What was the theory?

iirc, Jimmy and Kim worked together to create Saul Goodman. And Kim was in the background, helping Jimmy pull strings as Saul.

How about Houston for a first time.

Blame Tilman Fertitta.


Had he wanted to pay the expansion fee, he could have had Columbus' spot in 2000. Seattle's spot was also seriously considered for Houston.

Then, again, he could have had the Coyotes last year (which is where the NHL wanted them to go), had he been willing to pay.

MFer is cheap, and the NHL doesn't want to dick around with that.

Remember kids, cities don't have franchises. *People* have franchises that play in cities.

If Friedkin is a legit player in the Houston market, they'll be no. 34 to ATL's 33. But if it's all on Fertitta, Houston is DOA.

When we lost Quenneville I thought it was going to fall apart. I was wrong

Not gonna lie, I thought the same.

Losing Gudas was a big blow, I thought. But the deadline acquisitions of Jones and Marchand are paying incredible dividends. If Florida closes out in 5 (I don't think they will), you can make a strong argument for Marchand as the Smythe winner.

There's no universe where Marcus Lattimore, even with his injuries, shouldn't be on this list.

He should be in over Austin, Cook, and maybe McCaffery. He was unstoppable.

Always is.

Clemson is way better at basketball and baseball. Their football team had a down season and still won 10 games something South Carolina hasn’t done since spurrier.

---

A dogshit USC basketball team beat Clemson last year, and went 3-0 against the ACC. Our baseball program is in the wilderness right now, and *still* has a better trophy case in spite of being trash for a decade. Baseball was also the only sport Clemson beat SC in, and SC won the overall season series in all sports *yet again.*

Clemson "had a down season" in football because SC went into their house and broke their nose. Clemson just graduated a class of seniors who went 0-2 against SC in Memorial Stadium.

Football has been 50/50 since Beamer has been at the helm, rebuilding a Muschampian dumpster fire.

The argument that Clemson owns the state is literally untrue.

All good, homes.

Seems like this is a commonly missed joke, despite being a partial plot point to the flick.

Maybe, just maybe, y'all should actually WATCH THE DAMN MOVIE that's been referenced.

Ferrell's character routinely says Eva Mendes is cute, not hot whenever Wahlberg talks about how gorgeous she is.

A lot of the expansion teams in all 4 major sports in the 90s had wacky logos and color palettes but have since backtracked to more boring/traditional uniforms.

---

Some of them were dated, and some of them aged well. The Jaguars original look was perfect, and they've started to shift back to it. The Carolina Panthers have stayed almost perfectly consistent.

The Florida Panthers original look was awesome, but somehow their new look is even better. Their uniforms are elite. The Sharks went back to their OG look, and the Ducks recolored theirs (even though the jade/eggplant was awesome).

The Rockies suck no matter what, and the Marlins should go back to the Dontrelle Willis unis. The Diamondbacks looked their best when they were using sand/red, and abandoned purple/orange.

Of all those clubs, the Rays upgraded in everything. Name has dual meaning, still use the Devil Ray, and their colors are better than the 1998 gradient look.

Beadle is the most mid woman with a platform that I can think of.

She's insufferable.
