    United Flight Popcorn Debate

    Alright people, time to chime in on an online debate. So to summarize, forgettable MLB pitcher takes to Twitter to slam United for making his 5 month pregnant wife pick up some popcorn his kids spilled during the flight. Said pregnant wife's marginally famous sister-in-law also chimed in. It's...

    Rotations with Jaz Back

    With Jaz being back to full strength here in the next few weeks, it will be interesting to see how TJ reincorporates him. The first obvious question is whether Gabe goes back to the bench. He's playing the best basketball of his life right now and I'd hate to mess with it. You've also had King...

    Manti Te'o Documentary

    Anyone else watch the Netflix documentary? So much to digest here from it. Te'o comes off completely likable and I wound up feeling really sorry for him. While it still seems unconscionable to me that this could happen, the documentary did leave me convinced he was truly duped. The only part I...

    "Get Back" Beatles Documentary

    Anyone else take this in over Thanksgiving? I'm about half way through and thus far I've found it interesting. More than anything else I've appreciated being able to see their creative process. For someone like me who doesn't have an ounce of creativity I'm enamored by the process of composing...

    Old Mediocre Has-Been Desperate To Appear Relevant; aka JBo To Return

    So apparently JBo is willing to come back for his 13th year, but only if they pass legislation to allow him to profit off his NIL: So much to unpack here. Is there much of a desire to have him back? Plus, what exactly is Jordan Bohannon's NIL worth? Can't be more than what he'd make in his...

    Pollard's Latest on Athlete Compensation

    I am very pro Jamie Pollard and appreciate everything he's done to enhance Iowa State Athletics. But he continues to completely misfire on the athlete compensation debate. I know in the past he's been very vocally against athlete compensation. Here's his latest on Twitter claiming an Iowa State...

    At-Home Concerts

    A lot of musicians have been playing "concerts" at home and posting them to social media, and several have been pretty darn good. My favorite so far has been Neil Young playing outside at his ranch while it was snowing: https://neilyoungarchives.com/movie-night Anyone else stumbled on any...

    Coach K on Future of NCAA Basketball

    https://sports.yahoo.com/coach-k-on-college-hoops-i-wish-the-whole-thing-would-change-084051665.html I normally think Coach K is a bit of a blow-hard, but I thought his views on the future of college basketball are spot on. I also think this discussion is interesting in light of Coach Prohm's...

    Criticism of LeBron at Son's Game

    Subway Etiquette Question

    So I was at Subway with a friend today over lunch. The was probably a good 6-7 people waiting to order with 3-4 people being in the process of ordering. An older gentleman arrives and bypasses the line and goes directly to the cashier and orders a gift card. I think he should have to wait in...

    Interesting Matt Kuchar Story

    This little tidbit on Matt Kuchar has sparked some debate on social media: https://www.golf.com/news/2019/02/14/matt-kuchar-caddie-pay-controversy/ Basically, Kuchar doesn't take his regular caddie to a tournament in Mexico and picks up a local caddie. He agrees to pay him between $2,000 -...

    More Hard Hitting Reporting from ESPN

    This clip is too great not to share: Great reporting out of Stephen A., except that Spencer Ware is not playing tonight, Hunter Henry hasn't played a snap all year due to an ACL injury and Derrick Johnson was cut in March. ESPN has devolved into garbage television, but/for the 30 for 30...

    Public Service Loan Forgiveness

    NPR ran an interesting article about the dyfunction of Public Service Loan Forgiveness. I know several people who are absolutely relying on this program financially. They are making minimum payments in lower paying jobs with the understanding they will be out from under their loans in 10 years...

    Tiger vs. Phil

    The details on the Tiger vs. Phil match are coming out, and it looks like it will be a pay per view event. Jimmy Traina of SI had an interesting blurb about how closely other sports leagues will be watching this to see consumer's willingness to pay on a per event basis. How much would you be...
