@v_sospiffy Vince is the attendance usually this low?

@realEstateTrent Within SJ, is it safe to say you are bullish on the downtown Willow Glen area based on your portfolio ?

@LouStagner @ArccosGolf Is there a chance that there is selection bias in this data, and that some 3-wood players are choosing for a reason based on their game, and would be substantially worse off with driver based on their skill with driver at that moment? Agree with the general premise though.

@BreezeAirways My bag never made it to Charleston yesterday on my flight. I have mot received any response from text and email service lines in over 24 hours, and you don’t have a phone number to call. I can’t understand how this is an acceptable level of service. Respond please.

@jdolezar @scuffedpod Sadly, You aren’t going to get nearly enough credit for this sublime tweet.

@scuffedpod @TBRock00 Do we know how this shows up in xG? I’m guessing like 0.3 based just on the shot? My real question: does xG tend to gloss over these low probability majestic passes that set up a much easier finish? Had the feeling this concept may be relevant in CRC game for CRC xG advantage?

@ManuelVeth While not settled, playing Poland/Japan/ Senegal/Serbia in your “easiest” game seems much worse than Saudi/Ghana/Cameroon/Tunisia? I concede this is less of a slam dunk than I thought before looking at latest pots. 1v2, 2v3 seem a bigger delta than 3v4.

[Thomas Phillips @tmphillipsII]

@ManuelVeth Pot 3 vs pot 4 is huge. It does matter.

@Ihartitz How much of the rushing grade is due to fumbles? Granted I have him as a keeper, but I have thought his running has looked pretty decent/average ex fumbles. The YPC seems to be related to a lot of 2nd half game script and time killing, plus tough defenses.

[Thomas Phillips @tmphillipsII]

@JakeAnbinder Good nimby-roasting this.

[Thomas Phillips @tmphillipsII]

@JakeAnbinder Embrace it. Go full atmos.

[Thomas Phillips @tmphillipsII]

@Ihartitz Have to sit one of Ronald Jones, Singletary, Montgomery, or Swift. Am I crazy to lean keeping swift on bench given uncertainty over usage?

@jbouie @armchairsophist @BrandyLJensen Atmos?

@bkeegan Seems plausible that the third dose will produce substantially improved results, given the data from adults? Agreed a huge disappointment given previous discussion assuming early 2022 approval for age 2-5 cohort. Moderna seems further off given lack of approval in older Children?

@coachbenalbert Thanks Coach for all of your contributions and the values you brought to the program. Definitely the most effective pass rush I have seen in my time as a Duke fan during your years. Best of luck at the next stop.

@pragidealist29 I guess my point is that his club production would likely suggest he would not be close to the USMNT roster. However, based on observations outside of club stats, he has been brought into the fold as a starter. I do agree with your Sargent take though; strikers need to score.

[Thomas Phillips @tmphillipsII]

@pragidealist29 I don’t think this works with Musah?

@nilocobau Serious question: isn’t the existing bloated and expensive plan to get BART to Downtown SJ better than canceling and dealing with status quo? In other words, is the plan so bad that building the next few stations is worse than doing nothing?
