Today in making fun of shitty press releases
Good reminder to not send my future kids to Kansas.
I'm surprised they didn't defend Marcus Morris' flagrant 2 foul against Luka the other night.

Why not? What would you consider musical genius to look like or consist of? Set out your parameters and definitions and allow me to make a case.
I understand what you're getting at and can probably guess the case you would make. I don't know what my parameters are but Jack Black falls below them.
I mean you're comparing him to Jack White who is probably the greatest guitarist of his generation. And I don't think I'd consider Jack White a musical genius, either, although he's a really, really fucking talented guitar player and composer. Actually, he might be one of my last in if I was going to make a list. I think Jack White is similar to someone like Travis Barker.
My bar is pretty fucking high. Prince is a genius. Jimmy Page is a genius. Brian Wilson is a genius. McCartney, Gilmour and Waters, Lou Reed, Sting, Elton John, Quincy Jones...
Those people. Not Jack Black.

For as entertaining as it’s been, i can’t take any of these offensive numbers seriously at all. Can’t take the Luka records seriously, can’t take the Jamal Murray records seriously. Clearly no fans is a huge difference.
It's not just no fans. The depth perception is different - i.e. they aren't shooting at a basket "floating" in front of an arena crowd - they are shooting on the same rims/baskets every night, they aren't traveling so they are probably sleeping better and have more rested legs.
I've said it upthread - it doesn't necessarily bother me from a competitive standpoint, since it's not like either team has an edge (although no home court advantage definitely benefits the lower seeds) but as far as the offensive numbers go, I don't think any of this shit should really "count". At the very least it should be asterisked or accounted for when revisiting this season.
They just flashed that Murray is the first player since AI to have 3 straight 40 point playoff games. He has the most points over 3 playoff games since MJ in 1988. Before this series, only 3 players had had two 50 point games in the same series. Now 5 have.
I mean come the fuck on...

Marcus Smart has hit 5 3s in the first 5 minutes of the 4th quarter.
This bubble shit is fucking stupid at times.

Nice try, but (shockingly) aggy didn't lose to FWU in 1907.
If it helps, below is a snip from the Wed, Oct 31, 1906 edition of the aggy school paper.
$1,000 to the first person who can identify the date and opponent of the 1907 home aggy football game where their "yell leader" tradition originated. Still waiting to be claimed by someone.
Come on, aggys. They must have taught you idiots about yell leaders at fish camp. An easy $1,000 just waiting to be claimed.
I took you up on this sometime back - and I beleive my best guesses were both games from different years and that they had gotten the date wrong and decided to stick with it.
Or more likely they just made it up.

Also...bear with me:
The actor (and sometime musician) Jack Black is one of the most musically interesting people I've had the pleasure of following, randomly, throughout the years. He seems to have a weird innate, almost virtuoso, ability to understand and play with melodies. His-- I'm not even sure what to call it-- vocal improvisation and/or scat singing I think is a medium for which he can explore and lift melodies to higher orders. He's simply fantastic, and if he wasn't so fat and jocular, I think he'd be taken more seriously. If he was had a personality of like, Jack White (overrated and emo), we'd think he was a musical genius, but because he's a funny go, I think we don't do his musical talent justice. But then again, I think a lot of the beauty in his music comes from a place of exploration and the human act of "play" that only creative humans can do.
I like a lot of his stuff. I wouldn't consider him a musical genius.

2000 atm game on LHN right now.
We get stuffed on the first posession of the game - 3 and out. Punt to the 12ish yard line.
First aggy play is a slant pass that gets jumped for a pick 6.
Never change, aggy.

Do we really think Giannis is resigning with the Bucks?
Yes. He's going to sign a supermax and not think twice about it.
13 minutes ago, youdunnf'dup said:Not even remotely close to the same thing IMO. Miami is an over achieving team who has no real shot at winning a title. Also, the bucks aren’t going to lose to the heat. Or at least they shouldn’t. The warriors had already won a title and had the best regular season in the history of the league. We don’t need to rehash this again, but that’s on a very short list of biggest bitch move in sports history, and he knows it
KD had wayyyy more playoff success than Giannis when he joined the Ws. He also had absolute cancer to deal with as his 2nd option. And a cheap FO.
Going to the Ws was a bitch move but leaving OKC wasn't. KD didn't owe anything to them when he left.

The riffing on "Johnny Was" is more compelling guitar work to me than anything by Green Day. And I loved Green Day back in the day. I think the secret to Green Day was Billy Joe was a hell of a pop rock songwriter and had a major knack for melody. Mike Dirnt is probably underrated as a bass player, I guess. A lot of the hook in some of the biggest Green Day songs came off his bass lines.
Their (his?) guitar work is fine. I'm not sure how much he was ever trying to do on guitar. There's something to be said for playing clean rhythm tracks, I guess. Their bass playing and drumming, however, is excellent. You can't sell 20 million records as just a trio and not be pretty fucking good at what you're playing. (Ask Nirvana)

3 hours ago, Al_4_ISU said:Stiff Little Fingers were a lot better at playing their instruments,
Yeah, I disagree. Part of what set Green Day apart from previous punk/pop-punk acts by the time they made Dookie was that they were decidedly not shitty at playing their instruments and went much more hi-fi than most punk acts. The "idea" was, hey let's take punk but not use noise to cover up our mistakes and actually stick to a tempo and mix and master everything properly. And if we flub something we're going to re-record it until it's flawless. And we'll keep the vocals as punk as we can, but we're going to at least try to sing on key and harmonize a little bit to make things catchy. (and then Blink-182 said "hey thats a great idea except we're going to rip the subject matter and singing from the descendents instead - see you at the VMAs!) They are similar to the Clash in that regard, except they became more popular than the Clash or any punk act before them. (thanks in large part to Nirvana 🙂)
The Stiff Little Fingers thing comes from a joke from a movie, right? I don't even think they sound that much alike. GD certainly didn't need them to do anything. They basically needed the Beatles, the Ramones and the Clash to come up with everything they put on record, and some help from Nirvana, PJ, Sonic Youth etc. to sell a fuck ton of records.

Nirvana broke through with the loud-quiet-loud thing and ended an entire genre overnight, instantly transforming rock radio. Nothing else like that has happened since then in rock and roll.
Maybe. I mean you're hyperbolizing a bit. The original comment I replied to was about no "new ideas" being presented in rock since Nirvana. I brought up Green Day because, like Nirvana, they helped to shape post 80s rock and set the stage for the type of rock that would become mainstream in the 90s and 00s. I guess the main difference would be that punk had been around longer than grunge, but it hadn't been mainstream basically... ever.
We could go back and forth on their legacies all day, but to say that Nirvana brought new ideas to rock and Green Day didn't is silly. Either they both did or neither of them did.

Oh wow. I was thinking of the Mavs/Clips series I guess.
