Joe Eszterhas wrote an amazing article for Rolling Stone about Knievel's Snake River Canyon Jump, the title of the article is "King of the Goons".

Turk 182 infuriated him! Sadly Turk 182 isn’t on any streaming services, would totally watch it tonight if it was.

The Official Roger Ebert Youtube account is posting a ton of his reviews from the 80's that were syndicated and played on local news broadcasts. There's a lot of reviews for movies that I watched all the time on HBO or Showtime like Gotcha!, Moving Violations, and The Man with One Red Shoe, but haven't even thought of since 1992. Ebert gets really agitated in his review for Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

My neighborhood bookie didn't take any action on the first week of XFL games due to not knowing if it was going to be fake or not, I don't think anyone attempted to bet the rest of the season due to how bad the games were.

The Lions look like they’re wearing the Carolina Panthers alternative uniforms.

Hysterical that the crowd in whatever Atlanta suburb is 75% Mets fans.

Bill Simmons said on his podcast that a whole very good segment on the Evel Knievel jump was cut due to time and not really fitting with the story being told.

I should have said schools, the B1G and SEC want UVA and UNC, when it comes to VT and NC State not so much.

So are they going to play Risk or arm wrestle to decide who gets the better ACC teams from Virginia and North Carolina?

I don't have an issue with him bailing, I can totally see whoever was supposed to pay this kid trying to stiff him and pulling the "What are you going to do, sit out the rest of the season?" and the kid called them on their bluff.

Kelly's Heroes is great, yeah not sure what you could cut out.

Pitt’s #1 ranked Women’s Volleyball team just beat #3 Penn State in a sold out Petersen Events Center!

The ACC is going to blow up is just Big 12 fanboy bs, sure Clemson & FSU are suing with the hope that the SEC or Big 10 will take them, but those conferences really don’t need them and the whole GOR lawsuit will be in the courts for years. What’s more likely to happen is the the SEC and Big 10 pick off who they want from the ACC and Big 12 near the end of the decade and you’ll see new conference with teams from the ACC and Big 12.

Hopefully the conference realignments will get Pitt & WVU into the same conference so the Brawl can be played at the end of the season, would be a perfect primetime Black Friday game.

Pitt wins!

Backyard Brawl is fun as usual, just had a WVU fake punt for a 1st down, then 3 plays later Pitt blocks a punt and runs it in for a TD.

Keep an eye on TCM, they usually run it when baseball season is starting and I can see them doing a night for Jones at some point.

Lyke's contract was up at the end of the year, it now seems like the Pitt's chancellor wasn't interested in an extension so Lyke had to start looking for another gig. Pitt has always shoot itself in the dick and made dumb decisions like this after a little bit of success, Lyke has done a hell of a job in creating stability in football and men's basketball after dumb firing & hiring decisions of previous AD's, and totally reformed Pitt's Olympic Sports which were basically nonexistent before she got there. Also, there's been talk about Lyke not being on the ball when it comes to NIL, I feel that's a bad take since Pitt has nowhere near the alumni base of Penn State & Ohio State who the local media and message board nerds want to compare them too, and Pitt doesn't have a billionaire sugar daddy who's going to come up with some NIL scheme, their billionaire sugar daddies throw money around on the academic side of things.

Greg Olsen is really bad at announcing, at the end of the Steelers-Falcons he was yelling about how the Steelers just have to take a knee, there was still way too much time for that. Then he was praising Pittsburgh OC Arthur Smith for getting a big win over the team that fired him, ummm they didn’t score any TD’s, Boz kicked three 50 yard+ field goals and his team has one of the best D’s in the league going against mediocre white QB Kirk Cousins.

The Giants Montreal Canadians jerseys and Grey Poupon pants is a really bad look.

In the NFL the home team has the choice of what color they want to wear, the visiting team has no say, there was a stretch in the 70's and 80's where the NFC East teams would wear white at home so the Cowboys had to wear their blue jerseys, which supposedly were "bad luck". In college the visiting team must agree on wearing a color jersey if the home team wants to wear white, but the SEC has a rule that overrides that so LSU can wear white in conference games.

What was the timeframe of the big contract Henry had that Vince totally wanted out of?

I had teachers play "historical" movies that weren't really historical all the time, in 9th grade my social studies teacher showed us The Guns of Navarone over the course of the week, then someone mentioned they made a sequel Force 10 from Navarone and we watched that a few weeks later. Also, had an English teacher show us One Eyed-Jacks purely due to it being his favorite movie and recently coming out on VHS.

The main reason I didn't watch it was due to ditching Disney+ after one of their price increases, will totally watch it once I rejoin at some point.
