lolol wtaf Amazon

The British television program “Whitechapel” and “Crimson Tide” stating Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman are listed as Historical Documentaries

MORE HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARIES: To The Ends Of The Earth, i guess a real-life story of some stuff Benedict Comberbatch is up to. also: The Alamo, not the “good” one with John Wayne but the more modern one which must be a found footage film?

Noted “Historical Documentaries” Patton (1970) for which Gen. George S. Patton won the Academy Award for “most realistic portrayal of himself”

Also: Aces High

and Ken Burns’ The American Revolution is also listed so presumably one (1) person at Amazon knows what a documentary’ is

doubt anyone who follows me doesn’t understand how massive a role @fbref.com (and @baseball-reference.com ) played in my life but there is no other source I have cited more frequently across the decade+ that I regularly wrote about fantasy sports.

At Sports Reference we have taken great pride in the role FBref has played over the last seven years as an expansive source for soccer fans all over the world. Unfortunately, last week the provider of our advanced soccer data sent us a letter terminating our access to their data feeds and requiring the deletion of their data from the site immediately. As a result, we have removed the provider's data from FBref and Stathead in compliance with their demand.

The data provider has asserted that our use of the data violated our agreement. Their demand came unexpectedly despite our long-standing and good-faith operation of FBref and Stathead. We have operated the sites in a consistent manner from their creation (well before the signing of this agreement) through today, and we have always welcomed open and frank discussions about how the sites operate.

Any effort to retain access to this advanced data would have been costly and uncertain. Under the circumstances, we have decided to comply with the termination notice.

This creates a significant gap in the stats offered on FBref and Stathead. We are heartbroken both for our users who have come to rely upon this product and for our team that has spent thousands of hours bringing these stats to life and supporting our users. We are especially upset by the massive step back this creates in access for women's advanced soccer data. Data Democratization is a core Sports Reference value and the removal of this data is a sad day for all of us.

We will take time to assess possible paths forward. FBref will continue to present the deep historic basic data we have for over one hundred competitions, but if we present advanced data in the future it will certainly have a dramatically smaller scale.

Is AI good yet? Like as good as Tottenham legend Tim Duncan?

Google “Tottenhams best player”
AI Overview “The "best" player for the San Antonio Spurs depends on if you mean all-time or currently, but Tim Duncan is widely considered the greatest ever, leading the franchise in points and championships, while Victor Wembanyama is the current franchise cornerstone and future superstar, leading the team in scoring and blocks this season (2025-26).”

Paymer (1999) Upon surviving from being left for dead after a heist, David Emmanuel Paymer, noted character actor and television director, apparently seeks revenge on his wife and crime partner who conspired to shoot him. Presumably with bullets and not a camera.
