Caitlin Clark …. Seriously
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.

Johnny (football?) Manziel
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.

Johnny (football?) Manziel
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.

Formula 1 2025
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).

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Man, never in a million years did I think that I would miss the days of my dad taking a bump of Drudge every morning. Now he's mainlining Truth Social, OAN, and Newsmax every hour he's awake. And Drudge is a socialist.

Formula 1 2025
I've said it before, but, other than Max's sheer brilliance, Horner's assholery is about the only thing holding that leaky ship together. Going to get real interesting now. Max wearing black seems like a good fit.

Jesus. Did you tell them to go fuck their own faces? I like previews--like 3, 4 tops--but half an hour is fucking absurd.

Fake news, man.- Epstein and Maxwell
It's like when you have to tell your kids there's no Santa. Yes, people who have lied constantly for 9 years about everything all the time are still lying.- Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
Trump is an absolute moron in almost all regards, but always having someone to blame and take the fall that isn't him isn't one of them. If there's one area that he's playing 5D chess, it's there. Dude was planting the seeds for blaming Biden for a possible Iranian terrorist response during his term the day after he ordered bombs dropped on their heads. Patel, Bondi, Bongino, Hegseth...all just future fall guys that are too dumb to realize it.- Texas -- a failed state
Of course he does. And it's all so fucking boring.- The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
But is he going to stop listening to him? No, no he is not.- Epstein and Maxwell
They won't. That's the beauty of the cult. You can profess to know the contents of every single email on Hunter's laptop, but you can completely ignore and pretend that you've never heard about all the things that make it 99.6% likely that you voted for a pedophile on three separate occasions.- Louisiana House of Reps passes bill to ban chemtrails

Pretty sure Max could drive a toaster into Q3.- Kevin Durant Longhorn Legend
Did they talk about the time that KD mandated that Nash be fired?- NBA Offseason Thread 2025 - Fuck OKC
One of the worst picks I can remember. Even in the moment. Luka's floor was "maybe he won't have the athleticism to dominate the NBA, but he's going to be a solid pro for a lot of years." Sacramento took a flyer on a big--when, at that point, the game shifting to the perimeter was obvious to see--because he "filled a position of need" for a team that was nowhere near competing for a title. Staggeringly dumb.- Is Tulsi Gabbard A Russian Asset?
Well, if there's one person that you should take at her word, it's Tulsi Gabbard.- Netflix Recommendations
Old Guard 2 - spending considerably less on choreography, sound/music, and CGI, reversing the major revelation from the first movie in the lamest way possible, having the audience ask "That's Uma Thurman??", and giving everyone a terrible haircut for a movie whose sole purpose is to set up a third film is certainly a choice. - NBA Offseason Thread 2025 - Fuck OKC
