  1. Totally agree and that's why I said I don't think Deion will ultimately generate a culture of winning. My post was intended to say that I don't think this appreciably hurts team morale and recruiting and may likely be net positive. Is it what puts together a winning team? I don't think so, but I could be surprised.
  2. A bunch of olds on a message board aren't the target market here. It's not a bad look at all to have Shilo and Shedeur in Paris walking the runway for Louis Vuitton. It's entirely on brand for what Deion is trying to build at CU. Take a look at what NFL players wear before and after games. It's a fashion show and there's a ton of LV on display. Deion talked about Louis in his first press conference at CU. Check out an image that I received from CU yesterday (I bought tickets to a game at Folsom once and now they spam me everyday). What's that in the background? An LV pattern. This stuff is aspirational for a lot of these kids and seeing his kids walking in a fashion show is aspirational. This is completely on brand for the NIL world. Now does it turn into results on the field? My opinion is no, but stranger things have surprised me.
  3. For sure and China has some really deep pockets with the added benefit of stealing a lot of IP.
  4. In addition to A and B there's now a C to keep an eye on. I don't think we're going to see US airlines buying the Comac C919 anytime soon, but it's selling well in China and that's historically been a big Boeing marker. If it starts catching on in the rest of Asia, that could put a big dent in Boeing's narrowbody business.
  5. It's incredible how much being President ages you. Even Obama, who is probably the fittest President we've had in my lifetime, aged a ton over eight years. So when you start from a baseline of 78, you're going to look really damn old after 4 years in the grinder.
  6. I loved Past Lives. I'm really surprised that Celine Song didn't get nominated for best director and that Greta Lee didn't get nominated for best actress.
  7. Not a good sign for Boeing when the CEO of your biggest customer starts calling you out in public. https://apnews.com/article/united-airlines-ceo-boeing-manufacturing-problems-4090ea6176ef59e382dd18e9522596bc
  8. Since we're down the Pizza Hut rabbit hole. I read this article last week where the franchise owner in Hempstead converted one of his stores to a retro Pizza Hut. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/pizza-hut-classic-hempstead-texas-18598725.php
  9. There's a way to go about what you're trying to do without talking down to people and literally calling them entitled children. I see what you're trying to do and agree with the goal. I just think you could make some changes to how you're going about it that would be more effective and well received. I know it's a hard job and the pay sucks. We all know it's difficult to change ingrained cultures. I'm merely suggesting to treat people with respect
  10. Exactly. Imma keeps calling others toxic while being toxic himself. The lack of self awareness is breathtaking.
  11. More accurately, the cop isn't going to radio back to HQ for orders when he sees you speeding.
  12. This has been my experience as well. Why would you bring in a guy that is almost universally disliked by the frontline cops to be the liaison between city hall and the department? Besides questioning the need for the position in the first place, it doesn't seem like Art is the guy I would bring in to manage that relationship.
  13. He not only validated it, he labeled everyone who called LHL out on it toxic.
  14. An innocent mom and her two children drowning isn't outrageous? Aren't you a father?
  15. Is that guy on file with the city for being a dumbass with a strike one?
  16. I think we're going to need clearly defined toxicity guidelines after one of the resident trolls showed up in the offending thread.
  17. Wife and I had a trip to Europe back in November. BA Club World on the way over and UA Polaris on the way back. Polaris was 1000% better than what BA trots out as a premium product. BA is an embarrassment of an airline.
  18. The irony of a closeted gay man saying that is not lost on me.
  19. This. In Houston I know to take a beat when I'm the first car at a red light turning green. On the highway, I know and expect aggressive driving. In Austin, the drivers are clueless and driving in their own bubble. Traffic patterns are also a lot more predictable in Houston. I know exactly when and where to avoid traffic whereas Austin traffic piles-up at random ass times and places. Give me Houston everyday.
  20. Oklahoma legislators going hard in the paint. Must be getting tired of living in the shadow of the Texas GQP.
