Tom Brady

The TB Buccaneers i.e. the Tom Brady Buccaneers destroyed Kansas City in a Superbowl I didn't watch 5 seconds of.   Good for you Tom.  Now go away.

Sweet bikes

I liked this story I found this morning. Everyone Has a Tom Pritchard Story. Only I Have His Bike — BicyclingWhat you won’t find anywhere is a serial number or a badge or a sticker, or anything flashy suggesting a brand. From what I’ve learned about the builder, that

Dalziel and Pascoe

Late 1990s England looks like early 1990s USA.  Early 2000s England looks like late 1990s USA.  What was the deal with this lag?  It seems like they caught up early 2010s.

Mario T-shirts

Well, I'm not resisting temptation very well with the Mario 35th anniversary merchandise.  Got these: * Super Mario 3 T-shirt * Super Mario World T-shirt Those are my two favorite Mario games.  Top 5 all time.  I am also interested in the Mario Sunshine shirt and the Mario

Alert Days

Every day is an "alert day" – a term I vaguely understand to mean extreme weather.   They declare alert days for snowy days, super hot days, super cold days, but I don't think they've really ever elaborated on the definition.  Not even once. To their

Bryn Forbes All Day

Give him the rock.  Mainly you, Giannis.  Give him the rock, because you seem to assist him so well.   6/6 is hot.  Red hot.  I'm really happy about that. I got an idea.  Let's play Detroit and the Cavs the rest of the season.  I

Calamity

This game is so much different than Zelda BOTW, but I like what is similar.  I wish the controls felt more natural.  It's a little nuts, but I suppose an experience like BOTW wouldn't line up with how the events of this game are portrayed later.

Fourth Quartering

1st quarter was bad, 2nd quarter wasn't great, 3rd quarter was pretty good, and the fourth quarter was what we want to see.  The rim wasn't very kind tonight, so start driving to the basket!  DJ still worries me.  I swear the odds are better that

Keep it Rollin'

Yes, yes, more of this, please!  I fully enjoy full fourth quarters of garbage time a lot more than final-possession losses like those against the Celtics or the Nets.   I worry a little that this recent success could be over-reliant on three-point shooting.  But it seems like

Groundhogs

I'm not sure where I stand on this ritual.  On the one hand, I admire traditions that go back 130-140 years, even though you could go to Europe and find out every town there has an esoteric and more bizarre tradition that goes back 3+ times longer.

Unfair

I think that feeling of unfairness goes hand-in-hand with sports, but when a league makes an effort to make things more fair with VAR, they just shoot themselves in the foot when the VAR decision is clearly wrong.  It multiplies the unfairness they set ought to avoid.  I

Flexin'

Finally, there seems to be an answer for getting beat up by 3-pointers.  I can't explain what that is.  I'm not interested in learning tactics and the merits of drop coverage versus switching.  I just want them to not give up threes like they were,
