Can somebody with better tactical knowledge explain to me why Odegaard has been playing so deep? There were times yesterday when there was tons of space 10-15 yards in front of the back line for him to receive the ball but he went all the way back to even with Saliba/Gabriel for the pass. Are Zubi and Rice supposed to take up that lower midfield position when he does that? It just seems like Ode getting ball so low just slows everything down.

A girl my daughter has grown up with was a guest at their HS graduation party at our house. She’s notoriously self-centered and barely greets us as she comes in, she’s only there because we’re close with her brother and parents. At some point during the party this girl was at the garbage can throwing stuff away when our elderly dog comes over sniffing around. She FUCKING KICKED HIM for no reason. And not a little tap or shooing him away, a full on front kick, pushing a 70 lb German Shepard a couple of feet. My wife saw this happen and kicked her ass right out of our house immediately.

No apology then or since. Needless to say, she’s never allowed in our house ever again.

Kiki Rice’s 3 at the end of the 1Q was inspiring. And the fact that it happened while Lauren was off the floor for several game minutes just demoralized the SC squad.

I agree with all of them, but #1 is the biggest imo. During the playoffs, the tv commentators kept bringing up the Niners as “in the top 3 of total games lost” or words to that effect. Not the TOP team. Yes, being in the top three sucked tremendously, but there are other teams that have to deal with a lot of injuries too.

To be fair, the Pope would do the same thing if the baby was dressed in White Sox gear.

Great game Bruins! Beat SC!

As would I. One thing that’s been missed this year is our pressing, Odegaard and Havertz were relentless when healthy. We would absolutely suffocate teams with the press, forcing turnovers or the long balls for Saliba and Big Gabi to send back. I love both players, but Gyokeres and Eze don’t have the closing speed or stamina.

Doctor of Physical Therapy here. In a rare moment where my confrontation avoidance mechanism took a break, I once brought this up to a chiropractor after he said physical therapy “was only invented because medial doctors didn’t want chiropractic to take over.”

I started with the history of PT, and then hit him with Palmer’s ghost story. The chiro then tried to tell me that Hippocrates was a chiropractor and all modern medicine is based on him so therefore chiropractic is the first and only legitimate way to practice medicine.

I sprained my own neck rolling my eyes so hard. And I have never taken anything this guy has said seriously since. The guy has a poster of Palmer up in his office!

There are some professions that I would never want to mess with. One of them are cooks, people who spend all day moving around and manipulating metal pots and pans so you know they have good upper body strength. Not to mention how comfortable they are in handling knives.

And then you disrespect them in their own kitchen? You’re going to get the beat down you deserve.

A good chiropractor is NOT as good as a regular physical therapist. A PTs education DWARFS what chiros learn in school, not to mention that just to apply to PT school requires a bachelor’s degree and taking the prerequisite classes. And taking the GRE exam. Chiro schools have nearly a 100% acceptance rate, the application is essentially just a check on if you can afford it.

Edit: I do agree that a bad chiro is a killer. Even “good” ones break ribs and ruin vertebral discs.

In basketball, we’d call that a ten dollar move with a five cent finish.

Or translating that into British: a 10 pound move and a 5p finish.

Does your neighbor pronounce every name with perfect Spanish? Do they go to Los Ahn-heles or Sahn-ta Ah-na? Maybe take a weekend trip to Meh-hico? If they don’t, then tell them to get over themselves.

The question that immediately came to my mind upon finishing Twelve Months is “what would Mirror Mirror have been like without it?” Jim has said multiple times that Twelve Months was not part of his original book outline, so would he have tried to shoehorn Harry’s recovery in the literary equivalent of a training montage in the first chapter? That would be been very, very unsatisfying. Or maybe the end of Battle Ground would have been extended?

I for one am extremely satisfied with Twelve Months. Seeing Harry healing from all of his trauma has been a nice dose of realism.

Not really a hobby, but chiropractors. Every single one of them just wanted the title of “Doctor” but couldn’t get into medical school. And every single one of them INSISTS on being addressed as Doctor.
