also, we stole one of these out of a room, hid it in the band room, and would play mario kart on an N64 someone had during lunch

One of the more annoying things about teaching now is that kids can’t handle movies anymore like we used to. JUST SHUT UP LET ME WATCH MASTER AND COMMANDER.

Yup. I feel like I said before I was going to adopt Minnesota and never got in on that. Might have to give that a shot as the stretch run gets going.

We're boned longterm while he's still alive/owns the team.

As a loyal and long time Athletic subscriber, I think I deserve some "here are some actually good football executive names Spurs should hire" content for the dopamine hit. I'll take one for the Chicago Bulls too.

I was playing the Crash Course Industrial Revolution video the other week and on reflex did the "6-7" motion when it said something about 6 and 7 year olds working from my desk and the kids yelled "too soon!" at me. cc @mistermeyer.bsky.social

It seems pretty clear that Poch is coming back after the WC. That shortens the list of interim managers that was already very small. It's better than an internal hire or Mason again.

My general tactical soccer thought after watching Brighton-Palace and Spurs all year is that you can play Pep/Kloppball or Mouball and all this middle ground stuff just doesn't work. Pick a lane.

I guess that was Ange but you’re allowed to have a defensive structure too

I don’t think Thomas Frank will do this but I want an anti-nerd, chaosball, FRAAB, all the dumb low xG shots tactics guy at Spurs. You cannot apply reason and logic to tottenham hotspur and also soccer should be fun to watch. Trench Warfareball sucks.

So Ange tried to keep his job at Spurs by play frankball and failed. Will Frank keep his job by playing Angeball? Is there a rule that everything Spurs do has be weird?

shove all the xG nerds in a locker and get the PL back to dumb fun soccer

unrelated to your point but do you think that the liberal number on that first graph is the real number vs conservatives/moderates or do normal liberals hate calling themselves liberals?

The Thomas Frank experience has made me crave anti-stats/tactics chaosball. Run around and press high. Shoot from the top of the box. Stop passing it sideways. Make soccer more like Javy Baez.

I’m a Bears fan so I am incredibly happy to have Ben Johnson but deep down my midwestern/Big 10 brain gets the most joy from the defensive guy defeating the fancypants offense guy.

Pissed off normie women have been the heart of democratic party for forever and sooner the big brain hyper online posters types figure that out, the sooner we win more elections.

I still can’t process that caleb throw and that it happened. That’s not a Bears thing. We’re in a new thing now.

I have yet to see any evidence that we actually want a deep lying passer. Donβ€˜t need them for UBalling.

Tottenham are pretty fun/good when they're playing like Seb Hoeness is the manager

Wish she would have run for Senate even though I don’t live in Illinois anymore. Still have a yard sign of hers at my folk’s place.

I’m terrible with remembering book details so sorry if I’m misremembering this, but is this how the CIA guy you wrote about who started mistreating villagers in the valley operated or was CIA allowed more legal wiggle room in Afghanistan?
