    Catch-22 Series coming to Hulu

    I'm curious how they intend to structure it. All the jumping around doesn't necessarily feel like it lends itself to a series adaptation.

    Monte called up to the Nuggets

    A) How many fanbases of decent college basketball programs have the exact same complaints about the guys from their team that never made the league? We can't all have the absolute stud that NBA missed on. B) The age thing ABSOLUTELY makes sense in the NBA's current incentive structure. If...

    Monte called up to the Nuggets

    Yea, obviously there are some extenuating circumstances with Jones. I guess I was coming more from the angle of him being drafted to be a back-up and there always being a fairly clear pecking order ahead of him at the position. Rubio or Teague have always been there as an established starter...

    Monte called up to the Nuggets

    Yea, if he'd have ended up in a situation like Fred VanVleet in Toronto or Tyus Jones in Minnesota, I don't think he'd be bouncing between the bench and G-league like he is.

    Monte called up to the Nuggets

    See, I disagree. Monte's selling point was always being a smart, steady hand, not that anyone was projecting him to breakout as a star in the NBA. Denver is looking for that high-upside starter. That's why they traded Nelson and keep trying to see what they have with Murray and Mudiay. Monte...

    Royce White article in Esquire

    "Although White hasn't had time to shower since the game, he shows no signs of sweat or fatigue as he chats about a variety of topics" I guess some things don't change :p

    Iowa Brewery top 10 2017

    This will probably expose me as not really a beer snob, but in my book the fact that places like Exile make it so that I can walk into a QT or Casey's, much less your average grocery or liquor store, and get a pack of good, locally-made beer should absolutely score them points in rankings like this.

    MONDAY MUSINGS: On grad transfer QBs, Wigginton, NCAA Tournament

    Yea, I keep thinking the bowl schedule isn't too heavy that early, but it is now that I actually look at it.

    MONDAY MUSINGS: On grad transfer QBs, Wigginton, NCAA Tournament

    Why is it so tough for that game to get decent TV coverage? I get it when we play Drake, but is the schedule really that full in mid-December that nobody is picking up UNI-Iowa State? That's a Big 12 team and strong mid-major, both with recent success, in an in-state matchup. Is it the BTN...

    Fire Destroys Plaza Lanes

    Hopefully they're able to rebuild. I know they were one of the businesses trying to lead the way on the revitalization efforts in the area as well.

    Sullivan- Settles Fanatic hour

    I think you nailed it that the real “problem” is the callers. I’m pretty inconsistent with listening, but it feels like they just get more Hawk fans that want to hear themselves talk. It was especially bad when I’d catch it for football and you’d get those old dudes rambling on to Long about...

    Monte called up to the Nuggets

    It's a good thing that they aren't breaking those poor owner's bank accounts by having two-way players on an NBA minimum salary. If your contract keeps you completely under the control of one team, you should get league minimum.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe

    That Disney/Fox merger going through is going to be a travesty.

    STANZ AND FITZ: Episode 15

    Oh yea, I'm sure it's irritating as hell for announcers and other TV/radio guys.
