Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Evaluating Herman's first (almost) 500 days...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
While recording the album, Ketch. Come on, you’re smarter than that.
He tracked all the instruments.
Not re-posting the video. Ketch, some of the youngs out here had probably never seen that catastrophe of a film. Inflicting that video on them may qualify as a crime against humanity.
Computer Blue is not a good song... it benefitted being between Daring Nikki and something else that was good (sorry, can’t remember) during the cassette tape days, where skipping a song required effort...
I disagree and will be curious to see how the vote goes. MNC is having an incredible year and leads in both defense and offense in large, large part to DB. If I'm starting a team, I take him first. Salah fits what Klopp likes but is a one way player... albeit very good.
You hush your mouth!
BTW, they did not treat Clyde well in the making of that movie.
Klopp doesn't really have one-way players. They all work hard on both ends.
Furthermore, I love KDB. He's one of my favorite players. He's having a great season.
I believe Salah is having a special season.
Which is just an average season for Kane. ;-) I think Salah finishes second and Kane third. I just think MNC is having an even more special season - hell one for the ages. I get your take, just don't think the vote will go that way.
Kimmel is a pissant with a platform. His views are 100% biased...and therefore worthless... and he just needs to keep them to himself during events like this. It's his ilk who have ruined the Oscar's ratings with their political diarrhea.

Ketch, awesome read! I also agree with you about Herman not settling for 3 inside the 10. Love his aggressiveness!
Well, 100% of his political jokes were aimed at one side of the political spectrum. It was quite obvious what his bias was. My point is you can be biased in your personal everyday life (including his late night show). I have no problem with that. Just leave it out of the freaking Oscar's. It just ruins them for a large mainstream majority of the country. Again, the Oscar's recent ratings reflect this.

Human Nature trounces Darling Nikki. Your diet has your body consuming brain cells on that call.
Human Nature is a wonderful pop song. Darling Nikki is perhaps the best sexy/raunchy song ever created.
Of all the bare chests I've ever seen, you possess one AND you are wrong on this one! Purple Rain handles the testing time better, IMO.

Clearly I disagree on that point. It hasn't been (the lack of) D Linemen that kept Texas in the land of suck for ~ 12 years.
For the record, the way you rate QBs as Job 1, I rate QB and OL as coequal Job 1. Without OL, you really never have a successful QB, notwithstanding Colt McCoy's ability to get rid of the ball in .5 seconds. No other QB has ever managed the feat, and none will (and it was still the limiting factor on Colt's teams). It's a stupid idea to even try, IMO, and was born of necessity, not strategy or anything like being optimum football.
No offense intended by my comments. Again for the record, I rank DL just behind OL in importance, so it's not like we have a complete disagreement. We have near-agreement.
(And where you can get by with a semi-cohesive or accomplished D-Line overall, an OL has to be successful as a group; 1 weak link can spoil the entire play of the unit, even when it's a different player each play).

You gotta admit that was completely inconsistent with the whole #metoo movement in Hollywood over the months since Weinstein was exposed, so to speak. They're against sexual assault and harrassment, except when they're not.
Really good column Ketch.
The issue I have with this super aggressive go for it all the time approach is Herman simply didn't have the offensive personnel or brilliant play-caller to be successful with this strategy. He went for it while ignoring the flaws built into his team's offense.
Sure his magic chart might work out if you have the 05 Texas or 05 USC offense, or Tom Brady or Carson Wentz at QB, but he failed to re-calibrate the chart for the 2017 version of the Texas offense. If he had, the chart would have told him to take points in most cases because your offense has only a 5% chance of converting 4th and goal from the 5 yard line.

The chart is NOT derived from a statistical analysis of those teams/
players exclusively, therefore is not dependent on having those teams or players.

Actually I think most of us did not watch it.....
Judging by the ratings....that seems to be the overwhelming opinion.

I agree with you on the Prince topic vs Michael Jackson.
Prince had Vanity, Apalonia and Sheila E
MJ had a pet monkey and Lisa Marie Presley....
Purple Rain and Prince's music in general has aged better than Thriller and MJ's music.
On a side note while Purple Rain was Prince's biggest commercial success. Most hardcore Prince fans consider Sign O' the Times his unquestioned best album.

First of all, if anyone thinks the entertainment industry is not bias needs to pull their head out of the sand. Of course they are. They all live in NY and LA. What do you expect.
Second of all, this year is the year of women in this industry and at least they are doing their best to actually drain the swamp, not just talk about it. So, yes Kimmel and others
talked about it soooo much it became stale. But hey, women have suffered a ton and deserve this year. The show was capped off by Kimmel saying he wished he was a woman...not sure why.
I heard little to no political banter from anyone so I view the overall show as Ketch says, very down the middle for the entertainment industry.
As for best pic winner. I personally thought Shape of Water was a stupid and somewhat demeaning to women. Why does a woman have sex with a sea lizard anyways? Loved the acting
by Mr Jenkins who was nominated, but the rest of the cast including Shannon were weak at best and the story was lame. IMO, Billboards, LadyBird, Phantom and Get Out were all
much better movies by far.
As for hoops, best game of the season since our early days at Duke and Gonzaga. It sure is odd we dont have any really good specific updates on Bamba's foot or Davis coming back. What gives??
Personally, MJ music sux. Dude is a creep and a pedo. Ever since he got charged the first time, I will never allow his music in my house or car. Guy is a criminal and hurt children, why anyone celebrates
this guys music is beyond my comprehension.
Texas played fora national title in 2009 with great quarterback play, a dominant defensive line and a shitty offensive line.Clearly I disagree on that point. It hasn't been (the lack of) D Linemen that kept Texas in the land of suck for ~ 12 years.

Kobe wasn't the only one with a checkered past accepting a trophy last night. Inconsistencies are as mainstream as it gets.
True.
However, in proper context, an 18.9 overnight is pretty spectacular in this age of cord-cutting.
