Spaceman Spiff

@purbeastis right. I keep tuning into the dunk contest out of habit and thinking/hoping that someone will do something we haven't seen before. IIRC, the year Vince Carter won, there seemed to be the same malaise. I don't know how accurate my memory is but I seem to remember thinking that the dunk contest was old, stale and everything had been done. Then Vince Carter came in and took it to a whole new level. But that was over 20 years ago, now it's just guys pulling really tall former players out of the crowd and leaping over them. I don't want to say that everything has already been done, but it's looking that way. The highlights from the dunk contest were boring as ****. I fell asleep after the 3 point contest and the Steph/Sabrina thing...actually, the Steph/Sabrina thing was the highlight of the weekend for me, I wasn't expecting that. I dunno how Silver thinks he can make guys want to play defense in an all-star game but good luck trying. Half those guys would rather not be there, all of them want to avoid injury.

The NBA can scrap the skills challenge from Saturday night. What garbage.

Came into this thread all excited to see some smokeshow that’d end up on Mugshawtys but then I find out it’s old Rachel Dolezal, which was massively disappointing. But then I see TTBs still fooled into thinking that she’s some kind of mocha and it’s all good

Well don't hold out.

If Texas flipped blue, the idiot conservatives that are cheering about the exodus of people from California to Texas are going to stop and realize that those people didn't leave their politics behind.

Won’t believe it until he’s actually out of office or behind bars. Or both. Hopefully that’s a start in the right direction.

The Tourist on Netflix. I didn't know what to expect here but I've been really, really surprised. Takes place in Australia and it opens with this guy driving in the outback in his little piece of **** car. And he gets run off the road by an 18 wheeler, no explanation as to why. Wakes up in the hospital with amnesia....kind of a cliche, but it gets interesting, fast. He's out to figure out who he is, why he wound up there, etc. The characters are well done, the acting is great, ESPECIALLY the bad guy who's kind of on a Bardem in No Country For Old Men kind of a vibe. He's tremendous. I'm on the 4th episode. Wife isn't interested for some reason so I'm gonna watch when I can but I highly recommend it.

What

I'm going to inject a little bit of levity here because...well, I want to. I just had a flashback to a certain poster not named here had an absolute meltdown text message about this time last year when I aped a Bill Burr skit to demonstrate how old Biden is, explaining that Jackie Robinson hadn't broken the color barrier in MLB when Biden was born:

Philly's got some cool spots. Can say that about any city though. But whatever. **** them.

Hey hey hey. Haven’t you leaned where you are? There will be NO TALK of the reports today about Joe Biden’s dementia.

Ah, right, what was I thinking. We've got the worlds foremost expert on all Kyle Shanahan ****ups right here. Sorry I didn't ask you first, TTB!

We shouldn't be here to rehash what happened in that game, I'm sorry I brought it up. That said... He was the head coach. Gotta take control if you think the coordinator is screwing up.

Garbage jerseys for a garbage fanbase.

RIP to one of the greats.

Kyle's involved a lot with that debacle but he was the head coach and he deserves a lot of that blame, too. At some point you gotta be like "dude, what the **** are you doing?" It's been a long time, so I've forgotten the autopsy of that loss but there's plenty of blame to go around. I don't know if I'd be tripping over myself if we hired Kyle. He's got a chance to right some wrongs on Sunday and he's a good coach but he's also got a roster that's absolutely loaded. I am too when I watch this ****ing team. I feel his pain, we all should.

That's right!

I can't get excited for this ****, I'm sorry. Been here too many times before...and I know, I know, I know, this isn't a Snyder hire. I just keep seeing the dude who blew a 28-3 lead to Tom Brady and the Patriots...just with another stooge at his side. I sure hope Kliff'em All is the QB whisperer who everyone says he is, lord knows we're about 35 years overdue in needing one. I don't even know who the defensive coordinator is, I saw the alert come in on my phone that we hired someone who I'm sure will be making us pine for the Joe Berry days come early November. I just can't do it. I'd love to hear why I should think we're turning a corner and why we're in a good spot outside of having the #2 pick. if "SPIFF, DRAFT PICKS!!!" is all you have to be excited about, don't @ me.

ix gonna be tokyo drifting into parking spaces whenever Harbaugh comes to town!

As far as I know.

lol you guys are hilarious

Enjoyed watching him in every role I've seen him in. RIP to one of the greats.

Burnes is represented by CAA. That said, I am looking at it as a one year deal, too. But in thinking about Burnes, he was pissed, PIIIIIIISSSSSSED about how the Brewers treated him in arbitration. I think he just wants to be in a place where he's respected and well compensated. There's no reason that can't be here. This is a great, great move though. I am cautiously optimistic that the new ownership is willing to spend some good money. This is a great step in the right direction in that regard. I was looking forward to baseball season because...well, baseball season...but this just put me over the top. I ****ing can't wait, this is awesome.

Correct.

It could also be that Cowboy Troy was just being nice or something, too.
