“What airline was that? Frontier, you say?”

One reason they would want those ratings up is that Fox is traditionally third or fourth in demo in the 8 and 9 p.m. slots on Tuesdays. Doing half of NCIS’s share in 18-49 is not really something you want to base a five-year commitment on. That could be a pretty considerable drop in ad rates from a 1.2 to a .7 in the…

“So stupid, right? I predict he’s really going to regret it.”

I’ll go you one better: I don’t even know how to pronounce hockey correctly.

If it’s Fridays, that kind of audience would be a win. Huge difference between Tuesday and Friday. I guess it changes a bit of the storytelling and the live show calendar, but I think Vince just got plenty of reasons to do that.

From the standpoint of a billion-dollar investment, I don’t think 2-3 million is strong. It’s basically fourth place in any hour, if you’re looking at mid-week viewing.

Eh...I think you saw a big move to more wing-dominated play in the late 90s, which basically lasted until the Curry era. Rules changed because of Jordan — hand-checking, illegal defense, and even one they don’t use anymore about not having two players on the opposite side of the court away from the ball (which was put…

This is really something. I never thought, even given their incredibly wide reach as a brand, that WWE would ever get a weekly prime time commitment from a broadcast network. Wow.

I for one am really thrilled about this because of the long, rich history of ice hockey in Nevada.

And Jordan.

OK, but even if Steph retires this summer, he’ll probably have as many rings as LeBron, plus two MVPs and every meaningful three-point record there is...and he will have evolved the entire game based on his style of play. It’s not like he hasn’t already had plenty of “staying power.”

So if he has 12 seasons of top-level play, five championships, and will have forever changed the landscape of the NBA...that’s not very good?

He’s really good! He’s also tripled his three-point shots since Steph Curry came into the league.

So, let’s see: Wrapping up his ninth season, will play in the NBA Finals for the fourth time in those nine years, has won the scoring title once and MVP twice, and has singlehandedly challenged and changed notions about floor spacing and the value of the deep shot, more or less shaping the game in his own image...but…

I saw Tom Magee at a house show ~30 years ago. He beat Iron Mike Sharpe, a crime for which he can never be forgiven.

Just never looked like a Mike.

Furious Shitter was the best character in Boyz N The Hood.
