@TheRewatchables If we're doing away with the 'nothing older than The Godfather' rule, then bring on Casablanca - can't wait for @SeanFennessey reaction to @ChrisRyan77 recasting Pacino as Rick!
@Graham_Couch There's only one candidate who can unify the board and entire MSU community. Conveniently, his mentor already showed how to successfully transition from football coach to president.
@Graham_Couch Revolutionary coach + all time greatest recruit both bolt because AD inexplicably cuts out program's lifeblood, CGA. Media better put Batt on the spot, as this sure looks like the precursor to cutting the single strongest program we currently have on campus.
@Graham_Couch@KarlyGrahamJRN Evidently you can go ahead & report MSU cutting men's & women's track as all the proposals include buildings on Ralph Young Field.
@chaneykyoto@Timodc Already done but Re-Argo is needed; for a pod @SeanFennessey insists was created solely to give @BillSimmons + @ChrisRyan77 excuse to impersonate Pacino, CR somehow didn't recasting couch Pacino as Tony Mendez: "Hostage crisis?! I just had coffee with Khomeini HALF AN HOUR AGO!"
@Graham_Couch Most loaded region in Tournament history? The top 1 seed top 2 seed top 3 seed, the top 5 seed EVER who nobody had that low, 4 seed with the #1 pick in the draft, and a wildly umderseeded 8 that should have beaten a 1 just two days ago.
@Graham_Couch If all media revenue is going through Spartan Media Ventures and it's a for-profit entity, then MSU's annual payout from the Big Ten's TV deals (and any other proceeds SMV raises) will be taxable income going forward?
A record from 1990 just fell 🚨

@Graham_Couch I wish one of these had been on Scott getting absolutely run over with no call on the inbounder ballscreen with 1 second left in regulation. Brilliant set, and that blatant foul HAS to be called or you're setting a horrendous precedent going forward.
What US city has the largest gap between national perception and reality?
My answer: Detroit
Everyone seems to think it’s a run down hell hole w nothing but boarded up buildings.
In reality:
> Completely rejuvenated downtown w businesses, residential, restaurants, & nice sports venues – Ford Field (Lions), Comerica Park (Tigers), Little Caesars Arena (Pistons & Red Wings)
> One of the best airports in the country – Delta hub w direct flights all over the world
> Tons of history, culture, and classic architecture
> Diversifying economy beyond auto into tech, medical, etc.
> People are genuinely nice but also super tough & resilient
Of course it’s not all unicorns and rainbows. While some parts of the city are making a comeback, others are being left behind.
There’s crime, traffic and all the other things most big cities battle.
But if Detroit has a national reputation of 1/10, in actuality I think it’s more like 7/10.
@PeteThamel Excellent, finally. Now the ACC can move to noon and all four will have exclusive windows, better for both ratings and fans who will watch all of them.
Here’s a Magic Johnson highlight you might never see, because it was ruled an offensive foul.
This is every Giannis drive you’ve seen in transition for 10 years, but 40 years ago it was illegal. Players were discouraged from plays like this. It wasn’t because they couldn’t.
