  1. To be fair, I'd be thrilled if we drafted someone who steals the job from him (and I'm not sure it would be terribly difficult.) I'm just saying that kind of financial commitment seems to indicate they think he's the guy this year.
  2. I'd be floored if we gave Cam Robinson $12m to sit the bench.
  3. Can't get over the emojis. They're texting about war like me and my buddies text during a Longhorn football game.
  4. The adults in charge are absolutely killing it, @realgreggym. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/ The world found out shortly before 2 p.m. eastern time on March 15 that the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen. I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.
  5. Oh this movie is very clearly terrible. I was just curious why some folks seem so happy at this being the case. No matter, I'm sure I'll still be dragged to see it.
  6. The internet watching this episode unfold:
  7. So I haven't really followed the backstory, but it sure seems like the failure of this film is being very vocally celebrated by a certain... segment of the population. Without getting too CR, why did this movie become a right-wing target?
  8. Haven’t seen what they are saying, but tbh I suspect it is the appropriate level of freak out given what we all just watched.
  9. For 8 out of 9 seasons at the end of his Texas tenure, we did not advance past the first weekend of the tournament. Not gonna go season by season analysis, but this either means 1) we were upset by a lesser seed or 2) we had a seed reflective of a team not in the top 20 in the country. “He’s a good basketball coach who raised the floor of the program” and “he had a string of completely unacceptable seasons that led to a justified firing” are not mutually exclusive, although to be fair, it is a more nuanced take than one generally expects at 2am on a message board.
  10. The one guy who SHOULD have been in the towers that day...
  11. All objectively true, but man does he have a punchable face.
  12. I really hope I'm wrong but there are a lot of "uh, this team might not be very good" sirens coming from Spring Training.
  13. username doesn't check out
  14. The most incompetent medical staff in all of professional sports.
  15. They basically added a year on his contract at what he is making now and then gave him a big raise for this upcoming season. Rewards him for his year last year but doesn't cripple us in the future when we add another big extension or two to the books. Smart, smart move.
  16. I appreciate Altuve willing to do whatever is needed for the team, but this idea is quickly accelerating into "everyone involved needs to be fired" territory.
  17. Heard someone complaining about Whataburger in the real world today and it made me realize: If you were to make a venn diagram of "people who will defend capitalism until their dying breath" and "people who complain the loudest about things being worse than they used to be" it would be a single circle, without any hint of irony.
  18. How brave of him.
  19. "This is consent. Do you do that here? We just started." might be my favorite line in three seasons.
  20. He looks exactly as you would expect with that bio.
  21. Yes, before the internet people would say stupid shit like "Hitler didn't murder millions of people, public workers did" and they would be laughed at and either 1) forced to realize that they are wrong and their innate desire to be a part of a community would take over and lead to a reevaluation of their beliefs or 2) exiled into a life as that weird hermit guy down the street. Now they can put that shit on the internet and immediately find a community of similarly insane people who agree. No matter what you say or do, there's never a need to self-reflect when you can immediately find a new circle of people (or bots) who agree with you. Eventually this group got big enough to hijack a political party whose only concrete belief is "lib tears."
  22. This exact realization was what hit me, and I suspect many on this board, like a ton of bricks the morning after the election. THIS is who we are.
  23. That Walters douche is probably a top 5 most dangerous Trump villain, which is no small feat.
