The devil we know (a teetering Putin, nukes centralized, RU in tact for the most part but out of Ukraine) is better than the devil we don't (a dozen war lords and oligarchs further destabilizing the region and selling off the nukes).

Was that the hit on the TE in the endzone? If so , huge play. That, and the Limas catch were so nails. I was there that night and for me, it was the best game Ive seen live.

Mods can delete if there is already a thread or move to CR. Methodist Churches are disaffiliating in large numbers due to actions at the General Conference level over human sexuality and same sex marriage. As a Methodist (convert from Catholic), I hate to see this division. The main issue appears to be the move toward allowing openly Gay ordained clergy and the acknowledgement of same sex marriage. As a Christian, I am big tent guy and don't have a problem with it (I voted as such in our recent Board of Stewards meeting), though I am a bit agnostic on the whole matter in total. Our BOS voted to not disaffiliate by the Dec deadline and wait and see how the General Conference goes next year. I love our Church and will stay either way honestly, but I hate seeing social issues bleed over in to the congregation, though I suppose this is the world we live in now. https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2023/january/umc-churches-leave-global-methodist-denomination-schism.html

I doubt they realize the UKR military is more westernized and will treat them humanely, for the most part. All they know is the horror stories passed down from Chechnya where the Muslims beheaded, tortured, murdered and stuck detainees in pits. My guess is they only know the Russian way.

Cho went to my highschool, JJ Pearce, though a good bit younger. RIP young man.

Have you been to North Dallas suburbs lately? Frisco, Allen , Mckinney, really anywhere north of LBJ , this is not your 70-80's Dallas anymore. Im not saying that is a bad thing, its just not all white like you think. Been to Northern VA, same thing, Fairfax, Chantilly, Tysons. No racist, just an observation. Hi- tech jobs, booming economy, cheap-ish real estate (in Dallas anyway), the North Dallas burbs are turning very diverse and attracting people/families of all nationalities.

Oh man....now there is a name sure to stir up the populace. One Darrell Scott, havent thought of him in many many years. Not sure if it was Hornfans or Surly, but there was a time when the recruitment of this RB elicited some serious emotions. https://www.barkingcarnival.com/2008/10/03/darrell-scott-was-the-recruiting-story-of-the-past-5-years-but-he-will-be-a-non-factor-this-weekend

Always reminds me of when Army and the Aggies squared off several years ago. IIRC Army had them beat but a late turnover foiled the upset. Either on here or shaggy, it was called Army vs Fake Army, I laughed. Another good laugh was when the aggie ladies won a natty in basketball I think.....TAMU, where the women are champions and the men are cheerleaders.

Yeah I saw that too, not as 'salty' as I would have thought. Need to get off to a good start Friday, drawing a blank on our Friday guy (lefty, incidentally from CA iirc).

Harry being one, but who is the other? Simon from American Idol?

That was a big omission from the point being made.....it was the whole point, actually.

CA teams are always salty. We'll have our hands full this weekend.

We were cryin' for Jaime to recover.

Wtf is that order?

RU military did the same thing to its own troops in the Chechen war (s). Just an awful way to run an operation.

Just finished One Soldier's War by Babchenko. I didn’t really learn anything knew about the RU military from the two Chechen wars that we haven’t seen in the UKR war. What an absolute shit show they are. If it weren’t for nukes, the Russians would be closer to a 3rd world country than any modern superpower. Torture, indiscriminate killings, bullying, violence within ranks, lack of supplies, lack of meeting basic needs (ie water), eating toothpaste , eating dogs, theft, desertion, no discipline or respect of rank, alcoholism, rape, little or no record keeping, lack of supply chain management, poor soldiering. They really are a Godless bunch, no soul, little to no redeeming qualities as far as i can tell. How much longer will Putin survive?

Thats a great story. My dad was in law enforcement in Riverside back in the day, transferred from Los Angeles , before being promoted to Dallas. Over the years,he's shared a few stories about tracking bad guys around Palm Springs, San Berdo etc.. Uncle was a sergeant in LAPD, from Long Beach, he had a ton of good ones too.

No clue about it now, but I lived there for 5 years in the '80s, seemed great to me, but i was a kid. Cheryl Miller was the biggest thing in town at the time, she went for a hundo in a game for Poly, I got her autograph, as I mom was her home-ec teacher.

No one ever died in the show "The A-Team". Jeep hits an IED, flips over and rolls the Sandanistas in to the ditch....out of commission for that battle scene, but not dead.

gotcha. yeah, id say hes rested

is he the freshman that pitched last weekend, or it could have been vs AF?

For sure. Craig Way's color guy last night said on the radio feed ( I was carpooling kids all night, so went back and forth between LHN and radio) that he barely touched 90 all night. That sling shot/catapult delivery gave us fits. Stayed with him one inning too long, i thought for sure they would pull him after they stretched the lead...baffling to leave him in that weather and with a decent lead.

Curious, have you read Night by Eli Weisel (sp) by chance? Its a first hand account of his experiences in the roundup-Holocaust. I appreciate those first hand experience pieces. I'll check out the one referenced above.

Agreed. Overall enjoyed it. After I finished it, I watched several of her interviews. She’s kind of hot.

Just ordered this one. Will start tomorrow.
