Again, if you were Gabbie, Kate, Jada growing up, realizing that you actually would wind up playing for a D1 program, and then actually joining that program.... They did not think: -they would be able to pick up some decent money doing TikToks for tax software, or getting a slice of the dough...

Yah. It's been all the rage in the foodie community for a few years now. Food and Wine articles and whatnot. You see full shelves of it on The Bear. It's Japanese. I will say it is good. Not going to knock your socks off or make you say "wow, that's game changing" or "I've never tasted...

Kewpie FTW. An egg salad with Kewpie? It's just "that" much better. Almost imperceptible...but only almost. It won't knock the doors off, but it is a slightly noticeable upgrade.

I doubt she was going anywhere til her niece moves on.

Yah. This is where Stewart's propensity to create what he thinks as humor through performative hyperbolic self-righteousness while ignoring nuance and one last step of critical thought, diminishes sometimes very good messages. Or misses them completely. I can name any number of examples. But...

1. Well, you know....if it wasn't for the UI Scottish Highlanders, I never would have discovered Iowa. Never would have attended Iowa. But I wanted to go somewhere where I would continue playing in college, even if not competitively or at a high level. So, yah. It's a talent and a hobby...

After being reminded of some of this, I take back my earlier post, which was completely serious about when I made it. But you all refreshed me a bit. 3. Dadman's right. The stuck punts, collectively. I'm sure there were some safeties. I know there was a blocked punt after the defense held...

Not too shabby for an assistant coach of a program that has been consistently very good, but hasn't exactly consistently brought home tons of hardware beyond periodically. That's not a knock. Certainly, historically, and even in pre-clark...the program is very much in the top tier in the Big 10...

I'm kind of ambivalent about the Olympics for Clark. The WNBA should absolutely BEG for it. It's good for them. Even if she hardly sniffs the court or doesn't make much of a splash. Just let NBC's team do with it as they will. NBC Olympic production is usually awfully good. They'll be able to...

Fun fact. I didn't think Taurasi was actually still playing. I was vaguely aware of who she was...from like 20 years ago when she was a great player in college. I assumed that, you know, since she was always on TV that she was like Peyton Manning. Long retired and moving in to some form of...

One thing we gotta recognize. The mania didn't happen overnight. It built over 4 years. And it had ups and downs. Up during last year's run....then tailing off. Then charging back up again in the latter part of the season with the race to record. Then going all out manic and snowballing...

Some of those players being old enough to be Clark's grandmother. Not that I have anything against age. I mean, I'm old. My wife and I spent 20 minutes the other day talking about the various banks and grocery stores we used to go to when we lived in different areas. So, yah I'm old. I don't...

To me, that's an assumption. That may or may not be accurate. I'm far more likely to believe that race is actually far from being at the center of this. Because I do know for a fact that if men were going so far out of their way to tell people they shouldn't appreciate a wildly successful...

Cheerleading gets all the good carve outs. I mean, it's only a sport when someone says it isn't a sport. If you agree (rightfully so) that it's a sport, they'll then tell you it's not a sport. What a gig. Also, how can there be 35 different "nationals"? It seems like I hear about some team...

I'm fully aware of it. The goalpost moving is comical. And hypocritical. I started a list of it in another thread somewhere. I couldn't put it into words what I was seeing, until my wife did. Just how vicious women are to other women. She's not super passionate about sports. Yes, she's a...
