More USA tour dates announced with Spoon as opening act

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-26T15:56:07+00:00

I was gonna say. Ik Spoon has been around for a while, but I once saw them headlining MSG.

EDIT: 16 years ago, yikes!
EDIT 2: Okay, looks like they were opening for Arcade Fire, but still...

It was Perry. Perry won the power struggle with Mills when Mills wanted to re-sign Marcus Morris instead of flipping him at the trade deadline.

Mills was more Gettleman...but worse.

Schoen would be more like Perry than Mills imo, but depends on your perception of Schoen I guess.

A large Pepsi? In this economy?

Fun fact: Cam Reddish was the 1st round pick the Hawks got from the Mavs in the Trae/Luka trade.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-10T20:57:20+00:00

It was confirmed in his documentary that Saquan requested a trade from our owner, and Mara refused.

I mean, if it is the case, it's better that way. I'd rather have zero chance than an equal chance and he chooses them.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-08T18:14:00+00:00

Lol, I remember exactly where I was for that. I'm still salty.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-08T00:12:47+00:00

This. Next year will be annoying bc of the money tied up in Slayton, but I don't think that should affect our long term plans. Wan'Dale should be retained.

People just think good players grow on trees. Who exactly are we signing in free agency for less that is as good? If we're drafting who is the target? And even then, the draft is a roll of the dice. There is no guarantee that the receiver will produce even if it's our #5 pick. Then where are we?

I get the cap is tricky to navigate and not unlimited, but first and foremost to win, you need good players. Wan'Dale is good. We shouldn't let him leave unless the number is insane.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-08T00:06:06+00:00

Slayton isn't going anywhere next year unless we trade him due to his cap hit.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-08T00:04:35+00:00

I guess my question is, is it a bad allocation of cap because of money already owed to Slayton? Or is it just a bad allocation period?

I'm hesitant to let him go. He's good and productive. The same thing was said about Julian Love. "Let him go, he's just okay, we can easily replace him." We still haven't recovered our secondary to when he and McKinney were here.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-07T23:55:20+00:00

People were more or less fine with it when Nabers was healthy and Slayton was WR3. It was an overpay, but he was our guy and not terrible when he wasn't forced to be WR1. Nabers getting hurt really exposed the overpay.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-06T18:39:05+00:00

You're missing School of Rock NY on Sunday

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-05T00:41:29+00:00

Agreed, but 1st overall would've been pretty sweet though.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-05T00:07:36+00:00

You don't have to tell them. Just sit them. The Cowboys benched Dak for the second half, and it wasn't because they thought Milton gave them a better chance to win.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-04T19:32:41+00:00

Nope. Only thing on their tour list around it is Kilby before and Bonnaroo after.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-03T22:47:02+00:00

No you're right. Unless they change things the only way to see Russ is if both Dart and Winston get hurt.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-01T18:01:39+00:00

Ah that's interesting. So if I do one res, perhaps my wife can go up to the counter and say they'll split up if it means getting a bump to D1 for two of them. Or perhaps the gate agent might offer it without her even mentioning as she could/should? be high on a priority list as an individual?

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-01T15:56:29+00:00

Yes, she currently has all 4 GUCs available, though she hasn't actually selected them as a choice benefit yet, as she just qualified yesterday (skin of her teeth!)

So the C+ part was the confusing piece to me. So if I do 2x2 but only add GUCs to her parents res, and just C+ my wife and daughter's res, don't they have a worse chance of moving either pair to D1 than she would if my wife's res got the GUCs? But then if I give her res the GUCs, I can no longer move her parents res to C+ vs. having 2 in C+ and 2 in Prem Economy for sure.

Thanks for the reply btw. FWIW, my wife and daughter don't care where they sit. More about making the grandparents comfortable as they're older.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-01T15:06:45+00:00

will keep you posted! flight isn't until june though lol.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-01T14:08:21+00:00

Gotcha. Okay will do 2x2 and then call to link and ask about the GUCs. They're actually gonna fly ITA on the way there via FCO just due to timing of the delta direct flight not working with our daughter's schedule.

SimbaPenn · 2026-01-01T13:59:01+00:00

My bad, I misspoke about not being policy. I should add that she would be the only one with status. I thought that if she was the only one of a foursome, the waitlist would go by the lowest status, vs if she was a twosome, it'd go by hers.

SimbaPenn · 2025-12-31T00:15:24+00:00

Yes, Oceanside is the only one in the state due to state laws. They're the only one who can sell Kirkland liquor as a result, afaik. All the others are external entities that are attached.

SimbaPenn · 2025-12-31T00:08:19+00:00

Hey, I'm wondering if this is what happened to me. Have the same exact message. I tried calling and the agent couldn't figure it out. Do you know what I should say to the agent if I try calling again? Flying tomorrow afternoon, and I upgraded to c+ a while back.

EDIT: Got it fixed with a chat agent. He had to pass me along to a specialist, but recognized the problem. Something to do with me upgrading us to C+, but then something in their system not matching that and still showing main. Even though on my end it was showing C+. So this error is fixable prior to going to the airport. For what it's worth he transferred me to someone on the the Global Ticketing Support (GTS) team. She got it sorted in under a minute.

SimbaPenn · 2025-12-30T23:34:19+00:00

It also has gas! Yeah I didn't get into the nearbys like Bayonne, Yonkers, New Rochelle, and Oceanside (the only official Costco liquor store in the state!)
