    All Things Immaculate Grid-related (MLB, NBA, NFL)

    No Twins category today, but opportunities for former Twins abound—I was able to use Olivia, Castino, Carew, Puck, and Nettles for various spots on the board.

    I saw the R rating, then read through IMDB’s overview and it seemed everything potentially worrisome was marked mild, so I am leaning towards taking him to it-he will be able to zone in on all the bad words and cigarette smoking to let me know they are inappropriate.

    Ope, an inquiry-do you think a 7 year old would be an appropriate audience for the movie? Would it be compelling enough for a kid who likes songs or might it drag along? I am formulating this romanticized version of my boy looking back fondly in his adult years about seeing the Dylan movie with...

    I had the following: Started career with Phils, established himself with Twins, and got a nice contract and few good years with Brewers in the ‘70s (2%) Ex-Yankee slugger who had a few games with Twins when baseball came back from ‘96 strike. Etched in my memory because I watched live as he was...

    Damn, no longer do I have to ask Alexa to show me a divorce` unhappy with his alimony payments. Would love for my wife to work in that sarcasm and irony you speak of next time she's pissed off at me, it would be a relief from the full frontal barrage.

    Top Ten Movies I Watched in '24

    So, as you'll see quickly, these are not necessarily movies that were released in 2024; in fact, only one movie makes the top 10 with two on the honorable mention list. But all of the movies on the list were seen by me for the first time in the last year, due to a variety of reasons (access...

    My only reason for holding back on calling it the worst was that they didn't have a #1 pick that year. 1990 was only salvaged by the 9th round flier taken on Terry Allen (that year, their 1st and 2nd round picks were in Dallas' hands due to the Herschel Walker trade). It's pretty amazing that...

    Vikings Draft History '22? '05? Go take a look at '71--now that was a dog of a draft, with legends (Jack Ham, Dan Dierdorf, Lyle Alzado) being passed by for ham and egg'ers. Or '89, '01, '04. '10 and '11 were dogs of drafts except for one player in each draft (Everson Griffen and Kyle...
