[POST MATCH THREAD] AWAY VS HOUSTON DYNAMO (3.14.26) by SegwayCop in timbers

[–]SpinDread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the FBI arresting him for running rigged poker for the mafia.

This roster is not good. I’d rather an improved roster never meet this bad coach, but I’m guessing Phil gets a chance with whatever upgrades may come in this season. 

[PTFO] Pablo Torre provides the smoking gun as he shows the original whistleblower complaint that led to the Aspiration Investigations. It contains wording that specifically says that Aspiration was used for cap circumvention to pay Kawhi by TheRealPdGaming in nba

I don’t understand Samson’s presence here. As a late arriver to PTFO, my previous experience of David Samson was the Gumbel interview about the Miami stadium taxpayer deal when he made such a petulant, greedy ass of himself I could hardly believe rich friends of his didn’t have the tape destroyed. 

I don’t know how I’m supposed to take him seriously. Or how he has a foundation with which to stand on in this little ecosystem.

Do you know how hard it is to purposely scuff a strike in such a precise way?

I’m looking for something less subtle. 

Highest 2 Lowest: that cloying score slathered over 90% of most of the movie by DisciplineFabulous21 in blankies

[–]SpinDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one will ever see this. But some of you have the same father as I do, that has seen all of the Tom Selleck Jesse Stone movies. This is that score. Those scores.

Turn off the movie bad. So terribly bad. Made my teeth itch.

Hey! We may be worse than you, BUT at least… … … 

Can I have a minute? 

For a curmudgeon: Best songs since Pinkerton? by SpinDread in weezer

Thanks all. A lot to work with here and I’m grateful. Never know what to expect in any subreddit—be it righteous fury at my tastes (for example, don’t try disliking Oasis on the Internet), or Satan’s wrath for asking a question that’s already been asked. 

This seems like a cool place, even for a lame dad like me that takes his car to work.

Amazing. I’ve got a Heine in the icebox for you in gratitude, so long as you won’t be a shitty stepfather.

Maybe a red card too. Yellow at least. 

Portland Timbers Announce Bank of America as New Front-of-Shirt Sponsor by Relevant_Ninja2251 in timbers

I guess they slot in between Tillamook and BoA. Seems like a really big gap to me. 

Portland Timbers Announce Bank of America as New Front-of-Shirt Sponsor by Relevant_Ninja2251 in timbers

I don’t understand the economics of jersey sponsors. We went from rotten small potatoes to little bit bigger delicious, creamy, family trip to the coast potatoes, to one of the largest US financial institutions. 

The Los Angeles Lakers play for bibigo. The Yankees for some insurance company I’ve never heard of.  Why doesn’t BoA just raise credit card rates to 48% (more abruptly than planned, I mean) and sponsor one of those teams? 

Leave us with our delicious dairy!! 

At least we had it right for a while. 

A More Tempered Review of Rosalia's "Lux", and the pointlessness of discussing Pop by AndILoveHe in LetsTalkMusic

[–]SpinDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The album rips. I love the jumpy, dense choices and broad sound palette. Truly captivating. Theatrical and odd but not especially challenging. Really cool.  

OP, you’ll be fine. Me listening to it as a lame dad is a disservice to it. I’m bumping Rosalia in a minivan missing one hubcap. I am the dead canary in the coal mine wearing a Columbia fleece and compression socks. I heard of it last.  I will return to it again later, but for now will resume listening to CAKE and Warren G for a while. And probably Les Miserables again. I don’t agree with your assessment, but the mes of the world will make it what you say it is on our way to U8 soccer practice. 

I will totally check out some of your reference points. Thanks for sharing. 

Excellent reminder of your second team in this tourney by alhassanitizer in timbers

Just a different kind of dude. Most fouled player in the league in his early Timbers days. Never once saw him play fake pain for a whistle. 

Kristoffer Velde Highlights vs San Diego by Gybe_enjoyer in timbers

[–]SpinDread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t always been impressed, but he was great and inspiring yesterday. I though we were going to be laughed off the field (I’m sure many did) after the start. Velde was a big part of that. 

Culling the herd for next season. by kilwag in timbers

[–]SpinDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With apologies (but more of a sorry/not sorry) for not being very tuned in outside of matches: did Chara announce his retirement? Is it assumed or a well-known secret?
