    If SA thinks Harper is going to be anywhere close to Cade then they'd be idiots to trade him and Castle for Giannis.  That's a good to great roster over the next 10 years and they'd have Castle and Harper on rookie deals.

    Yeah the talking heads seem to think the second pick + the Spurs extra picks is enough tor Giannis. I just don’t see it. The Bucks need both and the picks to start over.

    What annoys me is the national media believes Castle and Amen are equal players. Uh, no.

    Is Michigan's defense good enough to turn this into an ugly type game?  They did well against Bama' in the bowl game and I'm assuming that was with a starting lineup that they'll be fielding this year with the opt outs.

    Can they consistently run in Venables' defense for 4-5 yards a carry?

    Would Underwood running all over OU shock anyone? I’d say no. Michigan paid for Cam Newton. They think he can play right away. 

  3. End of the day, the Sooner boards have convinced themselves that they have an elite defense littered with NFL prospects, Mateer + Arbuckle will fix the offense, and Nagy will fix the roster. They’re likely to go 0-3.

    That said, their PR people are impressive. Every Sooner expert interviewed on a national podcast or publication has argued they’re playoff contenders with a straight face.

  4. Can we have a dog walking etiquette discussion? I routinely see a fat lady in my neighborhood walking her massive Tibetan Mastiff down the street at 5pm in the Houston summers. This dog has to be miserable. Not sure what kind of paws that breed has, but I’ll wager they’re burnt. 

    I get work and family schedules and all that, but do the decent thing and walk the dogs in the morning please. 
     

    PS: I’m no saint. I attempted to walk the puppies at Memorial Park at noon last week. Little girl tapped out after 15 minutes.

  5. I’m not saying she should win, but I hope Abby Elliott is nominated for an Emmy. She’s the glue holding the show together, and she’s a terrific actress.

    Not sure what happened over there at SNL. She was routinely one of the best cast members in her seasons. She’s really funny. 

  6. Remember when Olivia Munn was the smoking hot cool sports chicks you wanted to hang out with? Yeah, I don’t either. Bitch on wheels doesn’t fit her. 
     

    Peet got a much juicer role.

    Agreed. After the last ep it’s pretty clear Coop would have been better off just telling his wife the moneytrain was off the tracks and to fuck off, telling his shitty kids they’re headed to public school next year, selling the Maserati, and heading down the road.  
     

    I think it’s about to spin into a total disappointing shitshow.  I don’t give a shit about his nutjob sister and her obsessive relationship. Or family conflicts with his chica partner. Or his ex wife’s rich nba boyfriend’s entrepreneurial efforts.  Or Barney’s home reno issues or in-law problems.  
     

    it would be improved with more nekkid women.

    It’s a worse version of Billions. Which had titties and better actors. 

  8. I’m reluctant to share any Houston driving tips, but I feel that it’s always manageable if you give yourself enough time and there are no road closures. If 610 or one of the interstates is closed and you run into it, you are fucked and should just go home. 

    I think many of the people bitching about Houston traffic live in the suburbs, commute during peak hours, don’t know the city well, and won’t drive fast enough to get around problems.

    If you don’t know back ways to get out of NRG, and Minute Maid/Toyota yet you’re behind help. 

    I get why people with families live in the suburbs, but 45 minutes in no traffic just to get home is fucking crazy. 
     

    My traffic complaints are : no one knows how to merge in this city, weekend traffic and turning right out of middle lanes. The latter is insanely dangerous, yet I see it often. If you drive defensively, treat it like a war and remain focused, you’ll be fine. Also, whenever possible drive early. Driving late doesn’t help much.

    Opened earlier this month, I think.  Might want to check it out soon, before the fire bombing.

    Called earlier today, they are open.

    I drove by this place yesterday.  Anybody tried it yet?

    Given the balloons and banners, are they open finally?

    I've never heard of Rally Cap, but is it mostly softball right now because it is fully postseason for them? 

    It’s been softball heavy all season. I believe they added the female host/softball expert this season, so it could be they’re focused on giving her stuff to do. Maybe it evens out eventually. 

     

  12. I think Rally Cap is just a poorly produced/extremely low budget show. 
     

    - Segment 1: softball. Maybe 30 seconds of highlights followed by 10 minutes of talking heads.

    - Segment 2: baseball. 30 seconds of m highlights. 10 minute interview with random baseball player.

    - Segment 3: more fucking softball. Interview with random softball player in her hotel room or in a boiler room. 

    - Segment 4: baseball and softball previews. 90% of the segment is a graphic with the schedule and the 3 hosts talking over it. 
     

    The Daily Texan could shoot a more compelling SEC baseball show on an iPhone for free. 

  13. It’s a good draft. Of course Glagg could be a generational player. Harper would be the first pick on almost every other draft. A lot of people think he’s a Cade Cunningham level prospect 

    Tre and Fears should also be really good pros. 
     

    The top 6 should a really good player. Unfortunately, the Rockets are not in top 6.

    There is no "other side". There is no debate to be had. 

    Paul George is a lunatic for making that comment and probably racist. For you to then try and hold water for him is insane. 

    Have you fucking watched this kid play basketball? 

    I mean even your Pippen comp is hysterical. You think Ace Bailey projects to be better than Scottie Pippen? What the fuck are you talking about. 

    Again, I’m trying to understand where George is coming from. I never said I agreed with him or that Bailey is a better player. 

  15. It should be an interesting summer. Plenty of cast members with a much higher profile than Yang have been fired without explanation. Anything is possible.
