    Acuna has reached 15/30 in just 70 games. His HR pace is slow enough he may not get the 40/40 (unless he goes on a tear, which he does sometimes), but 30/60 would be pretty cool and also a 'first'. Between finally being fully healthy, slightly bigger bases, and the new pitching rules he's just been stealing up a storm this year.

    I went to the game on Saturday. It's just a fun team and atmosphere to experience. I hope the Braves can get another world series run in them with a health Acuna since he was injured for the 2021 run. He's a special player.

    My hunch is that EA will enter into separate, individual NIL deals with the star players who legitimately could command more money as part of the marketing for the game, in order to secure their likenesses.

    I was actually going to say this same thing. For example, if it was coming out this year like initially intended, Caleb Williams would be making significantly more than $500.

    Also, it's probably worth noting this franchise moves numbers, but it's not FIFA or Madden numbers. That could change given it's been a decade, but  NCAA 14 sold roughly 1 Million copies.

    Chaos Auburn is definitely in play, as they sneak in just above the predictive 50% threshold. (Though if you factor in transfers, they drop to 47%.

    BrAUther Hugh definitely has a lot of people slowly drinking the kool-aid. I could see wagering over 6.5, but my ceiling is 8 wins.

    I think some people are talking themselves into 9-3.

    So we might have reached the moment where Joel Osteen is the most prominent televised preacher and he’s notorious for different reasons than Pat and Jerry

    He gives me the creeps for different reasons. Although, he was a bit ahead of his time. He was one of the first people I know to livestream to a big audience on the internet. 

  5. He gave me the creeps growing up, and it was guaranteed it was going to be on a tv if my grandmother was watching us as kids.

    For those that subscribe to Christianity, so many Christians miss the point of leading people to God.

  6. I broke 200 miles logged running for the year yesterday. In using an app to track the distance, I believe this is the earliest in a calendar year I have achieved that goal.

    My next run should put around 20 miles for the month, so getting there in the first 10 days of a month isn't too shabby either. 

    I am choosing to take a rest day today.

    Regarding who is paying - just wanted to again remind everyone that the NFL itself does not want team's paying full freight for their stadiums (namely since they don't want the precedent set)

    From the story

    (Mark Lamping is the Jags Team President)

    Didn't Kroenke basically agree to pay all of the sofi construction stadium and that was part of the allure of it. If so, precedent exists. 

    Also, Dalvin Cook formally informed he's being released. Curious to see where he lands and hoping (*cough*Dolphins*cough*).

    I would be willing to bet that there is no chance in hell Messi won't play in Atlanta as the crowd will be near 70k and him not playing would be a PR catastrophe. 

    I would hope so, or Atlanta shells out to get some grass on the pitch for those games. The Galaxy coming to Atlanta with Zlatan there was kind of a non-factor as I don't think Zlatan ever played in that stadium due to the artificial turf.

    Go get that ticket now if you want it; prices are going to hit the roof soon.

    Yeah too late. They spiked when I looked this morning (around $140 for decent seats) to now you can't find even higher seats for under $300.

    Also, there's a chance Messi doesn't play in Atlanta. Historically, your high profile guys that come over from European leagues tend to avoid playing on artificial turf stadiums.

    Wonder who will replace Phil Neville as coach. 

    I know Tata Martino has expressed interest in returning to MLS, and there's the Josef Martinez connection. I have no clue how Messi would feel about him.

    If you just want to mow down dudes with Lightsabers and Force Powers - Jedi Outcast or Force Unleashed. Outcast is a better game but it is old. Force Unleashed is underrated - somewhat harmed by its dreadful sequel

    The opening section of Force Unleashed is one of the most satisfying beginnings to a game. Definitely all time great casual stroll in a video game.

    Quick question about the Lasso finale: Was Jade even in it at all? I assume she was at least in the background or a group scene, but it’s wild that I have no recollection of her being there. Even though she was a paper-thin character with no discernible reason given for her sudden affection for Nate, she was a really prominent character in his story! 

    I think they showed her in a scene towards the end. It was like a group dinner scene or something at the restaurant. I remember seeing Derek awkwardly floating in the background too.

    Apple is going to give them an insane amount of money for a few more seasons, spin off, and/or movie, that has to be why it was listed as a Season Finale and not Series Finale. It seems like everyone involved is smart enough to make it work, they could do two separate shows, one with Ted back in Kansas City and the other with the Greyhounds and the start up of the Women's team.

    That could be the case. It also could be that Apple just doesn't differentiate between season and series. I'd imagine this is the first show to somewhat end on its own terms there.

    I know it says Season Finale in the description, but I’m choosing to believe - no matter what happens - that it’s the end of Ted Lasso. That was near perfect.

    Small spoilers I guess, but I’m actually interested in a potential spin-off of the women’s club idea.

    Yeah, I just couldn't stay up late enough to knock out that episode last night. It'll be probably early in my evening tonight.

    My time to watch much of anything is limited these days, but I did knock out the final 3 episodes of Succession last night. That was a mini gauntlet of insane and grueling tv.

    I think it does hit home the point that there are no winners in that world, and poor Kendall is in about as low of a place as one could be after that last lie and some other truths come out.

    I'm gonna be so sad when this ends up being as shitty as modern Madden games.

    It's probably going to follow the model of the past iteration of utilizing the previous year Madden engine. 

  16. I know we talked about this in reference to Jedi Survivor, but my current living situation has a data cap on internet. With all major releases clocking in at over 100GB now, I'm curious to see what the download size will be for FF16 on the disc version. I very rarely get a disc copy since the early PS4 era, but in cases like this, it may make sense if I can get most of what I need off the disc for a game that sounds like it will not even have a day 1 patch. However, the file size issue and blu ray discs probably means it's just an access key to a download.

    Oh man, I love him so much. First match of the night, first exchange of the night and he sounds like it's the most exciting thing he's ever seen. Somehow, some way, he ALWAYS sounds like he is breathlessly enthralled by the action. And it never sounds like he's forcing it. 

    I've heard him a good bit before he came to WWE because he would call a lot of the Atlanta United games on the Fox Regional (I think he still mostly does United on the MLS package too), and it is kind of the same thing there.
