Well rounded for a non-sports fan.

Yea, the league passes are pricey, and sports mostly sucks on the platform I'm selling. I do get the 30 For 30 series on Netflix, and I guess HBO has good boxing. I am really excited for the HBO/Bill Simmons relationship to develop.
League passes are a good alternative but blackout rules suck and they don't cover the playoffs.

"Russ was right. This guy fucks" was probably my favorite line of the season so far because of the depressed level of matter of fact resignation that Dinesh says it with.

Was watching the cinematic masterpiece Face/Off today, and saw a young Gavin Belson get shot in the head by John Travolta.

To be fair, like 14 million of that was stolen by his financial advisor.

I did think this episode was way too short on Gilfoyle and Jared. Loved seeing Russ though.
