re: The Agency - Michael Fassbender, Richard Gere, Jeffrey Wright (Paramount +)

Gere, Fassbender and Wright are so damn good in this. So are the rest of the supporting cast honestly.
Hugh Bonneville is fantastic. He steals every scene he’s in.
Owen’s character is portrayed perfectly. Put him in a room full of the stars and grizzled spymasters, and he should be nothing more than background scenery, but he consistently provides valuable insight and holds his own as an analyst. Owen has a bright future in the CIA.
Then he goes out into the field, and things get tense. He’s on the brink of disaster with every expression, decision, and comment he makes. He’s always on the precipice of blowing his cover.
That requires a lot of subtlety and nuance from an actor, and it shows the depth of the cast that his performance isn’t mentioned.

re: USMNT’s World Cup $12.8M payout will be shared with women’s team

Pretty good payday for 3.5 weeks of work no matter how you slice it. 681K if they don't share....363K if they do.
It’s a 2-4 year process and commitment for everyone.
re: Dan Wetzel blames "Travel Ball" for the lack of development of US Soccer

quote:I have the opposite experience. My 13 year old quit rec league soccer this year.
I have a 13 year old son, and it seems to be less niche among his generation. They all wear the jerseys, play FIFA World Cup on the Xbox, and argue about which pro player is the best. He plays soccer at the local rec district,
Why? Rec leagues are floundering by that age in my area because of travel leagues. There’s a lot of kids like my son that enjoy the sport, but not enough to commit their time to a travel league, so they give up the sport entirely.
They might not be making any great developmental progress in rec leagues at that age, but at least they are playing the sport and remaining engaged.
A high level athlete isn’t going to fail at a sport simply because they spend a couple of years playing recreationally at a lower level, but they don’t have a chance if they give it up entirely.
re: St Jude Dream Home Giveaway
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 7/7/26 at 4:26 pm to LSUA 75
Shreveport pediatrician Dr. Donald Mack, started the home give-away fundraiser in the early 1990’s. Today, communities all over the country have a raffle, and it has raised over $700 million.
Dr. Mack was a longtime supporter and advocate for St. Jude’s. He was the first doctor outside of the Memphis region to send a patient to St. Jude’s. Today the hospital treats patients from all over the world.

OL gets points for all pro and pro bowl but no other group does? Are these selectable data sets?
Somehow Trai Turner earned LSU more points than Andrew Whitworth.
Trai Turner gets credit for 4 Pro Bowls.
Andrew Whitworth had 2 Pro Bowls and 1 All Pro.
Turner also started a few more games than Whitworth
Turner was an interior lineman. Carolina had one winning season during his Pro Bowl streak 2016-19.
Whitworth was the starting Left Tackle in two Super Bowls.
re: Four decades later: Lafayette ‘one step closer’ to I-49 Connector

Shreveport has been waiting on an I-49 connector since 1996. It will be interesting to see which one (if either) gets completed first. My bet is that it will be Lafayette.
There’s not an existing roadway for the last 2-3 miles of the Shreveport connector. At least there’s already 10 miles of I-49 through Shreveport.
Yes, the north and south sections are not connected, but at least the existing roadway connects to I-20, 3132, and I-220.
That Lafayette corridor of Highway 90 / Evangeline Thruway from I-10 to New Iberia is the worst major thoroughfare in the state.

I can almost understand the delay through Lafayette.
However, what’s delaying converting Hwy 90 into I-49 from Broussard to I-310?
