You named another whiny team. Congratulations on also sucking I guess?

One of his underrated runs in my opinion was the 75-yarder in Stillwater. His speed was so impressive and effortless.

What a great player. Congratulations on an outstanding career.

I imagine it went something like this:
Riley opens his fat mouth about watching the NFL Draft, says his recruiting pitch is asking recruits whether they've watched it the last two years.
Saban calls up Sanders and just says "Well? Did you?"
Sanders flips.
The end.

Yeah, they claim that the ref rotations are decided before the series. But the NBA claims a lot of stuff.

So? This feud with Foster and the Rockets goes back kinda far. There are other playoff series being played. Why would they assign him to any games from this series?
Bad look, made worse by all the game 1 stuff.
Because you don't want the world to think that one whiny team is running the league.

Refs should leak a statement to the media that they've reviewed the report and will make more foul calls on Harden as requested.

I didn't say he dragged it for 5 feet beforehand.Right, Harden is the matrix. Harden was already past Looney, when their feet collided. But you are right, Harden knew exactly where Looney's foot was going to be when he was passing Looney.
And it's pretty silly to act like Harden didn't know exactly where the foot was. He's a gotdamn wizard at that shit. Perhaps you've missed the last 5 years.
I actually want the Rockets to win. Longhorn count is even and the one on the Warriors has rings already. But Harden's bullshit is just that, bullshit. If I wanted to watch Brazilians play soccer I would. -
lulzWhat exactly is wrong with this foul call? Looney tripped him.
I guess you just missed the part where Harden dragged his leg and his foot on the floor before either made contact with Looney.-

They've uncovered evidence that the best teams and best players get a disproportionate percentage of calls in their favor.
HOLY SHIT ALERT THE MEDIA

Some of you prove you’ve never played basketball in your life. Nowhere in the rule book does it state anything about where you land after a jump shot, every shooter is unique in their own way, you can go sideways, forward or backwards on any shot so it doesn’t matter if you shoot and land 3 feet away from your original take off point. Harden got run into by klay, the draymond one at the end wasn’t a foul in my eyes, but stating you are doing something illegal or wrong by jumping forward is like saying you can’t fade away 3 feet on a shot. You can’t initiate the contact no matter if you go straight up and down or 3 feet away.
The only reason the 3 foot jump forward is being mentioned is because it directly determines who initiated contact. Nobody is saying it's illegal to jump forward, but if you jump 3 feet forward into a defender who jumped (approximately) vertically than you're the one who initiated contact. That's the entire point.
Your post proves that you've never comprehended written English in your life much more than other people's posts indicate they've never played basketball.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about those. That was pretty clear.

I don’t disagree with the principle, but you have 47% of the population with a 0% ETR. Changing that to 65% might not go over well with the constituency.
And smaller government with less intervention isn’t a fan favorite of the socialist candidates either.
Given that the upper income tax brackets are taxed at percentages much lower than long-term historical norms and that income disparity is much higher than long-term historical norms, it seems like tax policy isn't why stats such as the one you cited exist.
Seems completely logical that when the richest people are making a much higher share of the money that they would pay a much higher share of the taxes. if you're so concerned with so many people not having an income tax burden there are ways to fix that. Like a much higher minimum wage and much lower executive pay, for example. You interested?

Who ran into whom? Green landed 3 feet away from where Harden took off.This kinda makes sense though. When someone runs into you as you shoot a 3, your natural reaction is going to be to try and kick out and land on your butt, rather than risk landing on the other guy's foot. -
So the top 30% or so of income pays 50% of income taxes.The top 3% of income earners pay 50% of total income tax. The bottom 50% of earners paid almost 5% of total tax. But sure, the rich don’t pay their fair share.
Sounds reasonable when you don't intentionally try to make it sound unreasonable. -
The schools already compensate 94% of college football players. These are the players who will never be paid to play. The other 6% should be allowed to enter the draft immediately and or allowed to profit from their likeness. You can debate the level of compensation, but they are compensated. If the player can’t get paid after graduating high school for his services, the school should not be required to “give him a job/comparable pay”.
The school making money off of students is nothing new, and not exclusive to athletes, grad students or research assistants. Without the college football infrastructure built up over a century, 94% of high school graduates would be left paying for college in something other than football.
The names on the back change each year, the name on the front provides 95%of the value for 94% of the athletes.
That's a valid hypothesis. Let's run the experiment.A wide receiver from Ohio State, Dixon received $50,000 total guaranteed. That includes a $10,000 signing bonus and a $40,000 base salary guarantee.
A defensive end from national champion Clemson, Huggins received a total of $40,000 guaranteed.
Dixon, who worked out privately for Texans receivers coach John Perry prior to the draft, caught 42 passes for 669 yards and eight touchdowns last season. Over the past two seasons, he caught 60 passes for 1,091 yards and 16 touchdowns.
1 yr at UT with all of the extras is worth more than this.
I don't believe that's all any players would make. Not even close. In fact a P5 team that only paid that much to anyone would be uncompetitive within 3 years. Alumni and fan demands to compete would require them to pay more to get better players. My hypothesis is that pretending that tuition, fees, room, and board is fair compensation is silly and I'd love for this experiment to happen and have Oklahoma only offer that to recruits.
As supporting evidence I offer the fact that we gave Charlie fucking Strong something like 25 million dollars. -
So your post was completely pointless. Thanks for the stupidity.At least at a starting point. Gloss over that. But thanks for the entertainment -
Not even you are dumb enough to think that's all he could have gotten.I’ll wager Lawerence could have negotiated a few years of food medical room and board and free college along with access to the best trainers and staff in the country. At least at a starting point
Your only concern is your entertainment. -

I absolutely agree with most of this post. The only issue I am having is that academic scholarships are not given with the express and specific purpose of direct competition with other schools
Yes they are.

Oh there you go. You think the schools should control the players so that the schools can make more money that the players don't make any of. That's absurd and the entire problem. There would be zero issue with restricting transfers if the players were making fair market wages. How much of a salary do you think Trevor Lawrence could have negotiated during the recruiting process? Your entire theory rests on the employer making money and restricting the workers' movement without the workers ever having a chance to negotiate their cut of the pie.

Most of them have, yes. And I'm not a DC guy. Comic books are comic books to me.
But Wonder Woman was a good movie and was much better than a handful of Marvel movies it's rated worse than on sites. Justice League was not nearly as good as Avengers but it certainly wasn't as far behind Age of Ultron as you'd think from fan reviews. That's all I'm saying. Good things can be overrated and bad things can be underrated.

Movie was great, any Marvel fan should be happy with it. Anyone nitpicking time travel plot holes really needs to get a fucking clue. This is a comic book movie, not a Ken Burns documentary. Try to remember how things were before you were an adult, and you just enjoyed things for what they were, and not what you thought they should be. It's fun movie, with tons of great scenes, just sit back, relax and enjoy it, it's the culmination of a decade of movies into an epic resolution for an incredibly powerful villain. If you can't do that, at least remember this:
As soon as this hits blue ray, i'm taking a snapshot of that image of Cap vs Thanos army and making that my computer background. That was an awesome moment. Hell if i can find that on a poster, I'll buy it.
This post and the others like it are exactly why Marvel movies are consistently overrated and the good DC movies are underrated. Marvel was first-to-market with the modern superhero movies.
Literally nothing can be questioned in a Marvel movie or you just don't get it while any little issue in a DC movie is mocked endlessly. Don't get me wrong, the Marvel movies have been consistently better than the DC ones but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point.
Marvel fans literally use one of their characters pointing out that nothing in their movies makes sense as a positive thing. It's pretty funny, to be honest.-

Rick Barnes thread

It's just playing the game and he lost the hand by trying to call UCLA's bluff that it was their final offer when they weren't bluffing (although it was poor negotiating form to do that after an agreement).
It didn't get really bad until the bullshit about praying and God telling him to stay in Tennessee. I don't think anyone in this world would confuse Dan Guerrero with God. No offense to Dan.
