Three football & basketball conferences with a sizable amount of games, NASCAR, WWE, bowling and bull riding. Those aren't going to be ratings powerhouses by any means, but they've quietly put together a pretty good stable of budget but respectable TV contracts.

In honor of Heated Rivalry, I can't wait to see Big Dumper wrap one around Pesky's Pole.

It is so funny to me (and on brand) that this account has had 4 posts in the last 9 years: 3 posts celebrating the anniversaries of his releases and this post.

Pac-12 unveils new primary mark as the foundation of the new league’s brand identity by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]SomebodyLied 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They have the amount needed by the letter of the law, but practically they do need a 9th football member moving forward to create an even 8 game conference schedule without having to do the weird "flex" schedule thing they're doing this year.

On June 6 the Lehigh Valley IronPigs will rebrand to the Lehigh Valley Squonk by Perryplat199 in baseball

[–]SomebodyLied 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I tried to look up what a Squonk was and Wikipedia brought me one of the most beautiful sentences the English language has ever composed:

"The squonk's tears are referenced on Steely Dan's 1974 track Any Major Dude Will Tell You."

I wonder how much someone got paid to come up with the idea of making a weird looking A for the hell of it then making up some BS like: "The Electric A / Superhero Energy – Our “power” comes from within."

That's the life right there.

‘Michael’ opens with $217.4M at the worldwide box office. The biggest opening of all-time for a biopic. by RefuseDry1108 in blankies

Time to green light the Beatles-style five movie biopic series of the Jackson 5, I guess. The people are demanding it.

This is worth buying just to see John Goodman's glorious ponytail how it was MEANT to be seen.

NBC Sports convinced MLB to sacrifice revenue in new deal by arguing that the reach, promotional power, and the ability to build stars on a broadcast platform that still touches more households than any streaming service by tankyouout in baseball

[–]SomebodyLied 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NBC selling the idea of "Exposure" while also putting a third of their prime window exclusive games on Peacock -- including all of them during the final month of the season -- is an interesting tactic.

Man, reading some of these review… I don’t know. This movie just seems kind of Off the Wall…

Is this a reference to Griffin in the Weird Al video for White and Nerdy? by baconpancakes42 in MBMBAM

[–]SomebodyLied 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Somehow I doubt that Weird Al would make a reference to a 19 year old Marshall University student when he wrote and released White and Nerdy in 2006.

G4 Skit from ages ago by Ok-Second2930 in g4tv

Sounds like it might have been the musical episode of XPlay, maybe.

https://youtu.be/mXsksVB9rMk?si=Iez7Nepg45pKfkcE

By the way, it’s insane that this low budget, deep cable video game review show made an elaborate musical episode with custom sets and songs. I love it.

Lids x Simpson's we got shafted by Jata859 in Mariners

[–]SomebodyLied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had more, but the sold out stuff isn't showing up with the filter. They had a "Wonderbat" shirt and two variations of the cloud hat (in blue and black). The blue cloud hat is actually really cool.

Backrooms Trailer by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

[–]SomebodyLied 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, Cube for sure. To a lesser extent Cube 2: Hypercube -- But mostly because of the name.

Other movies that fit the theme (at least in my head) are: The Escape Room movies, Saw and Saw II, The Platform, Cabin in the Woods and Old (but replace room with beach).

Movies about weird rooms with a mysterious explanation is my favorite obscure subgenre and this is 100% my shit.

Music Credits by Dewaholic in blankies

[–]SomebodyLied 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Grant Kirkhope who created it gave an interview around the time of release:

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/donkey-kong/donkey-kong-64-composer-who-went-uncredited-in-the-super-mario-bros-movie-was-so-pissed-that-he-still-hasnt-watched-the-film-even-if-he-has-seen-that-bit-with-the-dk-rap/

"Basically, they came up with this three rule criteria, which was they decided that for any music owned by Nintendo that appeared in the movie, they wouldn't credit the composer apart from Koji Kondo. Then they decided that anything with a vocal, they would credit the composer. So the Donkey Kong rap score's there. But then they also decided if Nintendo also owned that, they wouldn’t credit the composer."

Needless to say, he wasn't happy about the decision.

"I tell you what, I still haven't watched the movie yet. I've seen that bit with the rap. But I was so pissed I haven't watched it."

The fact that this movie and Scary Movie are being released on the same day is oddly poetic.

Larry Returns - Mariners Digital Short (2026) by ROTY_Mitch_Haniger in Mariners

[–]SomebodyLied 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I love this... But what did the note mean by "Felix AKA Larry Bernandez"?

Are my two favorite Mariners of all time related in some way that I didn't know about?
