Pretty sure it went through just didn’t work. Every news outlet is saying after 2 lethal injections she was snoring


If true, then the drugs must have expired or been a bad batch. Pretty sure all
other botched lethal injections have all been due to a failure to properly inject the drugs.
When was the last time the US lost the Presidents Cup? Haven’t the non-Euros only won this once? Not a huge risk, that said I like Koivun a lot.

Always wondered why LA got left out of the Southeast Space Coast with Johnson, Stennis, Marshall, Canaveral. Kennedy, etc. all around.

Again, Messi is top 3 and GOAT worthy, but I don’t consider him a definitive GOAT simply on host stats.


There is no other clear cut GOAT in all of sports as far as pure dominance on another level than everyone else. Closest comparison is Gretzky in hockey (though a distant second).

During the part about the Battle of Britain they did not mention the British radar system, Chain Home. How can you tell the story of the Battle of Britain without mentioning their radar system? You can't.


Very true. Arguably the most important modern invention/use of technology in changing the tide of the European theater.
IMO he was definitely worthy of it in a category with no clear frontrunner. Certainly not a case where the award was "stolen" from another nominee who was heads and shoulders above everyone else.

The apparent consensus was that this was Timothee Chalamet's year having been nominated several previous times. However, it appears the voters got tired of his constant campaigning and entitled attitude, while MBJ is generally seen as being one of the more down to earth and respected actors around.

Good luck.

PFs better than Duncan whose careers overlapped with him: Garnett Dirk Malone


Malone is the only one who could touch Duncan in individual honors. I think most people would say Duncan takes it with his 5 champs to Malone’s 0.
Kubrick.

A closer call IMO with a modern filmmaker would be Kubrick or Villeneuve.

Yes. I believe Dart is a certified top 12 QB for the next decade when he starts year 2

I would not put it out of the realm of possibility if he gets absurdly hot with the putter.

Spieth happened to become an unreal putter for a two year span and then cooled off. The simple fact is that he never had the talent of a Rory, Scottie, etc. to contend even when parts of his game were off. He also seems like a major head case.

If that is even close to what directors have to deal with, then good lord. You can see how many well-budgeted movies that look good on paper end up being terrible.

The difference in the competitive nature of these guys versus the NBA is incredible.


Agreed. Issue is NBA players are the best athletes in the world (I don’t think players in the other major leagues dispute this).

That said think NHL is a way better live product than any sport.
Several of these are really a stand alone limited series and equivalent of an 8-12 hour feature film as opposed to a traditional TV show. Chernobyl, Band of Brothers, True Detective, Haunting of Hill House, etc.

The only slam dunk 1st ballot is Luke Kuechly.


Kuechly’s longevity and the fact that he’s not a glamour position may hurt him. Patrick Willis had basically the identical resume of individual honors and wasn’t a first ballot (third ballot I believe). Good shot that Kuechly will be a second or third ballot.

Reviews starting to come out for this one. A lot of reviewers say it's his weakest movie. Sucks to hear but it sounds like we should temper expectations


Really? RT has it at 93% presently based on the early critic reviews.
Can he even legally fire Smith? Why not just instruct his new AG to dismiss the cases?

Approach every person knowing you have no idea what they’re going through When someone does something for you, you thank them. Don’t be needy, be independent.


This is pretty solid. I’d also add treat every person with respect, no matter who it is, janitor, cleaner, school principal, your boss, the CEO, etc.
