  1. I finished The Dark Forest. A truly fascinating idea. Terrific book. I hope B&W spend most of the season or seasons in space. Sounds like some Mad Max Lite shit on the surface and Avatar in the subsurface. It would be very tough to adapt to film. The droplet scene and The Battle in the Darkness should be quite a spectacle.
  2. I really wanted Seth Beer to work out for the jersey sales, but Cooks on number 10 jerseys works too.
  3. Ok surly, who’s taking the bullet and marrying Loperfido’s hipster sister to keep him in Houston for the rest of his career?
  4. Loperfido is Italian right? Unusual last name, but it ends in a vowel and he’s from Philly.
  5. The smartest thing an Astro player can do is be nice to the media. Other than Astros Twitter, this is a very laid back sports town. Throw them tickets, invite them to charity balls, appear on their shows. 975 on the drive home was advocating offering Bregman a 3 year contract today to “take the pressure off and keep him from pressing.” You can’t make this shit up if you tried.
  6. I wonder if the current cast is too busy filming commercials to be bothered to learn their lines. Everybody except the minor male players are routinely booking commercials. They don’t film those in NYC. Hell Kennan had a sitcom filmed in LA while on the show. Methinks the regulars are doing a lot of shit on Zoom and rolling up in person for dress rehearsal, live show, and getting on a plane the next day.
  7. Salisbury and LaLima were advocating for more time for Abreu just this morning. Can we petition 790 to remove them?
  8. I’m trying to game out the Falcons’ thought process on Penix. They needed a pass rusher, but 8 was too early, so they started to think outside the box. They also knew if they moved back past 10 that the Vikings would pick Penix, and if they moved back to 13 they’d lose JJ to the Broncos. So if they wanted Penix, they had to stick and pick at 8. Yes it was garded to pick him that early, but they got their guy. I reject they could have traded back and acquired picks and still gotten Penix. JJ has a lot of question marks and Nix flat out sucks. Penix would have been gone after 12 at a minimum. I also heard the Falcons don’t expect to be picking in the first 10 during the life of Cousins’ contract, so they felt compelled to move now and get their guy. I think it’s a dogshit front office with a better than average owner. After what I saw last year, I hope Bijan gets out soon, and gets his 5th year picked up or signs an extension with his new team.
  9. Terrion Arnold is my guess. He’s a corner and a Campbell/Lions type player, so I could see them sticking and picking. Pearsall would also be a good guess. CJ loves the guy, but I don’t see DeMeco approving a move up for a WR.
  10. Big Bang Theory feels like grandmother fanfiction written as an over correction to the Free Love movement of the 60’s and 70’s. My son Leonard moved to California, but he doesn’t do drugs, drink or have sex. He studies quantum physics at Caltech, loves Star Trek, and calls his mother. He’s a good boy. Mix in the Chuck Lorre sitcom formula and a laugh track and you have a massive hit with olds. Pick up some Comic Con fans along the way and they have a billion dollar show. The Chuck Lorre formula is no joke with olds. My grandmother was the most buttoned up human I’ve ever met and she loved Two and Half Men. This is despite Charlie Sheen banging and paying hookers in almost every episode in the first 3-4 seasons.
  11. The set up will be interesting. Feges Spring Branch has a patio and kids play area so they can go crazy while their parents eat and hang out. If they put in soft serve machine + a play area, may God have mercy on their souls. It’ll look Mia’s in under a month. I hope some of their after dinner crowd heads over to Cowboy Surfer for first rate cocktails. We really need that bar to make it on my side of town.
  12. I would have ended Community after Glover left. It’s been endlessly debated in the in the Community thread. I’ll just leave it there. 30 Rock with its joke a minute, rapid fire style could still be on the air. Modern Family went on for so long they most people forgot it was still on the air. HIMYM aired perhaps the worst finale in the history of television, but I think the final season was pretty strong overall. I can’t think of a bad season. Pretty underrated show. The finale probably killed any chance it had at second life on streamers, but I still enjoy watching it. Parks and Rec started off pretty strong, but ended as another comfort food comedy. I never engaged with Big Bang Theory enough to form an opinion on the finale. I’m glad Jim Parsons is on his way to becoming a billionaire. I’m always happy for a local boy makes good story.
  13. 1) Community 2) Parks and Rec 3) 30 Rock 4) HIMYM 5) Modern Family 6) Big Bang Theory I’ll give Community a slight edge over Parks because it wasn’t afraid to get weird. Big Bang Theory’s deal with MAX remains baffling. A majority of their audience doesn’t or can’t use streaming apps and would rather watch reruns on TBS.
  14. Can we claw that Oscar back from Downey? Holy shit this is bad. The congressman sounds and acts exactly like this:
  15. I need to shop at your Spec’s.
  16. My bad on the Duncan spoiler. I thought Momoa addressed it in a previous interview.
  17. I’m just past the Great Ravine/waking up Luo Ji in Dark Forest. The death computer virus is pretty silly. But it’s an interesting to think about what the world might look like in 200 years. Good luck B&W. A lot of weird shit to adapt.
  18. He can play CF, right? What are we fucking doing here?
  19. I have some Pugh fatigue, but she’s more than fine as Irulan. Excited to see Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia in Messiah. Also excited to get Duncan Idaho back.
  20. They’re nice depth pieces certainly. I don’t think either will make an all conference team.
  21. These camera angles on ESPN are a beating. Reminds me of the old school Fox Sports Southwest days where they miss at least 5 plays for game.
