  1. "Kevin Durant" is trending.
  2. imagine the sort of batshit woman that stays with a dude going around enlisting 66 women to massage his taint (and has admitted to sexual contact with more than a few of them).... I'm sure it's a true love situation
  3. I think the actor is doing quite well in this role, especially given that he is supposed to be coming out of a downward spiral. His accent coming and going fits in with what happens with people who are not just bilingual but learned the language at home/with family. I (and the rest of the family) have accents that come out when around close friends/family, and disappear in other settings. Even when speaking English in both scenarios. Don't even think about it, just happens.
  4. I don't know why, but "supreme mango" is one of the funniest terms I've heard in a while
  5. It's remarkable that Golden State is in this position again. As recently as 3 years ago, people were openly wondering if the team was done and a drastic rebuild was necessary. Their second best player isn't back to form yet, and might frankly never be the player he was. The best player is not young by any stretch anymore and had to carry the load against the best defense in the league. I understand Poole and Wiggins have helped mightily, but neither one has really supplanted any of the core 3 yet as player you expect the team to rely on as talisman or emotional anchor. A lot of it has to do with Steph Curry and his underrated manner of leadership, but just as it was calmly accepted that they might be done, it's just as striking that they are back here, and it isn't all that surprising. Very New England Patriot-ish in terms of organizational success. Pulling for Udoka's personal success, but either outcome is an admirable one.
  6. there should be "bad plastic surgery" prenups as a matter of law. but I'm guessing surgery didn't cause her voice to get that way and he jumped into bed with that anyways...

    that was worse than the penis scene

    The Boys

    just starting the new season, and again how has Antony Starr not been recognized for what he is doing as Homelander
  9. well, speaking of Tehran, wow. you could see it coming, but still devastating to watch.....
  10. have to believe you offer that sort of contract with the willingness to accept a 1-year suspension. the question is can you separate the playing penalty from the the financial one 66 different massage therapists in 17 months. is there any functioning adult that would see someone doing this and not think, "this shit ain't right"
  11. JC! Ari Fleischer?? some people will spread their cheeks if the pay is big enough....
  12. Germany already kinda did their washing already. You have billionaires there who are literally a parent or grandparent removed from being intimately involved with, and direct profiteers of, the Nazis.
  13. I think you have to look at it on a global level. It's not money laundering, but it helps to think of it as trying to diversify their portfolio in a huge way. We've seen this with soccer (anyone care to guess which NFL team will be owned by a Saudi/UAE/etc backed group in the next 20 years?). People will bitch and complain about money from that part of the world, but they have proven that they are willing to pay exorbitantly and in the end, that does buy a measure of success. They are doing this across multiple platforms/industries. I would say going to streaming services if the traditional ones lock you out is smart. Can renegotiate later
  14. it's a question of how much cash the Saudis are willing to burn. if they are persistent, they will succeed. like every other thing regarding money these days
  15. well, yeah. of course this isn't to replace or come close to the AD position, but that doesn't make it any less significant of a move. I also don't think they happened on the job title by mistake. if you are a recruit or the parent of a recruit, it can only reinforce the idea that this is a school well aligned with your professional goals. as to the roster, I would say that at every campus, this person will have quite a bit of influence on that, if indirect. gotta get them (and keep them) on campus in the first place. lastly, I think it also gives the coaches some distance from talking or being questioned about NIL, which I can only believe they want. Imagine if Fisher had someone like this to immediately point to or direct questions to when the Saban/Fisher saga occurred...
  16. Put this here because it has more to do with the new recruiting/NIL landscape than anything. But here we are, GMs for universities.
  17. If you are committed to staying APS-C, this would be the week for you. New camera and lens offerings from Fuji and new lens offerings from Sony. Still think if that's the format you want to stay in, Fuji is the best, but they are a pricey option for sure.

    Top Gun 2

    It was a great way to pass the time and get your mind off more serious issues. Tom Cruise understands the assignment. As for the nitpicking above, you know with his attention to detail and the consultants for the movie, I'm certain Tom Cruise knows what real military protocol would be but doesn't die on some lonely mountain trying to make sure everything 100% checks out. The 50+ year old Captain was probably a dead giveaway... or the Admiral going down to the beach to go find his pilots.. Oh, there isn't any other actress who plays flirtatious better than Jennifer Connelly. Does the same thing in Blood Diamond, and looks almost the same here.
  19. Tehran is really enjoyable this season
  20. Good Luck. It's a tough one to deal with. If you need resources, let me know, but in this day and age I think you'll be well set where you are.
  21. people will bitch about the inaccuracy of the media and gladly speculate and create theories out of thin air. how about just waiting until the info comes out before dissecting who did what and when..
  22. Great results. I would shoot more if I ever got around to developing and scanning at home
