  1. Sooooo....."Blackie" was the family dog?
  2. He was even in the 4th set went I went to bed.....nice to wake up and see that he pulled off the win....
  3. Hmmmm.....for some reason I can't explain, I suddenly have a craving for a Harvey Wallbanger.....
  4. And that's what he should do....
  5. Good line from Colbert last night..... There have been reports of men who have recovered from Covid, now experiencing ED symptoms. It was dubbed "Covid Dick" by various media outlets. According to Colbert, a recent study shows that, "Covid Dick is real..... ....although he prefers to be called Ron DeSantis...."
  6. Yep. I saw the interview. I have to admit that I don't follow the Cowboys all that closely, (except to celebrate when they lose) but my impression has always been that they'll be a perennial bubble team with more talent than results, as long as Jerry Jones continues to meddle. If they ever hire a competent GM and give him autonomy, they might be a threat.
  7. I just thought it was a terrible call all around. In real time, Chip and I were kind of amazed how neither team looked like they wanted to win. For some reason, the Niners allowed several passes to the sideline, which was obviously where the Cowboys had to throw it. Even though they were marching the ball successfully with the pass, they decided to get cute and go for the QB draw....a needlessly risky call, IMHO. That being said, if you're going to run that play, you have to know how far you can run before going into the slide and you have to know what to do with the ball afterward.
  8. Good on the Italian authorities for catching this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/16/italian-nurse-accused-of-giving-fake-covid-jabs-to-anti-vaxxers More in the link, including a video.
  9. This is more "World Football" than European, but I didn't want to start a new thread.... Congrats to the greatest soccer player this country has ever produced: https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/article/christine-sinclair-honoured-special-award-fifa/ Hopefully, somewhere down the road, Phonsie will pick up one of those....
  10. I watched part of the 4th set and it looked like a bit of a struggle for Shapo....way too many unforced errors. He'll have to clean that up if he wants to have a decent showing. Leylah and Felix play their openers on Tuesday, IIRC...
  11. Interesting to see all the excuses/complaints coming out of Dallas. The Cowboys (and Mike MCCarthy, in particular) feel that there should have been a review to see how much time was left on the clock after the center placed the ball after Prescott went for a run with time running out in the game.... Except that it's been a rule forever that the ball has to be spotted by an official and after the umpire did so, there was not enough time for Prescott to spike the ball. Instead of blaming the officiating, the folks in Big D have two people that they should be hanging this on.... .....Dak, for running 17 yards before sliding, (the standard for that play is 10 yards, which would have left more time on the clock and allowed the Umpire to get to it more quickly) then handing the ball to his center, instead of the official..... ....and McCarthy, whose job it is to make sure Prescott does those two things correctly.
  12. I love that her initials are JK......
  13. Good enough to make me want to try the cask strength....
  14. Wimbledon should be interesting.... BoJo will look pretty hypocritical telling anyone they present a Covid danger after Partygate....
  15. From what I can remember, he was taking pretty much everything except the vaccine.... But hey, people have to be careful about what they put in their bodies, amirite?
  16. Hard not to like those two....but I'm just looking for another home game for my guys....
  17. It's against my religion to cheer for Ben Roethlisberger.... ....but I'm not religious....
  18. I get the warm and fuzzies every time they show JJ after a Cowboys loss.....
  19. Cowboys: "Hold my beer".....
  20. Soooo.....Eagles can't pull off the upset, but Canucks win, Niners win.... I ain't sad....
  21. Stupid penalty by the Cowboys.....
  22. I don't have to "ask around". I got mine on Wednesday and it went great.
  23. It's easy to be "apolitical" when you live in an ivory tower. He'll never have to worry about not being able to vote. (or have his vote disqualified for partisan reasons) He doesn't count of social programs to put food on the table, or pay the rent.... Meanwhile Trump is his golfing buddy, soooooo....
  24. On 3rd and 4 with the game pretty much over, I'm surprised there was enough cushion to throw a simple out pattern. If I'm the DB, I jump that route and if it's a double move, you just live with it. If you're going to try the onside kick, why wouldn't you gamble on a pass to the flat?
