I don't think you're understanding my usage of the word overhyped. I've tried to explain, but my efforts have failed it appears. Speaking of dying on a hill, are you going to revisit this if Harrison is outperformed again by his fellow classmates this year? And might I then need to define the word outperformed as well?

I don't think I've watched ATH in years. Actually, I haven't watched much ESPN programming since Mike and Mike in the Morning ended.

Guessing you heard the joke about the Indian chief explaining to his son why he was named two dogs *******.

We would've won that game going away if McDermott hadn't turtled during the second half and coached as conservatively as possible while trying to sit on the lead.

You:

It was a good show many years ago until it veered away from sports and became unwatchable. Wont be missed.

Once again, the claim that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was responsible for the lack of National Guard deployment on January 6 is not supported by the US Constitution or operational protocols. Under Article I, Section 5, the House governs its internal proceedings, but does not control security operations or military deployments. The Capitol Police Board, not the Speaker, oversees Capitol security decisions, and while the House Sergeant at Arms reports to the Speaker, operational command lies elsewhere. The DC National Guard falls under the authority of the President, per Article II, Section 2, and deployment requires approval from the Department of Defense. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund requested National Guard assistance early on, but delays came from the Pentagon, as confirmed by then-DC Guard Commander Gen. William Walker, who testified that he was ready to act but lacked authorization. The "optics" excuse originated from Trump defense officials, not congressional leadership. No evidence has shown that Pelosi’s office denied or delayed aid; rather, the documented delays were the result of executive branch decisions, not legislative. Ah yes, the infamous “Trump authorized 10,000 troops” claim - still no order, no document, no directive. Just Mark Meadows mumbling it after the fact like it’s gospel. Saying “I told someone they could” isn’t a lawful deployment - it's a shrug with PR. And let’s clear this up: Capitol Police Chief Sund requested help. The Pentagon delayed the Guard for over three hours. Gen. William Walker had troops ready and waiting - authorization never came until it was too late. That’s on Trump, not Pelosi or Bowser. You can mock all you want, but facts still outrank your tears. Hysterical and pathetic as usual, Doc. The “Dems wanted it to happen” fantasy - because nothing says brilliant strategy like inviting a violent mob into your own workplace during a constitutional proceeding you've already won. Capitol Police were under-manned because Trump’s Pentagon delayed backup. Flash bangs? Used after the breach. “Agitators”? Every investigation - including GOP-led ones - found the violence came from Trump supporters, not secret Antifa stunt doubles. Kamala at the DNC? She was evacuated because of the bomb, not sent there for plot twist drama. And the “FBI missed it on purpose” bit? That’s not analysis it’s lazy conspiracy. Democrats didn’t want chaos. They wanted to certify an election. Trump wanted to stop it. Big difference.

#BLESSED Thank you. My musical meal for the day and more in this thread. I hope you stick around and post often. Your contributions, I mean everyone's contributions are welcome and from the heart Is where it is at! I don't have time for nonsense. This music is definite meat and potatoes. Know what I mean? It fills me Up! Much as Gracias m

Whenever I watched it and Jackie Mac was on, I feel he would always give her the win just perception probably not reali(ty)

It’s not a bad way to live if you can afford it….and even if you can’t. Having it “catch up” at 76? I could live with that.

Posts like this are what make me want to petition the Mod Squad into giving us the middle finger reaction emoji.

If there’s no beer, it just might be the other place!

Ultimately, my gripe with it comes down to the fact the league can’t follow the “ain’t broke, don’t fix it” when it tinkers with its rules, I think. I don’t really care about increasing the likelihood of an onside kick working as an individual play at the end of a game… it was a low percentage play before the rule changes, and it’s a low percentage play now. And having to declare it doesn’t change the end of the game, everyone knows when a team has no choice but to do it. However, it changes the strategy in a game like the Bills-Detroit game last season. Campbell, with a banged up defense that couldn’t stop a toddler, was right to go for one when he did to try to steal a possession, and in 2023 it may have worked. And if he was able to do it to open the second half, he probably would have. In 2024 there’s almost no chance of it working. I dislike the impact of that rule change on those situations, and I feel like keeping it as part of the game as it is is kind of pointless, especially if the league cares about player safety as they claim to, which we know they don’t. I agree about the current kickoff rules. It gives a very minor league feel to the whole thing. It’s like the NHL ending a game with a shootout… all these seasons later it still leaves me flat and unsatisfied.

I have a collection of bills hats that hangs on the wall in our bedroom. There’s probably 30 of them and then there’s a bunch of other ones in the drawer. Yes I need a therapist

That’s a lot of emotion over someone you think is a sad clown. Hope you feel better soon.

Wow, impressive mental gymnastics. You “debunked” nothing - you just threw out 2020 like it’s a Get Out of Jail Free card. That’s not an argument, it’s just deflection. If your best defense is “well the other side did bad stuff too,” then congrats - you’ve conceded your side’s a dumpster fire and have no defense for a guy who tried to overturn an election, spews Hitler phrases, calls journalists the “enemy of the people,” dines with Nazis, praises neo-Nazis and demands political loyalty from the DOJ, and floats jailing celebrities and members of the media who mock him. And Trump’s so-called “toughness”? Please. Putin plays him like a kazoo. Xi sees right through him. Kim Jong-un handed him a fake peace summit and got everything he wanted for free. The guy talks tough to reporters and then folds like a lawn chair in front of actual world leaders. No spine. No strategy. Just noise. Look at all his "trade deals" that don't exist - he collapses as he watches the markets tank and the bond markets revolt - and you talk about WACKY policies. You want to talk about “lowering standards”? Just look at his Cabinet - less a team of qualified experts, more like a junk drawer full of Fox News rejects, grifters, and failed radio hosts. It’s not a government; it’s a fan club with security clearances. He didn’t drain the swamp; he gave it a studio audience. No moral high ground? BS - I’m not the one trying to build a throne out of quicksand and denial.

Why have a rule at all about when you can do an offside kick? With the present percentages, no team in the lead will ever do it, and even teams trailing would not do it until late in the 4th quarter.

They wanted something to happen. I don't think they wanted/expected people to break into the Capitol, but they wanted unrest outside and/or a false flag narrative. Hence under-manning the CP, throwing flash bangs, probably many agitators in the crowd and sending Harris for no reason at all to the DNC HQ where "bombs" were somehow missed by the FBI.

Would they ever fight this hard for poor people who wanted to get into that place? lol

I assume you're referring to Stat Boy I remember watching PTI when he was just stat boy. Its kind of an amazing story how they called him to fill in at ATH the day after the SB since every other 'big name' at the network was off covering the SB - and he did so well he just kept the gig. Reali is known for as being extremely positive and generous on and off the air and think he is a genuinely good dude. I give him credit for purposely turning the show from just a yelling match when Kellerman started to something a bit more structured and even thoughtful at times. Not sure why some people get so bent about the scoring thing - there really wasn't any specific system - just him going by feel - was just a device to add more entertainment (what if friends were debating sports at a bar and someone was sitting there scoring them on who was making the best points). Last few days I've watched all his interviews as he made the rounds. Even if I didn't watch it religiously lately it was to me still a fun distraction when I did (esp day after some major sports story). It's sad to see something that was part of your life for decades go away (for no apparent good reason - was still one of the highest rated shows on the network). I wish Reali well - he seems to have moved past acceptance phase and already is making moves to move forward with other projects/platforms.

The original host of PTI was Max Kellerman. Then there was a contract dispute, IIRC, and Tony Reali, who had been a fill-in host, became the regular host. Kellerman is obnoxious, but good at boxing commentary if you're into that sport.

Even during the Tuh-ROD era???
