  1. Looks like Moura lost the Narcos weight and is back in Elite Squad shape.
  2. Thanks for the correction. I don’t think Marvel would be likely to go down that road again, either. These productions are years in the making and I’m sure they were feeling invulnerable after End Game. It’s also telling they haven’t tried to use any of those characters elsewhere, God knows there‘s a ton of them. I thought Love and Thunder was too discordant (Waititi lost the balance) and as a result the comedy didn’t mesh with the pathos. I thought it was satisfactory if too cute and appreciated, too, just the attempt to do something a little more personal to the filmmaker’s vision even if it didn’t wholly work. That said, I can’t bring myself to rewatch it. I am very interested to see where they go from here because I don’t think the most common complaints (“they keep making the same movie” and “you have to have watched 30 movies and 5 TV shows to know what’s going on”) are valid. What I see is a production company intentionally trying to diversify and expand the kind of stories they want to tell and the market is punishing them for it.* *also, they have been fucked by Disney+
  3. Also not shocking but they were pretty terrible at any academic competitions. Silsbee was also garbage except for Mark Henry. Anyway, back to recruiting, I'm not shocked when a guy from there finds College Station more familiar. Austin (particularly now) is just a whole different world.
  4. Jasper is really weird-back when I was in school they were in our district and regularly curb stomped us in any sports where you just had to run fast (particularly football and track). I didn’t realize they had any white kids at all until I went to their high school for an Ag competition (and all of them better fit your description).
  5. It’s fine, don’t go expecting A+ dining. It’s a great experience in that setting regardless.
  6. Dammit @atomheartbevo, you are too fast for me!
  7. I thought he was the co-author of the Bernstein Bears line of children’s books.
  8. Not to defend Nahlin, but that appears to be the business model. The same has been said about OB, 247, hell we have two whole threads mostly about Liucci lying to patrons.
  9. You keep saying that like filling potholes is some kind of partisan issue. I’ll think you’ll be surprised by his willingness to take public positions opposing them now that he’s in a position to profit from it and far more shielded from their disfavor.
  10. Their roster actually looks a lot like ours might after 2025 and with only Altuve and Yordan left. Stars and scrubs.
  11. You might be right but to play devils advocate, Bobby and Gerry have done probably countless radio spots with imbeciles like Chad Hastings. I don’t think they are too proud to talk to Ian Boyd. In my fantasy world this was driven by Nahlin insisting that Gerry and Bobby join his Amway team and they’ve been gently rebuffing his overtures for years and finally got too sick of it.
  12. With who? Everyone in media is in staff reduction mode. He's already been at ESPN and CBS, he ain't going back to OrangeBloods. I presume this means national with On3 but Nahlin would have written something like "he'll still be contributing to InsideTexas but as a national correspondent".
  13. If Nahlin wanted to write a “we’re still friends” post I don’t think it would have been that one…
  14. I was under the impression that Bobby was one of the On3 owners. Gerry seems to get restless wherever he goes.
  15. Just as a lark I went through the Dodgers roster, current payroll, and then Fangraphs prospect list. A few observations: 1. For as touted as their minor league system is by prospect writers, they don't appear to be developing replacements for departing MLB players. Most of their prospects are also older. 2. Speaking of old, what's left of their lineup is pretty ancient. 3. Signing Ohtani is unlikely to be their last move and then need several starters. Isn't that what we just heard about the Yankees?
  16. Wow, that contract is nuts! I’m actually kind of impressed that the Dodgers are willing to risk that much.
  17. Same here--I used to make my own dough in big batches with the stand mixer, freeze it, defrost and let rise minimum 3 days, etc. Now I can just buy Trader Joe's for $1.50 a dough day off and it turns out excellent or let it sit in the fridge for four or five days and it's even better. Whole Foods dough (at least in Austin) is even tastier but it's a lot harder to work with.
  18. That's another thing I like about New Orleans--there's lots of great options at different price points. Way too frequently in Austin good=expensive.
  19. That was my take on it, too.
  20. Let’s be frank, there’s nowhere in Louisiana where you aren’t taking some risk with your health.
  21. I actually did a rewatch a few months back and it was better than I remembered it. I appreciated that Chao tried to do something different within the framework of the Marvel method. For me, Ant Man 3 takes the prize for worst. And it’s not terrible as a film, but it’s a bad Ant Man film and as a sequel to the first two.
  22. MBS seems fairly stable, at least, knock on wood.
  23. First off, if you’re not working toward’s a Galatoire’s Friday lunch you are missing the experience of a lifetime. No reserves, you have to get a line sitter. Also, I never see it mentioned on any top lists but I’ve always had good luck dining in the bar at the pelican club if I didn’t manage a better NYE reservation.
  24. That's because all of this is private sector. The website was set up amongst the credit bureaus (who are the ones selling your information to shit lenders) in order to force the consumer to deny permission for them to sell it. Another way of looking at it is they are doing this to avoid more intrusive regulation (like the kind that @Wulaw Horn and our own executive team is lobbying for). Regardless, they require the same information we do in order to match a person against the credit bureau's databases. No pressure, though. If you or someone else would prefer the solicitations that's your right as a consumer.
  25. Right now the pitch is he can start as a freshman on both defense and offense.
