Days of Thunder was on TV the other day. Tuned into it just for background noise. Just your basic 90's popcorn flick. Every time I looked up on the screen I was amazed how beautiful and how much ambiance comes through on screen from the cinematography. I don't know enough about movie making to know why it was different compared to how they make movies today. It was one of those things that struck me was just how much better this movie looks than anything I've seen come out recently.

Until I see a player that can make a 3rd and 1 automatic like Cam did I have a hard time believing that.

I'm curious did we ever get stopped on a 3rd or 4th and short in 2010?

I could be misremembering but Dunk wasn’t approached about fixing the joust(winning) in the books correct?


I certainly don't recall that either but why in the hell would they need to ask someone to WIN on purpose? Dunk has zero reason to be a part of any scheme that requires him to win because he should be trying his hardest to do that on purpose anyways.
All the males in my family are bald. Uncle told me if he could grow a full head of hair like me he would never cut it. Somehow that statement turned into a bet between my wife and I that I wouldn't cut my hair in 2023. Won he bet. Now I've spend so much time growing it long I hesitate to cut it again even through I hate having long hair. Had it trimmed once in that time frame but still full length.
Binged it today. Really.enjoyed it. First 5 episodes are great. Petered off a little towards the end for me but for me this has been the first Disney thing I've watched a whole season of since S1 of Mandalorian.

By racking up so many fouls Pet gets a lot more real time rest for the amount of game time.he misses.
He's forcing up a lot of tough shots too. Two games I went to he was hitting all his pre game shots.
This isn't the PGA or real golf. This is a stupid contest to roll the ball through a small hole in a wall. Once it hit the wall and didn't go in I'm fine with them picking it up.
Wife and I did it last year. It was a lot of fun.

Was eating there last Sunday and asked the waitress if they were doing it again. She said they were but this year they aren't taking reservations and are just doing first come first serve. Seems to kill half the vibe of being able to say you have a reservation at Waffle House :lol:

this stupid argument again? Brady made Belichick, Brady leaves New England and wins in Tampa the next year.


Maybe you guys are too young to remember Brady's first 4-5 years as a starter but he was good top 10 worthy but wasn't the player throwing up 4k yards and 30 TD's. NE was just really solid top to bottom and would beat yo with great defense and exploit whatever weaknesses you had on D. Brady's SB MVP was a joke in 01 that Defense held the greatest show on turf to just 17 points was the star that day. Did Tom even have 150 yards passing that game?

You need a good QB to win a SB. But a good QB can't do it by himself. Those two made each other. Bill was able to put players on the field in positions to cause matchup problems and Tom was the perfect trigger man to put the ball where it needed to be. But 01, 03, and 04 SB seasons were all on the D.
If I were to guess I imagine they took a corner, and he accelerated out of the corner before they were lined back up with path of the jeep. Then slingshot physics like they were being pulled behind a ski boat took over and they accelerated much faster than the jeep. A slalom skiier typically reaches peak speeds 1.5x's as much as the boat speed. With less friction I imagine the sled could have easily been 2x the speed of the jeep as the riders/rope reached the "bottom" of the pendulum action. That speed would be sideways perpendicular to the direction of the jeep towards the curb. He might have been only doing 10-15mph but slingshot them 20-30 into the curb and tree.

I've always been a Liberty Overall guy. Notice Big Smith is made by liberty. Wonder why the two different name plates?

Cloths brands always try to make a "new look" every year to get people to come in and buy new clothes. They know people with low self-esteem who's identity is wrapped around the clothes they buy and wear will chase the new trend. There is a certain sense of nirvana when you reach old man stage and DGAF what other people think about what you are wearing and you can just wear whatever the heck you like and feel comfortable in.
Thought they could throw blank checks and buy a championship but there is a lot of talent out there and you still have to build a good cohesive team and select the right 105.

I definitely have it. Skin crawling sensation that starts at the back of my skull down my neck when I look at those pictures. First time I ever noticed it when I had a pickle spear I bent it like a u and it pushed all the seeds out and gave me that skin crawling sensation. Took my years before I would.even look straight at a pickle spear.
Industry tried to Auto Play after Knight of the 7 Kingdoms. I had never heard of it and noticed it had 4 seasons so I was curious if it was sort a watch. Might give it a chance.
The string in the but crack doesn't look very hygienic. I approve.
