Why do you bring up such irrelevant stuff? 

 

All that matters is TOM AND GISELE'S DIVORCE.  We need to know every little detail!   

 

 

It's already finalized so it must have been pretty amicable. I'd guess she has to pay him alimony so he can maintain his current lifestyle. 

Seems Little Tommy's team lost their third game in a row and that hasn't happened for 20 years. 

He was often the funniest person on whatever show he was a part of. We just watched him on Call Me Kat and he was hilarious, as usual. RIP.

It seems the phrase "Brady's done " is no longer ironic

I'd say based on his impending divorce and how the team isn't doing great, he may retire for good after this season.

Buccaneers and Packers both lose. Sweet.

I laughed pretty damn hard at this.

I see this is a hot topic...

It's "fire" as the kids say (that's already been replaced with "that slaps" [violence is never the answer]). 

Radio Free Europe - REM

David Letterman (or his people) have been posting segments from his show a couple of times a week for quite a while and this one popped up today and I thought this would be a good place for it. What a great memory.

This started out as a blown play but worked out well in the end. Who knew Butkus could catch so easily? Also, check out the announcer and the score at the end.

Well that's very magnanimous of Geddy.  Even with his explanation, it's still damn weird and it would have been enormously less weird to have just said hello like a normal human being.

 

And no, I don't know who he is, I've never heard his name before.  I try my best to avoid the bloviating horde of podcasters.

He generally interviews people from the entertainment industry. A couple of weeks ago he had Adrian Belew on, and last week he talked to Sigourney Weaver. Not trying to talk you into listening, but he's not part of the typical bloviating horde (excellent band name).

I don't know Marc Maron from a hole in the ground, but the Instagram post in this thread is gross and weird and full-on creepy.  He didn't feel comfortable talking to him, but he felt comfortable shoving a phone against his head and taking a picture?  That's a person with some f***ed up ideas about social norms.

Here's what Maron had to say about the situation. I find it odd that you don't know who he is because before that failed actor Rogan got so popular, he (Maron) had the most popular podcast on the airwaves and has some very famous people, including Obama, on his show.

While waiting to get on the plane at the gate I realized the guy in the hat was Geddy Lee of Rush. Now, I grew up with Rush. There was no way to avoid Rush in my teen years. I was not a Rush guy. I have said as much for years. Though after I watched the doc about them there was really no way for me to not, at the very least, respect them. True originals.

So, again. I was in an awkward position. I didn’t want to say anything to him because it would be disingenuous. I didn’t want to take a selfie because I don’t really do that. So, I just looked at him when I got on the plane and watched two flight attendants try to strap his bass into a seat. Yes, it has its own seat. We were both in first, as was the bass.

He was directly in front of me walking off the plane so I took a pic of the back of his head. After thinking about it hard and wondering if it was intrusive and wrong I decided it was funny and I posted it on IG with a somewhat snarky paragraph about it. I did give Mr. Lee the praise and respect he deserved. He responded in the comments! I shared a story with him about the time I worked for a caterer that catered the Rush show in Albuquerque in the late seventies. Alex requested a fan for his dressing room so my boss sent me a half hour away to his house to get him a fan. I resented the whole band since.

Geddy responded again and thanked me for Alex. It was all very funny.

Apparently Geddy had no issue with it.

Oh we're just sharing thoughts and opinions. I grew up in a part of the States where it was not too strange to see TV personalities or famous people so we got used to just ignoring them. 

 

I dealt with a pretty well known celebrity recently and kept my distance because I could tell he wanted to be left alone. 

 

IIRC didn't Marc's girlfriend pass away recently due to natural causes? If so, how sad.

Just over a year ago.

Geez, some of you people are awful protective of a guy who doesn't know, nor care who the heck yo are. I get a weekly electronic newsletter from Maron and the reason he didn't talk to him was because he didn't feel comfortable doing so. He also saw Stuart Copeland in the Air Canada lounge and he didn't feel comfortable talking to him either. By the way, if you're in a public place, you are subjected to all manner of photos being taken. Some you know about and some you don't. Grow up.

One of the most iconic women in country music has gone to the great honkey tonk in the sky. She was 90.

Who knew they made a Chevelle hatchback? (no one, heavily modified this one is)

Nasty fall for Tagovailoa after a hit during the Dolphins- Bengals game.  He went down, didn't come back up, and his hands were in a claw like position that was very scary. He was carted off the field and word from local hospital is that he is conscious and can move all extremities. Nothing yet about extent of head and neck injuries.  Just hate to see someone taken off like that, especially since there was controversy about his return to play during last Sunday's game, due to possible head / back injury. 

That will be his second head injury, and likely concussion in 4 days, but the Dolphins claimed his injury last Thursday was his back. I've never seen someone take a hard hit, get up and stumble around like they were drunk because of a back injury. I'd bet they lied to keep him in the game and now, according to head injury experts, he may have permanent injury. There's video footage or still pictures of his fingers spasming and going in different directions as he was on the ground which is a classic sign of concussion.

If it turns out he was also concussed on Thursday, the Dolphins should get a seriously huge fine, at least.

I'm neither a Cowboy fan nor hater, but with a QB named Cooper Rush, they get a little more likeable. He's playing pretty well too.

Sometimes these early season games are fun to watch, like last week with the several upsets, but sometimes I almost feel bad for the losing team if they're getting their butts kicked like Nebraska is against OU. I guess gone are the days when that was a marquee matchup. 

Currently this one.

Notre Dame fit'n to be oh and two, with one loss under the scowl of touchdown Jebus. 

As long as he doesn't need an asterisk by his name like Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa do, good for him.
