  1. Excellent breakdown. Kind of seems like The Athletic guys were making a concerted effort to be contrarian.
  2. Basically, I've just been peeking in at this thread and checking boxscores. I'll watch a few mins here and there if the game is on up here in Dallas but I have to admit I was a little surprised to see all three Athletic writers pick Chet Holmgren over Victor for ROY at this point. Victor's PER is better but Holmgren's VORP is higher. Victor's raw numbers are much better but Holmgren has a much better supporting cast and isn't the focal point. I also have seen that Victor is getting into a serious groove and could wind up moving past Chet in the second half of the season. In nine January games, Victor is averaging 24.8 points and 9.1 rebounds in 25.3 minutes per game.
  3. Genius level analysis there by Catturd.
  4. These New Hampshire voters don’t love everything Trump says. But here’s why they’re planning to back him https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/22/politics/new-hampshire-trump-voters/index.html Some highlights:
  5. SI was not like most other sports publications in that it was more long-form, "color" writing. It was a weekly, not a daily so therefore the "live" events the mag would write about were already a week old by the time the issue got to your mailbox. Many times, writers were essentially embedded with the teams involved in the game through the front offices, the coaches, the players and so on. It was never meant to compete with ESPN in any fashion. Yes, there were feature-type articles as well and "Insider" note columns by their beat writers. It was the absolute pinnacle of sportswriting/photography for many, many years but I stopped getting it more than a decade ago and haven't missed it a single bit.
  6. Wasn't quite sure where to put this so this seems as good a place as any: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/fake-joe-biden-robocall-tells-new-hampshire-democrats-not-vote-tuesday-rcna134984
  7. I think this nails him pretty good. He’s more of a classist than he is a traditional racist. Everything he does is transactional. He knows to be POTUS you must have been born in the US or to US parents with other criteria met. His “birtherism” arguments would’ve invalidated Obama and now Haley from being POTUS, therefore he/Trump wins. I think it’s that simple.

  9. The very last sketch was just awful
  10. I’m going to check it out soon. Did they bump the “Please Don’t Destroy” guys tonight?
  11. Alaska commercial was terrific. The cold open was pretty good.
  12. Trump's MAGA goons, egged on by the Orange Edgelord, wanted to kill him on J6. Now he's cupping the balls, stroking the shaft and swallowing the gravy (while Mother looks on.)
  13. Not sure you did this deliberately but thank you for reminding me of one of my all-time favorite South Park episodes:
  14. I'm patiently (ok, that's a lie) waiting for his Dave Barnett moment:
  15. Just finished the premiere. It’s Manbearpig isn’t it?

    Had to go over to Funkytown last night for a work deal at The Drover. Hit up Panther City on my way back this afternoon. First time to go there since they took over the bar spot next door. Pretty solid though I don’t remember the brisket elotes being that salty-tasting the last time.
