2022 NFL DRAFT
Ed Marinero was a Heisman runner-up. He was a regular on Hill Street Blues, an excellent cop show from the 1980's, and had a respectable TV acting career. His speech was long (and humorous), but it's not like he is up there because he finished 14th in a county spelling bee.

Random album discussion - R.E.M.'s "New Adventures in Hi-Fi"
It is almost a double album length. There are, IMO, only two mediocre tracks, Low Desert and Zither. My favorites are: So Fast, So Numb Leave The New Test Leper E-Bow the Letter These rank with their very best work. Great thread, about an unjustly forgotten superb album. I would rank it my 3rd favorite album behind Life's Rich Pageant & Automatic for the People. Incidentally, I am one of about 10 people who really enjoyed their next album, UP. And it is "Binky" the doormat, not "Blinky". I wonder what that's about. Thanks for the recording background.

Ski Season 2020/2021
I skied CB today. Once I knocked the rust off (i'm 64, and I have not skied since 2019), it was a great day. Great snow, and the mountain is opening up. Paradise Bowl is open.

Name your 10/10 albums
Really good list. Love's Forever Changes, Who's Next and the Velvet Underground and Nico are indispensible.

Name your 10/10 albums
I would go with Blonde on Blonde, a double album that never drags (I should have included on my list).

Ski Season 2020/2021
Crested Butte is a good choice. Lift lines are minimal most of the time.

- Is Deshaun Watson Done in Houston?
I don't think Watson waiving his no-trade clause is going to matter. Maybe I am missing something. Some team is going to have to trade for him.- Texas vs. ACU - First Round - 8:50pm on truTV/TNT
Coleman often has the giggles, IMO.- Is Deshaun Watson Done in Houston?
Watson Feeling at Homes- Coronavirus Impact on Travel
Not until 4 pm today. I skied all day.- Coronavirus Impact on Travel
At Crested Butte today, I don't think I got within 10 feet of anyone, other than my family.- Primary Debate # 5 - November 20th, Atlanta
She could have used tape recording of her Miami and Houston debates and saved the plane fare.- Primary Debate # 5 - November 20th, Atlanta
She took 9th place down. Now it belongs to Harris. Weird strategy.- 2020 Democratic Debates Watch Thread
Harris is a fool.- 2020 Democratic Debates Watch Thread
This is like a really bad book that I can't put down.- 2020 Democratic Nominee
Obama is one of the greatest public speakers of our time. Harris cannot string 3 sentences together without backtracking or contradicting herself. Big difference.- 2020 Democratic Nominee
Harris's lack of articulation is stunning. She issues caveats that do not relate to the question, or her answer. She starts stammering regularly when she gets to her third sentence. Her true beliefs have not been intellegently stated 4 months into her campaign. That is not true of most candidates. She has only excelled at criticising other people. - Is Deshaun Watson Done in Houston?
