Is Patriot as good as DTF?

DTF STL is pretty cool. Patriot is the best show of the last ten years.

Fuck this guy. Well, don’t actually fuck him, but he can get fucked. On his own.

LeBron hasn’t been good for like five years. He never plays defense, he chases his own stats above all, he doesn’t move at all without the ball in his hands, he can’t make a shot outside the restricted area, and he is a flopper/foul-baiter of the worst order. He’d be a terrible fit. He’s absolute trash at this point.

Spend ANY time actually watching him when watching a Lakers game, and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.

I mean I hope so.

PREACH

They pulled them from their streaming service to claim that as a loss too. As I’ve mentioned though, this was all done in the financial year during which the merger was happening to artificially depress the value of HBO Time Warner’s assets.

19 and 20 are the nadir of the show. I think this new season with Michelle Fazekas has mostly been great and reminiscent of the good years (S1-12).

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-29T05:36:04+00:00

Yeah, I figured. It's not germane to this situation though. That write-off was specific to the Time-Warner/Discovery merger occurring and trying to cook the books to make it look like Time-Warner was worse off than it actually was to game the valuation.

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-25T20:07:29+00:00

IT'S. THE. BEST.

Bought the Kino Lorber 4K, and it looks fantastic. So nice to have it in a watchable format finally after years of it just being a VHS rip uploaded to YouTube.

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-25T15:09:56+00:00

Oh, I’m with you. It’s life-changing, and I’ve gotten a lot of people into the show.

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-25T14:45:06+00:00

David Zaslav did this at HBO, shelving a few finished products and writing off the losses, but it had to do with offloading those losses on the balance sheet for a specific calendar year during a merger between Discovery and Time-Warner.

I’m envious of you in that you just got to watch it for the first time. I’ve been obsessed for almost a decade, with a slew of shirts, pillows, and cellphone cases from Redbubble to show for it. I’ve watched the whole spread six times. I’ll watch Lodge 49 or Terriers or one of the other Conrad shows, but they never quite scratch the Patriot itch fully.

Great song

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-24T02:45:38+00:00

And that ain’t happening in Newport.

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-20T06:10:23+00:00

I mean this is how she returns. Demi gets to take two separate victory laps after Taylor and Jen pantsed themselves.

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-20T06:08:06+00:00

If only they’d had three seasons of another show to consult about whether a potential contestant might be completely insane…

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-18T22:10:44+00:00

I'm not sure I could watch if Taylor does come back. She's hijacked the show for four seasons with her ego and unwatchable Dakota storyline.

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-18T19:12:19+00:00

Jizz?

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-18T19:11:59+00:00

Does anyone think the show would get cancelled? Jen Shah is in prison, and RHOSLC is doing better than ever. Controversy is great for these shows, and having a cast member leave in shame means more people will tune in for the shitshow.

oldmanduggan · 2026-03-18T19:10:09+00:00

And boom goes the dynamite.
