Mister TV

Texas seems like it's own thing compared to the rest of the "South", as a Yankee the places I've been and people I met in Texas were way way different than the Carolina's, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

It's going to be a placement game so 1st vs. 1st, 2nd vs. 2nd and so on. Having it be a "rivalry game" would give teams that have a yearly "rivalry game" with say the Lions or Jags a competitive advantage, also there's not enough rivalries to go around so there'd be the contrived ones like MLB has with Pittsburgh vs. Detroit, Philly vs. Boston, Arizona vs. Texas and Colorado vs. Houston. Doing placement games also allows marquee teams like Dallas, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, KC, LA Rams, New England and Chicago to potentially play each other more frequently.

Austin, Taker and Michaels are Texans and Texas really isn’t the “South” it’s Texas.

I watched the new cut the other day, Coppola moved some things around and made some cuts in the beginning that made more sense to the Vatican Bank stuff and what the check Mary gave to the Cardinal at the party was really about. I always felt they miscast Vincent, Altobello and Joey Zasa, Andy Garcia, Eli Wallach and Joe Mantegna are great actors but none were right for their parts. Mantegna’s Chicago accent really stands out to the point I was waiting for him to say Da Bears.

Season 3 is more like a 5 hour movie than a series.

Also they always go on about how the Steelers “are traditionally a power running team” which is totally false, the 70’s Steelers were all about traps, sweeps and draw plays, then when they changed rules to open up the passing game they aired it out, Cower only went with the power running game when he had big backs like Jerome Bettis and Bam Morris. Even when the Steelers were slightly good in the early 60’s it was due to Bobby Layne chucking it down field.

Arenas in the Northeast usually had a curfew, the biggest reason was overtime for arena workers started after 11PM, it would be “waived” if the promoter would kick in for the OT.

How is Robert Davi not in this? Also the whole “we can’t get work because of our politics” excuse is pretty hollow when “talented” conservatives/republicans like Tim Allen, Adam Sandler, Vince Vaughn, Kevin James and so on haven’t had any hold ups.

Their O-Line, Running Backs and QB, aren’t that good! The first half of the season they hid it pretty well but the rest of the league figured out what they were doing and that’s why we’re seeing what we’re seeing. They really need to bench Ben since he’s useless and is throwing worse than The Duck did last year. But even with the injuries the Steelers D is one of the best in the league, that’s going to win you some close games.

Switch it from unfrozen Nazi to unfrozen 1950’s Soviet and that gimmick would have been money.

TC can take players over three at a time in his chopper.

I doubt USA rebrands, the name have been around since the late 1970's and I think the days of goofy names like Spike TV are long gone. Any original programming under the Comcast banner that has a budget is going to be on Peacock, so that leaves USA with WWE, reruns of comfort shows, old movies that can be stretched to 2 or 3 hour blocks, and el cheapo reality/game shows. Losing the WWE would kill their overall rating and drop them down with the likes of WGN-America and Sundance, USA needs an anchor show and that's WWE wrestling on Monday nights.

No idea, I haven't listened to local over the air radio on the regular since 2001.

The disco backlash was totally racist and homophobic, but just as Charley Steiner said in the doc The Bee Gees were insanely over played, I was around 5 years old in that era and I still have memories of wanting to get out of the car whenever The Bee Gees or Andy Gibb came on the radio again and again and again. Also even without the backlash the disco fad would have been gone by 1980, those white suburbanites who were hitting up discos in 1978 and 1979 replaced their polyester pants and gold chains for jeans and cowboys hats in 1980 and 1981 thanks to John Travolta's next flick Urban Cowboy, while the hipper younger set moved onto breakdancing and early hip hop or New Wave.

The New York Times is reporting it too, will they go with something cool like Spiders or something lame like Rockers? https://twitter.com/nytmike/status/1338291508659761153?s=20

Pitt has also opted out of playing a bowl game. As a Pitt fan I’m glad they did this, no sense at putting the players and coaching staff at risk playing in a exhibition game.

What was the GT coach so pissy about?

Most likely, but the interior picture is of a Cadillac but in the other pic Baba is standing next to a Lincoln Continental. Bruno did send him one of his old cars when he upgraded to a Rolls, not sure if he shipped him a Caddy or Lincoln.

I've seen the same Pontiac J2000 aka Sunbird that I saw last week when I started watching, so their still showing 1982 episodes, that is the only year they called the Sunbird a J2000. I think they showed new episodes for most of the summer back then so it might be a long time before they hit 2001 episodes.

They’re showing episodes from 1982 and it’s a blast to watch, I would have turned 8 during that summer so it has that good nostalgia and trying to figure out the price of things from that era is challenging. It’s also that weird time between decades so it’s still kind of late 70’s but what everyone thinks were 80’s are creeping in, so the same episode might have a super 8 film camera and a Texas Instruments home computer.

Missing both Pouncey and Connor on offense really hurt the Steelers last week and tonight.

Has the play by play guy gotten anyone’s name right?

Wow! What was the over/under for the 1st half, one would assume that ref had the over.

Wonder Woman is going to be the first movie HBO Max streams in 4K, so one would assume the 2021 flicks will also be in 4K.
