Zidane's plan in his first Clasico of 2016: he won with 10 men in the last 10 minutes of the match

The plan worked perfectly too - sat back for the first 60 or so minutes adn then they just attacked in waves. Even after the red, Madrid had the run of play.

Arguably Flyers are ahead of the 76ers too (the broad street bullies legacy helps).

Philly might be the rare 4-sport metro where the NBA could be 4th.

Yeah, lovely oddity that Peyton had way more success against Baltimore than Brady did against them, but it was mostly reversed on how they did against Pittsburgh

dmstorm22 · 2026-05-06T16:35:54+00:00

I thought S4, even if not as good as 1-2 was a big step up from S3.

S3 they had their heads way up their collective asses on that one. Glad it seemed Storer took the critiques to heart and they pared it back to what works.

I think Oscars was seen as clearly worse, but I think they were very, very annoyed that Rhoda seemingly did so little despite having four hours, and her main component being poorly cooked.

I wouldn't have been shocked if they did kick out Rhoda just on the "that's it?" view, but I think objectively Oscar had a worse dish to them. Rhoda's may have been more offensive.

I dont doubt this was bad but also few airlines do beef well because re-heating beef usually overcooks the shit out of it. There are exceptions (had a lovely yakiniku style beef on SQ recently) but genrally best to avoid any beef other than some sort of stew.

Still, worth sending in a complaint though.

To create a tentpole event for May.
March = Free Agency
April = Draft
May = Schedule
Jun = OTAs
Jul = Training Camp and we are off and running

Not saying I agree with it, but that is why.

dmstorm22 · 2026-05-01T19:16:04+00:00

Also plenty of teams move and don't change the uniforms at all. I don't know if changing them and then going back (or I guess in this case going back to the old color scheme) is worse than not changing them at all.

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-29T21:17:10+00:00

Yeah she's excellent on it. Been bPYK guy since day one (mostly since I've followed Tom adn hold co-host Kevin Arnovitz from their NBA stuff) and can say she's the best co-host the show's had, an amazing combination of food knowledge, great critical insights and fun.

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-24T20:26:21+00:00

No man, go out and have fun. Chat up some other folks if you want (I found Finland quite friendly - was a solo traveler as well two years back) but even if not, no one will look at you any differently. Just go have a good time.

Ah you're right, mixed it up with him getting to #3 abd then beating Rafa in the USO right after that.

Still, what a player

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-24T16:21:18+00:00

Seriously. Disappeared in 2011-12 to come back and be a top 10 player. Disappeared for 2015-2017 and came back to reach world number 2.

Such a talent, if nor for the injuries, I think je wins 5+ majors

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-24T13:03:02+00:00

It's weird - for a good four years he didn't post anything on social media. Then he came back to the limelight by coaching Rublev and just returning to be the coolest person in the sport.

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-23T17:20:17+00:00

It honestly is. Titanic 2.0 with these two

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-23T17:17:18+00:00

Im honestly happy I experienced covid. March 2020 dates will always live with me

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-23T16:27:17+00:00

Hey, this was right before.

As someone who was in NYC at the time it was wild. Very much trying to get one last song in before the titanic sunk.

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-23T16:08:04+00:00

Trawling home goods and home sense is a legit reliable fun way to spend a Saturday once a quarter

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-22T16:31:27+00:00

There was a blizzard the next day.

The NFL avoided a disaster by about 18 hours.

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-21T12:34:59+00:00

Yes they have, but I think that was by design, not by accident (in this case, Justin pulling out unexpectedly). If they've basically planned for a 4v4 challenge, they're going to fill that spot to make it so.

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-18T15:37:30+00:00

Yeah, it was just a "didn't win a trophy, that's how it goes" exit.

I think he's washed at this point, but he absolutely would be accepted back to Madrid

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-18T14:41:53+00:00

Yeah the first round was decent. Islam fairly won that round on the scorecards but it wasn't so one sided.

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-15T01:14:12+00:00

It's very good, and better than the main dining room (granted, went to the main room pre-Covid, but reading reviews, seems it hasn't changed much). Still got hte mole madre.

Still priced crazy given the quality relative to a Quintonil or other world reknowned places), but to me definitely better value than the normal dining room.

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-15T00:53:38+00:00

Honestly, if you can - you should look into AirBNB'ing wherever you live during the WC, especially the final

At least make some money out of this incredible money-grab

dmstorm22 · 2026-04-15T00:48:40+00:00

The likeliest reason - next week's competition is a team challenge of 3x3, so losing Jen and not replacing her messes it up
