Heās been a douchebag on several areas, to name just a few:
-Israel/Palestine
-Covert military operations
-Obsessively equating right wing efforts to suppress freedom of expression with āleft wing wokenessā
-Not being able to connect dots on a host of issues (his gripes with K-12 education and college make it sound like theyāre in completely separate vacuums, which is especially perplexing given his propensity to cite Scandinavia as a model of success)
-Romanticism of Bill Clinton
This latest New Rules segment is just more of the same.
Depends on whether or not there's unanimity. If it's not a unanimous move, it'd have to wait 'til after the current CFP contract runs out (through 2025 season). Unless I'm mistaken, a unanimous vote means...immediately, right? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Exactly. SMU was among the more saintly actors out there. There wasn't a campus-wide rape culture like at Baylor, there wasn't a campus-wide gun culture like at OU, there wasn't a campus-wide drug culture like at...well various places. No Joe, no Bo, no Woodrow getting a woody about dead kids in Vietnam or punching players in the throat on national TV. No, SMU was executed because some guys decided to pay football players and acted like asses about it when questioned by the authorities. Fuck. How else are you supposed to explain to a kid that the lessons you learn playing college football are anything other than "whatever you do, don't get caught?"
And I'm not in any way suggesting that Michigan, or any other program, deserves/deserved the death penalty. But holy shit, each one of these stories actually makes the NCAA look worse and worse for doing that compared to other things that were happening right under their noses. That decision did not age well...at all.
Meh, most of the playoffs in college football have them. In fact, D3 is the only one that regularly doesn't. I tend to prefer the 8/16 proposals myself, but I wouldn't necessarily tell a 12 to "get fucked." I would argue that it seems bound to present screwy situations between the 4th and 5th teams from not having any concrete methodology to separate them, but that's still a whole lot better than this bullshit ass "let's have a committee of people involved with universities in the P5 choose 4 among 130!"
They rely on the Hitlerian strategy to advance their little rabbit-assed nonsense. And I don't say that pejoratively, I literally mean that this falls right in line with what Hitler described in Mein Kampf. His mini-thesis on that was that if you tell a small lie, it's actually harder to sell than a colossal lie. With a colossal lie, the liar is relying on the idea that enough people will think to themselves "there has to be some truth to it. Why else would he be saying it? Surely no one could be so brazen as to just make up a whopper like that."
So Biden didn't steal the election directly?
Ok, blame the voting systems that were developed in left wing Venezuela by socialist Hugo Chavez.
What? Chavez has been dead for 7 years and the voting systems have no connection to him anyways?
Ok, blame the Italians. After all it's the perfect plot! Italy is one of the most right wing of European governments not named Russia, so what better way to fool everyone than to sabotage Trump's re-election? It's genius!!!
After this gets shot down in flames, my guess is their next move is to blame Santa Claus and the North Pole sending us subliminal messages in our Xmas gifts in 2019 to vote for Biden. They have nowhere else to go...but they will keep going. They will never fess up to reality.
And we have a winner. There's a difference between a registered Democrat and a person who understood that however terrible Joe Biden is w/r/t public policy, he's still miles ahead of Trump just on that front alone. Unlike "insane" and "21st century Republican," that Venn Diagram has two circles.
Right, it's about changing the face and not the substance just like when the GHWB admin wanted Saddam Hussein gone without fundamentally changing the government of Iraq.
I was gonna say, Iām struggling to find a downside to this. And of course itās bullshit anyways. The difference between the mainstream of Israelās political far left and far right covers the length of a fleaās hop.
It probably will fail and itās fucking stupid because football is the only sport with this issue.
MLB has all those minor leagues
NBA has the G league
NHL has multiple minor leagues
Only with football do you have this dynamic where the top dog is actively trying to sabotage what amount to minor leagues that donāt even play during the fall.
Itās so ironic that Vince McMahon, of all people, has tried this twice because the NFL is to football as the WWF/E was to wrestling post-1983: expand it as far as possible and kill all developmental leagues/territories that arenāt even there to compete.
Itās ridiculous because so many football players who might have had a chance to make it in the NFL after a couple years in a USFL/XFL-type environment have been snuffed out.
