  1. I love when "Only One Team" uses a headshot with a different team's cap on
  2. I recently finished "Dispatches" the 1977 book by Michael Herr (incredibly intense) and a lot of the dialogue in FMJ is word-for-word what he experienced covering the war. That includes the quotes above, "Hey little schoolgirl, I'm a little schoolboy too" and "No more boom-boom for this mama-san". Oh and a bunch of the "Come on board for the big win" conversation which is posted a little earlier. FMJ is more based on a different book, "The Short-Timers," but it draws a lot from Dispatches.
  3. Never thought I'd see TV on the Radio but they are back on tour. Played around 75 minutes, great energy still PXL_20250730_013649262.mp4
  4. ESPN "trying to find out what happened" when they have multiple field mics. The announcers kept talking over it when you could faintly hear the guys on field yelling
  5. Didn't know that, but yes George Clooney produced
  6. This was well done. Like the Larry Nassar story, it's shocking and infuriating how many victims piled up over so many years. Really courageous of the many athletes who sat down for painful interviews. The recent OSU administrations have continued to fight legal claims even as the school soars into the stratosphere of athletic and financial success. Jim Jordan is as awful as we already knew.
  7. Don't forget softball
  8. My first thought was, if there was a mostly-safe way to profit from Titanic dives, James Cameron or Paramount would have rolled it out long before some random eccentric rich dude
  9. They can't come out and say "Iowa can't make the CFP without help" or "We need to keep Charleston Southern on our schedule" so instead we get weeks of posturing. Neither B1G (4 guaranteed spots) nor SEC (stay at 8 conf games) has a good argument. At least at this point we're basically having a stare down over whether Iowa or South Carolina makes it in a certain year. Not a ton of money involved either way.
  10. Attendance at bowls and fan travel are the last things they're thinking about. Those get dwarfed financially by the TV rights
  11. Sappy finale but I guess they know their audience. Same reason they were always brief and vague about the Gilead revolution and takeover. Viewers like us on this board would be into that but the show is about the women and their struggle.
  12. 16 of the Eagles' 17 games next season will be against teams who voted to ban the tush push. Of the nine teams that voted with the Eagles, only Detroit is on their 2025 schedule. Seems like they lobbied mostly non-west AFC teams who could force the AFC West (plus Buffalo) to face the tush push and maybe hurt their wild card chances a little bit.
  13. LOL your spoiler is why I turned it off early
  14. Pussy ass haters shut up and send your D-lines to the weight room
  15. Unfortunately women's college softball is a very choke-prone sport. Liberty needed to pile on after 6-0. They're fucked now, next game will probably be a blowout too.
  16. Love this format. Fuck a loser's bracket
  17. Tiger Stadium and Ford Stadium are both (partially) in the official graphic at the top of the page
  18. ^ Same here. I think TWD got so bad, and I stayed with it so long, that it hastened my abandonment of this series. There's probably some really good parts happening, given the acting and cinematography, but not worth enduring even 1-2 weekly scenes that are TWD redux
  19. I hope it comes out they got their negotiating strategy from The White Lotus finale
  20. The word "strategy" didn't enter my mind until watching last night's games. Probably for the best as I would have bombed out with BYU or something if I got cute.
  21. I'm about to be 0-6. Strategy of picking low seeds only works if you pick the right ones.
  22. Bulletin board material! I'll be faxing this to the hotels of my selected teams
  23. Robert Morris @Derka
  24. Agh, I'm still awake so Montana @HornOnTheBayou
