re: Mill's and Gen Z won't get it

This boomer doesn't get it. I've never seen it, and really never will. Only watched nine seconds of it.

A lot of 80's music and culture is ugly, and borders on being gay. This video probably illustrates this point very well.

re: I would love to know who told Jalen Milroe show up at the draft.

This is a "Don't hate the players, hate the process" situation. I'm not a Bama lover, but I don't hate their players. Hate the a-hole bandwagon fans that are so loud on social media. Hate their fans willingness to do anything for the team they pull for. Hate Saban, and his process, that works so well. But don't hate the kids.

I read where Milroe was at last year's draft with someone and had a great time. He let the NFL know he wanted to come back this year. They invited him. He's there for his guys.

If you paid attention to him during games, and in interviews after them, you might think he needs to be a little more selfish at times. He might be considered the anti-Shedur.

re: How is Al Horford still in the NBA

Posted by chinese58 on 4/24/25 at 10:55 am

Better question might be how another former Gator lasted as long as he did.

Horford averaged double figures scoring for all but the last three years of his 18 seasons.

Udonis Haslem was in the league for two more years. Haslem didn't average double figure points for the last 14 years of his career.

Ownership had a lot to do with Halem being at Miami so long.

Both were always considered great teammates.

I think I watched more of it last year, but I don't remember the schedule coinciding with the NBA playoffs, the NHL playoffs, and the start of MLB and NCAA baseball.
Who gives a hoot about a scrub football league with so much other top level action going on? :nana:

It is a great show for fighting action,hot ladies and the whole Chinese in the West story. I canceled my Max subscription when HBO didn't renew it.

even more cruel to the Chinese

No doubt.

In late 1937, over a period of six weeks, Imperial Japanese Army forces brutally murdered hundreds of thousands of people—including both soldiers and civilians—in the Chinese city of Nanjing (or Nanking). The horrific events are known as the Nanjing Massacre or the Rape of Nanjing, as tens of thousands of women and girls were sexually assaulted. Nanjing, then the capital of Nationalist China, was left in ruins, and it would take decades for the city and its citizens to recover from the savage attacks.

Yes, I'm sick of network's and leagues requiring gambling talk on every TV and radio show. Have shows for people that can't watch without wagering, but don't subject me to it.

It’s also never a good sign that a player you’re after transferred high schools so frequently. That mainly pertains to basketball players, but holds true for football players that have done the same.

It has been that way with QB's for a minute.

A buddy of mine coached his son's non-select soccer team. They had a kid who eventually made the US under 14 team. The select team his kid played with, when they got old enough, hired him as a recruiter. He lost the future US under 14 kid to another team in the league because the other team gave the kid's dad a used pickup. That was Dallas select soccer in the 90's.

re: Worst Morgan Freeman movie?

Posted by chinese58 on 4/21/25 at 9:35 am

Was Hard Rain (1998) a really bad movie? I've tried to watch it a couple of times on cable, but don't think I've ever finished it. Still not sure who the bad people in the movie are. Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater. Minnie Driver, Randy Quaid. Edward Asner and Betty White. Was Mary Tyler Moore producing?

I realized they got it right. As soon as I quoted this movie and wanted to try ice fishing everyone wanted to bring me.

My niece and nephews grew up in Anchorage. My brother was a petroleum engineer who worked for the dept. of Interior up there. After they were grown, my niece and one nephew moved to the lower 48. The youngest nephew still lives up there. He used to ice fish out of his brother-in-law's shack and drink with him, but has his own shack now. I want to go up there in the winter and fish with him.

Had to watch it til the end to see that top speed in that long straight stretch at the end. He was still going 120 hitting the curves after that.

He only slowed down to 92 mph in the curve where the red dot is!

Khartoum: The Ultimate Imperial Adventure Paperback – November 1, 2006 by Michael Asher (Author) 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (402) 4.3 on Goodreads 356 ratings See all formats and editions The British campaign in the Sudan in Queen Victoria's reign is an epic tale of adventure more thrilling than any fiction. The story begins with the massacre of the 11,000 strong Hicks Pasha column in 1883. Sent to evacuate the country, British hero General Gordon was surrounded and murdered in Khartoum by an army of dervishes led by the Mahdi. The relief mission arrived 2 days too late. The result was a national scandal that shocked the Queen and led to the fall of the British government. Twelve years later it was the brilliant Herbert Kitchener who struck back. Achieving the impossible he built a railway across the desert to transport his troops to the final devastating confrontation at Omdurman in 1898. Desert explorer and author Michael Asher has reconstructed this classic tale in vivid detail. Having covered every inch of the ground and examined all eyewitness reports, he brings to bear new evidence questioning several accepted aspects of the story. The result is an account that sheds new light on the most riveting tale of honour, courage, revenge and savagery of late Victorian times.
