COME ON PEOPLE! READ YOUR EXPERTS ON ESPN! They all say it is highly unlikely Geno Smith repeats last season so you shouldn't draft him! - crash davis 😺 Aug 29, 12:17 2
- and thank you to those who drafted for me in Astros, it looks like we are moving fast -- nm - crash davis 😺 Aug 29, 12:20 1

It occurs to me that TikTok and similar micro video formats are doing to TV and movies what TV and movies did to radio dramas. - Beryllium Aug 29, 12:09 3
- Right. There was just an 80 year hiatus between the end of radio dramas and the start of podcasts. It'll be fine. -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 29, 12:21 1
  - Well, that's kind of why I included audiobooks. Books on tape have been a thing for a longer while. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 29, 12:25
- And as for theatre... - Beryllium Aug 29, 12:16

  - Better than the TWO KICKERS he got me!!! -- nm - Spawn Aug 29, 11:59 7
    - "oops wrong hole" -- nm - ML si Aug 29, 12:02
    - This is why he'd never give me a draft card. -- nm - spamlet Aug 29, 12:01

        Glad you're happy, but it wasn't up to me--I used your instructions and the Yahoo rankings. -- nm - ML Aug 29, 12:08 1
        
        I have picked, not sure who is next. Dealing with a downed tree on one of our condos right now. -- nm - Spawn Aug 29, 12:11

WTF: AEW: Punk has not been informed of his suspension as of an hour ago. I repeat HAS NOT been informed - Remlik Aug 29, 11:27 9
- I'm amused that the reporting on AEW is rarely right, yet people still cite it religiously. -- nm - David Aug 29, 11:30 7
  - but this time it's Sports Illustrated who reports most of it. Sean Sapp isn't an idiot either. -- nm - Remlik Aug 29, 11:38 4
    - Barasso has a MUCH better track record than Sapp, but he's been wrong before, too. -- nm - David Aug 29, 11:39 3
      - I’d wager Barasso had a much tougher day after being wrong given he has legitimate editors. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 29, 12:08 1
        
        I mean, but the venture fund running SI (and Forbes) cares more about clicks than quality journalism anyway. -- nm - David Aug 29, 12:11
      - Fair. -- nm - Remlik Aug 29, 12:00
  - It's like a whole new batch of folks forgot that dirtsheets suck, and work themselves into a shoot, bruther. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 11:33 1

Disney really wants you to know everyone is watching Ahsoka -- (link) - hollywood big shot Aug 29, 11:19 6
- In defence of the soulless corporation, the first two episodes of Ahsoka were much more engrossing than Secret Invasion. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 29, 11:26 3
  - Secret Invasion is just so flat, it's damn shame. great cast, story *could* have been good. - Remlik Aug 29, 11:27
  - they were fine. not mindblowing but positively action packed compared to Andor -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 29, 11:27 1

  - When we went to the cardinals game last week they didn’t make me take my phone or metal wallet out of my pocket. -- nm - spamlet Aug 29, 11:43 1
    - Same at the Cubs game. And it appeared as if multiple people were going through the metal detector at the same time. -- nm - pmb Aug 29, 12:24
  - also "fooled" may be doing a lot of work in the reporting, depending how lax the people doing the screening actually were -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 29, 11:42
- Dick Tracy had a foe 60 years ago called THE POUCH. He also hid stuff in his belly fat. -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 29, 11:35

- graphic design isn't their passion? -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 29, 11:14
Shay, Shaun, Me. -- nm - Krusty Aug 29, 11:00 2
- Haven't heard back from Shay. I'm hesitant to pick for her; she'd probably be OK with it, but since we're a day early, I'll wait to hear back. -- nm - Samara Aug 29, 11:03 1
