Short Shots

Just a variety of meaningless quick thoughts:

- For Love of the Game is actually a pretty good movie.

- Why the hell is The Karate Kid Remake called the Karate Kid? The kid goes to China, gets beaten down by a kid using kung fu, learns kung fu from a kung fu master, enters a kung fu tournament and wins a kung fu tournament using kung fu. So why wasn't it called the Kung Fu Kid? Stupid.

- If you are into sports gambling and you hear, "This situation is 19-0 in the last 20 years", it's probably useless. Most of these idiots trying to sell picks will say something like, "I like San Francisco this week. Road teams that won their home opener that are playing against a home favorite that lost their first game of the season as a 3-7 point underdog by more than 10 points in the first game for a new head coach are 24-1 since 1983" The more parameters you add to a betting angle, the more useless that angle is.

- I guess I can retire my #makenickdiaztufcoach twitter hashtag for a while. If the guy can't show up for a press conference for a title fight he's in, not much chance of him wanting to coach in The Ultimate Fighter.

- What happened to Anna Faris's face between Lost in Translation and her latest piece of shit romantic comedy?

- I saw the 2024 version of Laurel from the RW/RR Challenge at Publix. Not the first time I've seen a famous person's doppelganger at one of my grocery stores.
