So I’ve come to the executive decision that whatever it is Elon Musk is doing with this site, I don’t really want to be a part of it. So I’m gonna put this feed on ice for the time being (not deleted, just not used). If you want to follow me, I’m on Threads now under my name
The entire The Shinning section of Treehouse of Horror 5. It’s perfect. I can’t see the blood in the elevator scene from The Shining anymore without hearing Mr. Burns saying “That’s odd, usually the blood gets off on the SECOND floor”
@TheChewDefense The late 90s were the worst time for this. Ads for Metallica’s Load album bragged about how long it was. Every nu-metal & No Limit record was 75 minutes long for no good reason
Honestly, how did it take 3 votes for Tarkenton to get into Canton? He held every NFL passing record at the time! Also, the Hail Mary has somehow been undersold as one of the most devastating playoff losses ever. And on top of the loss, Tarkenton's dad died during the game!
Watched E3 of Dorktown: History of the Minnesota Vikings & can't decide on the craziest reveal: Jon saying "We asked former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page" to find out why Page wasn't in on the Hail Mary play or that it took Fran Tarkenton 3 tries to get in the HOF
@theNFLchick @KMJeezy There's actually precedent for this! Socialist organizer Eugene Debs actually ran for president from behind bars in 1920 after being charged & convicted of sedition (he was protesting the US's involvement in WW1)
Dude totally played himself long term. He could have just gone on being a d-list celeb, Twitter poster, hotel grifter & Fox News guest until the end of time. But that wasn’t enough. Now, he basically needs to win the office again just to stay out of jail for the rest of his life
Not trying to temp the fates, more just brainstorming but if the Orioles were to, say, make the playoffs, what’s the rotation look like? At this point I say Bradish, Gibson, Flaherty & Rodriguez but obviously lots can change between now and October
Man, 28 is way too young to go. His career with the Ravens didn’t last long, but he was such a joy to watch in that 2017 season. Loved his Irish dance TD celly
I know sports books are generally not their bailiwick, but @IfBooksPod should definitely do an episode on The Blind Side, which was objectionable even before today for its white savior narrative & the icky way Michael Oher was funneled to Ole Miss
Man, this story is wild. Hadn't heard much from Michael since concussions ended his football career, but I know from Michael's time with the Ravens he always resented the way the movie portrayed him & when they won the SB, Leigh Anne found every microphone available
Former NFL player Michael Oher, subject of "The Blind Side," petitioned a court Monday with allegations that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never adopted him, instead tricking him into a signing a document making them his conservators and enriching themselves.
