  1. One more thing.  (I was explaining this to my wife watching the doc.)

    You've seen the picture of the building thousands of times but you don't realize that the whole part of town was blown to hell.  Probably a 10 square block radius. Saw this in a recap story:

    In the weeks after the blast, a survey determined 330 buildings were damaged, another 15 were destroyed or needed to be torn down, and that repair costs would top $150 million.

    Probably one of the first real bad news events I remember watching on TV as a kid, very wild that it's been 30 years. Been to the memorial a couple times and went to a wedding at St Joseph Old Cathedral across the street about 10 years ago. 

    Watching the Hulu doc, they had the raw footage and what I remember was the local TV stations just running that live, raw footage literally all day.  That's kind of surreal looking back but you'd see blood, gore, everything.  My wife was surprised when I told her that.  We were all glued to the TV for days.

    Memorial is beautiful and museum is fantastic but prepare yourself if you go through it as it gets quite dusty towards the end when you see the victims list. 

    I've heard only excellent things about the museum.  I don't need to go but if someone wanted me to take them, I'd go.  I just don't know if I could make it through because of the people I knew on that list.

    I can't make it past the fence line that they kept.

    There's one releasing on Netflix soon. 

    From what I understand, that one is more about Tim McVeigh and he's not that interesting of a person, quite frankly.  The Hulu/Disney doc is from National Geographic and it's about the stories of the people involved.

  5. I almost never watch any documentary about the Oklahoma City bombing.  (I don't need to.  I was there.)  To this day, I've only been to the memorial twice and have never been to the museum, which I hear is fantastic.  

    However, the doc on Hulu and Disney+ got great reviews and with the 30th anniversary coming up on Saturday, I decided to give it a watch.  Highly recommend this.  It gets current interviews from all the people involved from Clinton, Keating, to the people on the ground.  Also a lot of raw footage that I remembered.  

    TBH, it's a tough watch but a great watch.  At the 30 year anniversary of anything, the only people that remember are the people too old to forget.  

    I put this here and no the TV board or god knows the CR because I want it to be a wide ranging topic for discussion.  If you haven't watched it, please do but better yet, watch it with your kids.

    If you're under 30, you weren't even alive. The only people that remember something at the 30 year mark are people who are too old to forget.

    I mean, fuck OU, they're obviously our big blueblood rivalry, but you're proving his point - the last majorly hateworthy thing you mentioned was almost 20 years ago. I was in high school, and our current players were barely born. A&M manage to do something cringeworthy and annoying related to us every other week.

    Yes, the "hate" is ancient history.  Whenever I go to the game in Dallas, I sit on the 50 yard line, which is always intermingled with fans from both sides.  There's not hate at all.  Good natured ribbing, yes, but it's not the 90's when people were getting into fights in the West End.

    Last time I sat next to a guy whose daughter went to Arky and we had a good chuckle about that and our unholy trinity of fandom.

    They would be a nightmare matchup, even if OKC is too good.

    Hell, I bet OKC doesnt' want any part of the Mavs regardless. They won't say it, and their fans would be too cocky to admit it...but Dallas  has no fear of OKC even when hurt(they won 3 of 4 this year, and the only one they lost was the only game Luka played against them in).

    No way the Mavs shock the world...but I could see a hard fought 4-2 series.

    Part of it has to do with how PJ Washington plays like first team all NBA whenever they play.  The biggest difference would be instead of having Dort guard Luka, he'd have guarded Kyrie.  Now he'll guard Klay.

    But I think a fully healthy Mavs team would have taken OKC to 6 or 7 games.

    Klay doing his best to redeem himself from last year's play-in performance against Sacramento. 

    Mavs would actually be a kinda fun, dangerous team had Kyrie not gotten hurt. Obviously, not nearly as good as they could be with Luka.

    With all they've been through this season, I still expect them to beat Memphis and make the playoffs.  (Memphis just isn't that great.)  Could be wrong, though.

    To your point about Kyrie, though, a fully healthy Mavs team was probably the worst matchup for OKC.  That's just a big team.

  9. I don't even know where to start with this:

     

    Musk refers to his offspring as a “legion,” a reference to the ancient military units that could contain thousands of soldiers and were key to extending the reach of the Roman Empire. 

    During St. Clair’s pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in other women to have even more of their children faster. “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” he said to St. Clair in a text message viewed by The Wall Street Journal, “we will need to use surrogates.” 

    He has recruited potential mothers on his social-media platform X, according to some of the people.

    Hell at one point Arky was probably our biggest rival in football.

    Arky and Iggy hate Texas far more than OU does.

  11. Just because someone is a rival doesn't mean you hate them.  The hate (if there's any left) that OU and Texas have for each other is a fraction of what it used to be.  The schools and fan bases have found each other to both be rational players unlike some of the others.

    Jok would never go 30/5/5 with OKC's roster.  He'd be 25/12/15, though.

    In this scenario, we're saying you should never win MVP if you're on a good team.  If you're on a good team, of course you have a good roster.

    SGA could average 50 if he wanted to.  Then again, so would Jokic.

    I fucking love the interlude episodes. The more Jennifer Nettles, the better 

    I always love the Jennifer Nettles episodes.

    Also, the casting, wardrobe, and acting of the kids as teenagers was 100% on point.

    When Bill develops dementia will we even know. 

    He said Jokic should get MVP because Shai has a better roster but then struggled to say whether Jalen Williams should be All NBA or Dort should be DPOY.

    on Bloomberg this morning a guest from Kentucky was talking about how all the bourbon producers are about to take it up the ass when the rest of the world quits buying the huge amount of bourbon aging and in storage.  Apparently the craft cocktail movement got everybody’s Jimmies rustled so producers started maximizing product volume.   A supplied demand problem was already looming, but Canada and Asia and foreign markets not buying bourbon might put a fork in it.

    Given that the Turtle and Rand represent Kentucky, this does not displease me. 

    More for me...

    The Champion’s Dinner is going to suck next year compared to this year. Is there any good food in N. Ireland other than a proper chippy?

    I like all the food Scheffler had but that menu read like a menu from a Texas Roadhouse.

  17. I guess I didn't realize the Suns had the highest payroll in league history.  Jeez.  I don 't see where they go from here, either.  They've completely ruined Booker's career up to this point.  

    Kuminga with the DNP in the Cippers game.  At what point do we talk about how bad GS has been on drafting and development over the years?  They either can't play of Draymond doesn't get along with them so they ship them out.  He should take more heat for this, actually.  Had they not won the title in '22 (which was kind of a fluke), they'd have wasted the back half of Steph's career.  They had the draft picks, too.

    The Clippers won some games down the stretch but with the exception of yesterday, they were beating bad teams or good teams resting people.  They lost to OKC who was without Chet and Jalen Williams.  Yes, Harden is a fat sloppy mess but he's still rarely hurt at 35 and putting up very solid numbers.  One of the better stat sheet careers in history.  He'll shit the bed in the playoffs, as always, though.

    GSW in the playoffs in is pretty damned funny. 

    They could, in theory, miss the playoffs altogether.  I still think them and Memphis win for the 7 and 8 seeds.

    OKC was a real winner here.  They'll get Memphis, SAC, or Dallas in the first (likely Memphis) and then Denver or LAC in the second.  They push off the Lakers, GS, and Minny into the other bracket.  Those all were a lot more worrisome in a 7 game series.  I think the Lakers come out of that half.

    they set up the course for scoring. they want the drama and it's worked great for them and us 

    It's why it's the best to watch.  US Open has guys struggling to make par.  Masters give us the big shots.

    Only golf tournament that I will watch all year but have watched Masters every year for many decades.

    Same.  I love the Masters and one reason is the drama on Sunday.  That back 9 is all risk and all reward.  Every one of those guys today knew they had to go out and get some shots and the shots are there on that course but the misses are painful.
