While it may not be a popular choice, New England losing the game against a very inferior opponent for Super Bowl 42 is the call. Say what you will against Philadelphia a decade later but along with Super Bowl 48 (albeit on a lesser scale) that was embarrassing for the AFC East powerhouse

Kevin's brother Buzz choking on a cheese pizza in a genuine attempt to produce cheese pizza for the younger sibling since plain cheese was no longer an option. FYI: Kevin was a young super fan of the Chicago Bulls, and maybe Flagg gets drafted there

I'd give you a standing ovation, but IDK if you have Houston and Florida beating Duke AND Auburn, respectively LOL

Fortunately, I don't have to worry about being an Old Takes Exposed victim. Because...who the hell am I? To be fair, where was this Houston team in years past? When someone elsewhere mentioned that NOBODY picked Houston to win the whole thing, I knew everybody was doomed. Fair enough, since they've always flamed out before end city

Congratulations to the Duke Blue Devils. That's six within a 3.5 decade period. Including a successful title defense! Those stats about Connecticut being more accomplished since as far back as necessary to pimp one's narrative were a tad bit premature. Meanwhile, great win by Florida, but it's 2025, not 2007. Period.

If one had crying on one's to do list, you'd achieve that watching the pregame show (around 5 PM Eastern).

If Phoenix is lucky, they'll finish in 11th place. Meanwhile, I'd rather read a novel over watching a first round Warriors/Lakers game

Coincidentally enough, I've been thinking about Sai at this stage of the game. It's probably too late to get rid of her, and not easy to succeed anyway. I don't think Joe is the only one concerned about her being on the jury. I don't know it Sai gets to the end, but if you're still in the game going forward, you probably don't want Sai getting kicked out. OTOH, most of the outcomes since 2021 haven't really been that close, so if I'm Joe, I'd be more concerned about my future in the game before someone's future within the jury

Man, that sucks.

I remember being super excited for the Merge episodes. I also remember seeing pissed off castaways over an outcome, and tonight? So did they!

I have wine. More than expected though. More is necessary as a precaution for where to go after someone during tribal thinks there's benefit for saying: "I found an idol. I didn't bring it with me though, but I though it would be good and faithful to let people know."

Although I'm not moved by the above decision, in the world of sports, it sure beats stupid decisions like taking away wins & championships (especially when it's due to off-field stuff).

Someone in my area mentioned modifying it to where the refs would call it dead upon a determination that someone is pushing the ball handler forward. That may not be an outright ban, but might prevent Philadelphia from using it a lot going forward

Life (in sports) has/have consequences when anybody is permitted to obtain a franchise.

Amid the constant criticism toward the selection committee over the past couple of weeks, if not the past several years, I think it's fair enough to "respect" them this time around. There may have been questions in terms of the one seeds, and while it's fair enough... ...Saturday's Final Four will feature all four top seeds for the second time in 40 years. At the very least. Coincidentally enough, the last time that happened, the venue for the National Semis and the Tournament Final took place in San Antonio. Not only that, the dates on the calendar between 2008 and this season are a match.
