re: In depth interview with GRRM has people thinking Winds of Winter will never be finished
Posted by SpqrTiger on 1/16/26 at 11:03 pm to weagle1999
He’s so full of shite. So Winds of Winter is the priority, but he has to do everything else first? Okay.
Look, dude… everyone has lost faith in you as far as finishing the series is concerned. You have our permission to walk away. Once you’re dead, someone less talented will finish it for you and no one will really care if it was you or not.

re: Starfleet Academy Academy Season 1 Discussion Thread. *Spoilers OK*

I think this show sucks so far. To me, this is just a parade of quirks and quips with bad acting and weird writing choices.
I’m not liking Holly Hunter in the captain’s chair as much as the idea of (younger) Holly Hunter in the captain’s chair. She’s too old and she doesn’t play the part with enough gravity. She seems weak to me. I actually like her as an actress. Just not how she fits the role on the screen.
I think the show gets the team aspect of Star Trek right. So I will give it credit there… but I just don’t like a lot of the characters here.
Maybe it will get better. I dunno. I didn’t like Discovery’s last couple of seasons, and this feels like it to me.

What a joke.
The irony is this “force” is more than they would muster if Russia or China showed up to take the island. Greenlanders should take note. You can be defended by the most powerful military on earth… or put your trust in these EU also-rans.

Look man… that is a living woman, serving the postal courts. She doesn’t have to provide ID. Asking for it is treason.
re: “POV: You Go to Louisiana.” How accurate is this?

Hmm. Sitting this one out.

People like to dismiss Neil Diamond as a middle of the road type of entertainer, but he is an incredible creative talent. Just think about how many songs of his that everyone knows the lyrics to. It’s more than just “Sweet Caroline.” We’re talking everything from “Forever in Blue Jeans” to “I’m a Believer.”
See… that’s the thing… his songs have that hook. That’s his gift. He can communicate strong emotions with just a few words.

This right here. A variant of this is when someone asks you to do something not understanding how long it takes to do it, as though it’s a “quick favor.”
No. We won’t be able to finish pouring a driveway for you in time for the game.
I remember telling my kids I need fewer people reporting to me that the trash can is full and more people actually taking out the trash when they see it’s full.
Same thing applies here. You are Congress. You have incredible power. Don’t pretend you’re powerless to fix this.

That’s how little the federal government cares about us. They will wring their hands about how they can’t afford a single project in Louisiana, but literally pour money into a conflict half a world away that has nothing to do with us. We fund death enthusiastically while laughing at projects to preserve and improve life. It’s sick.
I gave up on it a few episodes into season three because I found it repetitive.

re: Are hockey players the only athletes that want to play?
Posted by SpqrTiger on 12/10/25 at 12:21 pm to lsupride87
Football has a 100 percent injury rate. But guess what? So does hockey. 82 games in an NHL season. Plus playoffs. You’re going to get hurt.
The best decision I ever made as a sports fan was to triple my hockey watching and half my NFL watching. I don’t even bother with the NBA.
Just pick a team. Try it for a week. Just be into it for one week. You’ll come back for more.

Probably not. But I will say this… I had more fun watching them this week than any prior week of the season.
I don’t mind pulling for a young team that’s not so good. But I absolutely hate pulling for an old team that’s not so good.

I’m 22 minutes in. I don’t understand why so much is happening offscreen.
This is Mission Impossible. We are not supposed to have action scenes in digest form.

re: Spanish Town parade could leave Baton Rouge amid city-parish budget cuts
Posted by SpqrTiger on 12/4/25 at 12:40 pm to Dantheman504
Why is Spanish Town so reluctant to reduce the amount it sends to charity in order to cover its own security costs?
Maybe we should investigate the connections of Spanish Town leadership to these charities. There might be no connection at all. But we should make sure.

re: Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas
Posted by SpqrTiger on 12/3/25 at 6:53 pm to boxcarbarney
One of my favorite parts of this show is when Wendell offers Emmet a job mending a fence… so they can split 50 cents.
I mean, things are tough on the River, and Wendell is hooking his friend up with a paying job. Wendell is a baw.

Perfectly fine with being the villain to everyone else.
LSU shouldn’t care at all what the other teams and other fans think of us. In fact, we will win even more fans being the villain that wins championships.

re: ESPN Insider Calls Out Lane Kiffin for How He Handled Ole Miss Football Departure
Posted by SpqrTiger on 12/2/25 at 12:25 pm to NorthshoreTiger76
Total BS. Such a hypocrite, too. There’s not a broadcaster alive who would not make the jump to a bigger market the instant they got an offer. Old loyalties be damned.
But more importantly… no one ever sees it from LSU’s point of view. Just what the frick are we supposed to do? We are on a timeline, too. And we are going to push to get what we want. Because surprise… surprise… Ole Miss and their priorities DO NOT MATTER to us. I missed the part where we were only supposed to interview people who whose seasons were 100% complete and their employers were okay with it.

re: Why the for Coach “O” aka ZERO
Posted by SpqrTiger on 12/2/25 at 8:30 am to SOCAL TIGER
I’m not really in favor of bringing O back because I don’t think he will be a good influence on a “reformed” Lane Kiffin. I think he could potentially re-introduce bad habits.
re: Why do people keep saying Kiffin will eventually leave LSU for Bama?
Posted by SpqrTiger on 12/1/25 at 12:51 pm to Switchup91
It’s because the Bama folks always have to steer the conversation back to them, regardless of topic in college football.
Here we have something happening at LSU and Ole Miss that doesn’t involve them at all… and what do they want you to think?
But… what about Bama?
The more you see it and recognize it… the less it will affect you when it inevitably occurs.

Take Apollo Creed’s advice:
You can’t live today to the fullest if you’re afraid of tomorrow. Eye of the Tiger, baby. LSU vs. the World.
