re: NY dim celebrates whitey leaving his areas.

Black conservatives and moderates "betray" their race because they see Democrat race/economic/crime policies as harmful and want a better situation for them. Their intentions, whether they be successful or not, are good.
White Democrats "betray" their race because they want to hold onto power and feel better about themselves by buying into lies and propaganda, even if it means their own eventual demise. Their intentions, whether they be successful or not, are selfish, divisive, and dangerous.

re: Best Superbowl You've Ever Seen

The best Super Bowl was the classic SB13 in the Orange Bowl when the Steelers barely beat the Cowboys 35-31.
26 Hall of Famers were on the field. Both Staubach and Bradshaw had over 100 quarterback ratings.

re: Early polling finds Julia Letlow ahead of Bill Cassidy in upcoming Republican primary
Posted by ATCTx on 2/4/26 at 12:15 pm to ragincajun03
Cassidy's vote to impeach Trump is disqualifying. Nothing else he votes on matters. If you are going to convict any president after they've been impeached by the House, the crime had better be severe if it's the other party. If it is your party, it had better be severe enough that most Senators in your own party are voting to convict. Neither of those was the case.
Letlow may be another RINO and no better, but he disqualified himself with his arrogant nonsensical vote. I hope he lives to regret it.

1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics - the undisputed Winter games GOAT!
Posted by ATCTx on 2/4/26 at 12:07 pm
Maybe it's nostalgia but I still get goosebumps thinking about those games. US and USSR were in a bitter Cold War. Us vs. them. Eric Heiden does the impossible winning five gold medals in speed skating and is overshadowed by a bunch of college kids thrown together to beat the mighty Russian professionals in the greatest upset in sports history (Sorry Buster Douglas, Villanova, and NC State).
It was just a different time. A more serious time. A more patriotic time. The hockey game was tape delayed. 1980 was pre-cable TV for almost everybody....just three channels to watch. Andy Leopold, the sportscaster on channel 2 I think, ended his segment with "If you don't want to know the score of the US vs USSR hockey game because you're planning to watch it tonight, change the channel now". (or something like that....who in the world was going to change the channel with that setup line!!!)
I guess Tonya and Nancy was more dramatic in a National Enquirer kind of way, but nothing will top 1980. Any of you boomers or gen X folks have any Lake Placid stories?

I'm an Olympics nut, but both summer and winter have dropped off in importance as there are just too many other sports competing for eyes that were not there back in the 70s-90s when the games were must-see.
There don't seem to be any compelling stories this olympics, nor personalities like a Shaun White. American women used to have at least one star figure skater certain to win gold. I don't even know who made our team.
Other than Lindsey Vonn, I don't really have an interest in any athlete this time, and now that she's limping into the games, she may be lucky to just complete her run.
I'll watch it because football is over, but it's never going to be what it once was....like most other sports unfortunately. Was there anything better than Jim McCay hosting every night or his outstanding work at Munich?

I guess you could comp his skills to Luka or Dirk but with a superior basketball mind and an assassin's killer instinct.
So yeah, he'd be a perennial All Star as long as his body allowed, which would likely be longer now that the game is less physical.

He will be more appreciated later. If he plays another year or two he will be top 10 in every category with a ring AND likely a MVP. He's a HOF lock.
All those tough years in Detroit may actually help his legacy because he took a beating and still put up numbers on terribly managed teams.
Once he got with a real organization/coach he won a ring, a MVP, and competed for championships.
Wait til the players he played with and against chime in when he retires. His standing in NFL history will only go up.

Paul McCartney (and Ringo) - It's comforting having Beatles still alive. When the last is gone, it will just feel different (to me at least).

I think Casting for the whole show was spot on and great! Franco was "ok", but all of the other characters were really really good for that time period etc.
When reading the book and imagining the movie cast, James Franco would not have been in my top 50. He was not that great. I was thinking more like a Jude Law/Gordon-Levitt/Edward Norton type.
For the female lead, It was always Gwyneth Paltrow, who I don't particularly like but hers is the face that I saw while reading the book.
The movie could have been 4 out of 5 stars based on the material. Instead just 2.5 for me.
Never before and never again. Each album equal to most bands' Greatest Hits issues, and after the breakup, songs from their solo releases could have made five more albums as good as any of their Beatles releases. And at the time, singles were preferable to album songs, so dozens of their most popular singles weren't on albums now considered classics.
What they did is really not possible, but here we are.

Welp that should lock up mvp for Stafford
And punch his ticket to the Hall of Fame. He had the ring but not First Team All Pro. Brees has one of each and in 2-3 years Stafford's career stats will look similar.
Stafford was a "probable" HOFamer going into this season but this (and a likely but not certain MVP) erases the argument. He gets in..and deserves it.

Even if his democrat voters understood what this really means (most don't) they survive on collectivism paid for by people who provide a societal value. Anyone with the means and opportunity to leave will have to consider it if they haven't already. He's openly saying if you work and try to better yourself, don't bother because he's taking it and giving it to those who don't. F this guy.

One could argue Hershel Walker deserved three Heismans. For a career, it could also be Tebow.
For a season, probably Barry and Burrow would make a very short list.

The 2011 loss to Alabama is the most disappointing loss in LSU history simply because of the stakes involved, who the opponent/coach was, and because we could finally have something to hang over their heads after decades of getting dominated.
As for regular season games, 1979 USC was a religious experience that only lacked a victory. That LSU fans still call a loss one of the greatest games in our history speaks volumes.
Even though there were no trophies or titles at stake, it's a "you had to be there" to appreciate its magnitude. It would top 1997 Florida as LSU's greatest home upset IMO.
And that was a BS facemask call on Benji! McClendon knew it. Benji knew it, and USC knew it!!!!!

Sela,
I got bifocals in my early 40s and readers around 50 (you can get a pack of 3 for less than $20 at CVS/WMart/etc) but they come in different focuses so make sure you get the right one. Keep one at your workspace and one in the car for starters).
Bifocals aren't bad. A simple eye exam will get you the right prescription which you can take to Target for a good price for lenses and frames.
Good luck!

re: Why do 80’s channels and compilations focus on the early 1980’s?
Posted by ATCTx on 12/16/25 at 12:13 pm to weagle1999
This is pretty easy. The top artists/bands of the 70s (Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Boston, Journey, Foreigner, Styx, Prince, Heart, Michael Jackson, Bowie, the Stones, McCartney/Harrison, Queen, the Police, Duran Duran, etc etc etc) peaked or dropped off from 1980 - 1986. With a few exceptions, they were pretty much done making their best albums.
At the end of the 80s, Guns and Roses, Janet Jackson, and Madonna kept things going along with Hair Bands, but there is no comparison with the first half of the 80s. Not even close.
I was a student/young adult during the 80s and have no bias either way.
