  1. Maalik’s NIL check was going to get smaller. So constructively, yes, that’s kinda what happened. Duke fans are pissing me off though blaming Maalik for leaving after more or less giving Leonard a pass last year. I wonder why.
  2. I think he ends up at UCLA or one of the Arizona schools. Someone has lined up NIL bids for him that Duke isn’t willing to match. My guess on the backup is he was told he wasn’t starting or had to earn the bowl game start and hit ejection. Not sure though.
  3. We are heading to Disney 1/1-1/8 after having to cancel two years ago. Bay Lake Tower. I think we are all set, but still trying to figure out the lightning lane/fast pases, etc. I thought I had to wait until the morning of each day we are there, but saw somethign else that says I can book 21 days out? So confusing.
  4. Seems like he had some book smarts. Wonder what sent him off deep end… https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigi-mangione?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app
  5. Nine. But this conference is a circle jerk and they are chickenshit. We should open every conference meeting with this argument. Our home schedule is Big XII level bad next year. Add that extra game.
  6. Fair. Honestly I don’t give a shit about 7-10.
  7. I don’t think that’s what I said?
  8. Five and six looking nice. My concern with SMU is they will put Clemson ahead of them which means Clemson jumps Miami and the three SEC teams, one of which beat them last week. Unless they decide Clemson jumps ASU. 1. Oregon 2. Georgia 3. Boise 4. ASU 5. Texas/ND 6. Texas/ND 7. Ohio St. 8. Tennessee 9. Penn St. 10. Indiana 11. Clemson 12. SMU
  9. Yes. Was funny. McAfee and Kirk were cracking up. Not sure if Saban knows or not he can’t say that. I presume they had the delay to bleep it but they didn’t.
  10. Right, but he met this hot minor that was denied care and cracked like Tom Wilkinson.
  11. I am betting the long odds on a Michael Clayton situation. CEO was about to cross street and tell his stockholders UHC is evil and the only way to survive long term is to reorient around the consumer. Board tells GC to do something about it and GC goes all Tilda Swinton and confusingly orders a hit.
  12. Deleted for staleness
  13. Who is going to teach Rip to make spurs? Billy Ray Klapper died in September. More likely Rip inherits the ranch, sells it to avoid eminent domain and buys the Spurs.
  14. The difference is I think the Kill Tony's of the world are trying to offend first and be funny second. It's insult comic work and it has its place. Jeselnik is along the lines of Stephen Wright and MItch Hedberg in that they are crafting jokes. They happen to be on taboo topics, but it's about the setup, the misdirection and the punchline more than it is offending people.
  15. Jeselnik’s take on whining about cancel culture is perfect. It’s a crutch used by hack comedians who both aren’t savvy enough to thoughtfully defend their material and think somewhere in the first amendment there is a lost clause granting them freedom from criticism of their lame-ass offensive joke.
  16. Ball. Don’t. Lie.
  17. Jeselnik dropped. Always great.
  18. Look if we go 54-28 and Green is 3-11 for 14 points 3 out of 4 games and is 14-22 for 35 in the 4th and the team is cool with it, I’ll take it. I was all about a 2-1 or 3-1 trade but now I’m not sure what kind of (realistic) trade makes us better than Boston or OKC (with Chet) so why not try to do it with what we got?
  19. Enjoyed it. Can’t decide if the twist was ridiculous or well hidden. FBI lady slams.
  20. Duke should be going for its 10th win this weekend but their kicker blew the SMU game. Maalik has been great for the program but I do fear he gets scooped up by someone in the offseason. Has been a fun year.
  21. My son got to meet Anthony Hill and Collin Simmons at an event recently at his clinic. They are awesome kids. Getting those two in back to back years is insane. They are going to wreck shit next year. (Frankly they already are a a pair. Collin’s last two games have been stellar).
