My new favorite is the Haribo ad with two NFL defensive lineman sharing gummi bears, discussing why they love them in overdubbed kids’ voices.

I find most of those Haribo ads with kids' voices horribly annoying, but this one, with the football players? Literally makes me laugh out loud!

Maybe "throwing a gasket" is no longer a figure of speech?

I've always heard it as 'blowing' a gasket, which is something that can happen to an engine, you don't really 'throw' a gasket.

Secondly, the guy changed his story. 

There have been a few versions I've heard - the guy took the money without Ohtani knowing, or maybe Ohtani gave him the money to pay his gambling debts. The cynic in me wonders if the guy was actually placing bets for Ohtani to get around MLB rules on players gambling.

I swear the term MRI is going to start giving me agita.

Elsewhere, we were discussing a Mets player who might possibly have a shoulder/arm strain, and someone asked, "Why not have him take an MRI just in case?"

I joked, "I think the MRI machine is actually causing them!" which led to the comment 'MRI - May Result in Injuries'.

Al Pacino.  Was he drunk?  Was it just old age? 

While watching, I was wondering if he was drunk or having a stroke.

Great race! I was rooting for Blaney, but was thrilled to see Daniel win. He's a great guy, well deserving.

She must be getting paid well, that coat, while not too outrageous, is still expensive for someone who was struggling to pay bills not that long ago. 

She's not supporting Tariq anymore, so she probably has a little more spending money these days.

I don’t understand CBS’s hyperventilating about “the first Super Bowl in Las Vegas ZOMG!!!!1!1!!1!” like they aren’t playing on the streets, guys.  It’s a big stadium just like all the other big stadiums.

I think it’s about how most sports, including the NFL, felt about gambling, and now they’re playing the Super Bowl in the gambling capital of the world.

Do you think your dislike of the Ravens goes back the miscellaneous Super Bowl that your team somehow didn't win?

Maybe...

Also, I really really hate seeing the victim murdered. 

Same! It doesn't really add anything, and it was always interesting in the 'old days' to see how some unsuspecting person/people would stumble upon a dead body.

Now it has all been delayed until November 2024 for the new final episodes to air.

Yes, they announced a while back that the final episodes would air in November. Between the writers and actors strikes, and winter in Montana lasting from September to May, they haven't even filmed those episodes yet.

Yeah, three field goals, it's like they are letting Philly hang around and keep it close. Could bite them in the end.

I'm halfway watching the TB/Philly game. Is it really just getting to halftime now? It feels like the game has been going for about 6 hours now. And as much as it feels like TB is dominating, they are only up by a TD.

The National Weather Service is predicting 'partly sunny', high temperature of 17, TWC is calling it 'mostly cloudy' and a high of 18. Doesn't sound like there will be snow at gametime. Just saw someone on TWC - sheriff, DOT guy, whatever - who said yesterday afternoon they had snow, 30mph winds, zero visibility. Would have been dangerous for people to head out for the game.

Actor Joyce Randolph who played Trixie Norton on the television series The Honeymooners and was the last surviving member of the main cast has died, age 99.

Sad news, but 99 was a good run!  I actually worked with her son, Randy Charles years ago. He was the VP of Marketing for a few years at the newspaper where I worked, and I'd occasionally have meetings or work on projects with him and his team.

What does it say that America’s Team is pretty much hated by a rather large majority of America?

That 'America's Team' is just a marketing thing.

What are the odds Aaron Rodgers goes on the airwaves this week and takes credit for Jordan Love?

I was thinking the same thing, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did.
