Going to be amusing when public domain Superman & Batman titles have better creative teams than their DC counterparts.

Hasn’t it been said numerous times that the confrontation with Tony was a separate incident (later) and may not even have been taped? oops, sorry. I forgot….

I can believe this. I’ve met a number of pro ball players over the years who paid very little attention to their money so long as they had spending cash, and the people they trusted to manage their finances were either corrupt or inept. Kevin Durant’s accountant embezzled $70 million over a couple years. Charles Barkley lost a good chunk of his early fortune because his financial advisor made dumbass investments in things like earthworm farms (Barkley had no idea where his money was going until much later)

And Punk probably picked a fight with Perry over the windshield spot because Perry was a friend of the Bucks and Punk probably figured he could push a midcarder around. You can spin the situation a lot of ways, if you are so inclined, Haven’r seen the footage or the angle around it, but Twitter claims AEW is removing the footage from their social media platforms due to negative reactions. So, yeah, Khan misjudged this one. Meltzer says TK has been wanting to show the footage for awhile. If that’s true, turning it into an angle probably wasn’t the way to win fans over to his side. I probably will avoid the footage just because the little bit I’ve heard about FTR’s promo afterwards sounds cringy and thin-skinned. And AEW apparently already went that route with an Adam Copeland promo.

Watching the Chris Colt episode now and I’m mostly just bored. Colt just seems like an unpleasant weirdo and not an interesting one. Wrestling is full of weirdos and drug addicts who are either more or interesting or at least mildly sympathetic. I’m 45 min in so I’ll probably finish the ep, but I could probably go the rest of my life without hearing any more about Colt. Dark Side is fairly depressing once you realize even the people no one has anything bad to say about were rotten, absentee fathers. There should be a drinking game built around someone saying “_______ was a good father” then telling a story that makes it clear he wasn’t a good father.

The Pirates are 6-1 so far this season and were 20-8 and in first place on May 1 last year. That alone should keep you from getting too excited or too depressed about how your team is doing during the first couple weeks of a six-month season.

Optics are bad, but Sutter Health Stadium is a much nicer place to watch a baseball game than Oakland Coliseum and I imagine Sacramento might provide hot crowds for at least a while, as opposed to Oakland (which allays has some excuse why they’re not supporting their pro sports teams). Probably a positive change in the short-term. Opening a new ballpark in Las Vegas in time for 2028 or 2029 seems a mite ambitious considering they don’t seem to have a blueprint yet, so far as I know.

Punk interview is interesting. Definitely worth a listen if you like fantasy stories.

How May people even know - or care - who Ziggy Haim or Max the Impaler are? It seems more like a couple obscure Indy wrestlers trying to drum up publicity over slight coincidences, I think it’s more likely that Logan is cosplaying the main character from Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (which stars a female Viking).

My takeaway is that Hebron Christian Academy must be really f***ing good. Wonder if Ryan gets his starting job back?

So… what does “who can go fuck himself” add to the conversation? Because you really seem to want me to know that he can do that.

Didn’t all the old accounts get purged in one of the board crashes? I seem to remember having to create a new username from scratch at least once following a major crash. Really surprised someone’s old log-in worked.

I’m guessing Kyrie will make up with the Nets sooner instead of later. Nets are a train wreck and Kylie can still play. If he does finally get himself bounced from the NBA, ehh, he’s well on his way to becoming a folk hero to some. lol, maybe banning him from the league would be a net win. He’s said a few times that basketball is keeping him from doing the great things he was put on this a earth for. If he gets bounced from the league, he can finally end world hunger and solve race relations.

Reviews have been exceptional so far. Nope, making everyone white doesn’t actually make for a better game any more than including minority characters does. It doesn’t really matter to me one way or the other. Final Fantasy XII is going to be a huge game with lots of moving elements. Picking one issue out of 100 or 1000 and forming an opinion about the game seems myopic to me. Probably should at least see the finished product before forming an opinion. Not that you really need a reason to not be interested in a game. Putting me on ignore seems like an overreaction, but probably the right call. Not sure what your problem with me is, but I’m not going to make it my problem too, so good luck.

Because it doesn’t’ check boxes? Lol, different strokes for different folks, I guess. I’d prefer they concentrate on making an entertaining game. In any case, I’m going to have to know a lot more before I form any opinions.
