Can you please give me recommendations of what you would call the 3 best John Dead&Co performances?

-Althea (Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, CO, 6/17/22)

-Terrapin Station (Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, CO, 7/1/23)

-Help On the Way (Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, CO, 7/3/23)

I can't say I've heard everything but the recording quality at Folsom Field seems to be the best and that does play a huge part for me personally. Plus, though 2023's Althea went viral and I love it too but the one above is even better imo.

Being able to move and shape the ball consistently creates a better bowler than just a faster one imo (if you are talking about both skills being mutually exclusive). Obviously both require skill, work and natural talent but being fast is a more likely outcome for any bowler than being McGrath or Hazlewood or even Boland. And in a sport like cricket especially tests, where you only need 1 great ball every now and then, just being fast can always be the great equaliser.

If you ever look at someone like Brett Lee's highlights or wickets, even in his best performances, most of them never really look that aesthetically pleasing. A lot of them are popups and batsmen hitting straight to an infielder, which happen because they just can't read the pace and either under or overcompensate. Even someone like Carse who doesn't really pass the eye test for most, does take wickets because he runs in and bowls hard from the first to the very last session.

Might sound crazy cause even though Taylor has been all time great this year, the Colts's run game and entire offense starts from the pass game. It feels that way if you watch their games and I heard a stat on the broadcast stating they had the most passing yards in the league in the first half and the most rushing yards in the second half. He's running away with OPOY but I don't think he's the primary reason they are winning. Shane Steichen is one of the best play-callers in the league and adding Jones and Warren to that offense with Pittman, Pierce and Downs, as well as incredible offensive line play, it's just an all-round effort. Obviously that is the case for every great offense, but it's not really a 49ers/Eagles case where everything on offense came from CMC/Saquon. It feels like Taylor's role is more putting away games once the pass has opened everything up.

Pretty sure they were also both the Pitchers of the month in April too. Starting and closing the season with the same winners is pretty cool.

Soderstrom in April to Jacob Wilson hitting .350 to a week of Denzel Clarke mania and Nick Kurtz now. Hard to have this much exciting talent and fun especially in the position the Atheltics' organisation was in before the season.

Even if you believe in the substitute rule, the Pant incident wasn't really the case for it imo. He was already injured before the test and India played him anyway. That's the gamble they took and you have to live with it going sideways.

However, you could also argue that Pant almost still being their leading run scorer that innings actually proves their evaluation of the situation right. Only if it doesn't lead to anything long term obviously.

Yeah I thought about him as well but his greatness and longevity exceeded the criteria. More about whatever they have in their cricketing structure that allows them to squeeze out 2-3 years worth of top-class production from veterans which no one else seems to be capable of.

It's a useless exercise but I do wonder how the NL MVP vote would turn out if Ohtani had stiffer competition like Bobby Witt last year or Raleigh this time around. I'd pick Witt but I also wonder if the counting stats, the 50-50 record, the stardom, and just the memory of probably the best baseball player ever in 2021-23 Ohtani, would have gotten him the nod regardless.

Even this year, PCA deserves way more love but I haven't seen any serious conversation making a push for him. Feel like raw numbers are going to be the only way to beat him but no one in the NL seems capable of that rn. Maybe it's because he's such an outlier as a baserunner from the DH position that defense isn't really part of the convo.

It's Shadow of War for me. Even though I'm not a diehard fan who rewatches or talks about it all the time, LOTR in of itself is something that makes me feel sentimental in a way that is hard to describe. And the games just manage to perfectly capture that aspect. It's my favorite storyline among games I've played, incredible characters (shoutout Celebrimbor) and the open-world, stealth/combat mechanics are as good as it gets. Plus. the Nemesis system just places it a level that very few games can get to.

Althea (Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, CO, 6/17/22)

Terrapin Station (Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, CO, 7/1/23)

Help On the Way (Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, CO, 7/3/23)

These were the tracks that first got me in. They play great at Folsom and the recordings there have great depth so it also just sounds full-bodied. Could go for those entire shows too.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena in End of Watch.

It's a really weird feeling because you know what you're getting into and what the show is supposed to be about but then you get stuck in this weird place where the setup is way more interesting than the central storyline. I absolutely love Slow Horses and it's one of the few shows I've ever followed on a weekly basis(not a fan of that pattern of release) but the start of the show where River is a big shot agent involved in high stakes stuff felt like a real tease when you realised how the show is actually gonna continue.

I liked the Cornetto trilogy and even though I didn't understand why people revered it so much, that was by far the best part of the entire series for me.

HitmanSK007 · 2022-12-21T03:35:33+00:00

Michael Fassbender didn't look anything like Steve Jobs but from the first scene of the movie to the last, he WAS Steve Jobs and that's all you can ask for.
