Post Malone

---

This is the easiest slam dunk in the history of Super Bowl halftime shows. Everyone knows at least one Posty song, even if you didn't know it was a Post Malone song. He has tremendous crossover appeal, and is an all-around likeable guy.

For all of those reasons, he'll likely never get the ask.

quote:

---

The Departed,
The Town
Mystic River
Gone Baby Gone

---

Of these, Mystic River is the weakest of the 4.

I'd go:

GBG
Departed
Town

Mystic River

GBG stuck with me for days. The ambiguity of it all, the difficulty of the subject matter. It genuinely haunted me.

Maybe he'd been consoling him since he was cut and Brooks was in some type of depression that consoling wasn't helping him with. I'd imagine his dad knew what he needed more in that moment than we do years later without knowing either person.

---

I think there's a lot of truth to this. Brooks famously didn't have the best US players on his team in 1980. Only a couple ever had NHL careers at all. Instead, Brooks took kids he could really push mentally - kinda like his dad did to him. Could explain why he was a much better college coach than he was an NHL coach.

I met him once, when he was coaching the Penguins in 2000. Not "nice." Intense as all hell.

Yeah and that’s short sighted and for softass people

It's also a topic for people who can read.

My top 3 are
The Game
Zodiac
The Rock.

The Game is a masterpiece. It's such an excellent flick, but also so very interesting and difficult. Not an easy rewatch once you know, but an all around excellent movie.

quote:

---

Look outside. Lots of millennials that are crushing it today still. 

---

Present and accounted for.

All I'm saying is, the world is different than it was 10 years ago, and wildly different than 20 years ago. If Millenials got a pair of 3s, Alpha is having their cards thrown on the fire while the buy in just got raised.

quote:

---

Weak men like you and everyone upvoting is why we’re in the state of the country.

---

Millennials are in their mid-30s to early 40s, trying to raise families, while being told that they're not doing enough by geriatrics.

They do not have the institutional power that you're suggesting. They're funding your SS, while being told that they have to import infinity third worlders. Congress has been dominated by boomers for at least 25 years.

Millennials are not the reason the country is falling apart. They were dealt a shitty hand, and while trying to play it, they're told they're just shitty players.

Stefanski is overpaid, but he is a 2x NFL COTY.

Everyone in it is unlikable except Stanley Tucci

You are supposed to pull for Anne Hathaway, but she is a conniving piece of shite

---

This is the most accurate description of the first one I've ever read. Adrian Grenier is a decent dude, and Anne Hathaway's character just destroys him.

It's an interesting "grind and shine" movie, but ultimately the grind is a vapid, pointless mess, and everyone in it is desperately unhappy. The Hero's Journey is fulfilled, but also flipped because AH ends up being a bitterly unlikeable politician.

Yet, despite all of that, it's a genuinely "fun" movie to watch. Says a lot about the chemistry of the characters.

Al Lambert

Was the same age as this girl when Step by Step was a thing. She was the GOAT tomboy.

She grew up to be an absolute dime. Great find.

quote:

---

They literally just hired one

---

He said "decent" coach. TheTtitans hired Saleh, I thought.

He's the defensive equivalent of Josh McDaniels. Elite coordinator at one particular location who cannot be a head coach.

quote:

---

The offense was still pretty terrible even with Cousins. It definitely looked more normal with better formations under Cousins but make no mistake it was never good

---

That's because Cousins point-blank told ZR what he wanted to do, and ZR just did it. Cousins was effectively calling his own offense.

Penix either didn't have the stones to do that, or didn't know how. Either way, ZR left a lot to be desired. I think he can be a good OC eventually, but he ain't, right now.

quote:

---

sounds rough, but I also only understood like 20% of what he was talking about.

---

The strut was held in by two parallel bolts in a tube, while the strut itself sat in a small cup. There's literally no reason for this. The strut should go through the lower control arm, and be held in place with a sturdy bolt that goes through the bushing. That's how most front struts are held. What he's describing is a corrosion nightmare, where water will sit in the tubes and rust the bolts into failure.

The cv axle is also held in by a ridiculously small 10mm nut. That size bolt is what should hold down a battery case. A cv axle should be on a 20mm nut at the very least, as it's a critical component of a 4wd system.

It's a painfully flawed system all the way around.

I'm no expert, but I'm a solid driveway mechanic. This is the kind of poor quality materials you'd expect in a shitty Mitsubishi 3cyl econobox, not an F150.

Pat Summit started it, Dawn Staley brought it back, and there have been a series of giants in between who maintained it.

Mulkey, Koenning, et al have done their part to build quality programs, to where there isn't a truly, bulletproof, juggernaut in the conference anymore. They're all pretty good.
