    I hope these amendments are voted down and Ben Sulayem and his corrupt cronies are shown the door after the coming election.

    This was not a good race. This was not a fun race. This was a train wreck. The FIA needs new leadership. Formula 1 needs professional stewards and a qualified race director. Incompetence and bad intentions everywhere. Hopefully next season everybody can course correct.

    The Wire was shot in full frame 4:3 on film. The remaster cuts information the cinematographer and director included as part of a conscious choice to shoot in the 4:3 aspect ratio. If you can find the DVD sets, I'd recommend them over watching in widescreen.

    I'm a tiny bit disappointed the Celtics weren't at full strength for this one but it's still a good win. On to Cleveland!

    Steph Curry is back for another Warriors win! I know it's early and last year's fast start fizzled out about this time but this has been a pretty enjoyable start to the season. The next 5 games should tell us a lot about this year's ceiling... Boston on Wednesday!

    He's playing with fire; the IRS tweaks the rules and he could lose hundreds of millions. I too hope they close this loophole.

    See, I like that about him- most of my other subscriptions are to people who are very dry in their presentation, but I enjoy Alch's showmanship. I haven't subscribed to the patreon but the breakdowns he's posted to free YouTube have been excellent. I want to like Awful Coaching but he's just too negative and I'm not into that.

    Yeah, that 8 minutes at the end of the third and beginning of the 4th that Kerr key play out was TORTURE. I too nearly turned it off. Kerr said post game that Wiggins had tweaked his ankle which made him reluctant to put Wiggins back in.

    I also remember when the best thing the Warriors had on their playoff history was a surprise series win over the Mavs and BD going Superman on AK-47. I get so tired of all the youngsters complaining and constantly posting brain dead trade proposals. To be fair, I can be a little bit more peevish about the Niners because I grew up during their 5/5 run of Superbowls, so I kind of get where the youngsters are coming from. Still, I would really like everybody to chill out and realize how special it is to win 12 regional championships in the last 44 years.

    -and be more patient with the young guys!

    Lol, the guy you wanted to opt out but doesn't. Hopefully he can be healthy to start next season.

    I've been really happy with the Warriors' first 5 games, the clippers game notwithstanding. Now if only I could stop seeing the trade Kuminga demands from all the grasshoppers, I'd be gold.
