Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 18hMatt, I think the entire non-conference college hoops schedule should just be 36 team tournaments with an 8 game group stage followed by 8 or 16 team single elimination bracket. You can do tournaments like this and have the only possible rematch is in the championship game. Thoughts? 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 18hIm stunned you like this show Sean. So bad. Every scene with Brosnan acting like a tough mob boss is laugh out loud funny. Similar with Considine character (maybe even a more pathetic character than Bunchy Donovan). Just big names with the most generic derivative gangster plot you can think of. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Stopped after episode 5. Stopped The Penguin after episode 4. Get this comic book nonsense out of the HBO Sunday night 9pm slot forever. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It sucks but they should've been in Bridgeport or Hartford the entire time. 111
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I'll reply to this every time you post it. Favorite band ever. Scott's solo album Owl John is literally just another great Frightened Rabbit album if you didn't know. And he's on 2 or 3 songs on Fruit Tree Foundation album. Check out out the brilliant cover of the song My Brother Tom as well. 010
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Was Tatum sitting out a game 7 with "knee stiffness" discussed? 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 14/09/2026They should have 2 weeks per season that are just conference vs conference 'challenges' like they do in college hoops. 8 conference games, 2 conference challenge games, 1 non power conference game. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I actually canceled the service after the game, not bc of any issues with the game, but bc I realized they literally have like 2 shows that I actually like. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 09/09/202616 teams. 2 guaranteed spots for each big 4 conference, one for the group of 5. 7 at large spots. Rd of 16 and QFs at home stadiums. The four QF losers play each other in 2 of the Big 6 bowls. 001
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 03/09/2026There needs to be a 30-for-30 just on Bonds HR off Percival that somehow has no video where it landed. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Gotta say I loved the the last 2 episodes, pulled me back. 110
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The correct name change should have been Tri-State Conference and have only schools from NY-NJ-CT. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Sad to say but HBO is closer now to TNT than classic great Sunday night HBO 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Fairfield County institution. Hot Dogs excellent, whenever they have a 2 for 4 deal, im there every time. Really is just better tasting fast food, guess I'd put it between a McDonald's and 5 Guys type place. 010
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 21/08/2026One of those mf'ers replaced a mf'ing Duchess in Darien, pissed me off so much. 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Also, I believe it to be the single most bingeable show ever and would do massive numbers if it can ever get to Netflix. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I know. I bought read and loved the book. And since it was published you haven't mentioned it once. I can make a case its the single greatest show ever. All time great as both a serialized drama and as a traditional procedural. Did you discuss it with Bill Simmons once? 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Wait, you actually acknowledged the existence of my favorite show of all time The Shield??? Show has been bizarrely memory holed from all online tv discourse for at least a decade now. 150
Reposted by ChrisCSketch @csketch.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Oh my god I think I found the video. 502122863707
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Hate to say it, but this show has really disappointed me. Loved the books so much and was so hyped for it. It's pretty good but I expected great. 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 28/07/2026The Bureau was great, S1 of The Agency was meh, S2 was actually great tho. Slow Horses is reliably good but definitely a tad overrated. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Also for many libs supporting gay marriage and weed legalization, and only those 2, makes them on the left in their minds. 010
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Libs (correctly) pointed out in the 21st century that conservatism simply became "im just against anything liberals are for" and nothing else. Then liberals turned around and just applied that same mindset to the actual left. 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 17/07/2026What'd he do? Besides be just about the worst shitlib imaginable. 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Oh Ivanka for sure but only because he couldn't stare at her tits anymore. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Love it. Now just gotta start the season with the NBA Cup imho. First 10 (or even 20) games of the season should be the group stage (5 groups of 6 based on location). Then 16 team single elimination. Then, 58 or 68 game reg season. Then traditional best of 7 4rd playoffs. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Hey was there any Shea/N3twork Spurs-Knicks finals 'content' that i somehow missed? If not, why not? 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I should add: parking bad, no real tailgating scene but great shuttle service to various drop points (Seminole Hard Rock in particular) 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Excellent IMO. Not a bad seat in the house. Pic is halfway up the upper deck. 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Prior to 2022 we were always the soccer equivalent of a college hoops team that couldn't handle pressure defense. Not anymore, largely bc of Adams and Mckennie. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Drew a gentleman's sweep is when the favored team with home court advantage wins the first 3 games and then essentially gifts game 4 to the inferior opposition in front of their home crowd and then finishes them off in 5. All other 5 game wins, the winning team is playing pressure packed games. 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I agree. I also think the player who the penalty is committed against should have to take the penalty kick. 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Was there any Concepcion/Serrano NBA Finals podcast somewhere that I missed somehow? 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 14/06/2026In the future Wemby gonna be having series where averages 42 and 18 with 7 blocks per game. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Brunson-Hart-Bridges winning as the starting 1-2-3 for NCAA champions and then same in the NBA 10 yrs later is preposterous. Unprecedented, maybe in any sport. Brunson on the all time NY sports Mt Rushmore now. 000
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 13/06/2026The one thats been completely forgotten: picking up Chauncey Billups team option, only to use the amnesty clause on him 2 weeks later to sign Chandler, thus leaving them unable to use the amnesty clause on Amare. 120
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I would like to know what the Luke O'Neil merging onto the highway method is. 100
Chris @readinginthedark.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Well she and Forest Whitaker both did full seasons of The Shield. But only for 1 season. 000
