  1. Matthew Belloni’s podcast is very good. I’m glad he’s getting some sort of recognition. Rita Pearlman has aged about 5 minutes since Cheers. I know she’s done some voice acting, but she looks great, relatively, given her age.
  2. Well, if 70th is a home run, this a standing triple. Good stuff.
  3. I had a pretty solid burger at Tapester’s Grill today. No frills just a traditional burger. Nice little neighborhood joint in Braeswood.
  4. I think the plan is to watch Secret Cargo tonight, and then rewatch S2 E12 and roll it right into Rogue One.
  5. On The Watch, Gilroy said he wrote a 7-8 page letter to Kennedy detailing why they shouldn’t make Andor. And she did it anyway. Good for her and I’d love to read that letter.
  6. A true masterpiece. We’re all lucky to be alive to see it. Bravo Gilroy.
  7. I believe that scene is S1 E11. I should have specified. Love that ship!
  8. I think Brooks name is dirt league wide. Ime might value what he does, but the rest of the league doesn’t. Maybe a young, bad team is looking for a veteran to toughen them up. It only takes 1 team to say I suppose.
  9. Sorting through the new mock drafts, I don’t think there will be a player available that can break into the Rocket’s rotation. Especially after the Reed Sheppard rookie experience. They need to package this pick or roll the dice on a “lottery ticket” in a future draft.
  10. But then they approved a Paul trade to the Clippers all while fucking owning the franchise.
  11. I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, the lottery is a mechanism for the league to control their teams. Trade Luka and the they’ll give you Flagg. Trade Chris Paul and they’ll give you AD. Trade AD and they’ll give you Zion. Unfortunately for the Jazz and Wizards, they didn’t have anything the NBA wanted.
  12. I’m hoping Luthen’s ship survives. Luthen surviving won’t be happening.
  13. What if the Rockets let FVV walk and sign Schroder to a 2 year deal? Capable starting PG play, good defender, and a bridge to Reed.
  14. The Mavs need to address point guard in free agency or it’s going to be a long year even with Flagg + “healthy” AD. I’d target Schroder. He’s a UFA.
  15. As the chicken man stated above, the league doesn’t want Wemby to flounder in San Antonio. None of the 5 teams in LA, NY, or Miami are ideal trade partners. - LAL. Already completed their deal with the devil in the Luka trade rape. The Lakers best offer for Giannis would be Reaves, Knecht and one first. - Knicks don’t have shit to trade. I’ve heard the Ringer throw out KAT for Giannis which is laughable. They have zero picks. - Clippers. LOL. They have 1 first this year. That’s it until after 2031. - Nets. Lots of picks. No young pieces to send back for Giannis. - Miami. Picks plus some young pieces. The Bucks should shoot for a Castle level young player plus a boatload of picks.
  16. I think we should mentally prepare ourselves for Giannis to SA. It’s what the league wants. Let’s say they don’t get Giannis, what’s the league’s move if the Spurs are 5 games under .500 at the trade deadline? It’s gotta be bigger than gifting them Fox. I think Dallas will be trash even with Flagg. They don’t have a point guard, and AD can play 30 minutes a game tops when healthy. Decent chance Kyrie doesn’t play next year.
  17. ESPN radio was in full spin mode this morning. - “Dallas deserved the first pick because they were trying. The Jazz and Wizards were trying to be a joke and they got what they got.” - “San Antonio shouldn’t trade Castle for Giannis, but the Rockets should trade Amen for him.” Just breathtakingly stupid takes.
  18. I would either trade up for Tre or Fears or package the pick in a bigger deal. Stick and pick would be unwise. Pretty goddamned obvious that Silver and the Mavs traded some horses. I don’t like the Adelsons, but butt fucking new owners with distasteful businesses pisses me off. Crane was investigated for war profiteering, so that son of bitch Selig makes us move to the AL to approve the deal.
  19. Content is king. Unfortunately, I think it’s Philly or SA.
  20. STFB is pretty great. It should have made the new BTAC lineup, not EHT.
  21. Simmons infamously hates Star Wars, but I heard he was converted after this episode. He was born in 1969. Absolutely insane that he didn’t see this movie in theaters and fall in love as a 8 year old.
  22. I think they need to eliminate the couple/family goes to dinner and the cast does goody shit sketches. They’re in almost every episode and they almost never work. It’s a disservice to Goggins to have him play a straight man dad while Brown Yang flounders. Goggins has nothing to do in that format/sketch.
  23. If you want to watch yet another autopsy on the Vietnam War, Turning Point from 2025 is pretty good.
  24. Silver has some hard decisions coming this week. Does he send another love letter to Pop, bail out Philly, or make Utah or DC relevant?
