He shook hands. It was very brief and he did it while moving and without looking but he did shake hands.

This was great.

What role (if any) does Justified play in the revolution? It seems like that was a show that was well-written, avoided 18 different chances to be cliche... maybe a better question is how you would rate the show compared to Sopranos, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, etc.

It’s a tired cliche but after glancing (couldn’t help it) I think we both agree it’s an insult to moldy dogshit.

Persuasive.

Interesting. For me it’s not so much the physicality but the technique, the awareness of what to do. In the video above, you’ve got kids imitating their idols; it looks for all the world like a younger version of a pro game (or kids imitating the pros). You say the same thing often enough in a youth football,…

I hate him for his diving but, damn, that was some Steph Curry shit right there.

A young Diego Costa at 4:42?

That’s the most intensely competitive 12-year old match I’ve ever seen (youth league coach here). Go to any pitch in the USA and you won’t see that, much less see a match broadcast on television.

An incredibly engaging list. I’m at #37 (still reading) and I swear, the mixture of gallows humor, revulsion, incredulity... I feel like that guy in the first video, above, and I don’t even follow the Browns.

He’s bemoaning the awful fact that you have to ‘practice your attitude’; he’s not blaming the victim. The paragraph before the quote you selected for your outrage? That provides context. But hey, whatever gets you them stars.

But the football? I can romanticize that, right? Speaking as an enormous City fan living in Los Angeles. Inquiring mind and all...

Well said. I became a futbol fan five years ago and never looked back.

That’s a good barometer of movie watching. Would you watch it again? And honestly, with Zombieland, I’d have to say, ‘meh.’ I liked it but wouldn’t want to see it again. Good talk. :)

Counterpoint: Strong performances throughout and from a strong cast, witty repartee, enough gore and violence to make things interesting, well shot... not sure what’s *not* to like.

The hell is wrong with you, man?

I appreciate the recs. I’m on the west coast but might be worth some shipping costs.

With you and the OP on this one. A pub here in Los Angeles recently closed, one where I’d watch the Premier League and get what I felt was an absolutely perfect glass of Guinness. It took awhile but each and every pour was fantastic. I go out and buy myself a four-pack of draught and it’s not the same. I go to other…

Can anybody provide a list comprised of “if-you -love-Guinness-you’ll- also-love ____!” beers? My two favorite beers are the draught and Guinness Extra Stout but I'm looking to expand. Thanks in advance.

Best sports books read in the last year. Have there been any good ones?
