Eh, I can see that it would click for some

It definitely did not click for me

The Bride!

I wanted to like this. It's a big swing & an interesting idea

Alas, it's a hot mess. Primarily because the script is absolutely appalling. And the leads are v annoying

Maggie Gylenhall does a decent job directing it. The writing not so much...

Maxx Crosby wanted to be a ‘Raider for life,’ but then it all fell apart (Gift Article) Maxx Crosby's commitment to the Raiders and their fans was genuine and powerful. But then the situation in Las Vegas changed.

Ok you were a lot more reasonable and balanced on this piece than I was!

One of the more vacuous, depressing things I have read recently

And there are at least two wars going on, a genocide and both my sports teams are fucking terrible

Are young people really this stupid and/or lazy?

Also I think this is bullshit

"I’ve listened to 64,186 minutes of music in recent years."

64,186 minutes of music has played in the background whilst she has been doing other stuff

I doubt she's "listened" to much

Don't go to the Guardian looking for any quality writing about music

Unless it's an interview

YouTube video by The Overlap Gareth Bale: Real Madrid Reality, Turning Down United & Life With Ronaldo | Stick to Football 119

Not one of the more exciting interviews. Bale seems like a nice enough chap though

One interesting thing he talks about is how the game seems more 'managed' now rather than 'played'

I agree. All the life and fun coached and reffed out of it

Sad to see a genuinely elite player leave but needs must

And it's a great return if (big IF) we use the picks well

I think Spytek knows what he is doing and will work better with Kubiak. The pairing with Pete Carroll never felt right

Emergency pod coming after the Maxx trade @tednguyen.bsky.social?

Ted is the best. This is a great read on Mendoza. I'm sold!

Interesting. I considered Quboz when switching from Spotify but chose Tidal instead

Then I discovered Block (Tidal owner) stopped bothering to invest in/mprove the product. Which shows, unfortunately

So, now I'm considering another switch...

I used to work for a startup involved in football transfers. They paid this chancer to tweet some promo bs for a new feature

We wrote the tweet. It was sent from his account. Evidently unchecked

Because the tweet contained an erroneous fact about a club

Which pissed them off. And him. Lol.

Always riled me up when people referred to him as a 'journalist'

Yes Toad mate 🙌

That's a strange choice for the cover!

Sad it came to this but this is a great deal for my #Raiders

14th pick along with 1st overall. Let the rebuild begin

In Spytek we trust 🫡🏴‍☠️

Justin Broadrick is a musical genius and must be protected at all costs

The Godflesh discography was already a mighty thing before they reformed. He owes us nothing.

Hope he makes a swift and full recovery 🙏

Championship play-offs expanded: Why EFL is increasing routes into Premier League

Everyone: we think the gap between PL and Championship might be getting bigger

EFL: let's give the team finishing 8th in the Championship a chance to get promoted

Poxy idea. Dumb.

Ok I see. So you want it in stock and ready to ship 👍

Boomkat has it I think. I ordered the CD in the end. £45 for an LP is beyond the pale, for me

Ah ok. It's been some time since I watched the original so hard for me to compare

As it happens I've been watching a bunch of HK action classics recently so I'll add this to the list

Plus I've never seen the other two. So this is a good excuse!

Rewatched The Departed again recently and loved it. What about it disappointed you?

I think it's going to be easier to get more out of the O line in year 1 than markedly improve the defense

That's a 2 year job at least imo

If we come out of next year with 5-6 wins, are competitive and the QB/offense show some signs of life...I'd be delighted headed into Year 2

Love your work Ted

But can you please, for the love of God, get someone at the Athletic to hire a goddamn Raiders beat writer?

Going from big Vic Tafur and Tashan to zip and not replacing them in 6 months is a disgrace

What could go wrong?

Toad knows

Dunno. I think it's about time those Spurs players were told a few home truths...

In public during a press conference? Maybe not. But that's what you get for hiring a manager that won't be there in 2 months. And knows it. 🍿

Not keeping up with them after Obsolete is the correct call

Soul of a New Machine is decent in a "debut album that is rough around the edges whilst showing plenty of future promise kinda way"
