  1. Sweet. Screenshots or this feature are huge for me because Twitter is blocked by my work. Which, let's be honest here, that's where a lot of my browsing happens.
  2. Pretty obvious that the serious candidates noped the fuck out after talking with Jerry and Stephen so they were just like fuck it, this guy is fine.
  3. I have zero expectations for this coaching hire. Less than zero, in fact. My interest in the Cowboys is at an all time low point in my entire life thus far. Yet somehow, against all odds, Jerry has achieved the impossible and still managed to underwhelm me with this Schottenheimer business. It simply can't possibly be real. My brain cannot comprehend it. The only thing that makes any goddamn sense whatsoever is that it's a smokescreen for hiring Kellen Moore.
  4. Just took a quick glance, but it looks like the highest paid NFL WRs top out at about 11-12% of the total salary cap. So 16.7% of what is certainly a top 2 or 3 NIL budget in the entire sport is too much. Gotta be just a negotiating figure from Smith's camp.
  5. I think we as a group were speculating on this - possibly in this thread, can't remember - a few weeks ago. The model going forward for the big programs may be everyone getting on the same page at the same time for a big run, then dialing it back afterwards to regroup. It'll be really hard to sustain $20-$30mm rosters year in and year out unless you have an Uncle Phil who has fuck you money and just doesn't care. And even then, Uncle Phil isn't immortal. What will be interesting is how this it plays out with coaches. Will programs be patient with a previously successful head coach if some lean years are coming up? Or conversely, will successful coaches stick around if the resources are going to dry up for a while or will they try to job hop in that situation?
  6. I fucking love Wikipedia. I honestly believe that it's an example of humanity at its best. It's a throwback to a long-gone era of the internet that had so much promise. Maybe one of the last throwbacks. I've been terrified for a while now of the day that it became a political target. In my heart I always knew it was just a matter of time, because literally everything must be politicized now. I know that people have tried before, but those people generally weren't the richest person on Earth, with a direct line to the president of the United States. I fear that this is the beginning of the end for Wikipedia. Can't say how sad that makes me.
  7. White folks have made it all the way through the alphabet with _aden names. Next up, αaden.
  8. What this thread has been missing is two pages of pointless Monday morning quarterbacking about a guy that we liked but didn't love having a couple good games.
  9. Yeah, my kid has dabbled in the periphery of the junior gymnastics scene here in Houston and I was surprised at how serious and organized it all is. But there's nowhere for the kids to go. They all want to go to OU.
