Hinch is Gregory Peck at the end of 12 O'Clock High.

We didn't have a servant's elevator in my building. We had to ride up in the same elevator car with the unwashed. Luckily there was a velvet rope to keep them on their side.

If Michigan players had thrashed an MSU player beneath the stadium -- at the instigation of a Michigan assistant coach -- what would the punishment have been? I can imagine it would have been pretty dire.

Joyce Vance is also an Alabama person as I recall.

I keep hearing Hitler and Goebbels when I hear the term "woke" used as a weapon. Stalin used the weapons at hand (the folly of western intellectuals and dreamers) to oppress and dominate.

Not sure I trust Parnas but...I really don't trust Giuliani

Trevor Reed story is very interesting. Imagine how fired up he was to fight the Russians after his imprisonment.

Weirdly, Nick Saban is probably the most progressive figure in Alabama. After Saban, the most progressive element is likely the state chapter of the [insert ridiculously arch-right wing organization from the before times]. Possible answers: Montgomery Alabama Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (for all I know there isn't one) Anita Bryant fan club Evil Scientists Who Would Have Gotten Away With It If It Hadn't Been For Those Meddling Kids League

Who followed Cabrera/Haase in the order? Perhaps they would have intentionally walked Cabrera. Jake though...hmmm

Destroy the first four.

Good point in the blog

Hate fuel. Destroy the first 4 opponents like Forrest Whitaker in Fast Times at Ridgemont High

the weird splits when Haase catches are weird.

Eduardo wants to stay!

It does boggle the mind.

hmmm

The two-or-more sport athlete thing requires a consumption of PED that isn't healthy.

Duel is very good.

"Just because we're bereaved, doesn't make us saps!"

Imagine rooting for the people who did Bucha and Mariupol

How do they play in those wooden shoes? [edit: I intended to make this about how when I was put into holding in a jail in Texas -- for speeding while my car had a Michigan license plate -- i witnessed that the general population prisoners had wooden clogs. I now see that isn't what happens anymore because there is a special "inmate shoe company" that makes cheap clogs for them which do not include metal shanks. Basically, the Texas penal system is gross]

Walter Sobchak is John Millius

I don't know why Raising Arizona didn't hit with me. I know many who love the film. I also don't know why I liked or appreciated is better term for it, Barton Fink. I think the scene in The Simpsons where Milhouse and a bunch of other kids are off to see a movie and Bart can't go start chanting "Barton Fink! Barton Fink!" amuses me to no end.
