Mass Shootings
Arguing the wording or phrasing is purposeless. In Heller, Scalia said, “[It is] not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.” The words in the USC mean what a majority of the nine say it means. They will torture the phrasing as they please and find persuasive whatever fact/anecdote/lie/gibberish gets them the result they like. This bickering is pointless. Power is all that matters, and those with power think their hobby, manufacturers stock price and/or gun lobby campaign donations are more important than human lives, let alone predicate phrases or antiquated syntax.

maga vs the swifties (taylor's version)
I don't have time to deep dive twitter accounts, so it's unclear to me that this is not the real Nick Adams. I've had the displeasure of hearing Mr. Alpha Male speak in person on more than one occassion (don't ask), and based on my memory of those speeches, that twitter account posts exactly the kind of idiotic drivel he would say and which his infinitely gullible audience eats up. His victims undoubtedly believe TS to be a money-grubbing whore.

Why won't Nikki Haley be the first female POTUS?
Their jokes are facsimiles of copies of summaries of faint rememberances of tired tropes. Everytime I hear one of their jokes I think of Robert Wuhl's character in Good Morning, Vietnam (although it could be any of his characters, really).

Nick Saban Retirement + Alabama Corch Search Megathread - Deals with Satan Do Expire
I'm with you. If Byrne is smart and feels secure, he should just delete Dabo from any list he has. I understand that it might become the safe play. Dabo failing would likely not haunt Byrne or result in his firing. But Dabo will fail, and there are a dozen guys out there that a real search would reveal that would not fail (meaning they would keep Bama in the playoffs on a yearly basis and at least win a couple SEC titles). I have no clue if Byrne is smart and/or feels secure. But I'm glad it's not Castiglione or CDC in that job. Either of them would take their swings at the DeBoer/Lanning/Norvell/Sark tier and then move to find the best fit amongst the non-splash names who can really coach.

Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"

This past weekend I learned
Mine is that the right-leaning folks who don't engage on substance, but instead bitch about sources, or cannot admit even self-evident facts are true hold their political views almost entirely based on emotion. They may even think they have rational reasons for their beliefs, but, when I've heard them try to lay it out, it almost always derives from their feels. I think it's why so many of them resort to trolling. They're broken inside, and need the dopamine hit from triggering their enemy. Now, don't take me saying "they're broken" as me judging them. To some extent, we're all broken inside. Most of us just cope with it in ways other than advocating that the government make other people's lives harder and in doing so becoming a tool for billionaires to amass greater weath. For that, I judge them.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
He was on fire because we played passively. When we attacked this year and tonight, good things happened. Penix was going to beat us on great throws. He made a few of them. We didn’t really make him have to much because of the plan we rolled with until the 4th q.

CFP Semifinal: Texas vs Washington - 7:45pm on ESPN
I’m only really mad at the defensive game plan. Penix was going to get 300+ no matter what. We needed to play aggressive for 4 quarters and not expect a 4 man rush to get anywhere near the QB against an OL that gave up 11 sacks all year. Just an atrocious game plan that, when we ditched it because we had to be aggressive, unsurprisingly good things started happening. i don’t know how PK could have coached this team through the UH, KSU and TCU games and still run that plan out there. When we were passive this year we failed. We were mostly passive for 3 quarters tonight.

Abbott being Abbott
They won't need to be too creative, really. Scalia wrote this in his dissent to Arizona v. United States: "As a sovereign, Arizona has the inherent power to exclude persons from its territory, subject only to those limitations expressed in the Constitution or constitutionally imposed by Congress. That power to exclude has long been recognized as inherent in sovereignty." 5 or 6 (will Roberts flip?) on the court will just go with this reasoning this time around (though Thomas and Alito will likely write concurrences, given the different path they took in their dissent last time). Next up Abbot will call for the creation of a special division of DPS whose sole mandate is to hunt down undocumented workers. They will, of course, become the best funded agency in the state, because shit in the Chryons on Fox News or OAN are the real problems government is meant to tackle.

2024 Transfer Thread - The Pedantic Circlejerk
Got to give credit to Andre Ware for being completely unafraid of being wrong and then absolutely unwilling to learn from his mistakes. If there's a replay in a Texans game, he routinely predicts the wrong outcome. Basically his color commentary is like looking at a photo negative.

Florida State can fuck off
Iowa tonight. 0 points, 155 yards. 3 TOs. More penalty yards (46) than rushing (35).

THE College Football Playoff Rankings Thread [MICH,WASH,TEX,ALA]
I’d love to avoid a rematch. Saban still has his fastball and somehow having FSU luck into a title game against us would greatly please me. I think Bama would beat either UM or Wash.

Lot of ACC on the committee member resumes, inuring the chair. I don’t think this is the year an undefeated ACC champ gets left out.

The SEC will be represented. Stop lying to yourselves. Right now, Wash, Bama and Mich (100 out of 100 times Mich wins this game) are in.
