Exactly right. A lot of dominoes had to fall for him but James played it right and made the perfect bet (to the degree that such a thing can be perfect). Just wasn’t his day and Emma played a phenomenal game. Jay wasn’t shabby either.

Noticed that, and thought the same thing. They were trying to thwart him. It does make you wonder.
No doubt, she is an exceptionally strong contestant in addition to being The One Who Took Down Jeopardy! James.
Those are 2 gigantic ifs.
My rental car company is so good it Hertz. Enterprise can GTFO.
The irony is that his bottom-up style got him the Daily Double on the first question of the first round, so he could only max out at $1000. And Emma hit both DD in the 2nd round. That’s where James did most of his damage - he started the game blitzing the high-value questions and controlling the board until he found…
She bet big to protect her lead. He bet small, as his only hope would be that she would get it wrong and he wouldn’t. She is a librarian at the University of Chicago. No way she was going to miss but that was his only (and correct) play here. Both of them bet appropriately.
But like in English, there is no single “Russian accent”. Chernobyl is far from Moscow, in what is now Ukraine. Soviet society looked down on Gorbachev because he spoke with a Ukrainian accent. You would have to find a lot of local Ukrainian or Belarusian talent to pull that off authentically, or it would turn into a…
Better their natural speaking voices and accents than everyone trying to manage some Russian/Ukrainian/Belarusian hybrid accent with varying degrees of success. We didn’t need 30 Boris Badunovs here.
Ironically, UEFA made Spurs wear their white shorts instead of the usual navy.
Nope. Not so long as NBA/NCAA basketball wears tank tops. Fit athletes don’t look good in tank tops; fans/regular folks/porky schlubs don’t make it better.
Agreed. Adding “alleged” almost implies more than the simple lack of doubt it conveys. What this woman has done is accuse Neymar of sexual assault, which is 100% factually correct. What is to be determined is whether said crime was committed. But her victimhood is conditional on whether the allegations are true.
Go on and have it. It’s delicious.
They went 161-1? Yikes, you have thought ESPN would have picked up on that.
“Jump Around” by House of Pain? Or did you mean “Zombie Nation”?
Our local Comcast/NBC Sports station does all the local highlights I need in 15 minutes all morning. No fluff, no nonsense.
Doesn’t care about the price of a good hairpiece, that’s for damn sure.
It’s as much the logistics as the cost. Not a lot of direct flights clear across the continent from London to Baku. Hell, there aren’t a lot of flights with only 1 stop en route from London to Baku. It’s all well and good that UEFA wanted all of its members to host big events, but this is indefensible for several…
Wesrey for the win.
They took a lot of those names of NHL’s old Adams Division rosters of the day (Smehlik, Tugnutt, Bourque, Turcotte, Wesley, Mogilny) changed a letter, and there’s your American team.
