This is …. And I don’t say this lightly…. The single greatest piece of writing I have ever seen in my life
The Japanese have discovered unlimited chips & salsa and it’s beautiful
Mamdani on the viral "my mayor's Muslim" Knicks fan: "Thanks to him, there are a lot of people who have just been running up to me over the last few weeks just shouting, 'My Mayor's Muslim!' I said, 'It's true. I am.'"
Ben Affleck says The Town’s coldest cop scene came from a real bank robber in prison
"for The Town, I went through all the prisons... Massachusetts federal prisons, state prisons, and sat down and talked to guys who robbed trucks and banks"
"after talking for two hours, I was like, is anything just fucking weird ever happened? and one guy said, we robbed this truck, we had the mask, we got the switch car"
"we pull up, we get out, fucking guns, the masks, whole thing... we look over and this cop's sitting there doing construction duty... he looked at us, we looked at him, he looked the other way... he didn't want to end up on the wall at the VFW"
"I was like, I'm putting that in the movie... that's straight from research"
Actually, the NCAA can very easily prevent Brendan Sorsby from playing lol
All it takes is one statement that reads “if Brendan Sorsby so much as plays a single down for Texas Tech, not only does Texas Tech forfeit every game of that season but their entire athletics program is permanently barred from competing for NCAA Championships in any sport.”
They could put that out there with about two minutes of work, and then enforce it by simply never allowing Texas Tech to be selected for the CFP or NCAA Tournament in any sport ever again.
Beyond a bunch of oil barons and the few thousand people who rely on their money in West Texas needing to find a new hobby, there’s absolutely zero downside to this. Sometimes, there just needs to be a sacrificial lamb. It’s called a deterrent. And when someone disrupts the natural flow of society badly enough, you need to hold a public execution to remind the masses that the very idea of law and order still exists. College sports will survive just fine without the presence of a historically irrelevant athletics program that’s third fiddle in its own state.
