Aggressively Minnesotan.
This is such a nice set. Definitely entering our permanent holiday decoration rotation.

The fact that the base was so pretty was a nice surprise!

I think people in the field talk about “change and continuity.” I definitely don’t have a single word for that continuum.

I’m happy for you. Finding any medical professional who can see you in close to 360 degrees is invaluable! And sometimes that person is a chiropractor.

In my experience there are two kinds - those who think they’re shamans who can cure everything (avoid!) and those using evidence-based techniques limited to dealing with musculoskeletal issues esp, in the back. I’ve had success with the latter. Missing that coverage would be rough!

I’ve mentally blocked out every other Vikings season.

Officially the dumbest play of the season. The bar was so, so high and this one went straight into the sun.

Fond memories of catching it in all of its somewhat fuzzy glory on UHF channel 23

I know McCarthy has been very very bad. But I’m pretty sure watching every team we play have receivers wide open has made him seem even worse. Like..aren’t there wide open receivers on every play? It looks like it when we play defense!

Pretty normal way of saying it, just wanted to make sure everyone got full “credit” for making that choice
November 23, 2025 at 8:32 PM
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of tight coverage, for sure. Maybe that’s a casualty of your pass defense package being rich with safeties and linebackers.
November 23, 2025 at 8:01 PM
For sure, position matters a ton. There’s obviously a ton of value in 119 starts at catcher vs. 95 starts in right field.

I’m saying it’s hard for me to blame voters for seeing those 83 points.

They’re both good candidates, and the vote spread shows that. I would understand either way.

I hate being in a position to defend anything relating to the New York Yankees but I think it was pretty much a toss up between the two. Hard to fault someone for voting for Judge when he had basically the same power numbers but hit 83 points higher. 83!

Agreed - hamstrings are not to be messed with. Maybe he’s 100%, and then by all means. He has been relatively indestructible, but I worry.
November 5, 2025 at 11:57 PM
“Barely cleared 50%” is amazing given the margin of victory, and the fact that the chattering class said he would never clear 50%. Nobody moves goalposts like the political press.

Jesus, Steve, he said DON’T show this to Zohran Mamdani. He’ll definitely see it now!

“New Yorkers at heart” is very funny considering New Yorkers in fact literally just made their choice.
November 5, 2025 at 9:38 PM
Can’t say I understand that call at all. Should’ve called it a catch on the field and then reviewed like they usually seem to default to.
November 2, 2025 at 7:34 PM
Tie goes the receiver, huh? What a wild call.

A Simple Plan.

Phenomenal cast in this Sam Raimi noir. Thornton got an Oscar nom, and this may be Paxton's best work. Plus Bridget Fonda!

Maybe not underrated, but underwatched. Many missed this one, which I've assumed is because at first glance it looked similar to Fargo (released 2 yrs earlier).

We were promised technical fouls and fines!
October 25, 2025 at 1:24 PM
That’s the league now. For all the talk about getting that out of the game, they didn’t appear to mean it. Unwatchable.
October 25, 2025 at 4:37 AM
Announcers outside of Harlan are atrocious as usual. Lakers making “hustle plays” that are called fouls on the Wolves every time. Always the same story when the Lakers are involved.
October 25, 2025 at 4:10 AM
I’m gonna say that’s a good floor for prospective candidates of any type.

Time Vault, no question. The most broken ABU card that isn’t already on the list. Has the same point value in Canadian Highlander as Black Lotus, only less than Ancestral Recall.
October 24, 2025 at 12:39 PM
I did not agree with the conclusion of the NFL officials on that play
