Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Leave it to the Cowboys to lose a critical "must win" game, at home, on prime-time TV, against a terrible opponent that they "should" beat. The Vikings quarterback looks like a middle school kid who gets an atomic wedgie and his lunch money taken every day. Also, as someone else posted above, you'd have better protection and run blocking if you replaced a few Dallas O-Linemen with chairs and a jersey draped over them.

Covid/Influenza/Black Death. 2024 and beyond
On Friday, overhead a guy in my office (two doors down from me thankfully) talking to another guy about how he and his whole family had Covid right now, but it was so mild he didn't feel sick enough to stay home. Thanks dickhead, lucky for you but I'm not that eager to strap on a case since I'm in my 50s and obese. And I have a cruise coming up and I don't want to catch this crud.

Well, just got hit and run
Assholes. A red Charger damn near hit me on Parmer tonight as he was weaving through rush hour traffic like he was playing a god damn videogame. Someone did a minor hit and run on me five years ago and I'm still pissed about that one.

Formula 1 2025
Just sayin', it wouldn't be hard for someone qualified at the back of the grid to do a quick 180 when the race starts and run the first lap backward, meeting the rest of the field head-on.

Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
For some reasons the Texans started to use that hideous Olde English looking font for the "H" and stuff inside the stadium. The fuck is that about, that shit should be on a can of bottom shelf malt liquor.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
Only if the subscription cost of YTTV was dramatically reduced. Without ESPN, ABC, FX etc. I'd be willing to pay $15-20/month at most for the rest of the shit.

[Edited for CR content] But I was told by people that when a previous administration gave out stimulus checks during a crisis, it triggered a wave of inflation...

Thanks. Guess I'll have to dig my old Radio Shack antenna out of the closet and see if it still works.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
Anybody know definitively if the Texas-Georgia game will be ESPN-only, or if it will also run on ABC (KVUE in Austin)?

Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
I watch quite a few "police chase" type videos and it's insane how many people try to run from police, turning what could be a minor traffic or possession charge into multiple felonies (and/or risking death or serious injury).

Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
I missed the Duke game... is it too early to say what's the general character of this team going to be? Are we going to be the same team that passes the ball around the perimeter until we turn it over, or chuck up an off-balance 25-footer as the clock runs out? Please tell we're stacked with guys who can penetrate and drive to the hoop, picking up easy layups & dunks, and put the other team in foul trouble. I want to dominate in the paint and around the rim.

Don't we have multiple regulatory bodies like the SEC and FCC and CFPB that are supposed to make sure the consumer is protected from unfair and anti-competitive practi--- ahahahaah sorry i couldn't go any farther and keep a straight face.

Formula 1 2025
Give 'em whatever tire they want, but only allow each car to hold 12 gallons of fuel. Plenty of pitstops then. But really, I don't know if forcing more pitstops (though intentionally-shitty tires or limiting fuel) is a good way to increase engagement. It just introduces more randomness. I mean, we could just roll a D6 after each qualifying session and if a 6 hits, we invert the starting order--chaos race! Or we could have sprinkler or soaker systems set up to make sure we get the equivalent of at least 5 rain laps every race. Or give each driver some kind of light gun that he could aim at any car within 50 meters and zap it, giving the target car a power drain for like 5 seconds.

Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
I'm just echoing what everyone else has said but that offensive performance was...offensive. Putrid. Terrible OL play, moronic penalties, and "the fuck was that?"-level play calling and game management. I feel bad for the Texans defense, who gave the offense multiple chances to get back into the game. It was not unlike watching the UT offense fumblefuck around, except that the Texans are a fucking professional NFL team and have even less excuse to put this product on the field.

Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Just after the game last night an acquaintance called me to complain about Dak's play. He also said he was "impressed" by "how well" the Cowboys defense played to "keep them in the game." There are some fans that will blame Dak for everything.

The Cowboys have no defense and the Texans have no offense. If the two teams played, who would win?
