It's just ok.  The first part is fun because it gets into how the show was a big hit, and had interviews/updates with a number of the former Gladiators.  The second part is pretty boring, as they mainly focus on trying to find and interview one of the guys who should have been given a co-creator credit and a lot of $ from the show, but he didn't because the other co-creator screwed him over. 

The thing about local moves is how cheap and quickly it can be done by hiring movers.  I have moved houses twice since moving back to Denver in 2008.  I hired the same moving company both times.  They were able to move nearly everything for 4 people living in a 3-bedroom house in a matter of a few hours.  Plus, we didn't have to worry about harming our furniture, scratching our walls, or breaking our backs.  I don't really have any friends, so I couldn't ruin any friendships, anyway.

This isn’t directed at the OP, just a general thought.  Paying for movers is something anyone over the age of 25 should do every time. Your friends don’t want to help you out, so stop asking them. It’s not fun, not matter how much pizza and beer you offer them. Professional movers get it done way more efficiently and safely, and people should price it into the cost of buying or renting a new place. 

A lot of NU fans did last night

@admo  I don’t know a lot of details around the recruitment of Flores. I heard on either 1620 or the OWH podcast this week that Flores camped at NU during the summer between his 9th and 10th grade. He didn’t impress Frost enough to get an offer then, and then Frost slowplayed Flores after that.  So then Frost watched multiple Power 5 schools offer Flores and then Flores led Gretna to the Class A State Championship as a junior (it was later vacated to using an ineligible transfer). Everyone who has seen Flores says he’s the best QB prospect to come through Nebraska in a long time, and Frost and Verduzco didn’t think he was good enough. 

Flores is going to Oklahoma State. Supposedly Frost didn’t like how Flores threw as a 10th grader, so Frost didn’t offer him until late in the process. It was a terrible miss. 

At least Mickey realizes there is value in offering stud kickers (especially from Omaha) full scholarships.

Someone needs to get Frost liquored up and ask him what he didn’t see in Flores to not give him an offer. What a terrible assessment. 

The Fab Five was great in their own minds.  They never won a thing.  Go Heels!

You just go around with your balls hanging out all day?

I remember Keith Neubert who played 4 years of basketball at NU in the late 80s, before having a bit of a career in the NFL.  I couldn't remember if he played any football at NU, but it turns out he played 1 year with the football team.

Grundy said the offending word multiple times. This is not a simple slip of the tongue. This is pure stupidity. 

@LoebarthI agree with @The Dude your saying of "making my blood boil" is universally thought of as being infuriated.  Also, I don't know how long it has been since you have played football, but seeing an online video of football practice and you getting so worked up that you would "run through a wall for the coach" is a bit odd.

Foo Fighters have canceled their summer tour.  Bummer.

@Danny Batemangreat comments about Dave and Taylor. I think they had a very close relationship. 
 

It might be a good time to re-watch the Foo Fighters documentary which was done a few years ago. 

It had to be hard for Hawkins to be the drummer in the band when the front man is known as one of the better drummers in the world. Dave Grohl recorded the first Foo Fighters album all by himself, with him recording all the instruments and vocal.

Then Grohl filled out the band when the album took off and he wanted to tour behind it. According to Grohl, Hawkins was a much better technical drummer than Grohl ever was, and that's what made Hawkins such a perfect fit with Foo Fighters. 

Totally sucks

I loved the way Fiddler played when Bell West and Millard North played for the State Championship last year.  Big time talent all over the court and Fiddler was scoring buckets.

Plus the fun thing with asparagus is making your pee smell funny for the next few hours.

I used to hate guacamole when I was younger, and I think that's because a lot of fast food places or Midwesterners will add sour cream to guacamole, and sour cream is the worst.  I was in my late 20s when someone made fresh guacamole with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers and I loved it!!!  I'm a huge fan of avocados and guacamole now.

I also didn't like tomatoes for most of my life, but now will add a tomato slice or 2 to sandwiches, burgers, etc.

Can't wait for the posts on who deserved more blame, Beck for not recruiting him in high school or Frost for not considering him as a transfer. Good times!!!

I hate to be the spelling police but it's Zac without an h. I just get annoyed easily. 

@VectorVictor NU would only play Texas in the NCAA tournament and the occasional non-conference match.  It's not like Larsen is getting her start with a conference rival, which even then wouldn't be a big deal.

Settle down dude.  Sometimes you take a job wherever you can get it.  Regardless of what we feel towards Texas, they are a great program and it's a great opportunity for Jordan.

@JJ Husker I live 10 miles east of where the fires were on Thursday, so we weren't in any danger, thankfully. My family was at the Flatirons Mall in that area when they started evacuating the area. My son's baseball club is also based out of Superior so we are in that area quite a bit,  It's heartbreaking to see the number of homes just completely leveled by the fires.
