What were those 3 defenders doing on that last goal? All ball watching and just letting the 1 player that they needed to defend sit there wide open at the 6 yard box. It was literally 4 v 8 for that goal.

How did this happen? GK was always one of our strongest positions.

LSUCIA program made it pretty easy to get FTE at a number of different companies. Big 4 plus the next 2-3 major CPA firms usually had the most number of resume drops and available positions, but there were about 30-40 companies looking to staff through the program.
I went through the program on the advice of my older bro. It was a great move. The course was pretty intense for the first semester, but it landed me with a big 4 internship. Everyone wanted big 4, but there were tons of other good options. I did "the draft" and dropped my resume with all the big 4 and Protiviti I think. 5 interviews in one day was pretty stressful.

Yeah, if only there were a whole continent full of African freak athletes whose most popular sport is soccer, they would for sure dominate in the sport.

Prices didn't fall for group stage, so I doubt they would for Knockout.
Who's Watching St. Denis Medical - Similar to The Office. NBC / Netflix
Posted by SUB on 6/29/26 at 11:25 am
I'm surprised there is no thread on this. I was pretty skeptical when I heard about this show, but it's basically a sequel in spirit to The Office. It feels even more so than The Paper, which actually is a sequel. It's basically The Office if the characters were all hospital staff.
At times, it does feel like they are leaning in a little too hard on emulating The Office, but honestly, I'm fine with it. The writer, Justin Spitzer, wrote for The Office for 7 seasons, so obviously, it's going to have a similar feel. The cast is great too.
The lead is Wendi McLendon-Covey, who plays the Michael Scott type character. You might remember her from Reno 911. She pulls it off.
David Alan Grier, who I have not seen in anything in forever, is great in it.
There's a Jim / Pam sort of dynamic going on between a couple cast members.
If you are nostalgic for The Office type of sitcom, give this show a watch. You can see the first season on Netflix, and the second season is on Peacock right now.

Other teams have freaks like Tyreek Hill playing soccer.. like Lebron.. etc etc
Our best athletes don’t play soccer. If we want to get better at soccer, that’s got to change.
Every four years, somebody who really doesn't understand soccer has this dumb take. A great soccer player is not great simply because they are "freaks" like you say. Messi, the GOAT, is 5' 7". He's not the greatest because of his physicality.
The U.S. talent problem has always been because of our youth soccer programs being arse backwards compared to how things are done in Europe. It has improved though over the last 10-15 years.
Every time I get food poisoning, I can't even keep water down. It's hell. It's like I have to starve myself of even water to allow my body to reset. I usually go to an urgent care and get an IV, which helps a lot.
re: Musicians you didn’t realize were once members of another popular band

One that I've always known but probably many don't:
J Tillman, otherwise known as Father John Misty, was the drummer for Fleet Foxes, and has since become more popular than the band he left. I loved Fleet Foxes first EP and Album. Their follow up was ok but they have been a huge disappointment since.

re: Why aren't brats more popular in the South?

You answered your own question.
I like brats, but I maybe had them 1 time at a friend's house (his family wasn't from Louisiana) when I was a kid. Cajun meats and sausages were just much more popular, and still are.
As for the rest of the south, it's probably similar.
$50K raise? Damn. How much are you making now? I couldn't fathom asking for a raise of that much unless I already had a pretty hefty salary. So I assume that's the case with you. If you are making $100K and want a 50% raise, I wouldn't even bother asking. You'd need a promotion for something that substantial. But if you are making $300K? That's a reasonable ask.

There is no significance to playing in the first knockout game, other than possibly getting less rest than all the other teams. You are dumb.
And the South African guy made contact with the ball.

Saw it tonight with the family. Everyone loved it. I hope they keep making these movies as long as they can. It’s really a joy to see these characters in these stories for so long. The writing is always on point and this one is no exception.
Conan was great as the Smarty Pants character.
