    OT: TMB TV/Streaming Shows Club: Thread for streaming/TV show discussion…

    I really like the Rooster. It has echos of Richard Russo Straight Man, but with the added bonus of Steve Carrell, one of the best comedic actors in the past 30 years

    OT: Your best celebrity encounters?

    He was a lot like you see on TV. Also was an honest, hardworking kid. Despite the fact that his dad owned a chain of fitness centers, he and his brothers woke up early on wknds to deliver the Buffalo News. He broke one of our garage lights and took responsibility for it, rather than running away.

    OT: Your best celebrity encounters?

    Rob Gronkowski nocked on my door once. The right side of his face was completely covered with abrasions and scabs. He said he’d been in a bike accident. Oh, and he was 7 and wanted to know if my son wanted to come out and ride bikes.

    Would this be a good real estate investment?

    Huh.. Went for a hike last fall at High Rock, on the PA-MD border. Took a wrong turn on the way back and ran into a government checkpoint. No signs and not annotated on Googlevmaps. But you can see it’s pretty extensive on google earth. Reddit tells me that it’s a nuclear bunker called...

    Iowa State cancels gymnastics for the rest of the season.....

    This isn’t completely correct. Quince Orchard dropped girls gymnastics around 2005. My daughter was a level 8-10 gymnast competing for a club team at that time; QO didn’t have a team despite significant interest. The AD at that time told me if I could find a “sponsor” for ~100K that they would...

    Besides PSU '94 FB, what was or is the greatest College FB team?

    Thats true. Sort of . The game stopped shortly after the Super Bowl began. Early 70s. So there were only 5 games played between College All Stars and SUPER BOWL champs. But the College All Stars won or tied 11 of 34 games played against NFL champs prior to AFL NFL merger (1934-1968). This...

    Besides PSU '94 FB, what was or is the greatest College FB team?

    Hold on there whippersnapper.. Until 1975, a team of college all stars played the BEST team in the nfl. And won about 25% of the time so I don’t think it’s ridiculous to suggest that a college team could beat the Jets. Did you see the Bills Jets game last week?

    Songs that cannot be "covered", movies that cannot be "remade"

    Funny story on covers. Back in the last century , I worked in a research lab. We had a radio (remember those things?) playing. Bob Dylan's "knockin on Heavens Door" came on. After a few bars, this youngun says "Hey, whose the guy with the whiny voice singing the GunsN Roses song?" SMH

    King Mack ran a 4.3 forty but was not the fastest on the team........ who is the fastest on PSU?

    To be clear, I'm talking straight line track speed, not "football" speed. As I understand things, Black was hurt this spring and didnt practice.
