  1. And the poverty class will have a lot less to lose, and therefore be susceptible to violent revolution, than the petit bourgeoisie we have now debating general strikes and trying to normalize this shit.
  2. To the addiction point. Relapses do happen, more often than not. But the only thing you can ask of the relapsing addict is to get sober and get back on the program. Rehab doesn't have to be a part of that, necessarily, but it sure can't hurt -- the main benefit being removal from the day to day grind. And, if it was a serious relapse, like a several day hard core bender, 30 days is probably not the recommended course. Hell, 30 days is generally regarded as insufficient in most cases. Anyway, I'm gonna need more than even a credible rumor that that is true before I start to give it any credence.
  3. I mean outside of quien es mas macho land, it should probably be expected that a football coach is not home "tending to the Mrs." in a whole variety of ways that might invite infidelity or other forms of marriage failure. None of which are particularly the coach-spouse's fault. We like to laugh at Jimbo and spin all kinds of porn-influenced scenarios, but I imagine most coaches' marriages are tenuous on a number of fronts, just like a lot of men and women with occupations that demand an excessive amount of their time and attention. You'd like to think a guy with that kind of job or prospects would choose a wife accordingly, but I think that's asking a lot. No amount of premarital discussion can really prepare one for prolonged spousal absence.
  4. If his was the worst, you're challenging him. Hard. The administration and AD hated Beard's bitch too and she was arguably directly fucking things up adjacent the program, but they didn't try to fire Beard until he let it get to an embarrassing and untenable legal situation.
  5. Missing Junior Day is the only thing that troubles me there. That seems to be actual fact. But it seems like a coach should get a couple weeks time off immediately after the season, particularly if going through a divorce or similar personal problems.
  6. The theory is that the practices weren't physical/practical enough that Sark could see that he had shit for an OLine, probable shit for a QB, and likely shit for skill players outside Wisner and Baxter. There is, for some reason, a disconnect between what Sark thinks his offensive players can execute and what they really can execute. It has been apparent for several years, although to lesser degrees. Exacerbated this year by the heavy turnover on O. There are a variety of possible reasons for that disconnect, but we have no real idea which one it is or if it is a combination of things. Possibilities include: Light, NFL practices in off-season Off-field issues, ranging from the known divorce and reconciliation, complete with child, to cuckolding and/or benders/relapse Yes man assistants Incompetent assistants that hide their incompetence (functionally equivalent to yes-men) Pure stupidity and obstinance from Sark
  7. Shit an any test, except maybe grifting. I'm not even sure teh Donald really even understands his grifting.
  8. Marucci.
  9. As far as the parsing goes, and I'm not sure how valid that it, Sark didn't deny that his agents talked to the NFL. As others have pointed out, for better or worse during this most chaotic of coaching carousels, it would be negligent for agents not to talk to the NFL to attempt to generate contract leverage. The denial leaves open that his agents contacted the NFL without his knowledge or consent, or with his consent as a tactic, only.
  10. Someone on the game thread said "it's not being denied." Referring I suppose to portapotty girl or whatever. Which is just chef's kiss for this timeline.
  11. It had been years since I saw the movie and decided to look it up to see where I could stream it. The answer, of course, was nowhere, but the series cropped back up. I started it again, and had seen the first couple of eps, because I vaguely remembered. Now about to finish season 1 and it has been pretty good. Lizzy Caplan is always good, whatever the role and so is that Vicky Krieps chick.
  12. One major problem is the audience.
  13. Yeah, in the live footage it looked like his foot was in the chalk, in the slowmo, it was clear it was several inches inbounds. And I think people make the mistake of watching him haul it in to see if there's a bobble or secures it against his body. Those are evidence that he did not have possession (not that possession was incomplete until he pulls it in) and because there was none of that, it was a catch.
  14. Probably correct. All everyone talks about is how the big dogs dominate NIL and maybe the portal, but there's a strange new parity now.
  15. Fify.
  16. I enjoy positing and reading theories about why middle aged men succeed or fail at coaching. But too many people get really strident about their theories and treat them as irrefutable fact and anyone that questions them is an idiot or pederast or idiot pederast.
  17. I don't recall that Akina's zones played particularly soft, just poorly. It was doubly strange because in man coverage, they were as good as anyone or better. I think the 10 yards off is a PK special and the bad coverage is an Akina contribution, perhaps "aided" by the absence of Taaffe.
  18. This is truth. Every year, for years, the Bamas and Georgias and LSUs would struggle mightily with some unworthy team, Aggy, Vanderbilt, MSU, Mizzou, Kentucky. And then stage an improbable comeback. Not excusing our season-long performance, but it's a thing.
  19. Freakonomics had a thing about relegating the worst NFL teams to the NCAA and vice versa. More important than exploring that bizarre scenario, it had a very good discussion of the court cases that led to NIL and revenue sharing. At least the first episode did (really a two parter, see October 3). https://www.npr.org/podcasts/452538045/freakonomics-radio
  20. I believe PK prefers zone coverage in the backfield, typically. Akina was always known to be a poor teacher or designer of zone backfields. Great coverage and individual player coach, but his zone Ds always sucked. I seem to recall particularly at safety positions. So this seems to be a sub-optimal combination.
  21. The problem with internet journalism is that it seems to have removed the penalty for false or inaccurate reporting in favor of fast scoops. Mainstream news outlets used to spend a lot of their ad revenue on trained, ethical, quality reporters that generated accurate, informative, and well-written news. Their reputation as an outlet was closely tied to their accuracy. The internet gave "journalists" a national and highly visible platform from which they could scoop mainstream media and the more sensational the scoop the better. Along the way, it seems to have extracted most penalties for inaccuracy or even flat-out lies. And that has extended to mainstream media as well.

    Niblett!

    It appears that Ryan saw no benefit in fielding a punt after waving his hand around like some kind of faget. He would have rather let them go into the end zone. The problem was they didn't always go in the end zone.
  23. Seems the most likely injury given the hit. And he got up fully mobile, but slow, disoriented looking.
