Yeah; Indont get the double standard white knighting for Mulkey in this thread. She’s done two unequivocally unredeemable things that transcend the sexism double standard (which I agree with by the way). 1. Apologizing and being annoyed by the plight of female students at Baylor during the Briles era, and 2. Shaming and potentially facilitating the public outing of gay players on her team. So yeah, all of those negative adjectives about hard nosed women in coaching and the workplace get flipped to positive adjectives for men all of the time. And perhaps it applies to Mulkey some. But those two things above are beyond the pale and are irrelevant to the sexism argument. Fuck her.

I presumed this was a sarcastic post. Whoops.

3 Body Problem, Netflix, If You Know, You Know
A-Tex Devil replied to atomheartbevo's topic in Movies and TV
My take having not read the books, but answering some questions upthread to see if I am right? -
Interesting.... I always thought Valencia was way less dynamic than Pereira, but didn't leave the back line hanging out to dry where Pereira could have a few runs in a game, but when he was at the 6, the back line was left in lurch a lot when he failed to clean stuff up. I really like Valencia for what he is and glad he's on the team. I may be full of shit as well. Agree Pereira and Ring looked good Saturday.
-
Was there Saturday. Dallas is really bad - at least what they trotted out there. I didn't think anyone could have a worse starting XI than us, but they did. We were dominating them all game. Driussi's dime was stunning and a reminder that he is a different level of class than most in MLS. I'd love to see some MLS nerd write an article ranking the DPs across the league. My guess is Ring and Rigoni wouldn't be the worst as I imagine there are some that are always hurt and never play. But Rigoni has to be near the bottom and Ring, as much as I like him, is not DP quality. I wonder if collectively ours are the worst? That has to be remedied at the end of this year.

As a Duke fan, those dudes played like ass today. I hope Flip doesn’t decide to come back. And on bright side, he doesn’t have Edey tape to plummet his draft status next week. He would have gotten dominated. Now Burns/Edey should be fun.

Duke over UH Clemson over Baylor NC State over Tech
-
Grant Hill is right though - if he plays and he shouldn’t he could really fuck it up. Grant knows more than anyone. Roach summoning his 2022 tourney persona.
-
Ball don’t lie. But it seems to always lie with this guy.
-
Both teams are fucking beating the shit out of each other. Not sure what refs are supposed to do. Hope Shead is OK.
-
I landed a Bijan one of one on a break a few weeks ago and decided to just focus on getting his cards for me and my son. Has been fun. Box full of them now.

2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?
A-Tex Devil replied to BigOrange1's topic in Basketball
Rockets catch a break with SGA out tonight. Keep it rollin'! -
Thanks. I've been buying up Bijan on eBay when I can find deals. Has been quite fun.

guy ritchie's "the gentlemen" - new tv show coming to netflix
A-Tex Devil replied to henrygandorf's topic in Movies and TV
Loved it. It's seems less tied directly to The Gentleman (the movie) than to the Guy Ritchie-universe in general. Callbacks to Lock Stock (weed farm guarded by stoners), Snatch (boxing, gypsies), Rocknrolla (rich narcissistic addict in debt setting off a ridiculous chain of events), and a look into the various ethnic and regional gangs across the UK. There other easter eggs, but I wonder if this is multi-season with same story, or whether they could do a Fargo-type anthology. -
I presumed getting rid of Fagundez; the most popular player in the franchise, was an aggressive play to set things in motion for an exciting offseason, then….. crickets. The team is worse than the team that opened last year. Obrien and Rubio are proven jags. Happy to have for depth but we will rely on these guys this year. I like Valencia because he is always solid but he’s never going to change the game. I am over Pereira at this point. He can make the occasional nice forward run but he does back line zero favors. Wolff isn’t as good when Driussi isn’t playing. We have 2 of 3 DP spots with guys that aren’t worth it and 3rd is hurt. I am not optimistic.
-
Fuck that. Dude was running right at him. Would have been my natural reaction too. You don’t know intent if the fan. Just start suspending the coaches. That’s not hard and has real consequences that can create deterrence from the top.
-
Wake Forwr fans can get fucked. *This* is the Duke team you are going to rush the court on? This is two incidents in the last couple of weeks now. Just let the visiting team get off the court then rush. If you don’t then, well I don’t know what the right penalty is. Maybe the coach has to sit out 3 games. It’s not the coache’s fault but it wil put some incentive into n for coach to talk to crowd ahead of big games.
-
At my first game in a while. It is hilarious that Jared Thomas’ walk up music is Snake Farm. Well done.
-
Is Chris Johnson a rotation player? I am hopeful he adds something next year. I am starting to really like Mitchell - for what he is - but he feels like a transfer this offseason for some reason. Pure speculation. But he gets like 14 and 10 just about every game these days by purely being the best athlete on court. If dude could just figure out a shot.

I’ve been doing breaks on Fanatics.Live recently. It’s dangerous but has been a lot of fun. Got about 8 icons including a cool Nolan Ryan /10 with Astros and rangers. Also just hit on a Bijan 1/1 from Panini Ultimate Football. Will send picture once I get it. Two questions: 1. I have several dozen cards worth $5-$20. Would love to just sell them in groups at a discount (particularly the rookies) to recoup some costs but that seems hard. Any ideas? 2. Should I send all of the Icons off to be graded? My understanding is that if it’s sub $50 it’s not really worth being graded but happy to learn. Edited to add the Nolan.
-
I think the thing that everyone finds hilarious is that a half dozen shots (maybe) of the Swift suite during a 4 hour game gets to you.
-
None of this fucking matters as to why he got fired. If we are arguing whether it's OK to call him an abuser or not, then I'll step out, because I frankly don't care. And if you think he should have been fired as you note above, then you need another Elsa post. We all are in violent agreement that he should have been fired. After that, who gives a shit? He didn't go to jail, and he landed a decent gig that will likely vault him back into something equivalent to Texas or better.

Why are people white knighting for Beard still? I don't get it. At the very least, he showed absolutely horrible judgment worthy of termination. I wanted the dude to succeed. We are same age and grew up in same area, so it was cool that we hired him. But what happened was going to happen with that pairing at some point, and he didn't have the good sense to hit eject before it bit him in the ass. And to follow that (and I get it was on advice as counsel) he didn't exactly cover himself in glory after the fact. Good on him for doing well at Ole Miss. Sorry you blew your shot at your dream job because either you did what you were accused of or couldn't step away from a ticking time bomb that would embarass the university. I am sure he is next in line at Kentucky, though, when Cal retires. So, yeah.... he'll be fine.

This got a lot wrong. I don't fully understand why the hillbilly posse stormed the hospital? What was that? I don't have the same allergic reaction to this season as a bunch of y'all do. I'm enjoying it.
