    While I don't fully understand what happened in the video (is that rugby or Aussie rules football?), it seemed to be a good play.

    Is Betts an actual superstar (like Michael Jordan in basketball) or is he like Alex Caurso (in the video I posted), where he looks like a casual player who wandered into the game, then does something extraordinary?

    Australian rules. Betts is an aboriginal Australian and tends to do this kind of thing as a matter of course. He actually misses the easy ones, then does this kind of unbelievable stuff. I swear he hides a wand in his shorts - Muggles CAN'T do that.

    Yeah, you get players like that.

    Two subtle (but relevant) details from the Alex Caruso video:

    1) On the very next offensive play for the other team, Caruso gets burned badly defensively by the man he is guarding

    2) For all of the hoopla about Caruso's dunk, his score brought the Lakers to only losing by 16 points (which is a lot in basketball)

    No, this was inspired by Laker player Alex Caruso (the subject of the video). But if Jane S. qualifies, good for her...

    I both agree and disagree with your answer.

    I agree that Turtle McConnell is an almost Dr. Evil-like political force (I recently saw a video clip of him, I think on Sean Hannity's show, cackling like The Evil Doctor himself) and his influence can only be contained.

    I disagree that he is a gift to Democrats. McConnell's evil genius is that he uses his Powers of Evil in subtle ways which do not produce significant political backlash. Political junkies get pissed off that Merrick Garland is not a Supreme Court justice. The average voter has no idea who Garland is or how McConnell f***d him over.

    This IS the correct answer.  A song was written about me.

    I'm not sure even containment is possible in this case....
