NFL instant replay is a heap of shit.
Zero chance Shough got the ball across, but because one idiot official got it wrong, it can’t be overturned.
I maintain: replay officials should not know the original call. Remove the bias toward it.
THE WEST WING character rankings after the first 4 seasons, credited main cast only:
Toby
CJ
Josh
Donna
Charlie
Jed
Sam
Abbie
Will *
Leo
* Small sample size, as his character only joins the cast midway through the 4th season.
I could go either way on the order of Donna/Josh. Many of these are close. Leo has a few good moments but mostly sucks, and everyone else is on a tier above him.
We’re in season 5 (the 1st one post-Sorkin). Everyone is meaner. Some of the verve and zing are gone. The show still has a pretty high floor, but it’s lost some ceiling. Leo still sucks (no shade to the late John Spencer, who’s great).
I know #AppleTV gets a lot of love for shoes like SLOW HORSES, SHRINKING, and TED LASSO, but TRYING is pretty fucking great, too. Terrific writing and performances.
#Orioles reaction: I don’t think Adley was staying long-term. Trading him now means 2 pennant races and not 1.
Now, the question of whether a team within 3 games of the playoffs should sell is another matter entirely. She expand the postseason if so many teams just go 🤷♂️?
