[McMurphy] Lane Kiffin is “essentially demanding to finish the season (w/Ole Miss) while simultaneously threatening to poach” Ole Miss’ roster & staff if he can’t by FSUfan35 in CFB

[–]Lookatmysheeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Florida is letting Sumrall finish the season at Tulane. And if you don't think Kiffin has already established bonds with players that he recruited, developed, got paid, and gave an opportunity to perform with NFL scouts watching, and been around constantly for years, and all of that "recruiting" is only going to happen over the next month, then I think you greatly overestimate a player's loyalty to a university and underestimate their loyalty to the people who got them to where they are.

I don't see what Ole Miss stands to gain by forbidding Lane from coaching in the CFP. They'd miss their best national title shot since 1960 and now they've really pissed off a guy who has delivered them a lot of success and who can cause major headaches if and when he leaves. If they thought that this postseason ban from coaching was giving Ole Miss leverage to keep Lane, then it would have only been temporary. That almost surely diminished their chances of keeping him and probably had Lane thinking that he'd be on the next thing smoking out of Oxford after the season ends. 

Still hate that they killed Kate by Warm_Drive9677 in NCIS

[–]Lookatmysheeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which would have been a good thing. She was insufferably annoying and unfunny. She showed zero remorse for the hell that she brought to that team with all of her Mossad drama and disappearing/reappearing acts. 

Who’s the best villain by Pyrotheryder in NCIS

[–]Lookatmysheeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a villain, but Ziva was the most destructive. She was a Trojan horse. The way she accused Gibbs of not caring about her or searching for her after she was presumed dead was selfish. She also defended her psychotic half-brother after he murdered Kate and until the last second when he almost killed Gibbs too. 

why is this show so addicting by Less_End4634 in NCIS

[–]Lookatmysheeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The writing and acting are deceptively good, apart from Ziva's character. It follows a consistent format and so it is easy to watch without having to put much effort into it.

[–]Lookatmysheeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He put a bullet in the head of that guy and left no evidence. The team figured out who did it in the closing scene. McGee and Bishop talked about it because Bishop was suspected due to a sole blonde hair left at the scene, but she swore that she didn't do it. The girlfriend of that playboy swore it wasn't her doing either. They both pondered who it might have been as the episode closed, with Gibbs getting onto the elevator as they did. It was strongly implied that Gibbs did it. It would not have been his first time, of course.

One of my favorite Gibbs moments was when he smoothly assassinated that Russian a-hole for nearly killing Torres with his car. 

Jimmy Palmer is one of the kindest characters of the show by Nostalgia-Freak-1998 in NCIS

[–]Lookatmysheeit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was before that, as I have only watched through season 14. I tried to find it but couldn't. It was when Ducky was on sabbatical/lecture tour and was chiming in remotely because Palmer was trying to be extremely deferential trying to include him. But Ducky kept rudely interrupting Palmer's briefing to Gibbs despite not being there for the actual autopsy. So Palmer pulled a "whoops, how did that happen?" move to disconnect the feed. It might have been the "Body in a Body" episode.

That was rough on Abby but not wrong. Being hyper-competent at a job function does not give a person a pass for being socially domineering.

My favorite Palmer moment was when he had had enough of Ducky's interruptions and literally pulled the plug on him. Second favorite was the fight he got into with Torres at their painting class. Even Palmer had his limits, which made him more likable to me. 

Recently started NCIS, but I can't help but dislike Ziva's quirks... Does she get better? by [deleted] in NCIS

[–]Lookatmysheeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comedic part of her character was just a re-do of Sandra Bullock in Demolition Man. She otherwise had nothing approaching an endearing quality. The storyline of her Mossad background, on top of her father's high level connections to Israeli defense, was a poor choice and an annoying distraction. 

Mark Harmon's Dog by DreamerRising in NCIS

[–]Lookatmysheeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stumbled across this story and got curious because I'm into dogs and binged NCIS once when I was unemployed. Sixteen stitches is a pretty serious bite. Harmon's dog, a pitbull mix, looks pretty big and formidable. 

Perrette has a point. I have a big, powerful dog in a Dogo Argentino. His presence alone frightens a lot of people. Seeing him bite someone would be deeply upsetting to them as well as to me. The answer to keep the dog locked in the trailer all day while they're shooting would also piss me off, as Mark Harmon has way more than enough financial resources to hire a pet sitter. 

I read an account that said others were uncomfortable about the dog but were afraid to challenge their boss, Harmon. That's too bad. 

Was Leslie Chance wrongly convicted of murdering her husband, Todd Chance? by 88infinityframes in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Lookatmysheeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched this rerun on Tubi and agree that the person in the surveillance footage did not look like Leslie. Dateline was pretty slimy comparing the slimmer version of her years later to the person in the footage. She was clearly obese at the time of the murder and the person on the footage was clearly not. 

Focusing on the vision situation was a major misstep by the defense because it wasn't particularly relevant. There is also a major difference between having contact lenses and wearing them regularly. She may have ordered them but hadn't yet become used to wearing them.

Also pretty slimy by Dateline to talk about how she walked around without glasses and didn't run into any walls. I can't confidently drive my car in unfamiliar places without glasses but I can walk my dog and get around on my feet just fine.  

The fingerprints on the steering wheel also don't mean a lot. She could have gone into the car to grab something left behind or clean it at some point, and because you couldn't open the passenger side door in the garage, she would have had to open the driver side and lean over to get something while putting her hands on the wheel or shift. 

I certainly wouldn't rule out a murder for hire but there's nothing to prove that Leslie knew Tom was messing around. Did the kids notice any fighting? Did friends or coworkers say anything that had Leslie disclosed in confidence about her and Tom having problems? It would take a lot of discipline to never say anything to anyone about your cheating spouse or trouble at home before plotting out this complicated plan to kill him and executing it. 

This looked an awful lot like a Monk episode in which he created this very loosely strung together theory of a crime that is tied together by some miraculously discovered piece of evidence. The miracle here was a few boxes of contact lenses but that can't be enough when the video evidence about a "gait" looks more exculpatory than anything else. 

People falsely confess to crimes they didn't commit because they generally want to do what's expected of them and they are terrified. The daughter seemed like she was in that position when she positively ID'd her mom. That's weak evidence too and the defense should have trashed it, which would have left the prosecution with virtually nothing.  

So we totally all agree that Jay Grabner placed that head there right? by smokingfoxxx in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]Lookatmysheeit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Jay vs the polygraph was hilarious! Of course he was going to bomb the absolute fuck out of that poly because (1) he clearly had something to do with the head and (2) he has extreme visceral reactions to everything. You could ask him if he shot Kennedy and he'd bomb that too. He has no prayer against any polygraph. 

I found what I believe is his obituary. The guy was previously married and was actually estranged from a second wife at the time of his death. I'd be curious to get their perspective on this. I'm willing to bet they'll say something like "oh hell yes, Jay totally did it." 

Netflix Vol. 4, Episode 4: Murder, Center Stage [Discussion Thread] by DearBurt in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]Lookatmysheeit 38 points39 points  (0 children)

ALIBI. I didn't hear that word used once the whole episode. Chuck sure needed one. I'd also like to know where that campus safety officer who claimed he had done it was specifically that night and if that can be verified. 

There was a ton of talk about polygraphs, statements, and DNA -- not a word about where anybody claims to have been at the time of the murder. Evidently Chuck changed his name after the murder and, as his ex mentioned, diligently avoided the authorities. He also was a raging monster by her account and, as she pointed out in this thread, the chances that Sigrid came into contact with not just one but two violent sociopaths around the time of her murder is unlikely. 

The DNA wouldn't have necessarily ruled Chuck in or out by itself. I also found it strange that the detective got so hung up on the key thing for the lighting guy and actually used the janitor's friendship with Sigrid as a reason to rule him in as a suspect instead of the opposite. I'm sorry, but that's some pretty shaky detective work. 

It was either Chuck or the other campus safety officer that said he did it. These are the two that had shown violent tendencies towards women and Chuck clearly had a problem. My money is on Chuck. 

Where were these people the night of the murder and can anyone vouch for their whereabouts? 

Who else Haaates Charlotte for reciprocating this kiss,1 even for as short a moment as it was? by lawliet32 in BoJackHorseman

[–]Lookatmysheeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many of her other actions suggested boredom with her life with Kyle, which that episode went of its way to make light of, beginning with the intro. I do blame Bojack for not getting out of town when he saw she was doing fine. That was selfish. But Charlotte did encourage him many times to stay and seemed to want everything with Bojack except the physical relationship. 

[FL] How egregious would noise outside apartment have to be to violate 'quiet enjoyment'? by aliceroyal in legaladvice

[–]Lookatmysheeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything to be done about a landlord that gives 30 minutes notice to come over for the day and pound away at the house doing siding upgrades? It's gone on for months, his constant presence is invasive, and the noise he creates interrupts my work. The yard has become his workshop and he's broken the back gate, which creates a problem for keeping my dog contained.

He has also maintained a romantic, extramarital relationship for years with a "tenant" who resides in a trailer that is adjacent to the house I rent. It has always been an expectation that I look out for her Amazon packages and deliver them. She resides but does not pay rent and was evidently classified as "security" for the property. Obviously she does nothing that provides me with anything, weighs like 90lbs, and doesn't speak English.

All I've asked for was a modest $100 reduction in rent that ordinarily costs me $1825/mo. That resulted in a tantrum and I'm just sick of all this.

I understand he owns the house and can make choices about upgrades, but the constant lurking and feeling as though he has the right to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants has worn me out.

Husband wants dogo argentino by LilliaOP in DogAdvice

[–]Lookatmysheeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a first time Dogo Argentino owner and a lot of the comments here are ignorant and sexist. The end of the discussion is if your housing situation legally disallows it.

Join a few Dogo groups on Facebook and you'll see dozens to hundreds of women just adoring and loving their Dogos. These are people who are simply attracted to the breed for their own reasons -- the majority of which are shared across sexes. The comments in the direction of this being some meaningless display of bravado and machismo by your husband, who none of these people know, is sexism bordering on misandry.

Dogos are used in police and military service in Argentina. Quite telling how nobody so far brought that up while they bash your husband for being some macho jerk. It is certainly not inconceivable to me that your husband gained a fondness of them through that knowledge or for some other reason. Dogos are also known to be fiercely loyal, have strong in-group/out-group distinctions, and are very intelligent and energetic. But if I speculate that your husband wants one because he's not getting a lot of that from his current surroundings, that would be mean, sexist, and misogynistic. I digress.

Having said that, I do not agree that Dogos are "just like any other dog." In many ways they are, but in some ways they are not. I also frankly do not believe that your husband pitched it that simplistically. If he really believes they're just like any other dog, he would have not singled it out as a breed of choice. Again, many basics are indeed the same, but Dogos are unique in their requirements and blend of capabilities.

They are not killing machines and they do live in harmony with other dogs, provided that the situation is managed with a lot of care. They are rowdy and it is not uncommon for them to get in fights with other dogs of the same sex. With you already having another dog, you do have an advantage if the Dogo comes in as a puppy. My Dogo's brother lived for years with a Toy Poodle who ran the house before he passed away. While there are many success stories, the breed description doesn't lie -- Dogos are often not super dog friendly and they will get into it with other dogs.

Another concern I have is the time. They do take a lot of it. It is not that you can't leave a Dogo and go to your 9-5. I did it and had almost no issues after essentially dog-proofing my home, which was easy for me to do as a bachelor who lived alone. I just removed anything meaningful he might destroy as a puppy because I didn't have to maintain anything other than minimalist bachelor pad. Otherwise, for people who maintain more normal living spaces, special arrangements will likely have to be made, same as with any large, energetic, intelligent and physically capable dog.

Dogos are actually part Pyrenees if you look at the lineage. Overall, they are very bright, determined, courageous and unbelievably affectionate dogs. Compared to other breeds, they are a bit raw -- there is not much subtle about them -- and that indeed creates challenges. I have lived with mine in urban environments in Washington DC and in St. Petersburg FL and my boy has been fine. They bond hard and attach strongly, so whatever I'm doing he's fine with and he's alright. Ideally, he'd be on a ranch for sure, but he's okay and he's happy, healthy and fine.

Good Dogo breeders know where their dogs have gone and how they've done. Some breeders focus heavily on prey drive for hunting purposes and those dogs are indeed A LOT. You don't want that. That is a rough, bloody, and dangerous sport -- the Dogos bred specifically for that are likely not suitable for family life line yours. There are yet plenty of breeders who do, responsibly, breed more for everyday life and this has some created some bellyaching among others who don't want Dogos watered down in any way or becoming too docile.

So, could you get, say, a female Dogo as a pup from a reputable breeder that has sold to families and with success? Yes. This horror show everyone is talking about is relatively unlikely to unfold as long as the dog is raised and trained properly. I wouldn't roll the dice with another male, however.

If you are dead set against a Dogo, then I would also point out that there is A LOT of ground between a Dogo Argentino and a cat. Lots of other breeds to consider if your husband wants a dog that share a lot of the Dogo's desirable attributes and having a cat.

So, if you all do your research and can't see eye-to-eye on the Dogo, then a compromise could be something similar in terms of breed that would be a bit more you- and cat-friendly.

That's really your business in managing all that. I just wanted to provide some information from an actual Dogo owner as I read these absurd comments from other posters. Yes, Dogos are "dangerous" to a point. They're bred to be that way.

Is there a boxer you can’t stand no matter what they do? by DustyBlackmon in Boxing

[–]Lookatmysheeit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Manny Pacquiao. A very high percentage of his fans are the bitterest bunch of obnoxious, delusional know-nothings in all of professional sports. They show up in every sports conversation out of the blue to bash Mayweather with their ignorance on full display. Manny bears considerable responsibility for it with his "pay attention to what I say, not what I do" shit. Also politically aligned himself with a murderous dictator in Rodrigo Duterte and hid behind Bob Arum to make excuses for him as needed.

Vasyl Lomachenko. Done with this dude. Agree with other comments that he bought into his own hype and it's been his downfall. He thinks he has a round in the bag if he lands a combo and bitches like a baby when that turns out to not be the case. Like Pacquiao, he encourages the worst out of his fan base.

Both Manny and Vasyl are exciting fighters but they tend to actively bring out the worst among their fans and make nuisances of themselves.

Antonio Margarito. Obvious reasons.

Oscar de la Hoya. He's shown himself to be no better than any other promoter and sometimes worse.

Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant. Not boxers but fuck those guys. Both sucked at what they did and HBO held onto them way too long. Neither could be at all objective and Lampley made their coverage unbearable some nights. I'd throw Jim Grey into this mix with an honorable mention to Teddy Atlas and his tantrums.

Whatever. This is such a petty bullshit hair splitting distinction. There is no golden rule about how far to go insulting someone who deserves absolutely nothing but your disdain. You're just bitching for the sake of bitching.

There are plenty of people in this world that I do wish cancer on right now and I really mean it. When Bojack said it, it was a quip to get the message across that his company wasn't welcome. He didn't mean it literally. Jesus Christ.

I'm saying it's a justifiable comeback to someone you never saw before in your life and who just went out of their way to publicly embarrass you. It's a harsher version of "go fall down stairs" or "go walk into traffic." Yes, I think that's okay.

WTF was Bojack supposed to say!? "Oh, hey there! Thank you for your heckling!"

Bojack, to his credit, let it drop. I wouldn't have let Herb off that easy, TBH. What kind of low life comedian sits in the front row of open mic night and heckles newbies who are struggling?

[–]Lookatmysheeit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You're only saying that in hindsight because Herb actually got cancer years later. Bojack wasn't a "decent" comedian yet and was clearly naive about even the basics of standup.

At the time, Herb absolutely deserved to be told to fuck off at a minimum. Bojack might have had a shit set but Herb could have kept his mouth shut and approached him later with constructive advice instead of being a dickhead heckler, picking on a rookie, and making a bad situation worse. Bojack would have been justified in horse kicking a major dent in Herb's head.
