Yeeeargh. Two great shots there, one clanked metal and the other a great save.
-
This team is white hot at the right time. They’re good enough to win the whole thing.....
-
The current FO has a really good track record of not really dumping anyone and having it come back to haunt them. Maybe Grisham will be the guy, but not much else. I think you're dead on in that they identified him as 'expendable' based on their evaluation of him. -
A lot of people don't like season 2, fwiw. Mostly due to one of the characters. Just a heads-up, hang in there just in case you don't love season 2 quite as much. It took a whopping half an episode to figure out who you were referring to....

Finished season 1 of The Wire over the weekend. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks to those that suggested it- I've heard very good things over the years from a lot of people, but glad I finally dove in. Very excited for S2.
-
Honestly, I think Yamamoto was the piece that I personally was most worried about coming back to potentially haunt us. Obviously I'm not excited that his career has stalled, but glad that the FO is seemingly really good at proper evaluation of the talent they give away in these deals...

Yeah, I think that's an 'individual circumstances' situation and not gospel. There are lots of people that would come out ahead with taking the deduction now vs. later if in a lower tax bracket in retirement as many are. As Cheezwiz noted, that's a tax advisor question depending on your situation.

Ok, made it through both 1 and 2. I have to say, I think the point above might be a fair take. I think if two had come first, people would think it was a good season, then would have been blown away by one had that come next. Having the benefit of a well-after-the fact watch and lowered expectations, I think that helped some. I admit, two episodes in, I was really hooked and looked forward to the next episodes. Which brings me to the problems as I saw them: After setting the story up really well in the first two episodes, they spent the next three expanding tangent after tangent, rather than moving the main story forward. Odd. Obviously, Vince Vaughn's performance was a low-light... it seemed like we were watching him figure out how to play the character as the season went on. And finally- Stan? I truly don't understand how a guy that, by my count, had 30 seconds of pre-death screen time, and was likely described in the screenplay for those scenes as 'random henchman #1', had such an astounding and puzzling amount of time devoted to his death, the cause of it, and the aftermath... Anyway, looking forward to season 3.

I think you can safely assume that you can get high-speed internet and either HuluLive or YouTube TV for ~$115. So, again depending on what add-ons you have that effects that price, that would be a $400 savings-ish at a rate that you don't have to call and negotiate after 12-24 months repeatedly.
-
Internet was basically a wash, but going from HBO to Max accounted for at least~$7-10 of that number. So, still about a $600 savings for me personally.
-
Uverse. And they stopped their willingness to deal. And to clarify, that was the all-in price (cable/internet/premiums/etc).
-
I'd love to see the breakdown of how you came up with this.... I went back and looked at our actual expenses before cutting the cord, and we went from $200.72 on cable per month to $142.52. Not thousands for us (we have bells and or whistles on our service), but that's $700 a year. Others can likely find more savings, as TPlush suggests.
-
If you stick with just season 1 of True Detective you'll love it. Started this last night, and I'm absolutely hooked after 1.5 episodes. Is it truly best to just stop after Season 1? Are there any redeeming qualities of 2 or 3?
-
Finished my Sopranos rewatch last night. Such an interesting show. I didn’t go into it with the intention of doing so with the upcoming prequel movie in mind, but now I’m super excited for the movie.
-
Always nice to beat those guys. They have been a PIA since they joined the league. Strange series to get out shot in both games but win both by multiple goals. I believe it was nearly two to one in SOG over the series in PSU’s favor.
-
Nice to see the goals pour in vs. Penn State. Really nice series.
-
I'm a fan of shorter DCAing, as I believe data has shown that 3-6 months is ideal. I could certainly be wrong about that, but I believe there was a study on it from a couple of years ago.

Finished season 3 of my Sopranos re-watch this week. I had forgotten 1) how great the show was, 2) how great James Gandolfini’s performance was, and 3) that it was one of those shows where you’re kind of supposed to hate all of the main characters. Thoroughly looking forward to the prequel movie in a few months. Also dove back into the Crown to work through season 3 prior to season 4 coming out next month. This is one of our rare co-watch shows in my household, and I’m happy that season 3 with the new cast was far better than the dull 2nd season. Loved season 1, hated season 2, and back to enjoying season 3 halfway through.

Really liked the series overall, but thought the last season was a bit weak. Did what it had to do in wrapping up all of the story lines, but other than Cullen's 'Chuck Norris-like' scene near the end (which was awesome), I thought the final season showed it was a good thing the show was ending. Finished the 30 episodes of Peaky Blinders to date, and I was very impressed with the show. Very much looking forward to the final couple of seasons, but annoyed that like so many BBC shows, it'll take them 5 calendar years to finish the 12 episodes somehow. On to some HBO stuff next. Haven't done True Detective yet, so deciding between that, The Wire, and a Sopranos re-watch.

I started the new documentary series High Score on Netflix about the birth and progression of the video game industry in the 80s, and it’s been very enjoyable so far. It’s really interesting for those that grew up on Atari and NES back then!

I think you're nitpicking a bit over terminology. I think you're 100% correct that the goal should always be to get as much as possible while giving at little as possible. But the result of that is a deal that accomplishes whatever the goal is of both the teams, meaning that a deal's 'winner' isn't decided in the moment, but rather 3-5-10-whatever years later when the results of the goals are actually apparent. Sometimes, it works out fine for both sides over both the short and long-terms.

I think it's fair to note the importance of the CC trade from a franchise standpoint, as it was the first time the team had made the playoffs in decades as noted, but also put Milwaukee back on the map so to speak as a team willing to acquire big-name players to make a run as necessary. It's very fair to weigh that heavily. But for value to the franchise, TPlush is right that it's likely that the Yelich trade will be the Brewers' equivalent of trading for Brett Favre.

Wait, is this the old vintage Perry Mason episodes, or did they reboot the series? If so, I might have to look into this. What network? Reboot on HBO as a miniseries. I believe reviews have been good. Tim Van Patten is involved, as he is with most of HBO’s really good shows.
