I'm really looking forward to the World Cup in 2026. There's a good chance we host that one, and all the guys you mentioned will still be 31 or younger, plus Zalalem, Matt Miazga and Julian Green as well. They've overhauled the youth system, so there's a real possibility that apart from the players listed we may have a handful of world class players that come up after them as well.

17-year-old Christian Pulisic just scored his first goal for the USMNT. He also scored two goals for major German club Borussia Dortmund this season after being called up to the big club late in the season. He has a chance to be a world class player. This young crop of US players has me more excited than I've been about the US team in a long time.

It's kind of a ridiculous cult classic about two brothers that become vigilantes. Lots of F-bombs and lots of violence, so be forewarned.

I had a guy almost merge into the side of me as I passed through a green light today. I swear he was looking in the little mirror on the back of his sun visor while merging and my honking horn was the only thing that made him look back at the road

D'ya like dags? both fantastic movies. You ever see boondock saints?

I'm not sure how the valedictorian leading a prayer at a school function is different from cheerleaders holding up signs with scripture at a school sponsored event? Is it because the prayer itself was not sanctioned by the administration, where the cheerleaders were getting resources from the school to make their signs?

Yeah, I bought a tundra in November and I love it

Gotcha

No? I'm saying it was the coaches' fault that 4 boys ended up in the hospital peeling out their own muscle tissue.

I have two. My first car was a '65 mustang with a straight 6. nothing fancy, but the inside was clean and the paint job was killer (high performance red). after about a year i had to be honest with myself and admit that i simply didn't know enough about working on cars to keep a car that would have a problem every couple of months, and at 17 i didn't really have the money to fix it when it had problems. The second was a 1997 Toyota T-100 4x4 with a small lift kit on it that i drove from when i was 18 to 23. I got it with 110,000 miles on it and sold it with 230,000, and never had anything worse than an AC motor go out on it (even though i was in college and likely treated it a little like crap). I used that little truck to dig some BIG trucks out of the mud over the years, and i never got it stuck where i couldnt get it out. It was a sharp looking truck as well.

Good Will Hunting is another one that i will watch until the end when i see it.

I hope this isn't a backhanded reference to the criticism the football coaches received for putting four kids in the hospital.

Both authors have multiple series, but for Sandford his "prey" books are good, and Connely has the Harry Bosch series.

Cormac McCarthey is one of my favorites. Stephen King as well. I also enjoy Michael Connely and John Sandford, who both write murder mystery type stories.

I read It about a half dozen times. Scared the crap out of me as a kid

Perhaps the media age has given a group of people that is generally self contained in rural areas more of a voice?

He's another author who I've read all of his stuff, most of it more than once. I'm excited about them coming out with a movie for the gunslinger series

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I know there have been other polls with a significantly higher number of native Americans saying they were offended by the term. Either way, the fact that a term that is considered a slur by a decent amount of the population is used as a mascot is pretty ridiculous. I'm curious how many people who don't see a problem with the name would walk up to a Native American and say "what's up, redskin?" I'm willing to bet that number is zero.

I'm actually a pretty avid reader. I've read every book written by Cormac McCarthey more than once. all of his work is phenomenal. And you're right, the Cohen brothers did a great job staying true to the book with the movie.

I trapped a couple of piglets a couple of weeks ago. I went out to check on them after the hail and they're hanging out in 4 inches of water. I actually had water come over my mud boats walking out there. We got a LOT of rain this morning

Off of craigen

Anytime I'm flipping channels and I see Shawshank Redemption, I stop every time. No country for old men and Forrest Gump usually stop me too.

We had quarter to golfball sized hail for about 10 minutes this morning. Between getting misted on yesterday at Sabine, and the storms last night and this morning, I think the meteorologists got it wrong talking about our beautiful weekend we were going to have.

I'm not arguing that odor isn't guilty of using hard slides to break up double plays, but I will argue that the intent was different. He's sliding hard to break up a double play in this picture, which was legal at the time, and he's not cleats up a foot over the bag in this picture either. I would argue that Bautista clearly intended to injure Odor, as the slide was more dangerous, and also because Bautista knew his slide would result in an automatic out, meaning the only thing he had to gain on the play was possibly hurting Odor.
