  1. Not sure what to make of Wendy living in a van at Cracker Barrel. Sad deal. 

    A few weeks ago, went out to West Palm Beach to visit some friends. They live one block from the Howard Stern compound and have seen Beth out exercising but no Howard. I had no idea he lived out there. His place is a super compound. Nothing but massive trees. Kind of weird knowing Howard was just a block away in his basement pleasuring himself to babysitter porn.

  2. Anybody follow Stars prospects? 
     

    Went to my first Texas Stars game tonight being in Austin. Texas scored with 1.4 left in the game against Iowa and then scored on a breakaway in OT. Crazy finish. Impressive game day experience from the organization. 
     

    Impressed with Riley Tufte. 6’6 winger with great hands. Interesting project for Dallas. Too bad he can’t find more of the back of the net.

  3. Nomadland - loved it and think it's the best I've seen this year. Maybe a toss up with Minari. 

    Have heard lots of people complain about the slow pace of the film but I think that captures the monotony of life on the road. Lots of boredom and loneliness. Really well made

  4. Watched 'Minari'. Good work. Does a great job portraying the immigrant experience....although the local Americans were a little over the top.....but turn about is fair play, I suppose, with stereotypes. Appreciate how it showed the crap work immigrants have to do. Like someone told me a long time ago.....'It doesn't matter what you did before you came here. When you come to America, you go to the back of the line and start all over'.

    The trailer to Nomadland looks fantastic. Hitting it next.

    I think the only time I laughed was when they were in the barber shop.

    Agreed. The 'flashlight' line was solid. The only other time I actually laughed was the James Earl Jones line 'THIS....is ZNN'. I don't know why....but that garnered a chuckle.

    I always like hearing the stories of old time hockey. The culture has changed quite a bit, but you'll still run into guys in beer league that can put them away like it's the 70s.

     

     

    Thanks for posting. Good stuff. 

    I keep in touch with several guys that played for the Dallas Black Hawks at the ol Fair Park. Gonna share this one. I miss old time hockey.

  7. Oddly enough, those uniforms didn't look bad in person (from a distance) but looked horrendous on the fans wearing them. 

    I'm old school. Have a home sweater and an away sweater......get back to normal numbers (2-7 on defenseman, 8-19 on forwards, 1 and 30 on keepers) and play the damned game. (I know, so many retired numbers.......but how many 57's and 82's and 49's does Detroit need? Are you playing right wing or right tackle?)

    Those guys lived a pretty miserable existence in the bubble without friends or family for months and brought us all a ton of sports joy in a miserable year.  

    I know what you're saying and it looks 'miserable' on the outside.....but when you're on a hockey team with great chemistry and making a run at the Cup, your teammates are your friends and family. These guys are going to look back at this years from now and remember it as one of the highlights (and lowlights) of their life.  

    When you're on a hockey team with a great group of guys, you carry that the rest of your life. 

    As Fred Shero once said 'Win today, we walk together forever.' Even with a loss, these Dallas players will have a bond from here on out. 

    This was a great run.
