Fonzie from Happy Days
People said Kevin, from The Office. But, also Creed.
Eric Matthews is one of the best examples of this. Total change.

So, if they got paid what they were worth, they’d have to pay to play in the WNBA?

But the final talk with Johnny and Kreese was honestly an award worthy performance by Zabka imo. What an amazing arc 40 years in the making for him to absolutely nail that scene. Lot of truth and pain revealed in that moment and ultimately strength. Made the whole thing worth it. Zabka and Kove both delivered big there.
Yes. Excellent. I thought after that scene that we’ve been robbed for 35 years not seeing Zabka in more movies. He’s a legit great actor. That scene was incredible.
And seeing Kreese with a redemption arc was good too.

This is the correct answer. Worst scene ever. The cowardice. Makes me sad and angry at the same time. Dude. DO SOMETHING!

Oh, so you trust movie reviewers. Gotcha.
It was a lot better than people are saying. Not Civil War good or anything, but better than Captain Marvel.

It’s absolutely happening. I’m friends with a park ranger and he’s posting a lot of stuff from his friends. These folks are all Trump supporters, by the way, and they are in shock. Some of the best rangers are being cut and there is no rhyme or reason to it. Just straight cuts and it’s getting everyone.
Good luck going to National Parks this year.

Just saw it. I was prepared for it to be terrible and it was actually pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t one of the best MCU movies, but it was far from the worst.

re: New Georgia Bill would exempt NIL from State Income Taxes.....
Posted by AlaTiger on 2/4/25 at 5:35 pm
That's really awful when you think about it. Tax free education and tax free pay for play, all so the football team can have a recruiting advantage. And, a lot of people will cheer this on who don't have close to what these players now have and have to pay taxes on what they earn.
We provide tax incentives to industries that are bringing new jobs into the state because that will increase tax revenue in the long run. What is the benefit to the people of Georgia for Georgia to land that 5 star QB over Tennessee or Alabama? Are they saying that college recruits bring in more revenue to the state (not just the university), and thus, more jobs?
I'd love to see an economic analysis of this bill.

Why is CGI so bad now?
Posted by AlaTiger on 2/1/25 at 10:03 pm
Saw the new Captain America trailer and it looks like a Disney+ show in its presentation. The CGI seems terrible everywhere.
Watched the first Gladiator movie recently and the CGI was really good. And that was over 20 years ago. Why has it gotten worse lately?

Vic Fangio and the Dome Patrol

Watching Philadelphia’s defense and it reminded me of that great LB corp back in the late 80s where all 4 LB’s went to the Pro Bowl. Fangio was the LB Coach from 1986-1994.
We had a dominant defense back in the day. Cool to see Fangio have continued success.

re: Ice: 538 arrests today. Will work 7 days per week until further notice
Posted by AlaTiger on 1/24/25 at 12:46 am
The 550 were arrests, not deportations.
Here's how many were actually deported in FY2024:
That's an average of 743 deportations per day last year. My guess is that with more focus, funding, and effort, that number will increase. But, its not like we haven't been deporting people at all and we don't already have the apparatus set up. It just needs to be accelerated. And, securing the border and stopping the inflow will help the number going out make a bigger dent. We had over 2 Million come in last year.

Good. They are operating at a higher rate than the rate per day in FY2024.
Investigations, Arrests and Seizures: ICE’s Core Law Enforcement Mission
Between its two operational directorates — ERO and Homeland Security Investigations — ICE enforces more than 400 statutes and laws enacted by Congress.
FY 2024 | ICE Annual Report
During FY 2024, ERO conducted 113,431 administrative arrests, including 33,243 at-large arrests, while HSI conducted 32,608 criminal arrests and seized over 1.6 million pounds of narcotics, over $886 million in criminally derived currency and assets, and approximately $192 million in virtual currency. The directorates also identified and/or recovered 1,783 child victims of exploitation.
ICE’s Global Footprint
ERO removed 271,484 noncitizens with final orders of removal to 192 different countries, including 88,763 who had charges or convictions for criminal activity; 3,706 known or suspected gang members; 237 known or suspected terrorists; and eight human rights violators. More than 30% of those removed during the fiscal year had criminal histories, with an average of 5.63 convictions and/or charges per individual, and many of their criminal histories were extremely serious. During the year, ERO also identified and arrested individuals who were wanted in their home countries for crimes such as terrorist activities and participation in torture.

re: Ohio State's 5 Wins vs AP Top 5 Teams is the most in the history of the AP Poll (1936)

Just shows that they spent the last part of the year out of the top 5. Because they had 2 losses and lost to an unranked team.
Glad they had upsets. Doesn't make them the greatest team. And, you have INDIANA in there. Try again.

Why would he go from being OC of the AFC Championship contending Buffalo Bills with Josh Allen as QB to become the OC of the LSU Tigers?
I don't understand why anyone would do that.
