I finally watched that fight this morning. Great performance from Boots. Outisde of Crawford (who doesn't seem interested in fighting at 147 anymore), I'm not sure there is currently a better welterweight on the planet.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
he's on the top of my mind because he's kicking ass on the baseball team, but isn't Jonah Williams a potential kick returner?

yall this shit is so good. especially when you consider it as a bookend to the pain and suffering it took to make for emma, forever ago. an almost 20 year journey between then and now and a lot of personal growth in between. the opening to the second verse, "i've had one home that i've know, maybe its the time to go. i could leave behind the snow, for a land of palm and gold" line just fucking stays with you. this is without question the best song i've heard this year.

From and There's a Rhythmn are the standouts to me on Fable. Very good album. Speyside is still one of my all time Bon Iver favorites.

I'd go as far as to add Whitmore to that. i would ideally try to build the package around brooks' contract but it's tough to get to KD's cap # without including FVV. but no, phoenix does not get all of their picks back for 1 year of $54 million, 37 year old KD.

if the pick stays at 9-10, i'm intrigued by Kasparas Jakucionis. but i fully expect the pick to be traded if they don't move up into the top 4.

Surly 2025 March Madness Bracket Contest
ok, here is where we are on this. hunt miller paid me yesterday. that doesn't really work for me so my plan is to send the payment back and then payout the top 3 people who paid before the tournament began. i don't want to set a precedent of people waiting until they see how they finish before paying their entry fee. can a few who are not monetarily affected by this let me know if you agree with my line of thinking?

Craig Finn put out a new solo album. Very solid. This one is the highlight IMO:

i hate to do that just because i don't want to accidently remove someone who paid. i can be better about posting updates in terms of the leaderboard and who has/hasn't paid. there is no surly username for huntmiller - so i'm not exactly sure what the handle is or how to contact whoever's entry it is. i think most of the money transfered from the various places people paid is supposed to hit my account tomorrow. sooo, if your entry was huntmiller please contact me and let me know whether or not you paid your entry fee.

crazy that we're 6 days from the end of the season and the lakers could finish anywhere between 2 and 8...and that there are 5 teams that could still finish anywhere between 3 and 8.
