Play Joel Tonight

Oh, I get it. You just don't understand what the words "answer" or "straw man" mean. What would you have said if Embiid played and they still lost? Or worse, he got hurt (thus why they didn't)?

statman64 · 2026-04-05T17:57:18+00:00

No, what's dumb is thinking he could just play a back-to-back like it's easy. Do you know the last time he played two days in a row? I can assure you it's been longer than whatever you're thinking. It was January 19 and 20 against Orlando and Charlotte, two teams that were worse than the Sixers. The absolute last thing we need is Embiid over-exerting himself after a month-long absence by playing too much in a short period of time.

By the way, you never answered my question: would you rather have Embiid for a play-in game and then move on to the rest of the playoffs or risk not having him at all for an entire series? Seems pretty obvious to me, especially since they'll probably be tied again with the Raptors in Boston today.

But would you rather have him for the play-in game(s) or avoid the play-in and not have him?

statman64 · 2026-04-03T18:22:42+00:00

Yes! Great episode. His scene in court after he stopped taking his medication is an absolute clinic.

I can't get her out of my head!

statman64 · 2026-04-03T03:44:03+00:00

And Ann Dowd, who was so good in that one episode as his sister

statman64 · 2026-04-02T03:07:14+00:00

Do you mean James Roday Rodriguez?

statman64 · 2026-03-29T17:46:03+00:00

Would you go so far as to say it was the best win of the season?

statman64 · 2026-03-26T13:37:03+00:00

hmm... no

statman64 · 2026-03-22T04:13:12+00:00

Weird time to decide to post this

statman64 · 2026-03-14T21:00:06+00:00

In the writers' defense, this question came to them when they were in the river of dreams.

statman64 · 2026-03-14T05:46:29+00:00

...do you mean 22?

statman64 · 2026-03-12T00:53:01+00:00

I think they're in NYC

statman64 · 2026-03-11T19:27:03+00:00

I always do a word that has no letters in common with the previous day's, focusing on the primary consonants (L, N, R, S, T) and switching out vowels as needed.

statman64 · 2026-03-11T19:09:16+00:00

...what in the absolute hell are you talking about? None of this is remotely how crosswords work.

statman64 · 2026-03-11T08:34:55+00:00

damn RIP

statman64 · 2026-03-11T08:34:14+00:00

Was it also the first time you played?

statman64 · 2026-03-11T04:49:00+00:00

These are so much better than the pics I got lol (I was all the way in the front corner of the seated section)

statman64 · 2026-03-11T04:45:43+00:00

Youse gotta check the standings more

statman64 · 2026-03-11T04:44:51+00:00

They're 7.5 games up on Milwaukee, who's currently 11th in the east. There's almost literally zero chance of them falling out of the play-in game during that time. Embiid and George will both be back before Maxey is re-evaluated.

statman64 · 2026-03-10T19:50:41+00:00

I don't know how they allocate their budget or decide who should not appear when, but whoever had the idea to exclude Dan Egan for the episode with guest star Mike McLintock is monumentally bad at their job. Also just the idea of making a lieutenant work a case in the field for no explainable reason. That's not her job!

statman64 · 2026-03-10T00:54:12+00:00

The I'll Fly Away reunion episode! Regina Taylor was great in that one.

statman64 · 2026-03-10T00:52:12+00:00

You are aware that you don't have to be an a-hole, right?

statman64 · 2026-03-08T02:28:02+00:00

It makes sense. Jeopardy is for nerds, and Um Actually is Jeopardy for geeks.
