Clay Matthews was a beast for Norway
My dad had this about 5 years ago. Have him walk as much as he can once he gets home (they’ll have him walking in the hospital day after). Down the driveway, to start, then maybe a few houses down, etc. Be sure to build that strength. As others have mentioned, make sure he uses the heart pillow and the spirometer thing. Recovery was a slow go for a little bit, but after about 9 weeks or so, it was like nothing had ever happened.

Loved that airport back in the USAirways days, American has far too much traffic into there these days, I actively avoid booking through there. Fortunately, there are a surprising number of connection cities on AA out of PNS.
I’m curious how many others preferred Wrigley before they built Nashville around it (complete with a Hattie B’s). It used to be neighborhood bars and stuff but now they’ve basically built their own Ballpark Village or Battery when they already had the original. Upgrades were certainly needed to the ballpark itself and the facilities for the players, but the rest of it…just more revenue for the Ricketts, I suppose.

Speaking of flopper, I loved seeing the player in an earlier match shown a yellow for flopping after video review. Get that crap out of the game.


Great NHL clip from a decade or so ago, a player tries to draw a penalty and the ref yells “F you, you’re getting an f’ng embellisment”
Good. Maybe seeing flopper putting up a big Friday night number in June will give ESPN/CFP the courage to play the title game on a Friday instead of Monday
Hockey has infinitely more action than soccer and it still barely registers in the US compared to other sports, soccer has a long way to go. Even though for all of my 50-ish years it’s supposed to have been the most popular sport in the next couple of years.
Yes, I was referring to hockey in Pensacola. Ice Pilots suspended operations in summer of 2008 and they secured an SPHL franchise to begin in 2009, so aside from 2008-9, they’ve had hockey there since 1996.
It’s weird that Pensacola is the only market to survive (aside from one year) while all of the others folded. Hell, they drew over 6k/game this year playing in the same old building. I’ll be interested to see how long Athens keeps a team; Tallahassee and Baton Rouge couldn’t make it work as the local university dominates the sports scene and those markets, I assume, are larger than Athens. Knoxville seems to make it work, but I believe they’re larger than BR and Tally.

Never eaten there, but walked past D’Agostino’s about 4 blocks west of the park on Addison at Southport. Happy Camper is in a string of bars/restaurants on Clark just south of the ballpark.
SLC to XNA isn’t that bad. And it’s Saturday to Saturday. Hell, Miami plays a Friday night game at Stanford and then a home game on Thursday. SFO/SJC to MIA is a significantly longer return flight.

She thinks she's better than everyone, she treats Turk terribly at times, she had to go on a fricking date with an ex before saying yes to his proposal, and I find her pretty damn selfish too. She forced Elliot to give the patient benzos and acted like she knew more than the doctors and then acted like it was big chore for her to act professionally at the end of it.

There's so many examples. She was shitty at Janitor's wedding when it came to being a wife instead of just a mom. She sucks

ETA 2 That's not to say Elliot is some type of angel btw. She had a million issues too


The Turkleton's are apparently awful with money, Carla has been a nurse for 30 years or so and Turk is chief of surgery and Carla has to take on extra shifts at a clinic? Not to mention, she's always withholding sex (Thursday nights, in the minivan).
The baskets are a good thing to have when you have folks like Jeffrey Maier going to games
because gas is $4 gal and it gets over 40 mpg

Yes, blue line trains run every 10-15 minutes. Don't get hung up on the schedule, they're just a suggestion, the station will show estimated arrival time for the next trains.

yeah, it's just a regular subway, no need to book anything in advance.

A month ago, I would've been fine with a .500 record for the PHI-NYM-PHI-LAD-SD stretch; now 9-7 would seem to be a disaster.
eh, nobody could imagine the money involved in college sports 35 years ago. Not to mention, the SEC wasn't then what it is now (or was a few years ago), the ACC had won 2 football championships since the last won by an SEC school and 3 basketball championships since the last won by an SEC school, while having the defending national champion in each sport. That said, culturally, it just never made any sense to bypass the SEC for the ACC.
I grew up there so I saw the Blues a ton as a kid, they're awesome, but that weekend is a hard pass unless I'm in a hotel/condo/house within a half mile of the pier - on a boat, it's more doable, but it's still a battle.
It's a long day, as others have mentioned, the main beach lot will fill before sunrise. Make sure to bring a ton of water to keep cool/hydrated because you can't go in the gulf during the show and you can't get in a hurry to leave unless you like sitting in traffic, though the AC may be worth it at that point.
