Miyagi-Do Karate

No, thanks. The people in Austin are arrogant, and everything is just an event or party there. They’d be showing up to games just to have tailgate brunches, drinking mimosas and eating breakfast tacos, and not really caring whether the team wins or loses. they just got a MLS team, and they already think that makes them extra cooler as a city.

did you used to watch those Warren Miller 80s ski movies? My Buddy and I would watch them on repeat.

haha— this is a great one. I bought a disc man for my sweet 1988 Chevy Celebrity, which did not have a tape player/adapter. So I had to get this radio transmitter adapter to use with the disc man, where it would pick up on a super low FM channel. Between the disc man and the radio adapter, I could barely move in that car for fear of skipping or losing the signal.

did someone say Ertz?

Yeah, his athleticism probably helps a lot. But even the greatest athletes struggle with golf, given how counter intuitive and highly mechanical it is. I think Poyer probably has an elite “sports IQ” more than anything. I had the good fortune of playing golf with a lot of NFL Players at charity events over the years. I think the athleticism only gets you so far. Some of these guys play many times per week (the retired ones), and they are 20 handicappers, at best, and hitting your bad slices and worm burners, etc.

9.5 handicap after playing only for a year, and with no lessons? That’s seriously nuts.

I was so wrong about this kid. Was not happy to see Haush $ let go— but Bass was so clutch last year. oh, and how about his beautiful onsides kick against the chiefs? Probably the best one we have seen from a Bills kicker in decades.

i really don’t understand how the Giants could have been clearer: lose 14 pounds. That’s it.

I seriously can’t believe 3 on 3 Bball is now an Olympic sport. I just looked up the list of the sports, and there are some really absurd ones on there. Artistic swimming? 3 kinds of BMX biking? 2 kinds of kayaking? I saw some skateboarding the other day, and everyone looked terrible. I think the winner was a 13-year old girl who fell down a bunch. https://olympics.com/en/sports/

I am with you. I think the last Summer Olympics I watched was like 2000. That said, my sister just visited and is a hard core fan, and so got us into watching. So we have caught a little this year.

The only plausible explanation is that they aren’t high on Nelson. I have a lot of Steelers’ fans friends, and they think he is pretty meh. But I haven’t really looked hard at his play myself.

Agree. I guess we will see what we can get this year. I got it for free last year, so I am not going to complain too much.

i haven’t studied Nelson, But historically, steeler CB’s have been very scheme limited. Their CB’s were really good at zone and mediocre to awful at man. That’s why Russ Cockrell was able to stick and play pretty well for them. Not sure if Nelson fits that mold or not.

weird that no one was willing to pony up bigger bucks for him. By comparison, the Bills signed Josh Norman for more last year.

sort of strange how poorly Durant and Lillard played. France is okay— but that is just weak.

It’s too early to call. Timing is everything. Just give it like 2-3 more weeks.

1987 training camp. I was 9 years old. Me and some other kid were waiting for Scott Norwood to give us his autograph. He said he only had time for one more and signed the other kid’s paper. It was only the two of us standing there!! He couldn’t take 10 more Seconds to sign for me too!?

yeah, bomb may be overstating it. But I read some articles that Disney may be worried that MCU could be jumping the shark.

Reading how this was a total box office bomb for MCU. Sort or weird— I expected this one to be super popular.

That looked like a 900 to me. But nice try, Guy.

Strangely enough, I had a dream last night that Singletary was our starter and getting all the carries and doing great. Moss, et al— none of them were seeing the field. Not even for a snap. And the scheme was very run heavy. I wish I could say that this portends great things— but I have a 0% success rate on all my Bills’ dreams.

Interesting to hear the very different takes on this. my view is he should have handled it differently. Maybe the school’s communications guy could have announced to the media before the session that he prefers if they call him “coach” or “coach Sanders.” I am pretty sure everyone would have complied.

that means his market dried up pretty fast, and he will be back on a short-term deal— because the Steelers have very little money left, I believe.

I hope not. Duke needs to rest up for the regular season!!
