R.I.P.

Apparently there's a Talking Heads tribute album out or coming out:

This is good, but I'm kind of worried about who is going to do Once In A Lifetime and Psycho KIller.....

I was looking at various clothing on Amazon, and actually found a Tennessee kilt. I'm sure there are probably some for other college sports teams, but didn't come across any.

(And no, I'm not getting that kilt. If I was going to get one, it would be a utility kilt in Ancient Black Watch or something blue. Unfortunately, the tartans for the two different Scottish clans I've got ancestry from are rather ugly.)

Love the fan reaction to the Quinn hiring

Austin is really going to hate that one of the people that Dallas might be interviewing to replace Quinn is Ron Rivera 1.0. I certainly hate it. @Maxx what say you?

I just hope they don't do another American version. There's been talk about it several times, and I do not like the idea. The 2008 version was awful. 

On the other hand, I'd love it if they brought back Battle Dome. But that's not going to happen.

(Besides, I doubt they'd be able to get Terry Crews to host it as T-Money.....)

Another cancelled show that ended on a cliffhanger: Paramount+'s Wolf Pack. 

@Benji @K Good news: Rookie Feds has been cancelled.

Bad news: It ended on a cliffhanger they might resolve on The Rookie. Hopefully with a throwaway line.

If you have Peacock and are not watching The Traitors, you are missing some damn good tv.

And, if you are watching:

Everyone else is entitled to their opinion but I see no reason Bonds, Clemens, A-Rod, McGwire, etc. shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame based on their on the field performance.

Say what you will about using steroids, HGH and PEDs but you still have to go out there and make contact/get people out. Players in the 70s and 80s were taking all kinds of drugs/amphetamines and if you don't think those are PEDs, you're crazy. I didn't see those guys not getting votes. Plus, all of the (alleged) racists and criminals that are already in there - either remove those guys for the "character clause" or let the other guys in. 

My issue is more that they won't admit they cheated than the actual cheating. A-Rod admitted he did, but there are some who think he either lied about when he did or how long.

And some are on the bubble about McGwire, who was one of my favorite players (so was Clemens), belonging in. If he was a DH, yes, but he was a 1st Baseman. He has..or had..a lot of hitting records, but he has only about 30 more career hits than strikeouts and wasn't exactly known for his defense. (Not me. I think he'd belong if not for the denial of cheating.)

The finale of The Trust: A Game Of Greed. 

Also, Heidi and I have been watching Anthony Anderson (and Mama Doris!) on his new show, We Are Family. I was 3 for 3 on the latest episode (but didn't get the first one until the clues from singing with their relative), and 2 for 3 on the previous two. I'm beating Heidi, so far, but....

I recommend this one: Lehto's Law. He's an attorney who specializes in Consumer Protection and Lemon Laws, but covers cases around the country (and Canada, apparently, according to an episode I watched recently) that are sometimes weird lawsuits, sometimes weird arrests, and occasionally `WTF? How did they think they could get away with this?' cases.

Whenever Hall of Fame nomination (or inductees) discussion starts, I always see people whining that Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Pete Rose belong in.

No, they do not.

Bonds and Clemens are not only cheaters, but have continued to deny it. If they ever add a Cheaters wing to the Hall, they and others (A-Rod, McGwire) go in there. But not until they confess.

I think Pete Rose should go in. 5 years after he passes away.

(Then again, I also believe Shoeless Joe should go in, and Charles Comiskey should be kicked out....)

Lift. Basically, think Mission: Impossible, except they're actually crooks, an Interpol agent is working with them....and the team leader is Kevin Hart. Its an action/heist film with some comedy, but not anything bust out laughing level.

I'm already hoping for a sequel.

Jean and Scott always seemed like a forced pairing during their bigger moments. I don't think Cyclops really got all that interesting until well after Marvel moved on from that. Vicious dad version, leading with more ruthlessness despite the endgame being peace... that's the Scott Summers that I enjoy. Boyscout Cyclops was boring and one-dimensional.

The problem is that at one point they swerved from boy scout to asshole.

I actually dislike the whole Jean-Scott-Logan love triangle. Jean and Logan makes no sense.

And just what did the sun do to you?! 

Haven't read SI - even the swimsuit issues - in well over a decade. And them proclaiming Deion Sanders "Sportsman of the Year" makes me think I haven't missed much. But this is a shocker.

This this, and so much more this. Best thing on television at the minute, hands down.

Also, all caught up on The Trust. Just waiting for the finale.

Deion and Shadeur Sanders are trying to get Alabama players to go to Colorado.

Calling it now, we get knocked out of the playoffs by a Belichick lead Falcons team.

I think Atlanta is pretty close, BB probably gets them to a 10-win playoff squad next year.

If Belichick isn't another Mike Shanahan, you might be correct.

Megadeth have Hangar 18 and Return to the Hangar

Isn't Return to the Hangar more or less just a do-over with a different beat and a couple of words changed, though?

Escape The Fate had The Guillotine, This War Is Ours (The Guillotine II), and The Aftermath (The Guillotine III). Ronnie Radke, who sang lead on the first song, did Guillotine IV (The Final Chapter) with his current band, Falling In Reverse.

I have all four songs, but have yet to actually listen to all 4 in a row.

Naw. The refs yes made several bad calls that cost us a 2 point conversion and handed the Bucs a TD instead of a FG, but the Eagles lost that game because they were by far the inferior team at each and every level of the game.

24 minutes ago, Maxx said:

Ah yes the refs are the reason why the Eagles defense forgot how to tackle.

I never said the refs are why they lost, just that the game was affected by bad officiating. 

And a few Steelers fans are whining about the officiating in their loss to the Bills. The Steelers just got outplayed.

I may hate the Eagles, but they were screwed by the refs last night. I absolutely do not like to see games affected by bad officiating.
