Don't feel like digging up a WNBA thread so I'll put this story here.
Gregg Doyel, supposedly a professional journalist, decided that Caitlin Clark's intro press conference was the perfect time to..........hit on her. And somehow he hasn't been fired yet.

Fucker hit one OVER that monster scoreboard in right. Sweet baby Jebus.
Imagine how far that ball would have gone with one those late 90s juiced bats. Good lord.

Jack Edwards announced that he will retire after the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals
Followed by some kind of announcement about his health, I suspect. He's been very obviously "off" all season.

Good lord, the effort on that play was ridiculous. And to not get the tag......

Detroit needed to win and needed Philly to not lose in regulation. Detroit handled their business with another miracle - tying with 3.3 seconds, killing a penalty in OT, and winning in a shootout. Alas, Philly couldn't handle theirs so Detroit was eliminated.
Detroit threw away the playoffs, bottom line.

Oh please. The Caps are going to choke tonight and not make it to the playoffs.
I'm OK with that.

Rangers clinched the President's Trophy
I am going to be doubly pissed when they lose to the Capitals in the first round
There's still hope for you - they didn't get to 119 points*.
* - no President's Trophy winner with 119+ points has won the Cup.

He's the second Michigan guy busted for drink driving in the last couple months.

I like the Golden Eagles, the former minor league team, we'll see.
With there already being one "Golden" team, I can't see this being the pick.

I've only been once when I was 15/16 and I was bored that there wasn't much to do but sit by the water. Now I'm 42 and cannot wait to go and not do much but sit by the water.
When my wife & I went to Hawaii, one of my best days there was the day I just sat on the beach drinking Coke and reading a book about the 1992 Dream Team.

Fan base seems pissed over this and I can't say I blame them. Pope may well turn out to be the guy, but it doesn’t seem like he was on anyone’s radar earlier in hiring season and it’s quite a turnaround in 24 hrs. UK fans started the day thinking they would probsbly get Scott Drew. At lunchtime, it was rumored UK was offering Dan Harley $100 mil for eight years. Nope. Dinneritme talk was Billy Donovan. Nothing came of that. So they end the day hiring Pope and his 0 NCAA tourney wins and one season in a power conference.
Clearly Kentucky was impressed with his 1-8 record against Gonzaga.

Yeah I have no idea what happened when the calendar flipped from February to March but it's dispiriting after spending most of the season pretty optimistic the Wings were finally moving back upwards.
A decent part of it is Larkin getting injured against Florida on March 2nd and missing 8 games where Detroit went 2-6. But that doesn't explain DeBrincat absolutely disappearing. Or most of the rest of the offense.
-
The Wings continue their slide as their offense has just evaporated. Alex DeBrincat hasn't scored since I was in high school. Every player other than Raymond and Larkin has turned into Val Filppula and is passing the puck instead of shooting. Our waiting for somebody to be available to block before shooting. They also all seem to be allergic to one-timers, preferring instead to stop the puck and give the goalie time to get across.
Brutal.
-
During last night's game, Wings forward Andrew Copp was high-sticked in full view of at least one ref and linesman with no call. The refs got together and determined there would be no review because there was no injury on the play.
Copp suffered a broken cheekbone on the play.

Doing this right in front of the ref might've been a bad call. Enjoyed CC tossing it off Paige's back even though it ran like .3 seconds only.Yep, good call. Sucks it determined the ending but it was a foul. I've always believed the clock shouldn't matter when it comes to officiating so kudos to the ref for calling this one.

Shohei Ohtani hit his first Dodgers home run Wednesday night. The Dodgers proceeded to take that nice moment and crap all over it by threatening the fan who caught it and then Ohtani (apparently) lied about meeting the fan:

Haven't seen Cocktail in ages but remember it being total Regan era propaganda like Ferris Bueller, even though Cruise's character turns down a payoff from Shue's dad.
I honestly don't remember much details about the movie since it wasn't good enough to watch again and I haven't seen it in 30 years.

What I find fascinating about Punch Drunk Love is that it doesn't ask Sandler to be much different than normal. A bit more subdued, but he's still playing the same basic character as in most of his so-called comedies. It's just the context around him is so different that it pushes everything into a different register and results in a really special movie.
Sandler was legitimately good in Rein Over Me. He's got the skill in there somewhere, he just rarely uses it.

Watched some more movies....
Birth (leaving Criterion on April 30)
Movie is pretty close to perfect despite its creepy subject. Nicole Kidman does a great job as a disconnected socialite who starts believe a kid’s story that he’s her dead husband. The movie does make you wonder how the kid thought of the scheme in the first place.
The director said this movie was about “eternal love,” but really it could be about mental illness.
The soundtrack is happy and hopeful which completely goes against the tone of the film (and is a wise choice).
This movie is almost Kubrick like at times (especially echoing Eyes Wide Shut) but it’s different enough to be it’s own thing.
Cocktail (leaving Criterion on April 30)
The movie is a warning about commercialism and how money shouldn't rule people's lives. Yet, it was made in the '80s where being superficial and money driven was simply acceptable. Reganomics in the movie just simply works. The movie starts out great for the first hour or so - when it turns serious, it turns bad. Tom Cruise has loads of charisma obviously but even he can't rise above the material.
If the movie just focused on bartenders becoming rich somehow, it would have been great. Instead, it turns into melodrama over a bet about a bartender bagging an older woman (which is really gross if you think about it). The women in the movie are bargaining chips until all of a sudden Tom Cruise's character realizes he has genuine feelings for Elizabeth Shue's character (who is the best part of the movie). These genuine feelings happen in the last 25 minutes.
So it's not the worst movie ever but it's bad in the sense that it has drama that wasn't needed.
Quo Vadis, Aida? (leaving Hulu on April 9)
Devastatingly perfect. Probably should have gotten Best International Film at the 2020 Oscars over Another Round (but I guess seeing Mads Mikkelsen dancing does it).
The film tells of the despair and agony from the Srebrenica massacre and how a translator is helpless to try to protect her family from being taken away. You can see the frantic in Jasna Duricic (Aida) as she tries to find a way to save them and deal with the forced bureaucracy from Thom Karremans (Johan Heidenbergh).
The scene where the men are lead to a room and die is chilling. Not in what's shown but what's not shown. The scenes toward the end where Aida visits her old apartment and finally sees the remains of her family is tough to endure at times. The ending showing the schoolkids performing shows a lot in their faces - they are still recovering from what they've endured; some of the kids and adults can't even smile or enjoy themselves anymore.
Definitely seek out this movie before it leaves Hulu or find a Blu Ray copy.
Shue is the only good part of Cocktail. The movie's concept and plot are just so stupid and ridiculous. But she's so hot and interesting that you can forget all that when she's around.

I think the most interesting part for me was the $67m in annual TV revenue. That's a different story than the poverty Oakland ownership has tried to sell us for decades.

I dunno, I'll take 15 & 5 and leading an NBA team to multiple conference finals, back-to-back NBA finals and a title over a lot of guys with better stats. And he didn't just have that impact at the NBA level either. He showed the same leadership in college and at the FIBA World Cup. The Naismith Hall is easy to get into, though. There's no doubt about that.
There's no denying he had a good career. But...
If you start naming a list of great guards, in order, you're gonna be way, way, way down the list before you get to Chauncey. There's room for you to be able to say, "yeah, that dude had a great career" without saying the guy was a HOFer. Chauncey is in that space for me. But, hey, good for him!
