  1. Man C7 looked so fucking cool, and then…
  2. One thing that's interesting to me in all this is that the Russian media/propaganda machine hasn't brought up the West that much. So far in this war it seems like everything - everything - is a Western/American/NATO plot according to the official Russian line. But as far as I can tell, that hasn't entered the conversation around Prigozhin's little adventure.
  3. It’s a typo. What he meant to say is, “my school can’t match Texas’s NIL machine so now I’m a salty bitch on Reddit”. Just a simple slip of the fingers, really.
  4. I think I offered Arozarena to literally every other owner for a SP, hoping to get a taker. I was down to 3 healthy ones, one of whom is Kershaw who is gonna get shut down at some point. That’s what I get for drafting deGrom.
  5. Damn we got a flurry of trade activity all of a sudden
  6. Am I dumb? Sayin is supposed to be in Tuscaloosa this weekend and he tweeted from there this morning.
  7. We're through episode 5 right now. Seems like it's turning from an interesting sci-fi premise (why are they in the silo? why can't they go outside? what's the backstory of the founders/rebellion?) to a not-super-interesting murder mystery. It's like the show completely changed premises and even actors after episode 2. They hired Rashida Jones and David Oyelowo just so they could kill them off immediately and never mention them again?
  8. I've often wondered if it would be a good idea for every House district to be gerrymandered for maximum competitiveness. I'm sure there's some negative ramifications I'm not thinking of, but it's an interesting thought experiment. According to Wikipedia, he got married last December.
  9. @shadow_operative2.0 holla at ya boy if you're interested. I need to make some roster decisions.
  10. There's always good money to be made by being Democrats' favorite GOP presidential candidate. That fact will earn him exponentially more media coverage than his infinitesimal polling numbers would otherwise warrant. This guy has zero shot to ever be the GOP presidential nominee or hold statewide office in Texas and he knows it. He's raising his profile and bolstering his anti-Trump bona fides in hopes of one day being appointed CIA director (in a Democratic administration, naturally) or something along those lines.
  11. Are they pushing all their chips to the center for Simmons, then? Or is my reading of that situation incorrect?
  12. Simmons is a pure NIL recruitment and they lead big. I bet they have plenty of O&G money in their fanbase that will do what needs to be done.
  13. Just threw out a bunch of offers, hoping to get some action. Willing to trade one of my stud OF for a top SP. Surely someone's gotta be interested.
  14. The three most effective Pixar feels moments, IMO: Bing Bong sacrifices himself for the sake of Riley's long term happiness - "sing louder, Joy, sing louder!" The gang accepts their fate together in the trash incinerator in TS3 Anton Ego eats something so good that it transports him to another time and changes his outlook on life
  15. I'd like to trade a bat for a front line starter... since I'm now down to 3 healthy starters, one of whom is old as shit and injury prone.
  16. I'm definitely in the "Pixar has fallen off" crowd. I have young kids so I see these movies a bunch. I'm not saying the newer movies are shit, or unwatchable, but they're just "fine", whereas several of the older movies are truly magical. Last truly great one IMO was Inside Out in 2015. Coco, TS4, and Soul were all very good. Everything else since then has been just OK. My kids liked them, they're well made, it's a pleasant enough way to spend 90 minutes, but ultimately forgettable. Haven't seen Lightyear or Elemental yet. Compare that to early Pixar: TS1, 2, and 3, Nemo, Incredibles, Ratatouille, and WALL-E. Holy shit what a run. Even Cars and Monsters, Inc. have a freshness to them that the newer stuff doesn't IMO. In a way, they're victims of their own success because they trained us to expect something fucking amazing pretty much every time for the first 15ish years. Maybe it's just nostalgia as people my age have gone from the target audience for Pixar movies to parents now. I don't think so, though. We actually just rewatched Nemo the other day, and as a grown man - that is just an incredibly well made movie. Something like Luca or Turning Red just isn't even in the same ballpark.
  17. There's several clips in there where you can pinpoint the exact moment that the defender's soul leaves his body.
  18. 5 star WRs from central Texas seem like our kryptonite
  19. No commitments yet? Fire Sark and disband the program.

    Didn't Pulisic come out pretty strongly in favor of him pretty shortly after the World Cup? I admit to not following this as closely as many on this thread.

    The Berhalter thing is mystifying to me. The timeline makes me wonder if they developed a short wish list, but were told no thanks by everyone on there. So they said, "fuck it, none of these 3-4 guys wants the job, so lets just stick with the known quantity that the players like".
