How many of those other countries does the United States directly supply with arms and munitions and deploy B-2's on their enemies when they ask us nicely?

Angel Reese: Fair pay, anti-sexualization, side eyes, and Missed Buckets

They're legit going to make a WNBA video game??? Ahh, it's going to be a part of the NBA game. I see. -
Sure, but the hope is that elected officials humor, but ultimately ignore, them and make decisions in the best interest of all their constituents. But the GOP--even at the grassroots level--is now in the business of creating more crazy political ranters because they're incredibly easy to manipulate for votes...so long as you indulge their insane conspiracy theories with your voting record. Which seems to be what happened here. Crazies are the base now, and we're going to get more and more people killed trying to appease them. The monster is too big now.

Yeah it was. Fuck. Even with water against the sliding glass door of what's essentially their 2nd story and coming up through the floor of their pillared house, it clearly didn't dawn on them that they were minutes away from swimming. Otherwise, they obviously would have assigned one of the men to each of the kids, just in case. But how can you possibly begin to grasp that your house will be floating soon in real time?

Cool. -
So what? Go all-in when you can win realistically win a(nother) championship. Only took OKC 13 years to grasp that.

No one gave Steph any grief when he first stepped into the league because he was just the fun, baby-faced skinny dude who could really shoot and who might make a few All-Star games. As soon as he started winning MVPs and a title, threatened the status quo, and took away other players' shine, that very much changed. Then, he was the rich, soft, light-skinned, ex-player's kid who never struggled a day in his life (laughable when discussing a 5'6" high school sophomore with serious NBA aspirations), who was attracting casual, predominantly white fans to the league. There was absolutely resentment from the cool kids club, namely LeBron and CP3. Klay caught some of it too for many of the same reasons. Steph didn't truly shake it until 2022. Obviously, it's much more pronounced in CC's case, but expecting established players to just accept and embrace the outsider who's not "like them" because it makes the entire league more popular isn't a natural human reaction.

Man, remember when everyone randomly cared about Iran's nuclear capability for about two full weeks? Seems so long ago.

Not nearly enough, apparently.

If memory serves, EA preemptively pulled the plug on NCAA 2015 in September 2013, a full year before the O'Bannon ruling came down. At the time, Johnny's shameless post-Heisman self-promotion party, questionable dealings and travel budget, and the Manziel family trying to trademark anything they could were all over the sporting news. If the NIL tea leaves weren't already obvious by that point, Johnny beat them over the head with the inevitability of it all, and the NCAA's toothlessness.

Evans has 82 catches for 1105 yards (13.5 YPC) and 5 TDs that year. He had 5 catches for 40 yards in the Bama game that basically cemented Manziel's Heisman. A great year for a freshman receiver, to be sure, but he was used more as a possession receiver in Kingsbury's offense. It wasn't until the following year that Johnny and Spavital very transparently put an emphasis on staying behind the LOS and proving to NFL scouts that he could throw the ball down field...and many turnovers ensued. In 2012, Johnny had 1400 rushing yards and 21TDs on 7YPC to go along with his 3700 passing yards. Before Lamar Jackson came around. There are plenty of valid reasons to take the shine off Johnny's Heisman (the SEC being down with utter garbage QB play that year being tops among them), but the narrative that he was just throwing up jump balls to Evans all year is just lazy and factually wrong.

In Phoenix's defense, hanging onto Booker in no way deters their short term plans of being exceptionally terrible at basketball in hopes of landing some good picks.

Man, I really have a tough time putting blame on Horner for the current car being so shitty that only a fucking wizard can make it competitive. Honest question: how much of the engineering side is a team principle overseeing/directing? Though, obviously, someone's head has to roll. But, yeah, the constant drama around the second seat has to fall on him. Their driver development used to be the envy of the grid. 6(?) of the current drivers on the grid came up through VCarb/Alpha Tauri. And now they're resigned to just let Yuki drive around the track with the rear markers for shits and giggles. Horner has either been too ruthless/impatient (Albon/Gasly), or, ironically, too sentimental (giving Danny what's supposed to be a development seat when they could have instead used it to properly assess Lawson).

I'd put my life savings on the monkey figuring it out first.
