    Just What is Apex Mountain: Rewatchables discussion thread

    From a certain point of view Venice or Kyoto (or parts of central Paris for example) really are just incredibly elaborate tourist traps, just centuries old ones with lots of super valuable beautiful old shit.

    Just What is Apex Mountain: Rewatchables discussion thread

    Funny because it's right or funny because it's wrong? I've never been to San Antonio but I think Venice is an unbelievable magical place, one of the most remarkable places i've ever been--but I totally struck out on food there.

    Pats lose 2 days of OTAs for violation of league policy

    Nitpicking but I think it's a funnier issue than that. The coaches would have these guys practice 300 days a year, the players don't want to practice as much (it's more hours at the job, more chances for injury), so the owners give the players some concessions on practice time in lieu of other...

    2023 Pats: Offseason

    He's only built for cuban links--not for football.

    Pats lose 2 days of OTAs for violation of league policy

    I'm not disputing this and it sounds like a minor but avoidable (and thus stupid) mistake but my god, there's some body in the building--probably someone kind of low level dude- who hates hates hates Joe Judge and likes leaking stuff to fellow Judge hater Bedard.

    Pats lose 2 days of OTAs for violation of league policy

    There is not reason to think that is the case. Haven't seen the actual reasoning yet but it's usually that there was too much contact or otherwise too rigorous a practice at an OTA

    Pearl Jammin' with Grandpa, the Bill Simmons Thread

    Forget it McKinley, it’s some no longer culturally relevant reference.

    Pearl Jammin' with Grandpa, the Bill Simmons Thread

    Purely anecdotal but I think people under 40 watch a lot fewer movies from before they were born than people over 40-probably because you can watch a million things from the last twenty years in a million places instead of watching creature double feature on a Saturday afternoon, wiazard of...

    The Ringer

    One ringer trend that I’ve heard a lot of lately is them making fun of ESPN for only doing hot takes. Which is usually preceded and followed by a hot take

    NFL: News and transactions

    Just to make one small point, until this society has a different views of murder-suicides, Jim Tyrer-possibly the best player who isn't in the hall--isn't getting in the hall of fame.

    NFL: News and transactions

    Was randomly standing next to an nfl offensive lineman yesterday (he was in street clothes). I’m a barrel chested six foot tall guy and he just dwarfed me. They’re so fucking big

    2023 Pats: Offseason

    One big bouttee issue is whether his athleticism is what he showed early on (like amazing super fast etc) or what he showed at the combine. If he got back to the 21 second 200m guy you'd feel a lot better about his chances for success even if he is a bit of a flake.

    Harvard is not very good at basketball you know. I’d rather have a Kansas ucla or UNC basketball iq.

    Pats Round 3 Pick #76: S Marte "Silent Assassin" Mapu

    I’ve got to say I suspect that most of the local media who criticized Mapu haven’t watched a single highlight of the guy. It’s not that he’s going to be a good player or not, he obviously could bust, but seeing what an explosive hitter he is it’s pretty obvious why BB loved him and why he might...

    2023 Pats: Post Your Final Draft Grade

    Maybe I'm just wrong on this point but for the Pats this year I don't think I'd take a DB who is anything less than shutdown number one corner over a good starting LT--it's so, so hard to find that LT. Like you I think they just didn't like Jones that that much.
