Notes and Comments

Remember what I said about Sydney last week? Yeah, that aged well, didn’t it? Fremantle went into Sydney and beat them. They were leading by plenty too, but the Swans came back and it was decided at the very last kick. Incredible game!

Is Adelaide actually good? They’ve beaten some good teams but they’ve also lost quite a few and badly. They are a tough team to figure out.

So much for Collingwood finding their stride. They lost to Gold Coast and it is becoming ever more evident that any team can beat pretty much every team any given day. Finals are going to be insane.

Spammy continues leading the Footy Tipping competition. Kudos to Yeah Right and Dolph Ucker for getting top scores this week! The pack chasing Spam is getting closer and a three point or a five point advantage isn’t that much…

If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the games in the USA on either FS1 or FS2 and in Canada on TSN. Showtimes can be found here on the Australian Football Association of North America website.

Don’t forget to put the Footy Tips in!

See you next week!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Being in a medical waiting room for someone else is so much worse than being there for myself.

Why isn’t this eye injury about MEEEEEEEE?!

Gumbygirl

Agree, unless it’s the dentist.

I found this (via Atrios) rather amusing:

This is how you get the fancy parking spot at Harvard:

Richard Fallon, a constitutional law professor at Harvard Law School, argued the ruling does not leave presidential power completely unchecked. Lawless presidential conduct can still be prevented or unraveled by other parts of the Constitution — for instance, if a president illegally imprisoned a political enemy, that person would be entitled to a court order to go free.

Let’s try that one again:

Richard Fallon, a constitutional law professor at Harvard Law School, argued the ruling does not leave presidential power completely unchecked. Lawless presidential conduct can still be prevented or unraveled by other parts of the Constitution — for instance, if a president illegally killed a political enemy, that person would be … um I think I forgot what I was saying here.

Unsurprised

Didn’t the majority of SCOTUS go to Harvard?

Yale IIRC

Everything is so stupid and terrible right now.

Was it Brick who explained the hot/cold war elements of the current situation to the historic order — as if past performance was somehow indicative of future success?

Thay rambling changed my life. I’m glad I was born to Flight if this is the era I’ve been granted.

Brick Meathook

Naw, I probably explained how we should just nuke everybody.

scotchnaut

After watching Two-Lane Blacktop, of course.

Senor Weaselo

Resurrected?

The word I’ve been using to describe the levels of fucked is “interminably.”

Horatio Cornblower

Catholic school, which is the real problem, imo.

Brick Meathook

Good Lord. I was on a nuclear submarine down at 400 feet generating11000 hp to the main engines and also delivering 4 million watts of electric power on four different frequencies, and I never ever had to read anything this long,

So Balls… is Sydney who we thought they were?

Modern day Lewis and Clark heading out for the 4th right here folks.

Jerry Lewis and Clark Griswold?

Unsurprised

The only Sydney I recognize is Sweeney. Even if she is a republican

yeah right

That may have been the most impressive regular session victory in the history of Freo.

Hell of a game.

Horatio Cornblower

S3 of The Bear is a fucking slog.

yeah right

I think they’re showing the reps and discipline required to maintain greatness but I’m 3 shows in and found myself looking at the clock.

I think they just got too far up their own ass after S1 and S2 and decided to indulge themselves.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

At least it’s not a large and moving Tor!

First day of vacation today. Got up at 10:44. Mrs. Horatio just scheduled a pedicure date for us. I have never had a pedicure.

SonOfSpam

Me neither, And I really don’t like anyone touching my feet. (Not that people are clamoring to do so)

Game Time Decision

Mrs GTD keeps telling me that we should go and get pedis together, but not sure I want peeps touching my feet. She says that I will love it, but not in a “Rexy loves feet” way.

Gumbygirl

I hate having people touching my feet, but I will get the occasional pedicure because I look like a hobbit if I don’t.

blaxabbath

There is a hulu channel that plays old sports games. I guess like ESPN Classic? I don’t know.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I can’t believe how completely Essendon packed it in after a few bad calls went against them.

Oh, wait. Yes I can.
