Wingspan. ** A family in North Dakota found a teen Rex. ** In Montana a Lakiceratops was found. The Cretaceous creature was about 22 feet long, 5and a half tons and looked a bit like a rhino. There were 2 curving horns above the eyes and a headshield with blades and spikes. The plant eater was found only a couple of miles from Canada.

The Supreme Court seems to be dragging their feet on some things. They did uphold banning domestic abusers from owning guns. Thomas dissented, of course! ** The Court also allowed emergency abortions in Idaho on a temp basis. The court also weighed in on the census and won’t allow the citizenship question. The ruling about federal agencies allows that they should be able to fill in the details aren’t crystal clear which essentially undoes the Chevron decision. The Court also ruled that outdoor sleeping bans don’t violate the 8th amendment. That takes care of 1 problem the unhoused has. They also ruled that the charge of obstructing an official proceeding must include proof that a defendant tried to tamper with or destroy documents.

I am glad Jasmine Crockett gave us all the entire context of the ugly exchange between she and the green goblin.

Would we be here if Trump and Netanyahu hadn’t torn up the Iran nuclear deal? Israel has trouble on all sides with Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran.

The First Presidential debate took place on June 27. Dana Bash and Jake Tapper asked the questions on CNN. With 37 years debate experience, Joe Biden disappointed everyone. Trump was measured, firm and confident. Did he babble lie after lie? Yes. Did Biden make Fox news and the other Trumpers come? Probably. The debate was everything the right could have dreamed of. Did he have a cold? People looking for the senior moment did not wait long. I couldn’t help but think that it was almost the opposite of the famous Nixon/ Kennedy debate. People who watched thought Kennedy won but those who listened found it much more even. This time Trump looked mean and Biden looked weak so it was a wash with watching. But, listening, Biden was a mess. Every hesitation, every fumble, every distant stare was a gift to Fox. Biden is slow but rarely wrong. His words were mixed up but there were no outright lies (much) like his opponent. They both dodged questions because they were too busy with their pissing contest. Golf scores?? WTF? It is bizarre when trump is the one that thinks they shouldn’t act like children. Biden was too over rehearsed and Trump had no cohesive answers ** I did love the way they cut off the mikes. That should be a keeper!!!! There is so much wasted time when they talk over each other. I liked the lack of audience too. That is what rallies are for. ** Why does Trump think that Christians don’t vote? ** Back in the day, Presidents didn’t campaign, they let the work speak for them. If Biden stays then he might want to lean into that. I also get tired of Dems listing off those who should take Biden’s place and they never seem to think of our more than competent VP. Kamala Harris hit it out of the park when she was interviewed after. If Joe stays, I am glad she is there. If he feels he can’t go on, she should be our pick. Is it because she is a woman that we don’t think of her first?  She is ready!!! VP’s are always made fun of but let’s not forget how great those VP’s can be when called upon like Lyndon Johnson, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR. If Joe decided to go, Harris/ Pritzker please!! But.. Hey.. At least we are all talking about Joe and not Scary clown for a change. Joe has our attention. I still believe Joe has great people in place and had a bad moment but I am still confident. I don’t know any 81 year olds personally who have a lot of energy at 8 at night. I think we have forgiven Trump for MANY bad days so Joe can have get a pass on this horrid night.

Debate performances can be overcome. At the first sign of adversity the spineless Democrats want to throw under the bus, their own incumbent President. - Allan Lichtman 

***** 

Did the late night guys have a feeling that Joe would blow it and they didn’t want to face it? They all leave on vaca at once? ** It is pretty sad that before the debate, journalists basically thought Trump would be ok if he could just act normal and Biden would be ok if he can stay upright. Both accomplished these small tasks but barely. ** I often joke that Trump must be trying to lose with the things he says but debate night, I wondered if Joe was on our side. Is he trying to lose? 

***** 

 I never watch the View anymore but I checked it out after the debate and I have to say I was alarmed by Sara Haines appearance. She always looked so natural and I could hardly see her for all the makeup. To each his own but I found it quite sad. What happened there??

I just can’t believe that I get my Days wish that Brady and Teresa are back together (if only for a moment ) but wrong actress. And seeing Teresa and Leo together really made me miss Gwen and Leo’s friendship. Emily O’Brien is a good Gwen. I hate Gwen. Soaps need those characters. That is the fun of a soap! Just let her go back to Gwen.** Oh no Johnny and Chanel don’t leave!! ** So great to see Clyde. Is he getting sexier? ** It was great to see Julie talking to Marie.

Scary Clown 45/34 made a big show of himself at the Capitol. The ass kissers applauded for a scary long time. Trump told his people, “ Milwaukee, where we are having our convention is a horrible city.” He later clarified that that wasn’t what he meant. He claims that he was just concerned about the crime numbers and that he wants to be safe. Homicide is down 41%. Well, now Dems have billboards all over Milwaukee and there are t shirts on line with his hate. ** I love Milwaukee- Joe Biden ** and BTW, despite the insane fear mongering that Fox news spreads, crime is actually down across the country. When they are confronted with facts they claim that it doesn’t ‘feel’ like it. How do they live with themselves??

The Republicans blocked a bill to regulate the Supreme Court. I will never understand this need to let authority run roughshod over this country. And this pattern of distrust and secrecy from Nixon to Reagan to Trump and the Bush’s. Power and money is not enough, they must push the rest of us down. What is that about? Why do they want us to be Russia? The whining about the way the court behaved in regards to Trump is priceless. Let them go to court in Russia and see how fair it is. ** Trump wants to lower corporate tax rates even more. He visited a black church over Father’s Day weekend in Detroit. Detroit is 77.8% black.The black pastor tried to get more African Americans to come to the service. There were a couple of local rappers and a former mayor just out of prison. Cameras panned back to show the pews filled with mostly white men in MAGA hats and Trump mug shot tee’s. ** What is this obsession with water pressure? Is this just Florida?  I don’t know anybody that has these same problems.

His tax breaks for the rich expire in 2025. Biden has vowed not to bring them back. He is working on those tax loopholes.

Colorado Springs, Breckenridge, Aspen, Frisco, CO

In the distance, a gradient of burnt orange rising to dark blue speckled with white lights, stood as the backdrop for silhouette of the Colorado mountains. As the automatic doors slid open, a rush of dry, temperate air offset the cool, controlled air within the airport, a harsh contrast to the heavy humidity of Florida. The plane had left Florida in the late afternoon, landing in Colorado Springs just as the sun dipped below the line of the horizon. After a two-hour drive in a rental car under a darkening sky, signs for Breckenridge appeared along the road.

The first leg of the trip was spent navigating trails near the hotel. Patches of hard, un-melted snow lay scattered across the hills and trails, protected in part by shade from the tall pine trees. Thin layers blanketed mountain peaks in the unreachable distance. Evenings were spent shopping and enjoying restaurants in the small town nearby. After the winter sports thrill seekers had gone, and the snowbirds had returned from their vacation homes in the South, the streets were primarily populated with locals and summer vacationers. The buildings were quaint, dark brick and light stone with large windows lit by sunlight during the day and the warm orange glow of artificial light at night.

After exhausting the attractions in Breckenridge, we drove southwest, winding between mountains and forests. Most roads had two lanes and were straight and flat, with clear predictable turns and curves. Others ran up and along mountainsides.

I remember looking out the window, past the road and down the steep slope, feeling a combination of carsickness from the winding roads and vertigo from the change in altitude. The knowledge of damp roads beneath our tires acted as fuel on the fire of my growing anxiety. Being a native Floridian, with my Floridian parent behind the wheel, I feared the unpredictable, tight curves as we climbed higher and higher.

Cool, clean air filled my lungs upon opening the car door and stepping out onto the loose earth. The sand and gravel underfoot stretched from the parking lot to a narrow path nestled between Aspens. The mountain itself stood out against the clear blue sky, looming above a crystalline blue lake. Water from the lake flowed into a river alongside the path, cascading over and between rocks and boulders. Small gray stones lined either side of the path leading to the beginning of the hiking trail. Uneven stone slabs and dirt acted as stairs, embedded by time and nature. Trees grew from the mountainside framing the path and curving overhead.

In the ascent up the mountain, breaks in the trees gave way to a shifted perspective. From above, the true breadth of the lake revealed itself, as did the spectacular view of the surrounding mountain peaks with snow topped crests. The path segued from sand to gravel to stone and boulders. Towering trees grew between the boulders along small inclines.

Progression up the mountain path brought higher altitudes and burning lungs, as a life spent at sea level failed to produce the lug capacity necessary for climbing. Frequent breaks extended the hike, but finally, tired and breathless, we reached the plateau.

Past the narrow sand and gravel trail, between trees and boulders, at the top amongst the surrounding mountain peaks, a turquoise blue lake with red clay accents sat nestled in a hidden nook. Breezes snuck past the gaps between mountains, and the sun beat down from a cloudless sky. The rush of water grazing the rocks, grass and dirt, burbled in the silence, accompanied by the rustle of pine needles and the swaying dance of the trees. Scattered voices rang out from passing tourists and hikers, a short burst of laughter, a whisper, a reverent phrase. Most, however, soaked in the silence of the moment, of the lake seemingly separate from the rest of the world.

Leaving behind this oasis was bittersweet, but our plan was to return to Breckenridge within the next day or so. The return trip seemed shorter, easier. The struggle came in leaving behind the beauty of the mountain.

The last leg of the trip found us back in Breckenridge. Rental bikes allowed us to traverse the trails between Breckenridge and Frisco. The long, scenic route ran between the highway and the mountains. Momentum increased with the small dips on the path and decreased as the path once again began to ascend, eventually becoming an incline starting at the base of the mountain. Burning calves worked petals, spinning wheels moved up the slope, and hearts pounded.

As we crested the mountain top, Frisco appeared through the trees. The off-grade buildings followed the slope of the terrain, and streets were lined with event tents crowded with people. Muffled voices rang out, amplified by speakers from the small concert stage at the end of the road. The sound of meat sizzling on the grill joined the cacophony, and the aroma of grilling meat left mouths watering.

The next day, our flight departed once again from Colorado Springs to Florida. Despite cracked, dry, and sunburnt skin, the trip was deemed a success.

I think the PAC is at a breakthrough point in their negotiations.

OK, not that earth shattering of an opinion today.  But it is a huge departure on my take on their negotiations previously --- based on two tweets, the words of Colorado’s chancellor, and a series of articles I dug up.

For those of you who have read my writing on various platforms going back to my bleacher report days 15 years ago, you know how I work.  

I don’t generally interview sources by choice because I don’t want to be steered by an AD or assistant AD who is beholden to groupthink and conventional wisdom.  That decision admittedly hurts me sometimes, but I am much more interested in the minority opinions that make the unexpected changes that rock conference alignments.

I want to know what they unintentionally reveal when they shoot off to their local media, not their canned speaches.  So I read a lot of articles and look for gaffes and interesting stuff.

Well if you look there are some articles talking about Apple and how deep they will get into the PAC negotiations.  

The talk now is that Apple might be the main buyer for the PAC’s tier 1 content, not Amazon.  Everything I had read before has Amazon driving the tier 1 negotiations. 

Unlike Amazon, I think Apple is a good faith partner.  I don’t think Apple would, for instance, sell out the PAC to get into the Big Ten deal. If Apple is leading the discussion for tier 1 rights, I can understand the potential of PAC optimism.

If true, that changes my perspective entirely.  Apple needs content. Adding SDSU and SMU would probably not be a big deal for Apple.  12 schools, the amount that PAC voting members like Colorado’s Chancellor, Phil DiStefano prefer, might be “right-sized” for Apple. 11 you can sell and one more that is just the cost of doing business to land the PAC.

The PAC can provide a lot of content.  More than most other conferences and more than just the revenue sports.  

Apple has other media contracts where they supply games to linear broadcasters.  

This is an association that makes sense to me.  This looks like the basis of a very healthy partnership.

This is interesting at a time when Colorado’s Chancellor gave an interview where he sounded drunk with success and optimism and said that he thinks there is a pretty good chance the PAC ends up the 3rd highest paid conference per member.

That’s huge...

If I understood his take correctly realignment podcaster Greg Fluglar took this as a university leader setting the bar high for a potential departure if the numbers fall short. Kind of sending a message.

It is possible, but I disagree with that take because the article is so glowingly pro-PAC.  There is setting the bar high, but to potentially have to turn around and announce a departure 60 days from now after pronouncing the PAC and ideal home in so many ways?  I don’t think a university leader would do that. 

I took that as the Chancellor was thrilled that the addition of Deion Sanders as he essentially gives the Chancellor a free pass to do whatever he chooses with his school --- and The Chancellor makes the argument pretty conclusively that the school’s best home is the PAC.. 

Add that to this tweet from Jim Williams that has tipped off this Apple talk..

That is saying a lot.

Let me give you the articles I am reading.  

Let’s start with an article by David Hookstead from Clay Travis’s pro-SEC site Outkick.com.  Its an interesting pro Big 12 slant. 

Andrew Marchand appears to have hit on this early in late February.  He confirms  many others’ impressions that ESPN and Amazon are lukewarm on the PAC. (He also mentions Fox as lukewarm...What I had been reading suggested they were not interested at all, but that can always change.)  He talks of them discussing more than just using the PAC 12 network to generate content. What if the PAC could end up with a lot of their non-revenue sports on AppleTV?.. all great news in PAC terms. 

He did caution that Apple apparently drove off the NFL by being too detail consumed...but that could be a positive for the PAC.  Apple may feel a need to rehab their reputation as negotiation partners. 

Jim Williams pulls back the curtain even further late last month revealing that Apple CEO Tim Cook has for quite a while now noticed what a lot of us have --- that the PAC12 media asset is underpriced --- and has viewed it as an asset of interest.

Reading this article I can imagine Cook laying in wait for the PAC’s other partners to lowball the PAC and then step in and offer a richer but very bearable deal to “Save” the PAC and earn future loyalty from the conference.  He also notes that Apple specifically worked with MLS on their similar visibility concerns. 

There is sooo much there in this article.  I think you can see why the WB negotiations may have ended abruptly.   It is VERY possible that Apple has assured the PAC they will sell content to linear providers like the WB/

Here is some from his amazing article at Forbes...

“Here are some of the possible options on how the deals could work.

Let's begin with Apple TV+ they find a liner partner to sublease some games I still think Fox, CBS, or even the CW would be willing to listen to package for the right price. There could still be place for ESPN to have their Pac-12 After Dark package.

Amazon gets a Friday Night Game of the week meanwhile ESPN airs two Saturday with the rest airing on ESPN+ that would solve the liner issue but would the Worldwide Leader in Sports put up the cash to make everyone happy remains the issue.

Apple TV+ gets the whole package and ESPN gets two games one Friday and the other Saturday.”

As is this...

“A note to the athletic directors who want exposure saying no to Apple and Amazon because of their preference for a liner partner. Perhaps they haven’t been paying attention the only possibility for that to happen is to take a low-ball deal from ESPN that would get a few games on the network but likely a huge package on their streamer ESPN +.”

Finally, there is an article from February by Jeff Collier which is also insightful in the question it perhaps unintentionally asks when it notes the Apple is broadcasting every MLS game.  This is the thing...Linear partners have pretty well established thresholds of levels of interest makes financial sense to distribute.  Streaming partners likely have entirely different thresholds.  Acquiring the FULL Pac sports inventory could allow a LOT more content (different sports) to get on the air than just a deal with say ESPN.

THAT is a very PAC type goal.

His article is also very insightful on how the pieces might work together.

➛ them with a reader who gets really into watching sports

— included : cc!dream, cc!sapnap, cc!niki, cc!quackity, cc!karl

— warnings : cursing

— note : it won’t be mentioned a lot, but the sport that I thought of as I was writing this was hockey! in celebration of playoffs starting today, here’s some headcanons :) (go colorado)

— also yes my post layout changes every week — i’m trying to find what I like lmfao

➛ dream

we all know that clay also gets into sports hardcore

so I don’t think he’d bat an eye at you screaming at a tv in the other room

in all honesty I think he’d rush in to see what’s got you so heated

if he understands the sport, he’ll get just as into it with you

jumping and cheering on goals

groaning and yelling when a bed call or goal happens

overall he matches your energy

^ wants to get matching jerseys immediately

➛ sapnap

he doesn’t have to understand what’s going on to flip out

if he sees you freaking out over something

he’ll be freaking out just as much

he gives me ‘physical while watching sports vibes’

not in a weird way

but if the team you’re cheering for scores, he’d just turn to you and hug you

^ he gets excited easily

I can also see him as the dude that’s constantly moving during it

foot tapping, fingers drumming, hands running through his hair, etc.

he definitely gets nervous watching sports (literally me)

➛ niki

concerned™️

while she can see how people get easily hyped up over things

she’s just confused as to why your pacing, yelling, or jumping around

sits on the couch and just watches you lose your shit

“are you fucking kidding me?!”

“what happened?”

will ask you to tell her about what happened even though she watched it happen and can see why you’re either mad or happy

just so she can hear you talk passionately about it

there’s definitely been a moment when she’s streaming and the chat can hear you losing it in the background

➛ quackity

video tapes it

either just for blackmail

to send to his friends

or he’s posting it for the world to see

you make it onto one of those ‘funniest quackity moments’ videos

he will edge you on — if you’re mad about a bad call made, he’ll side with the refs — always

he wants to see how angry he can get you

while he’s teasing and provoking normally, he would also like to actually sit down and watch the game with you

he doesn’t have to understand what’s going on to feel the energy that not only you, but the players on the screen radiate

➛ karl

concerned number two™️

he’d walk in all happy ready to tell you about whatever the hell happened during his stream

see you yelling at the tv

and slowly back away

he lets you be loud — he doesn’t really care

he’s a little scared and a lot of concerned

I feel like he’d also video tape it just so he can laugh at it later

loves loves loves seeing you get so into the game despite not even playing it

^ also I think at first he wouldn’t really be into whatever sport you’re watching

but after awhile it grows on him — so expect him to get hyped and angry with you

Big Boy’s Toys 25 December 2021 The Norman Timbs Special

The Norman Timbs Special is a homebuilt Sport Custom built by Norman Timbs over a span of three years. Norman's streamlined custom was supposed to be a prototype for a limited series of cars reflecting advanced concepts in performance and aesthetics. Being an automotive engineer working with Preston Tucker on his Tucker Automobiles and on several Indy cars, Norman made comprehensive chassis drawings that led to 1/4 scale clay models of several body ideas. The models led to a wooden model incorporating the favored elements. Norman handmade an aluminum body for the car by forming panels on the wooden pattern. The panels were then welded together. The chassis was made of welded aircraft tubing. The car was 17 1/2 feet long with a 117 inch wheelbase, 56-inch thread, and a weight of 2 500 pounds. It was powered by a 1948 Buick Straight 8 engine located just behind the driver's seat. Steering, brakes and other equipment were standard Mercury. The rear body on the car was hinged to raise hydraulically for access to the engine compartment, fuel tank and spare tire. The fuel tank was placed between the wheels. The front hood covered a luggage compartment. In the rear, taillights from a 1939 Ford were installed. Without the windshield the car stood 39 inches tall. Total height with the windshield was 47 inches Total cost of the build was $10,000 according to Mechanix Illustrated September 1949. Once completed, Norman's Buick Special was featured on the cover of Motor Trend October 1949, the second issue of Motor Trend.

In 1954 the Norman's Buick Special was featured in Motor Life February 1954. By then the car had been painted white. it was currently owned by Air Force Officer Jim Davis of Manhattan Beach, California. The article stated that the car was the brain-child of former aircraft manufacturer Larry Timm. According to the story Larry designed and built the car over a three year period ending in 1948. Davis bought the car in 1952 and was, according to the story, the first person to have the car registered for road use. Norman's Buick Special was featured in an episode of Buck Rogers.

For several years the car was parked away in the hot California desert. In 2000 it was featured briefly in the Nicholas Cage movie Gone in 60 Seconds. 2 years later, In 2002 it was auctioned away by Barret Jackson at the Petersen Museum Classic Car Auction. The sales price was $17,600.00 USD. Collector Gary Cerveny was the lucky bidder. Gary began to restore the car himself, before he decided to hand it over to Custom Auto of Loveland, Colorado, and let them complete it. Before Gary handed the car over to Custom Auto he repaired the wheel wells, grille opening and drive train. The car was about 90% original when Gary acquired the car. The body halves had been bolted together, and access holes had been cut in for the rear wheels and the engine bay. In March of 2012 the restored version of the car made its debut at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance in Florida. At the show it won "The RM Auctions Trophy For the Best Open Car". Later on in 2010 Norman Timbs' Buick Special was hand picked to be part of the prestigious Customs Then and Now exhibit at the 2011 Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, California, an elite gathering of the most historically significant customs in the world. In August of 2012 the car will also be competing in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the world's premier celebration of the automobile. In 1997 the Pebble Beach Hot Rod Class was started. The Hot Rod Class has been featuring roadsters, coupes and pre-war customs in the past. The 2012 Hot Rod Class will be dedicated to Sport Customs and one offs such as the Arthur Bentas' Raven, the 1950 Saturn, the 1947 Kurtis Omohundro, the Maverick sportster, the Coachcraft Special and Vince Gardner's 1947 Studebaker.

Hello :) Do you like to use a lot of smiley faces online? >> Not a lot, but I do use some.

Which instant messaging service do you use, if any? >> Discord. Tumblr also has an IM feature, but it’s not very good IMO. I hate that tiny little window.

What are your opinions on Justin Bieber? >> I don’t have any opinions on him. He rarely crosses my radar.

On December 21st 2012, if the world starts to go down, what will you do? >> I don’t remember what I was doing. I was in Colorado at that time, and that’s really all I remember.

Do you Facebook creep / Myspace stalk? >> No.

Is there anyone famous born on your birthday? Who? >> Most certainly, but I don’t know who.

What was the last present you bought for someone? >> I bought a couple of small things at Vault of Midnight (a comics/games store) that I thought would be good as stocking stuffers. I have a hard time with stocking stuffers so I figured I’d start early and collect things over time.

Jocks And Finance Bros: Bachelorette First Impressions

Becca, I hope you like jocks and finance bros. 

If not, you’re shit out of luck.

Becca dates one athlete and they beat that one dating preference of her’s to death by casting 18 or so former athletes. Kind of like how they beat “Let’s Do The Damn Thing” tagline to death.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am.

A letter to the men on this season of The Bachelorette:

Do you think you deserve this goddess of a woman, Becca Kufrin? You probably don’t. You probably think too highly of yourself to know this.

Maybe two of you will be good enough for her. Five of you may turn out to be decent people, but that’s me being generous. If it’s anything like JoJo’s season, we will have just one or two decent men. ABC producers, please don’t let me down. Oh wait, you already did with the super-short bios. 

This season we have 25 28 men vying for Becca’s heart, or at least a blue checkmark on their Instagram page. At least one of you will get fake engaged on Paradise and six of you will move from middle-of-nowhere USA to Los Angeles and move back home within a year. I’m not sure which guys will do that yet, but it’s always fun to guess!

Anyway, good luck with your 15 minutes of fame!

Signed,

The Bachelor Diaries.

WTF: No Q&A?

ABC did not include the usual Q&A in this year’s cast bios. I’m so offended. How will I truly understand these men if I don’t know what kind of fruit they’d be or what kind of superpower they’d want?

I would boycott this season because of this, but I have literally nothing better to do on Monday nights, or any night for that matter. I’m still going to try my best to roast these men, of course. It shouldn’t be that hard.

Despite no Q&A’s, I will still form my own opinions on these guys. I, like Kanye West, am a free thinker. Go poopidy-scoop yourself, ABC.

Ok, now let’s get to know these men:

Alex, 31, Construction Manager

Alex is the male equivalent of the basic white girl. He likes country music, his dog, the beach and skiing. He probably has “Let’s go on a hike together!” on his Bumble profile and regularly wears a Patagonia dad hat.

Blake, 28, Sales Rep

We already met horse boy Blake on After The Final Rose. He either played baseball or football in college. Thanks for being so concise, ABC. However, he looks like a baseball player to me. While originally from a small town in Colorado, he definitley lives in LA now. He also believes “two people need to be independent in order to truly love each other” so I think that means he’s into open relationships and or will cheat on you.

Chase, 27, Advertising VP

Chase, unlike Blake, was definitley a college baseball player who was apparently good enough to be in the College Wold Series but evidently not good enough to go pro— at least longterm. We also met Chase on ATFR and I don’t remember much about him. He likes “adventure” and the “outdoors” so he’s quite the special snowflake.

Chris, 30, Sales Trainer

What even is a sales trainer? Chris hopes to retire by 40. In this economy? Good luck with that. He is passionate about “fitness” and “health” which is so unique and different. I feel like I really got to know him through that piece of information.

Christian, 28, Banker

Christian is a former semi-pro soccer player who moved to the US from Mexico when he was three. I feel like his picture makes him look like he has a little head, but other than that he seems alright.

Christon, 31, Former Harlem Globetrotter/ Professional Dunker

I spent a good 30 seconds wondering why two guys with the same name didn’t have their last name initials included in their bios. It took another 30 seconds to notice that Christon was spelled differently than Christian. So this dude is a professional dunker in LA. My first thought is that he’d have a pretty good intro video package for The Bachelorette. Anyone want to put money down that he gets one?

Clay, 30, Pro Football Player

Clay was on his way to the poetry slam but somehow got lost and ended up on the Bachelorette. He allegedly doesn’t curse but is a fan of hip-hop music. I think he is the “famous” football player who was in talks to be on this season. Apparently I should care. Never heard of him. 

Colton, 26, Former Pro Football Player

“Hi, my name is Colt and welcome to my Youtube Channel!” That’s the vibe I’m getting from this picture. I’m also getting Blake Griffin vibes. He just looks strangely tan here. Colton may have a job at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I’m curious to know if he has a story as to WHY he is involved with CF. He also lives in Denver and has a dog named Sniper, which is awkward because the neighboring city of Boulder just banned assault weapons.

EDIT: He was the guy who asked out Aly Raisman via public video and they briefly dated. I shipped them so hard. I AM SHOOKETH.

Connor, 25, Fitness Coach

I feel like I’m going to be sick if I hear one more guy talk about how they were “almost” a professional athlete and how much they lo0o0o0ove working out. I’m sadly only at the beginning of this cast list. Someone pray for me. And someone pray that Connor’s eyebrows grow back after that terrible wax job.

Darius, 26, Pharmaceutical Sales Rep

Darius works for big pharma yet claims to be dedicating his life to helping others. Err, okay. He likes to dance and travels a lot so my guess is he’s probably not ready to settle down at age 26 despite his 36-year-old hairline.

David, 25, Venture Capitalist

David looks like every finance bro who lives in West Village and only dates 22-year-old Instagram models. The only difference is that he lives in Denver instead of Manhattan, which by society’s standards makes him more wholesome. He also loves guacamole, but dislikes avocado, which roughly translates to: I don’t cook and eat Chipotle for dinner every night.

Grant, 27, Electrician

The only way Grant is making it past night one is if he shows up fully dressed as a member of the Village People or as Bob The Builder. If not, he has no chance.

Garrett, 29, Medical Sales Rep

Pro tip to ABC: The letter A comes before the letter R in the alphabet. These names are out of order. 

Anyway, Garret reminds me of Ben Afleck in that his face just makes me want to punch him..in the face. Besides the fact that he also works for big pharma, he actually has outdoor hobbies besides “I enjoy fresh air and walking in the woods” like fly fishing and showshoeing. I’m hoping he isn’t a giant jerk because I kind of like him.

Jake, 29, Marketing Consultant

I thought his name was “Joke” at first because I am a terrible person. I think Joke...I mean Jake...is from the same city as Becca. (I’m assuming Minnesota only has one city) I feel like all hot people in cities have this inner-circle where they know of each other, so maybe they’ve crossed paths before.

Jason, 29, Sr. Corporate Banker

Andrew Keegan? I love your work. “Jason” likes sports and singing along to Disney movies. He contains multitudes. 

Jean Blanc, 31, Colognoisseur

I love that ABC took a smart, educated, immigrant with a successful job and gave him a fake occupation on television. Jean Blanc is a cologne connoisseur. I feel like he would smell good. 10/10 would smell him.

Joe, 31, Grocery Store Owner

I feel like a lot of these bios are the equivalent to what it’s like to drive in an Uber. The driver is always explaining to you how successful they are and where they traveled as a way to prove they aren’t some loser driving you around. Joe’s bio screams “Yeah I own a grocery store but also worked in finance before I burnt myself out, so don’t judge me.” Nobody was judging you, but now I am.

John, 28, Software Engineer

John hopes to be the first Asian male to make it out of night one on The Bachelorette. I can already tell he’s better than most of these guys: he works at a start-up in Silicon Valley, likes wine, plays guitar and bakes banana bread. He deserves a rose, dammit!

Jordan, 26, Male Model

Robert Mills, who is like an important ABC guy or something, called Jordan the “greatest Bachelorette contestant of all time.” Clearly he’s trying to make us forget about Chad. Good luck with that, Robert. Definitley not happening.

So Jordan is probably this season’s villain. Whatever, I don’t care. I DO care, however, that his bio is bragging about a mediocre 4:24 mile time and “sprinting to the finish line.” The time was written as “4.24″ by ABC and a comma is also missing from that sentence. ABC, let me know if you want to hire me as an editor. Back to the mile comment: A mile is an endurance mid-distance race. Nobody is technically sprinting in it, unless it’s a tactical race. Puns don’t work if they’re factually incorrect. 

Kamil, 30, Social Media Participant

Kamil works in real estate and is a part-time model, but ABC decided to call him a “social media participant.” He’s originally from Poland but lives in Upstate New York, which is evident based on the fact he’s wearing a denim button-up shirt.

Leo, 31, Stuntman

It’s crazy how fast Alex Bordy grew his hair in a year. “Not Alex Bordy” is a stuntman in LA, which I heard is a pretty sick job. I am personally a fan of his hair. He knows how to tame those curls and probably rocks a great man bun. I would love to know what products he uses.

Lincoln, 26, Account Executive

Lincoln has a lot of things going on in his bio. He moved to Boston from Nigeria as a teenager, went to college in Kentucky and moved to Santa Monica for work. We met him on ATFR and he was super nervous, cute and had an accent to make most girls swoon. I’d say make him The Bachelor but 26 is too young in my opinion.

Mike, 27, Sports Analyst

How come every Ohio sports fan names their dog Riggins? Based on his hair, I’m assuming Mike is a radio sports analyst. That hair on television? No thank you. Hopefully Leo can give him some tips to make his hair look decent. Did you know: Becca’s psycho ex Ross used to have long hair? It was not cute. But I don’t think Becca is going to send the long-haired guys home immediately a la the notoriously shallow Andi Dorfman.

Nick, 27, Attorney

I’m excited for Nick to be on the show because I know him by association. Let me explain: A friend of mine went to school with one of his friends and periodically stalks her social media. The friend is a girl, so I think he’s friends with mostly girls, which may explain why he loves to “brunch.” He looks terrible in this photo. Nick gives me polished, sexually ambiguous vibes based on how he appears on Insta. I also knew he was going to be on the show before R*ality St*ve, which made me feel powerful. It was a rush.

Rickey, 27, IT Consultant

I know of Rickey too. He was a Bodybuilding.com Spokesmodel Search finalist in 2017. Hashtag #rightreasons. I’m not sure how “online personal trainer” translates to IT consultant, but ok. Side note: I don’t think bodybuilders look good in suits so he might go home night one. 

Ryan, 26, Banjoist

Before the “Yanny or Laurel” debate there was the “Ryan or Brian” debate on After The Final Rose. Evidently the answer is Ryan. He’s the new Wells and I could not be more excited to watch this babe on my television screen. He plays at least four instruments and loves to sail. He also screams “family money” but it’s ok, we can mooch off his parents together.

Trent, 28, Realtor

Can you imagine having a child and naming it Trent? This guy never had a chance. He is a realtor and a part-time model (I swear I wrote the same thing a few contestants up) and has appeared on covers of romance novels, but I certainly wouldn’t call him the next Fabio.

Wills, 29, Graphic Designer

Wills is a graphic designer who loves Harry Potter. I see no problem here. Except for maybe his porno-stache.

Prediction corner: 

Welcome to the prediction corner where I never get anything right. Oh, you know what happens because you read spoilers? Please keep that information to yourself. I like to find out what happens on my own.

Without further ado, here are my baseless predictions:

First Impression Rose: The guys who got the First Impression Rose on the last three seasons became engaged to The Bachelorette. If that happens this year I demand a scientific case study to explain the power of first impressions on women. Anyway, I think Ryan gets it.

Season Villain: Jordan (that was easy)

Next Bachelor: Blake (don’t ask me why)

Winner: Garrett (I like him)

Comment below to let me know your early favorites!

New Year, New Hotels: 60 Exciting Hotel Openings Around The World This Winter

The Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club opens in January.

The hospitality industry has been through its ups and downs this year, but that’s not stopping dozens of new hotels and resorts that are preparing to open this winter.

Despite uneven demand and the added expense of Covid-19 preparedness protocols, hoteliers are stepping up to the challenge. Domestic openings are plentiful, but international properties are sprouting up just as quickly as travel bubbles (and corridors between countries) become the talk of potential recovery. Island and resort destinations, in particular, are seeing growth, especially in parts of Asia, Mexico, the Caribbean, and parts of the U.S.

Opening their doors in preparation for a brighter 2021 ahead, these are some of the newest December, January, and February hotel and resort openings around the world.
