One other thought on Trump at the US Open. The camera cut to him right after Alcaraz won. The crowd is going crazy, Alcaraz is hugging his coach, and Trump is just standing there with a scowl on his face. He is so fucking narcissistic that he can't even find joy in someone else's happiness. He just watched the culmination of an amazing two-week run by Alcaraz. Seriously, the man lost one set total in the tournament and just destroyed his biggest rival. Everyone is amazed and Trump can only think about himself. Clearly, it's not his worst trait, but it is infuriating.
Need some help from the surly hivemind: we're doing a family trip to Rome in December. My parents (in their 70s), my son (17 years old), and I want to go to a Roma match at Stadio Olimpico. Is there anything I need to know before going? I see some good seats on stubhub. Is it just as easy as buying them and downloading the tickets like I would for an American sporting event? My parents are still very spry and active. They go to every LSU home football game (and several away games) so they're used to stadium walks, stairs, big crowds, etc. Is there anything I should be concerned about with them and accessibility?
This. I've been waiting a long time for this weekend and I don't need all the games canceled because of some "This is a time for reflection, not for sports" bullshit. They need to postpone the announcement until at least the end of the LSU-Clemson game tonight.
Although I wouldn't mind if reports start leaking in say the early 3rd quarter. That could lead to some fun times refreshing this thread while watching the end of the game.
Bon Aire has great crowds on game day as well.
The Tavern is my go-to spot. My wife and I were talking about it and I think we went there for the 2005 Ohio St game and for the Rose Bowl. I guess I should go there tomorrow to repeat the 2005 magic.
Great cast, but I wasn't impressed by the trailer. I hope I'm wrong, but it feels like they spent their whole budget on A-list stars and forgot about a plot and a script.
I'll miss their podcasts, because he was the only one that would call Simmons out on his bullshit. Every other guest would say, "Yes, Bill, I agree that Robert Parrish is in the Top Nine Centers in NBA History and yes, How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days is in the Top Six Rom-Doms That Came out From 2002-2006."
And Bill kept Russillo's Barstool tendencies from coming out.
Question for the brain trust: With the stand-off between Fox and YTTV, I'm thinking about dropping YTTV for the streaming ESPN/Fox combo. I figured I would be covered for Premier League games because I already have Peacock. But are the EPL games that are shown on USA and NBC also shown on Peacock? I always assumed they were, but now I am hearing that they aren't. So if you want to watch the major matches this week, you have to have cable or a streaming package like YTTV or Hulu?
I want to thank the happy couple for announcing this before my fantasy football draft. I'm staying far away from him this year. His numbers were way down last year and they're only going to be worse this year with all the wedding stuff.
