Oscars thoughts

Okay, the slap. It was weird. Will no doubt laughed, then saw Jada was upset and felt compelled to act (even though she has humiliated him a LOT in recent years). The joke itself wasn't that good, but it hardly warranted retaliation. It certainly made Twitter a blast the rest of the night. 

I'm always most interested in the 4 acting categories.
Will Smith won as expected, which made for quite the scene. 
I was rooting for Kristen Stewart, but I'm not mad that Jessica Chastain finally has an Oscar. Just wish it was for a better film.
The guy from Coda won and gave a nice speech. It was sweet that the woman from Minari stood there holding the trophy so he could sign. 
Arianna Debose won. Well deserved. 

Coda won Best Picture, which I believe makes it the first such winner that I have not seen at the time it won since, I think, Shakespeare In Love. 
The only thing Power Of The Dog won was best director.
Dune won a bunch of tech awards.
Billie Eilish won. That's cool. 
Licorice Pizza was shut out. That's not cool. 

I didn't think the overall show was that bad. Hate away, but I actually thought Amy Schumer was pretty funny. Regina Hall too.
Naturally the Beyonce performance was overhyped. I swear she could release a song with nothing but fart noises and get praised.
They completely ruined the "In Memoriam" segment with weird dancing.
I don't understand why they gave out awards before the show only to then circle back and show the speeches.

I am glad they brought back the clips for the acting categories. I liked some of the themed presenters too. 

I never care if the show is long. Watch a long show once a year, whiners. You'll watch hours of some bullshit every day but THIS is where you draw the line?

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
