Yeah, at the beginning of that drive, they were averaging 6.8 yards per rush and less than 2 yards per completion. And they came out with five wide. Ugh.

Cincinnati has done Nebraska a huge favor by making themselves one-dimensional when there was still two minutes left in the game
-
Cincinnati goes into the fourth quarter averaging 5.7 yards per rush, yet they only have one touchdown. That seems like bad coaching to me. They're like a bear, with these fangs and these big claws. And they're just saying, "How do I kill the bunny?"

Careful, AUTF. tbone is going to bill you for 75 minutes of work related to this case.

"Creek people" is such ominous shorthand for "kids who lived in the neighborhood and used to sneak out and meet up to drink alcohol." (edit) If that is the criteria, then pretty much everyone on this thread was a member of "vacant lot people," "local park people," "undeveloped wooded area people," etc.

A few random thoughts after episode 3: 1. In a case with both incriminating and exonerating evidence, the filmmaker has a lot of power to influence your opinion. In this case, it seems like Margaret Brown had a shit ton of hours of "confession" footage to pick from, and she could show either the most absurd moments (things that objectively couldn't have been true) or the most incriminating moments to push us either way. 2. The fact that two of the suspects in completely separate interviews told a story about one of them (Scott?) attempting to rape a girl but being unable to "perform".... I mean, that seems like a HIGHLY specific and consistent anecdote where it strikes me as EXTREMELY unlikely that each of them just came up with that detail independently. 3. It occurs to me that this might be a case study of the failures of the Reid interview techniques: it generates confessions (often false) from the weaker and arguably less-culpable suspects, but fails to obtain one from a the ringleader/sociopath. There doesn't seem to be any dissent from either these four suspects or from law enforcement or from the "creek people" who casually knew them that Maurice was the "alpha" among these four (though lately that term is wildly overused). 4. My observations in both #2 and #3 might be wholly due to #1.

Really? I don't know anything about that theory, and maybe you know a lot more about this case than I do (which is admittedly not much). But that doesn't ring true to me. It's way more shocking, way more titillating, way more seductive in the way that conspiracies are seductive. But that would be a *big* conspiracy which would require the silence/complicity of a lot more people, which, to me, makes it way less likely than the much simpler theory that "teenage losers" did it and got away with it.

Raider would be an example of "violent people are going to continue to do violent things," right? Maybe that's the point you were making(?). I'm just saying: Sometimes when even the most horrific of crimes is solved, it turns out that the murderer went on to lead a law-abiding life.
-
To me, that statement feels perfectly analogous to "no one would ever confess to something they didn't do." Both declarations *feel* like they must be true, but they're just not. In this era of DNA evidence solving decades-old crimes, we have seen MANY examples of guys being brought to justice after they had gone on to lead simple and nondescript lives. Many of the murderers who were ultimately discovered and convicted had committed horrific crimes... even family annihilations (John List comes to mind). Many of them later married, attended church, worked stable jobs, raised good kids, etc. The fact that these four guys didn't get convicted of anything violent in the next 20-30 years... I don't think that proves anything one way or another - *especially* for whoever was the stupid "follower(s)" under the influence of an actual sociopath.

Worth a watch.

I don't know what his talent was, but it definitely wasn't making sonically great records.

"The Stranger" totally holds up as a creative master class. Stranger-52nd Street-Glass Houses is a pretty solid run of albums. I wish they'd spent more time on the music, the musicians, the songs, the studio process, etc. - and a bit less on "the romantic history of Billy Joel." I'm sure Joel is capable of being abrupt and difficult, but I got a little weary of hearing how much it hurt Liberty's feelings when he didn't use him on a project, and how much it hurt Phil Ramone when Joel wanted to use a different producer, etc, etc. It's a complicated and nuanced thing to talk about loyalty in those situations where there's a completely one-sided power dynamic. I'm sure no one would argue that those people played a huge role in shaping the music. But let's remember that for a lot of those musicians, being in Joel's band is the difference between jetting around the world surrounded by luxury and adoration vs. teaching music lessons for $50/hr and making a few bucks every weekend at a nightclub. It has to be more complicated than Joel is the greatest down-home, loyal, never-changing, stand-up guy only as long as he uses the same cast of Long Island guys... and he's a treasonous disloyal asshole when he wants to do something different or work with a different person.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Paul Wesley replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
You could post this observation on every thread on this board, and you'd be hammer-hitting-nail almost every time. -
Paring down the collection - and yes, I know that's not what the thread is for. But life has thrown me a few curveballs, and I'm downsizing to my most sentimental instruments in preparation for a move. Selling this I-35 LC with Fralin P90's. Cheapest used blond on Reverb is 6K, and cheapest new ones are well over 7K. Surly discount is $3950 plus shipping. PM me.

An endorsement far more credible than mine: Ian Mclagan walked into a session and saw a pair of 421 at 90 degrees on a Leslie. He lit up and turned to engineer. "Finally! An engineer who knows how to mic a B3!"
