Yeah he has talked about it, said they almost got him once. It sounded like he had it under control. Was in Columbia though so no telling.

Not sure how I missed his coma from a heroin overdose 20 years ago.

Maybe so. I just know Grohl made Nirvana imo. He played with a ferocity I hadn't really heard before.

They're both heavy hitters. Taylor played for the song more, not as flashy (at least with the Foos). Watched some instrumental stuff of his this weekend on YouTube, great stuff.

Villanova is like a cheat code for NCAA tournament success
- Wright doesn’t do one and dones and experience wins in the tournament
- they prioritize guards and guards win in the tournament
- they switch everything with personnel that’s pretty much the same longish 6-3 to 6-8 guy
- they play system fundamental basketball at both ends
- they’re analytics driven in the way they hoist threes and shoot fouls

Wright is a fantastic college coach. I've always wondered how he would do in the pros, but I don't know that we'll ever find out. He's perfect where he is.

When The U's Kameron McGusty was first mentioned during the game for some odd reason I thought of MC Gusto (Chris Rock) from the movie CB4.

That's just like my reaction to the constant talk about Ukraine's president Zelensky. Instantly brings Tommy Boy to mind and Akyroyd's Zalinsky character lol....

Just in general (tv, radio, internet etc).

Considering that wanna-be dictator in Russia is trying do to everything he can to wipe Ukrainians out I understand why.

It's tough, because metal musicians often get ignored as well as fusion/jazz guys. Most fans of more popular music will have never heard of them. Comparing someone like Dave Grohl to Gene Hoglan, Mike Portnoy, Danny Carey, and even less known musicians isn't a fair fight, lol.

Strangely enough, I'm hearing just as much talk about him because women are fawning over him lol.

All the experts been raving about Willis's arm and athleticism.
If that were the case there would be talk about him going near top of the draft (and, hell, maybe he will). I'd be leery of any QB who does not go top 10.
