The Netflix commentator who shamelessly promoted the Taylor-Serrano fight throughout the bout. He often sounded like Bagdad Bob with his exaggeration and hyperbole. The fight was a dud and snooze fest compared to the first two fights but they made it sound like Ali-Frazier.

It's a tough situation. If they issue warnings too often, and nothing happens, then people begin to ignore them. If they don't issue a warning, and people die, they look to blame someone. With that said, I don't think it's too much to ask that maybe they not build numerous kids' camps in a...

Same deal in many recent tragedies including the terrorist attack in New Orleans where Granny Clampett is in charge of the police. As far as I know, she wasn't fired for incompetence.

The one good thing about the NIL and paying college players is that we can get the EA sports college football game again. Fun to play. They had stopped it for a long time because of disputes over money.

Biker's weekend in Gettysburg. It's like something out of Mad Max. Every 50 something person with a motorcycle is cruising around with their 70s metal band music blaring like the end of times. Not a pretty sight. The hospitals will be full of casualties not seen here since 18 and 63 when all...

I find it hard to believe that there are another 170 missing people in Texas who are dead. I'm hoping that those numbers are vastly inflated and there are other explanations for their being reported as "missing." Still a terrible tragedy.

The odd thing about "All in the Family" is that the liberals could laugh at Archie and the conservatives could laugh with him. I'm sure the liberal types who made the show intended Archie to be a buffoon not realizing that half or more of Americans shared many of his opinions. Certainly...

Great stuff. Everytime I read a book about Stalingrad or the Eastern Front, I'm surprised at how many Romanians were involved. They also got a bad rep from the Germans to excuse a lot of mistakes. Romanian troops are a long-neglected niche of the Stalingrad and Russian campaign in the toy...

I've come to really dislike Ken Burns for his whining woke politics. He has become insufferable. Rick Atkinson mentioned that he has been participating. So I might still watch and hope for the best. Hopefully we don't get a revisionist history to match the desired political narrative.

Wow. That is some of the best work that I have seen on this forum. Those final days of the war hold a kind of terrible fascination that you have captured perfectly. I was in in Berlin last year and it is surreal to imagine what went on. Not much left from that era but buildings like the...

Movies with extended scenes filmed in the dark where you can make out almost nothing. I realize some events happen at night but it is somewhat pointless to have movie scenes in which nothing can be seen.

That's a terrible tragedy playing out with the kids lost from the summer camp. I can't understand in these times how such a thing can occur. Here, when the wind blows our TV channels run a weather warning continuously for hours. It's overkill but in a life and death situation like the one in...

I criticized Trump when the stock market was collapsing and Musk was running wild, but things have settled down and seem to be on track. Can't imagine why most of the country has a negative view of the recent bill. It does add to the deficit but spending on the border and military and cutting...

"Sinners" is a well-done horror/action flick on HBO. A bit longer than necessary but entertaining once it gets rolling. A rare case of a movie with a minority cast that isn't just about race.

Rewatching "Better Call Saul" on Netflix. I had almost forgotten how painful the Jimmy-Chuck love/hate brother relationship was during the early season. One of the best shows ever. Every character and storyline are a gem with the possible exception of Mike's daughter-in-law who I always found...

I don't have a lot of sympathy for adults who take millions from a celebrity over a period of years and then suddenly claim they are a victim. As though they have no ability to walk away. No one has to like the underlying conduct but it is not a crime. Certainly not one punishable with prison...

I liked Ramsey when he played with the Rams but he was losing a step even then and he has not gotten any younger. The Rams were considering taking him back but his salary was hefty. I'm glad they passed. The Steelers must be in win now mode getting these older guys. Ramsey can make plays but...

Ohtani throwing a 102 MPH fastball. Not sure that I understand risking an injury by having him pitch an inning here and there but the guy has freakish talent. Betts and Freeman have struggled this year but Ohtani has kept the Dodgers rolling with his bat.

James Harden, who has been washed up for years, signing an $80 million contract with the Clippers. Ensuring that they won't win a championship and maintaining the Lakers as LA's team with a new owner who knows how to win. What GM says to themselves that Harden is the guy they need to sink $80...

How does Brooklyn end up with four first round picks in the NBA draft? And then a fifth in the second round? They took three guards in the first round.
