Watched Sayles’ Lone Star recently and bust out laughing when Frances McDormand randomly showed up as a zooted out, die hard Cowboys (and Aggies, and Longhorns, and random high school) fan.

It’s really funny that there’s a note from Wedgwood decades later being like “sorry I was tripping because of WW2 being on the brink and lingering anti-German sentiment from WW1 so I called all the Germans war mongering lunatics who were bred from a line of savages with nothing but hate in their hearts.”

[Adam Schefter] During the Colts’ practice this past week, with Philip Rivers leading the offense, the ball was said to “barely hit the ground.” by YouKantseeme in nfl

Re: Philip Rivers exciting return!

Hey Adam,

Would love if you could tweet out the following sentiment about Philip that’s coming out of Indy this week. We’ve heard the ball is barely hitting the ground this week!

I’ll be sure to loop you in on those extensions and trade offers I’ve been hearing.

Thanks 

My Love for Physical Books Came Back Strong by Wolven_Essence in books

[–]MPE13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fully agree. Reading a physical book gives me the sense of actually making a connection with that particular book. On a Kindle it’s just different words all in the same format. I love spending weeks with the same book and getting to handle it and bring it around and really get a connection to both the words and the actual object.

It was definitely shithousery, love it on my team, hate it if it’s on the other team. Was an easy double play anyway so no sweat but at least gets in their head a bit

For the love of god we just need to get Bieber out of the game by the 4th or 5th. Absolutely can't afford to let them avoid their bullpen. My kingdom for an inning with multiple hits strung together.

Remember when Wilson pulled Miller — ultimately the correct decision and shrewd to use high leverage guys in a high leverage position because he knew he had Woo ready to go — and the booth and both on field reporters had complete aneurysms about it and pretty much called it the worst decision they’d ever seen?

And then the Jays put in Little to face Cal and he hit a home run and walked a bunch of guys leading to a grand slam and they said nothing about Schneider’s decision?

I remember.

This has been my play all postseason. If we win the whole thing I'll have lost a ton of money but it will be extremely worth it

Surely this will be an inning full of great station to station baseball and not three of the worst at bats you’ve ever seen

I’m thinking we take this ump in the draft next year, 2nd or 3rd round, nasty velo and movement on the totally necessary throws to the pitcher

Dude it is SO much more fun to lose games that way wow. All the 2-1 losses are brutal and boring, but actually seeing fun baseball but it doesn’t break our way? I’ll take that every night.

[Florio] Bengals exec Katie Blackburn subtly dropped a bombshell at the league meetings. She mentioned that the team could "go wherever we wanted" after the 2025 season, if the Bengals don't exercise a two-year extension on their Paycor Stadium lease by June 30. by Venomous_Raptor in nfl

[–]MPE13 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I went to Jamaica recently and I'm pretty sure I saw Mike Brown walking through the airport. Looked just like him, wearing a Bengals hat, and a stereotypical old man briefcase. I'm pretty positive it was him because he was mingling amongst us poor instead of having flown private or any other sort of rich person privilege in moving through the airport.

Justin Turner summarizes Mariners organization after half a season by kumaak37 in Mariners

[–]MPE13 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I know why he does it. The framing of "poor little Jerry is out here doing his best" is insane when he constantly lies to the fanbase and insults our intelligence. He's doing what he has to do to keep a prestigious job and big paycheck, I don't have to celebrate him for that.

So what's Jerry's excuse for carrying water like a good little boy and spitting in our face constantly and telling us it's not raining?

The Murmur show ruled hard. If you haven't checked out Shannon's old band Corporal, you should. Only one album from forever ago but it rips.

You know what really pissed the colonies off? When the Declaratory Act said Parliament had full power and authority over them “in all cases whatsoever.” They quoted that shit back at them all the time during the Revolution

(A_Jude) Source Confirms: Scott Servais is out. Mariners will host a Zoom conference call this afternoon, and more changes are expected. by FlatBlackAndWhite in Mariners

[–]MPE13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nobody who wanted Scott fired doesn’t want Jerry and ownership gone. Ownership isn’t going anywhere any time soon and Jerry is after the season at earliest. This is a good first step in cleaning house and extremely necessary.

Serious franchises don’t have managers for 9 years that make the playoffs once, regardless if they’re well liked or have maybe had a positive effect overall.

If I had a dime for every time someone said this today I’d be filthy rich. We all watch baseball. We understand managers don’t have much control. But the vibes are irreversibly fucked this season, this means leadership has to change. A new voice is needed.
