  1. Stars already got most of my $$ and attention during the non-football months but will now be getting all of both. Sad I'm missing last game before long stretch off today but daddy/daughter dance taking priority this afternoon. Let's get 2 points.
  2. This. Fuck Cuban. He got his Championship and a big pile of money and turned the franchise over to fucking assholes that don't understand anything about sports or sports fandom. I have no doubt that he's shocked and pissed off about this move, but he enabled it after selling the fanbase on loyalty for his entire tenure.
  3. I'm 10000% out on this franchise. Are these owners this fucking retarded? Do they not know the reaction in this city? Fuck these clowns. Good riddance.
  4. What I don't love is the note that he's going to see a specialist to evaluate further. Sounds like the worst is still on the table depending on that evaluation. Still, if it was an obvious tear mandating surgery, presumably they just would have just ruled him out for the season today, so good news in that sense.
  5. This is 100% the reality although I've been shouted down when I made this point once before. The people that like sports and also like to post about politics find the site that largely suits their political flavor and then they all collectively shout down alternative viewpoints leading to the echo chamber pretty much every sports political board is. I've never paid a dime to Fat Ketch but have had access to my buddy's account for well over a decade and sometimes for the sheer humor I'll read a thread in the cloak room and then the OB politics board on the same topic and it's pretty funny. I don't have any problem with that in theory, but similarly, on all sports boards, because you have so many like minded individuals, the politics leak out onto other threads. Imma is probably correct that this doesn't have anything to do with the site dying but for me personally I spend a lot less time on non sports, entertainment or food than I used to. Probably just the reality of current culture where you essentially can't escape it and social media algorithms are also simultaneously echo chambers.
  6. Looks like they got moved to a different thread. But if someone is talking about Trump, or any R or D public official, the post, even if just a quote, will inevitably have a partisan tone in this politically charged environment. It's just the stupid fucking world we live in. I don't give a shit what he or any other R or D have to say on a fast paced news thread unless it's a flat out statement of facts. A lot of us don't care and actively try to avoid what any of those idiots say as it's fucking irrelevant to the goal of actually becoming educated on any given topic. When I click on a thread like that in DT, I want fact aggregation and expertise aggregation (what has historically made DT great is we have experts on damn near any topic in the community) and then community discussion on same. If I want to bitch about Trump or Kamala or similar I can go to the Cloak Room for that. But inevitably in damn near any thread someone has to chime in on what Trump said, and someone reacts, and off we go. Then yeah, those of us that are actively trying to avoid partisan bullshit end up bitching about the Cloak Roomers which, to your point, further dilutes the discussion.
  7. I mean you were the one telling us Malik Murphy would be just as good as Quinn Ewers last year
  8. This is the entire fucking point dude. There is an entire forum for this shit. Literally a thread exactly for it. Go circle jerk there and not on every fuckin thread on this board.
  9. This. I don't like Trump either, and when I want to think about politics or get pissed off at that asshole, it's certainly not hard to seek that out. Hell, maybe once a week I'll head over to the Cloak Room because I know whatever terrible shit that asshole and those around him are doing will be discussed at length. But he's literally broken the fucking brain of a lot of the most frequent posters on this board. And then those that disagree with them can't help themselves to retort back. And yeah, I've seen it go the other way where the Trumpers get political then the libs can't help themselves. The DCA crash thread is a perfect example. I go to try to get actual info and news. See the reddit post from a pilot immamac imbedded which was good info, see some info on the victims which is good info, scan for other content by pilots or others that post on this board. There is usually great stuff on threads like that that is much better than turning on the news. But now you have to wade through a shit ton of broken brained Cloak Roomers that can't help themselves. Is there a way to ignore posters on every forum BUT cloak room? I don't mind getting their take on there if that is what I'm in the mood to consume. But, shocking I know, a lot us don't let politics consume our lives. It's getting pretty close to the point I log on to check out the 9.95, food/travel and entertainment threads and that's it.
  10. I mean if we lose Miro for the season it really doesn't matter. I would think there is a practice today so hopefully get some info.
  11. JFC. Can't even read an actual active news thread without 50% cloak room bullshit.
  12. This is, unintentionally, the funniest thing I've seen you post.
  13. People involved with Texas One clearly talk to him as he sends out periodic messages that they need more donors etc. So if those guys talk to him, why don't they tell his fat ass to STFU speculating about NIL numbers if he ever wants any inside info.
  14. Don't think we play them again this year unless we match up in the playoffs.
  15. Yeah, I mean it's only the prospects for the entire season riding on it LOL. Best case scenario is probably miss games until the break and miss the 4 nations then get back healthy. I would take that all day.
