    Computer games.

    More or less how I felt after I built a few months back, and finally played Cyberpunk. I built a PC for the first time specifically to play Oblivion. Actual leaves of grass on the ground was insanity in 2006. It still has the all-time best quest line in gaming history, Hitman: Oblivion.

    Ancelotti to Brazil

    Man, I was finishing typing that up and it took me a minute to recover from the foul burn. My hat is off to you.

    Ancelotti to Brazil

    I'll be blunt. Your ability to interpret data, in my opinion, is utter rubbish. Let's suppose I have reviewed a largish number of Fortune 500 contracts for employees and contractors. Let's also suppose I am not bound by attorney-client privilege due to vagaries of circumstance. Let's also...

    Manchester United

    Wait what? You can have two tickets. You can buy more. However, you make the travel arrangements. Management must really hate the players' guts to hand that directive down. Solving the problems will hit the agents' desks. They will want to make the club pay. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just...

    Ancelotti to Brazil

    Would you prefer he boo his own players like they were TAA, celebrating a trophy win at home? I think you're missing the point of the thread. It's not a lovefest. We get why you dislike him. It's in the username. The thread is a head nod of respect to someone who somehow ninjaed a 1-0 from...

    Moshiri

    I don't think he can admit he was just Usmanov's bagman, that his "purchase" was tolerated at a premium because it drove up the value of the other nineteen clubs, and he was forced to sell by the Prem once Usmanov's services were no longer required, in the wake of driving out Abramovich.

    Ancelotti to Brazil

    Can't hardly blame him, the CV is only missing the one trophy. Won everything in Italy multiple times as a player, then won just about every pot worth lifting in European football. Why not see if he can get a tune out of Brazil, and cap it all off with the Jules Rimet?

    Today’s Football - 2024/25 Season

    Shouldn't he be a bit of a ball hog, at this stage of his development? The only way he'll figure out how he can and cannot beat the world's best defenders is trying it. He isn't playing against the world's best on the training pitch, and they're dialing it back a notch or two to avoid injury...

    2024/25 Beto

    It's an interesting conundrum. I don't think we can say anything substantive until we see fee and wage numbers. If someone comes in with snap-their-hand-off money, we take it. Letting him run his contract down is probably a bad idea, but if we want to keep him we'll have to come close to...

    Golf 2025 Season…….

    McIlroy didn't look like he would lift it this week, but it's also probable he'll manage Quail Hollow with fewer mistakes, and sink more putts. These days, so many on Tour are good enough, and the putter settles it. If someone rolls it like Brian Harman did for four days, they're nigh...

    Absolutely.

    I like how the narrator switches from newscaster to profane, vitriolic diatribe on a dime. Good stuff.

    Threat of villa

    They shoved all the chips into the center of the table when Gerrard took over, and I thought it would cost them big. They assembled an expensive, aging squad with a short window and a manager who wasn't up to the task. Then Emery came in and proved he is, in fact, very good at what he does...

    The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

    Yeah, Unai Emery had the run of three straight Europa Cups and UEFA told him, "Get outta here. Make your money in the CL and let someone else have a turn."

    Manchester United

    Oh, man, that would be a riot. He would stand on the touchline with his most puzzled expression and think, "Expensive players? What do you do with these? For that matter, how does anyone manage this much ego?"

    Manchester United

    If you're talking about double spacing after periods, I always do it. Much simpler to find and replace them all out, when writing for real, than retrain muscle memory. Not my fault the convention changed after I learned to type.

    Golf 2025 Season…….

    Tour course this week has been fun. They can score on it, but the rough is major championship brutal and the greens are devilish. The course punishes mistakes without mercy. Straka and Lowry have been trading punches for two days, with Thomas lurking but nursing a slightly balky putter this...

    Manchester United

    I think the writing may just be on the wall. United brought in a system manager, but can't afford to remake the squad. What they need right now is someone who can eke out points with the overpriced pieces in the Lego box. They need Carlo, but can they steal him from Brazil? I doubt it.

    Manchester United

    They're in much worse shape than us. We have a shiny, new stadium. Theirs is falling down around their ears, and one problem with all their income is lenders will extend far more credit than they ever did to us. Barcelona's finances are an even bigger mess, but the priceless asset called La...

    Trent alexander Arnold

    I'll give them Xabi Alonso does seem to know what he's doing. TAA is inexplicable.
