentiment, but it's something that the data points have been building around. I'd be interested if this was an actual anecdote or the result of the last three years of results painting a picture. Every year, he's getting maybe one or two higher-profile transfers or commits that fit that description, when we would expect that to be in the 3-4 range, based on the targets that have been made public. Either way, I'm absolutely not plugged in enough to know the truth here, but it wouldn't shock me to have that confirmed.
  19. I wasn't in the food service bit, but working in theaters during high school was like this when we ran midnight movies. Even in a small town, you run The Wall at midnight for a 300 seat theater pre-internet, you're going to have a rough go. No credit cards taken and I was the only one selling tickets. By the time the movie started, the booth was a foot deep in bills I just threw on the floor because the drawer wouldn't hold them all. I cleaned it up and counted, and walked into the lobby to see the concessions people laying on the floor trying to catch their breath, half covered in oil and popcorn.
  20. I think the point (aside from the character work, which is the actual point of the show) is that this is something that isn't really happening everywhere in Chicago. It's a town that really cares about tradition and working class access. That's what Richie represents, which is why so much of the conflict is between him and Carmy.
  21. I liked them, but I 100% understand why it wouldn't work for quite a lot of people.
