  • I haven't had this much sustained UK sports red-ass since Wisconsin 2015. Just a comedy of errors at the worst possible time. Every single thing that could go wrong went wrong. No, the program as a whole isn't "old UK football," but that game was vintage "old UK." It's been analyzed to death, so no need to dwell, but damn what a missed opportunity.
  • XC - BoyTweon was into XC for a little while and really enjoyed it, but was later diagnosed with SVT. The episodes freaked him out pretty badly. He had surgery to correct it and was cleared to start XC again, but COVID hit and that was that.
  • Speaking of BoyTweon, his girlfriend went to Liberty University and promptly turned into a cultist. We're moderately conservative Christians, but DAMN. That place is a cross between a boarding school and a prison. She became super-legalistic with a quickness and told BoyTweon that they needed to take a "break." To his credit, he said "piss off weirdo." A real shame because we all liked her and her family, but she was completely brainwashed. WR had one hell of a catch though.
  • GirlTweon is commuting to UofL and she's not a fan. I think she'd like to transfer to UK, but she wants to teach Spanish and the most efficient route is at UofL. Plus, she wants to study abroad next year, so that complicates things further. Some tough decisions ahead for her, so send puppies.
  • I can't think of anything I'd like to watch less than a series about Jeffrey Dahmer. No thanks.
  • Cobra Kai - Daniel has always been insufferable, but he's even worse now. Just awful.
  • Global thermonuclear war or nah?
  • RIP Loretta Lynn

-It's not just virtue signaling, they're good tax shelters, and gets you out of never ending requests to sponsor/donate/give to every acquaintances' event/charity/sports fundraiser/etc.

-No surprise, a lot of these pro athletes aren't great guys. Just because they can play ball and have a good fake smile doesn't mean they're quality people.

-As for kiddos, big believer in the character building with team sports. So we'll be spreading the different sports around. If they want to specialize in HS, whatever.

-Sauna/Cold Shower. That's tough to talk myself into but damn if it isn't a hell of a feeling after. Wish I had somewhere to put one of those plunge baths.

-Pink eye isn't too bad on the sickness scale. Eye drops and clears up in like a day or so.

-That Mahones flick play was absurd. He's a wizard.

-Shit, I forgot to mock Richie for going out with a fishing guide in f*cking loafers. Lol. No telling what that good ol' boy was thinking. Did you use the horse bits as bait?

Grew up near Lynchburg, went to and played in the same stadium (City Stadium) LU used to play their games in until the early 90's when they built their new stadium. That town went from a neat little psuedo mountain town to LU owning the entire area, and all within last 20 yrs. And its very much a cult, hell the hilljacks from the duck dynasty show went there so tells you all you need to know.

Am I reading that basketball schedule correctly in that there are 4 streaming only broadcasts on SEC+?

Glad I set my 80 yr old parents up on the ability to stream because nothing confuses the boomers more than the notion of streaming.
 
RIP Loretta Lynn. Great voice and a country music icon but her dude ranch sucked. My mom dragged us there one vacation as kids and it was easily the worst vacation ever.
 
How can 62 mean a damn thing? Seriously this is an insane “achievement” celebration simply because he hit the most HR for a Yankee in season?
 
Judge… he’s fine..


• Leading the American League in homers — by 23!
• Leading the AL in runs scored — by 30!
• Leading the AL in total bases — by 81!
• Leading the AL in RBIs — by eight!
• Leading the AL in walks — by 25!
• Leading the AL in extra-base hits — by 13!
• Leading the AL in OPS — by 104 points!
• Leading the AL in most times on base — by 39!
• With a chance to lead in all three Triple Crown categories — and all three slash-line triple-crown categories (OBP/SLUG/OPS).

Now let’s try to place that list in historical context. I hope it grabs your attention. It definitely grabbed mine.

Led his league in homers by 20-plus: It would be just Judge and … Babe Ruth.

Led his league in runs scored by 30-plus: Since 1900, it would be just Judge, Rickey Henderson and the Babe.

Led his league in homers, extra-base hits, walks, runs and times on base by at least 10 (in all five categories): It would be only Judge, Ruth and Ted Williams.

Led the AL in the Triple Crown categories and the slash-line triple-crown categories (live-ball era): If he can retake the lead in batting average, it would be just Judge, Williams and Lou Gehrig. (And nobody has done it in the National League since 1933.)

Doubled the rest of his team in second-half OPS: Finally, here’s a mind-blowing window into how much the Yankees have needed Judge’s Ruthian second half …

Second-half OPS:

Judge: 1.321 (through Saturday)
All other Yankees: .653

Also having separate league records is silly. Who has the most picks in the NFC? Or AFC? Or TDs? And why is it separate?
Click to expand...

Because it's baseball...no other sport recognizes historical achievements like baseball does, both as a whole, and in their AL/NL league identities which are over a century old. Go read up on the NFL playoff history, and you will learn about the merger w/ the AFL, conferences created for playoffs, etc.

Field of Dreams is corny as hell, but the entire backstory about the game itself sets itself apart from the rest.

Terence Mann nailed it.

There is no way the MLB would consider pulling Judge for any indiscretion and lose the marketing opportunity to cut-in over all these networks to display their product. He would have had to have a viral video of hanging a TV over a fireplace or kicking a puppy for that to be an option. It certainly doesn't hurt a struggling for new fans league for him to be a Yankee, too.

Nice achievement but it's more for the Yankee fans that grew up closer to Shea than it is for baseball as a whole.

@Kooky Kats 😂 okay man, they “test”, yeah they throw a big name out there every so often to say yeah we test. How long did it take to catch Lance? Years after he was done.

Tatis means literally nothing compared to Judge for the MLB. It’s a sacrificial lamb of sorts. Also, some players are dumb and use dated regimens that are more easily detectable or detectable at all.

Everyone saying oh he’s doing it clean are fools. He may be but they have ZERO idea if he is or not, they just want to believe he is. I will almost guarantee he’s on HGH at the least if not test as well whether off season or in season.
 
Man last nights baseball stats were pretty sick, one of the better statistical performances of all stats. I don’t know if it would crack my top 10 stats of the year, but as far as stats go it’s about as satisfying as it gets for this baseball guy.
