Yeah, I’m not sure I’ve ever had a bigger swing in emotions than that game. Watching SB40 was painful, but in a long, drawn-out death sort of way, but I made my peace with it because the Steelers were a better team with a better gameplan (if we want to call Holmgren’s strategy for that game a plan, which I will not).…

Well, it’s already implied the Lakers lost simply because they were involved in a game.

Worth noting LV Sands is building this with or without an NFL team and with minimal public money (probably ask for help with infrastructure and tax breaks, maybe redirect hotel tax which doesn’t really affect locals), so to suggest this is fleecing the public is disingenuous unless Oakland or Alameda County fold and…

Can confirm accounts of Tiger’s cheapness from co-workers at a few different restaurants. Can also confirm that Charles Barkley used to call out Tiger on that shit every time, back when they were still friends.

SuperSonics widow here. I wish I could say something to the good people in StL and SD along the lines of it’s cool, it’ll get better, you’ll move on. It doesn’t really work that way, though. I still passively watch the NBA. I’ve enjoyed watching the Warriors and Spurs since the Supes departed for OKC, but it just…

I’m new at this but does this fall under “good Kinja” or “bad Kinja?”

My money would be on Murray Chass.

Yes. Went to the LV Bowl a few years back with BYU-Oregon. Lines were all green and gold and not too long. Assume there will be a HEAVY LVMPD presence, however, given the opponents.

Yep. Once they kicked him out, they never regained that ferocity his percussion brought. If we’re ranking drummers from 90s alt rock, the list should start with Danny Carey and Jimmy Chamberlain.

It’s in my top five. Certainly has held up a helluva lot better than Mellon Collie. I listened to that all the way through for the first time since I was in high school and while I can respect the ambition Corgan was going for, it reminded me why there’s only, like, four or five double albums in the history of rock…

I would point out that Noel Gallagher is far more self-aware and has a greater perspective on his own band’s career and legacy than Corgan does. And I say that as a fan of both.

Come on. We both know the best MWC candidate for this to happen in UNLV. At least CSU provided McElwain a springboard to something. UNLV is the black hole of college football.

Haven’t read the book (I’ll get there over the holidays), so forgive if this gets mentioned. I think “Homicide: Life on the Street” is one of the most important shows in the evolution of television dramas. While “NYPD Blue” was getting the ratings and buzz, for me, “Homicide” was leaps and bounds superior in every…

I bring up the lack of awards for “The Americans” if only because it’s not a big ratings draw for FX. Without having those “prestige” awards to fall back on, does FX keep supporting the show going forward? I’m thinking of “The Bridge” as precedent, in that it was an excellent show (season 2, for so many reasons), well…

What the hell is it going to take for “The Americans” to get some award show love, Matthew Rhys in particular?

Also, has “The Good Wife” finally jumped the shark? It pains me to question it, but this season has been wildly inconsistent and contradictory of what we thought we knew of many characters. Thoughts?
