  1. Haven’t looked it up, but I feel like at least one First Four winner has also won in the round of 64 most if not all years of the current 68 team format, including several that have made it to the sweet 16 or beyond. Not all that surprising I guess considering all but a handful of tourney games are basically toss ups.
  2. Finally watched the season. Enjoyable show and very pretty to watch. By which I mean the 4K golf footage, but especially the WAGs. Also I generally like Amanda Balionis on broadcasts, but her use in this show is just to plainly state the obvious of each episode’s story in a concise and high energy fashion. I get it from a storytelling perspective of creating the show to appeal and make sense to a wider audience, but it’s annoying to me. And Zach Johnson is a loser.
  3. First two eps available now, new ones every Friday I believe. Liking it so far. A few bits of dialogue that felt slightly too modern but the production quality is good. Tobias Menzes is a great actor. I’m definitely a sucker for period pieces as well as assassination history.
  4. Hunter’s two open 3pt attempts this half have barely drawn rim
  5. That was damn good TV. Clearly a fair amount of time passed (somewhere up to six months). Wondering what Toranaga was up to all that time.
  6. This thread has been a bit of a roller coaster with reviews from ep to ep of “classic curb” to “jumped the shark”. I’ve enjoyed them all but the latest one was easily the weakest. I still laughed. It’s a silly show, so everyone’s mileage will vary and some bits are gonna hit more than others and some are gonna fall flat. Haven’t looked to see how many eps are left this season but glad to have it going as long as we do. Though they’ve said it’s the last season, I’m not convinced they won’t run it back at some point.
  7. Slight surprise but quite deserved for Emma Stone. She bought a house in tarrytown a few years ago. No idea if she ever spent any time there. But we used to party in its pool house in high school #csb
  8. I remember them doing it once or twice before. 2009 or so with Hugh Jackman hosting comes to mind for some reason.
  9. Nice speech from Nolan. Can’t wait to see his next film, whatever it may be.
  10. Or, with three awards left and 30 minutes, could the show finish early for the first time in ever?? (With an asterisk since it also started early) Answer: Of course not since they can throw in the “coming up…” interstitial at any time if needed
  11. 20 Days in Mariupol is available on the PBS app (for now at least). Very tough watch but worth seeing.
  12. Didn’t seem like he did. Pretty overplayed and low-hanging fruit. Kimmel should have had better material for RDJ. Watched Poor Things this afternoon. Enjoyed it. So now I’ve seen all the BP nominees except Zone, Anatomy, and American Fiction. Liked all I’ve seen with the lowest being Maestro but Oppenheimer my clear BP pick.
  13. First two eps of Three Body Problem premiered at SXSW tonight and review embargo is lifted. I’ll definitely watch, but with tempered expectations. All eight eps out March 21
  14. Yeah the article says the NCFAA tried to negotiate a higher rights fee, saying their former inclusion in the games was undervalued. EA balked and will just put in their own generic awards. Small bummer, but not really that significant to the dynasty mode experience. The Heisman is operated by it's own entity so could still be in the game. Though I can only imagine the arrogance that group displays at the negotiating table.
  15. Mariko speaks the truth “Pillowing is necessary to good health. The moment of the clouds and the rain is as near to heaven as they can get.”
