    TCM Movie Marathon

    TCM is one of my favorite channels. Without it, I never would've been able to see all of those Hitchcock movies, and movies like Casablanca, The Third Man, Double Indemnity, etc.

    Question for all knowing board. Will the Pirates lose this season?

    The early returns on him aren’t promising; it doesn’t look like he’s going to be the second coming of Buster Posey.

    Question for all knowing board. Will the Pirates lose this season?

    In fairness, they have signed players like Reynolds, Hayes and Keller to long term contracts recently, but history says that you’re probably right.

    Question for all knowing board. Will the Pirates lose this season?

    Right now, this team isn’t even as good as last season’s team. They strike out in double figures almost every game and play defense like a beer league team, and the bullpen, which was supposed to be a strength, has been average at best. Moreover, their Gold Glove third baseman, who’s always...

    Nothing is wrong with that, and if that's what the individual wants to do, then good luck to him. It's just my opinion that it can reach an absurd state when an individual changes schools year after year after year, like JD Daniels did, who went from USC to UGA to WVU to Rice. I'm just...

    He did. Also, he played fairly well when he began to start ganes at Pitt last season, but then his performance declined dramatically the more he played and eventually was replaced as the starter for their last game. He definitely would be a decent backup for a Power 5 school, but probably is...

    I'm going to be 57 years old this August; I don't dote over 18 to 22 year olds. I just made a social commentary about the current state of the transitory nature of college football and how academics don't matter one bit to a lot of the players who play it, which I accepted a long time ago...

    I learned more about the law in my summer Bar Exam review course and summer clerkships than I did in three years of law school, so I agree with you.

    Transfer Portal

    I don't disagree with you, but I just think that it's become a farsical situation. It also shows you how academics now play almost no role anymore, which is another sign that these players merely are de facto free agent independent contractors rather than students. It's obvious that most of...

    Well, he probably could do that at Pitt, and also could've done it at PSU while being a member of a team that plays in a lot of big games in front of massive crowds. The pathetic part of it is bouncing from school to school year after year. I mean, he's already been at two schools and now is...

    Transfer Portal

    What a pathetic situation for a kid who probably has almost no chance of playing pro football to be chasing a new school year after year rather than settling for a place and worrying about getting an education so that he can focus on his life's work.

    Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Blue / White Spring game

    Yeah, but Riley’s teams always can score points on almost any defense, which often compensates for his terrible defenses.

    Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Blue / White Spring game

    Just from hearing him, I think that he’s going to be the true leader of the offense this season, which a qb must be. He just seems like he’s ready to assume that role this season, whereas as last season he seemed to be more of a wall flower.

    Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Blue / White Spring game

    I believe that the road games at WVU and Wisconsin will be much more difficult than home games against two teams that will have to travel 3000 miles. Other than the game against OSU, the road game at USC will be the most challenging because we’ll probably have to score at least in the high 20s...

    Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Blue / White Spring game

    We have a very good rb corps and tight end room. As long as the wrs can be competent, the offense should be fine provided that the qb matures and the o-line replacements are competent. The Chiefs have won the last two Super Bowls without a great wide receiver or even a great rb. I know that...

    Light off topic fare, the chipmunk logo

    I have a hat and long-sleeve t-shirt with the African lion logo on it; I like throwback merchandise.

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    Although this country by a lot of objective and subjective measures had been in decline before the Spring of 2020, I believe that March 2020 will go down as the beginning of the end of the fabric that held this country together and made it a special experiment and a general force of good for...

    Question for all knowing board. Will the Pirates lose this season?

    If you can believe this, on his weekly radio show today, Shelton said that he is sticking with Bednar as the closer right now. I know that the Phillies are happy about that.

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    If we lived in another time, a certain epidemologist would be prosecuted for blatantly lying to Congress multiple times. Instead, he's treated as some kind of Demigod by a bunch of gullible dupes and willing accomplices.
