He does a really good job on most of his videos
God loves you so much He'll meet you where you are. He also loves you too much to allow to stay where you are.

I could get behind this rule tweak.

If I can't have him at Tottenham then I'm glad to have him at team USA.


Finished 5th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th in his tenure in the EPL. Our best 5 seasons since 1956-62 era. And he took us to Champions League Final in 2019 and was fired 5 months later after no mgmt reinvestment in that offseason he was disillusioned and the team fell in bad form for a bit.

We've not even come really close to that level again and cycled through 10 managers including interims in the 7 years since.

I was half hoping we would get him back after a good World Cup for the US but now we've thrown in for de Zerbi after saving us from relegation and they are at least investing in a rebuild.

I'd take him back in a heartbeat though if we start slow.

But I think he has been an excellent fit for the US team.

I've been choosing Telemundo more often than not because Peacock is far more consistent a stream than Sling.

You'd be shocked at what they know. Several years ago when my wife had a movie out on Netflix they were able to track age, household income, ethnicity, location, even profession. They would then be able to cross reference that with viewing preferences.


You could target say Japanese businessmen over 43, living in Osaka, making at least $150k a year, who like to watch live sports and zombie horror and serve them specific ads.

The VAR official is signaling me to take another look at this post.

Poster nai06 namedropped Netflix and his wife. This is unsporting behavior: yellow card is issued to the poster, and his point is disallowed.

I mean it was back in 2018 and I talked quite a bit about it when it came out. My wife is an author and one of her books was made into a movie. We got to go to the filming, walk the red carpet at the release, and even got a small cameo in movie. There's a long thread on the entertainment board about it.

The Netflix info is real and honestly kind of scary how much they know about you

Yeah, no worries. Wasn't it Dumplin? Dolly Parton adjacent, Aniston starred.

I can't remember to water the plants even when my wife tells me four times, but some random Netflix movie that's connected to some random guy on TexAgs? I got that locked down.

We love Dolly, and I think my wife enjoyed the movie, so hat tip to Mrs nai06. And to you, I suppose.

Edit: referee's decision is final though, your name is still in the book.

That's Michael "Little Mick" Hewitt, a 65-year-old diehard Leeds United and England fan, and he had tickets to the World Cup in America. Unfortunately, he lost his phone when he got to Barcelona for a layover, so he then had no way of getting to America, because his tickets were all on his phone.

After he lost his phone, he was devastated.

Ten days later!
They found him safe and sound in a Barcelona bar, blissfully sipping away, possibly watching soccer, and having zero clue that his relatives were one step away from printing missing posters with his face on milk cartons.


Lol. I'm sure he was devastated....when they found him

You've heard the story of his grandfather.

Worked at a brewery and drowned in one of the vats. When asked if he'd suffered, the foreman replied, 'nae, he came up for air three times."
