@holland_tom I’m not reading any reviews before I watch the movie, but I can’t think of another director who has earned a greater benefit of the doubt over the past 20 years than Christopher Nolan.
@pdxbrocialite Bill James was obviously at a much higher level in a different sport but I always thought that was a key to his popularity; he never lost his enthusiasm for baseball.
@haralabob@mattkalish@cfrank1319 You auto-delete your tweets? Rats! I remember a few years back when someone asked you how much credit Bryan Colangelo deserved for the Raptors 2019 title. Your response tweet - “Negative infinity” - remains one of the ten funniest things I’ve ever read.
@getnickwright I don't get the notion held by two TV networks that Draymond will work as a replacement for Barkley on Inside the NBA. Barkley brings superstar credibility, charisma, a sense of humour, and enough self-confidence to laugh at himself. Green has none - NONE - of those qualities.
@cselley Halifax went NDP in the 6 federal elections before the Justin Trudeau government. But I’m not sure Avi Lewis would appeal to a Maritime electorate.
@righttimebomani@getnickwright I heartily endorse Wright’s disagreement on Michael Phelps’s high placement. The only swimming stroke that counts is the fastest one, freestyle. Unless I miscounted, Phelps one a single non-relay freestyle Olympic gold. Katie Ledecky won EIGHT.
@colbycosh@Tyson_MLB Backup catcher who hit .220. Managed the Jays for a season and a half finishing under .500 (the team was above .500 in the years before and after). Longtime announcer delivering platitudes and conventional wisdom in a voice reminiscent of Wallace Shawn. What more could you want?
@Patrick774113@haralabob I just checked Cleaning the Glass which strips out garbage time and the Lakers fare a little better, 9th best scoring margin. However, that site still has their expected record at 33-25 which would have them 5th in the conference and 2 games out of the play-in.
@Patrick774113@haralabob Scoring margin for the season has them tied for 9th in the conference. Their strength of schedule has been weaker than the average team thus far and is pretty stiff for the rest of the season.
