It is also annoying, if one likes logical arguments, to state an abstract principle but not have the facts on the ground fit the principle. Committed to academics? Joining the B1G does not violate that principle in the least but having Louisville join the ACC probably does. I would have liked...

Is this thread dealing with anything real yet? Other than the possibility that FSU just wants to get everyone rolling around in the mud so that allowing them a favorable exit limits the PR damage for everyone, I just don’t see anything that’s come to light that tells us anything. Maybe I’ll...

I think this is correct. It is a misnomer to say that any play perfectly executed will result in a touchdown. Lots of plays are designed only to pick up the necessary yards in a given situation, whether two yards or twenty. The option creates a mismatch which, when coupled with a wrong guess...

I was amazed how how quickly the project in Boston went from concept to completion.

I had to come on this thread to see who was just now starting to hate FSU fans.

So much about Slow Horses to like but I just got tired of it. I don’t mind a slow pace but it felt after awhile to me that the systemic conflicts were just being recycled in different packaging. But I’m not offended if someone liked it. There are a few on my list like that. Liking some...

Wasn’t the last episode of Seinfeld kind of one long take on the joke that “Seinfeld was really about nothing?” It didn’t work but had a kind of Dadaist feel in the attempt.

I went through a period where I said, “That’s it, I’m not watching anymore series,” but then I discovered The Wire. And that’s my problem. I discover a good series and then I keep looking for the next “masterpiece.” Then I hate myself all over again. 😊

Felt so good to start with but jumped the shark after a while. I finished it but was sorry I did.

I hung in with Walking Dead longer than that but by the time I quit watching it was making me angry. It devolved into a predictable formula. They ran out of ideas and tried to keep it fresh by killing off favorite characters. I was amazed that it kept going for so long after I quit watching it.

Other threads have discussed TV series that are worth streaming and perhaps from these recommendations you have discovered new favorites. I could list several TV series that I fell in love with and highly recommend. But what about those series that came highly recommended, or that started off...

I was Broderick Snoddy fan myself. He was a threat to take it to the house every time he touched the ball. Sorry we only had him at his peak for a short time.

Then there’s her tombstone. “Heck, I’m used to dust.”

Vince Lombardi said a team that could run the option against us “would embarrass us.” Pros experimented with it in practice, and in preseason, back in the early 70s. The decision not to run it has to do with roster management. QBs were the biggest part of the team’s budget and you could not...

Good question. Hope some football geeks will answer this. I hate to admit it but it’s been a lot of years since I’ve paid close attention to Xs and Os. Just not interested enough to spend that much time on it. The premise is this. For pros to take advantage of defensive schemes they often...

This practice can be very therapeutic.

UNC comes to mind when I think of other ways Tech could have handled this and “roll over and take it” was not in UNC’s playbook.

Yeah, but you don’t get it. T-shirts are the gateway drug to hookers, cocaine and illegal sports betting. Tech should be thankful that the NCAA nipped this in the bud.

Weird to me that this is a discussion about style of play in different decades. I thought basketball was about athletic ability. That being the case, give me a Kareem Abdul Jabbar any day. We might not win a championship, depending on the quality of other players, but we are instantly better...

You remember this so differently than I. I never saw anywhere that CPJ was involved in a cover up that included prepping witnesses.
