    Things that annoy me

    The video of Trump telling a female reporter "Quite, piggy" is unreal. Maybe there is some additional context but can't imagine any other public official in history wouldn't be dismissed for that type of conduct. And I say that as someone who voted for him three times. Things have gone so far...

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    In the playoffs, I'll take the experience of the Bills and Chiefs over the Pats any day. The Bills are going to clobber them the next time they play. The Pats have the second softest schedule in the NFL. They haven't beat anyone except the bottom dwellers. They even lost to the hapless...

    Things that annoy me

    It took nearly 30 years for the Goldman family to get a settlement from the OJ Simpson estate. Even then they are unlikely to collect much of the money. I know the legal system is slow but this one seems like a slam dunk. Not sure how they could drag it out this long. It is like something...

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    The AFC stinks this year. That's the point but I would still take Buffalo, KC, Indy, or Denver over the Pats in the playoffs. The playoffs are a whole different deal than playing teams like the Saints, Titans, Falcons and Jets every week. The only quality win for the Pats is Tampa.

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    The Pats have a soft schedule in a lousy division. Not many quality wins. It's like those college teams that play cupcakes and come in undefeated against Ohio St. only to get destroyed.

    Things that I really like

    Rick Atkinson is involved with this. So it should be good but with the typical Martha Vineyard's liberal spin.

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    Huge win by the Rams. Stafford is having an MVP-type season. They would be 9-1 but for two blocked FGs in Philly.

    Things that I really like

    Not a huge fan of Ken Burns' politics but looking forward to the PBS documentary on the American Revolution. Hopefully it's not full of woke revisionist messages. I think it starts tonight.

    NCAA Football 2024

    He will need an education when someone tells him he won't be playing in the NFL. It seems clear that there are a couple of elite teams that are above and beyond everyone else. Ohio St., Georgia, and maybe Indiana. ND is playing some good football but not quite in that group. I'm not sold on...

    Things that annoy me

    The wind blowing 40 mph and the leaves laying in my yard not moving an inch. As though they are made from concrete while chairs and tables are flying. I was hoping all the leaves blew to China to avoid raking them.

    Berlin

    It would be great to see some more German releases for Berlin including Diers' King Tiger and the French SS "Charlemagne" division. Among the last combat troops in the battle.

    Things that I really like

    "Predators: Badlands." A rare example of a movie delivering what the audience wants. In this case lots of action. The 3d is fantastic as well.

    Ace Frehley RIP

    Nice: Kiss have announced a massive 50th anniversary reissue of their classic Alive! stocked with nearly 90 unreleased tracks. The Alive! 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition, out November 21, features the band's 1975 live album newly remastered from the original tapes as well as two more...

    Things that annoy me

    Salt shakers that either pour out a ton of salt or none at all. There seems to be no in between. Whenever no salt comes out, my wife says without, "it's because of the humidity." This could happen a million times and she would explain that as though I recently had a lobotomy. The only thing...

    Things that annoy me

    Having to put butter on my own popcorn at the movies. You can tell the end is near when the movie theatres make their customers do that. It's just a matter of time now.

    Things that I really like

    The taglines of an ultra-low budget horror flick called Pyromaniac which include such gems as: "We didn't start the fire, he did" and "Where there's smoke, there's Pyromaniac." I give them an A for effort even if the trailer looks like it was filmed by a high school A/V club.

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    The Rams are very quietly playing some great football. They are one blocked FG from 7-1. Stafford is playing better then ever and Puka is having an MVP season. Once I get over my Dodgers hangover, it will be on to the Rams in the Super Bowl. LOL.

    Things that I really like

    After watching countless hours of baseball in the last few weeks, finally having a day in which I did not watch one second of sports. I reached my sports saturation point last night with the World Series and college football.

    MLB 2025

    The Mets spent almost as much as the Dodgers and you see how that worked out. Over the years, there have been mostly one off WS winners. Teams that got hot and lucky at the right moment never to win again. A lot of teams that outspent their opponents didn't win it. Championship dynasties...
