ESPN still does live sports better than anybody. ESPN+ is a great step into the 2020's. Lots of content and live sports. They just invented the Manning Cast which is another groundbreaking discovery. As far as channel surfing and watching ESPN? I dont think I have done that since the early 2000s. I haven't had cable television in almost 10 years. I don't really watch anything. I know people complain about Steven A Smith and hot takes and taking a political side and all that... but if you don't watch it, it shouldn't be a problem. The world has moved on from a 6 hour loop of Sportcenter every morning being the most interesting thing in the world. They certainly have lost a lot of market share now that NBC, Fox, CBS, MLB Network, NFL Network, SEC Network, Fox Sports 2, etc have all jumped into the fray. ESPN has had trouble adapting a bit, and have made a number of errors for sure.

I think saul was fine with a few childish pranks to cope with Charles, with the bowling balls and the prostitutes in the restaurant. Kim seems like a psychopath and gets pleasure from this stuff. She kind of dragged saul into going this far. When saul saw that judge with the broken arm, he seemed almost relieved to call off d-day and for Kim to pursue her "professional" dream instead.

I have always accepted all-star games for what they are/were. Meaningless exhibitions, but you get to see all the stars in one place. A little bit of pageantry and the host city gets put in the spotlight for a weekend for the sport. I agree on the 3 on 3 thing for the NHL. I dont think it has been nearly as bad as their other gimmicks... but just give me East vs West. I dont need the game to mean anything, nor do I want to overly incentivize the players to create fake meaning. I also like the pause in the schedule and a 'breather' before the stretch run. The continuous play of hockey and basketball lend itself well to these exhibitions and you get to see the stars do some fun things and score a lot of points. MLB, I just like the history of it. AL vs NL. Its fun. Cool ballpark decked out. whatever. NFL/football as a sport does not lend itself to this sort of exhibition, not to mention most of the players just got through a brutal war of attrition and are either recovering, or mitigating their risks for meaningless injury. Each conference is forced to look deep on the bench for willing participants. The game itself is unwatchable and not fun, even compared to the other 3 major sports leagues. I also thing being played after the season hurts it.

The game is terrible and doesnt work. NHL and NBA can still hold an entertaining enough ASG, and MLB to a point... NFL does not work. These guys do enough. I have always said they should turn it into a program/special. Name an all-pro team and maybe a 2nd all-pro team... if not an "all AFC team" and "all NFC team". Make it a special like the All-Madden team was, perhaps hosted by a popular figure like the Manning brothers Hold an NFL awards-show. Mint some awards like the NHL has and name them after people. Maybe do some sort of all-time team(s). Have some marquee players perform in fun things to be included in the broadcast or pro-bowl weekend. Maybe a Madden tournament with a representative from each team (the winning team's fanbase gets something like a sign outside their stadium or something and $ for charity). Carve and edit it up into a neat and fun broadcast. Maybe even have a 'legends' tournament where prominent ex-players play. A golf event like what Rodgers/Brady/Mahomes/Allen re doing would be fun. If you are going to hold competitions, it needs to be things the players want to do, with zero health risk.

Yeah, if I had to guess, we are going to see the conclusion of the Lalo/Kim/Gus/Mike part of the story in the first 3-4 episodes. Then it will be business as usual for Gus and Saul and there will be some sort of time jump to late 2008. Then we will see integration in the BB timeline a bit and see what Saul was up to behind the scenes (perhaps even more Gus and Mike). Then, finally, we will see the final conclusion of Saul/Gene and maybe Kim (Huell?) in Omaha.

So wilson is thick, Tua can "actually" throw, and Jones lost his gut.

Is this a thing? I saw a hype report from Boston that says that Mac Jones is all muscle right now.

Pretty good payoff for waiting and watching their scheme unfold too. I wonder where it goes from here. What would Lalo want/need from Saul/Kim? Part of me doubts Kim will leave that "talk" but it would seem early to end that character. I do think Kim may have reached her full arc though turning into a full monster and it would be a fitting end. It seems like there isn't a ton of ground to cover for 6 episodes-worth. Hoping we get at least a full episode for the Gene/Saul conclusion in Omaha.

Zero Gene so far as well

I liked Howard as a character. Well-played. I was kind of angry about Kim and Saul going at him. When Howard showed up at the end of the 'finale', I expected something drastic to go down. I thought he would pull out a gun or something and off himself I dont know. Just wrong place, wrong time.

The pick would be 28th. Only the final 4 get re-slotted at the end.

McDavid needs to cool off in order for Edmonton to not win the cup

Pesci in casino might have been better than Goodfellas. Deniro was at his best too. Agreed with Rain Man A couple of my favorites, but maybe not technically the best performances ever: Javier Bardem in no country for old men. Philip Seymour Hoffman in before the devil knows you're dead Steve Martin in the jerk

I wonder if there is going to be a major turn in this next episode whether it is Kim vs Saul or Saul vs Kim. Im hoping not, this show is above a cheap heel turn.

IMO: The Dolphins are the largest immediate threat and could be a problem. I kind of discount the Patriots, but really, you cant count them out until Belichick is retired. Objectively, they seem like kind of a mess right now and for the future. The Jets should be better. Out of the Dolphins/Pats/Jets I actually think the Jets may have the best 2-5 year outlook. I like Wilson's ceiling above the other 2. For this season though Id still be shocked if they were better than Miami let-alone Buffalo

I think this season would have to be a particularly bad dumpster fire with some irreconcilable public feuds between Allen, Diggs, McDermott, Von Miller, etc...

Went into business with Gabe northern

you need to start off with "im hearing". I makes it look more legit

I love the build up to the schedule release. This gradual leaking of games from the NFL enhances this because it forces everyone to play (to steal that writer's metaphor) soduku with the schedule. Schedule release day is one of the things I look forward to the most in the NFL calendar. Always, once it is out there and locked in, it doesnt really seem that interesting anymore. The build-up is better than the thing itself.

It feels like the Point A to point B at this point doesnt need a 13 episode season to be honest. Ill take it though as Im not in any hurry to leave New Mexico

From a fan standpoint (me), nothing beats the 1PM Sunday grind. If I got to choose, I would see a wall of 1PM Sunday tomorrow evening. I fully expect the Bills to be pretty much maxed out on primetime and exclusive window games at this point. Allen and co are considered must-watch TV for NFL fans. They havent won yet, so are still well-liked outside of Buffalo. Im sure a lot of people will be adopting Buffalo as their '2nd team' if they havent already. Lots of fantasy implications.

Great Buffalo Bill. Im glad he got a nice taste of team success here

the spooge thing was genius. Loved how he was pretty normal and you get the spectrum that meth and the blue meth turned him into a mutant.
