  1. That last drive might have been our most impressive one I've seen all season. I told Mrs. Wood (no pics) just before it started that we were running the ball so well that we should just run it every play on this drive until they stop it. They couldn't.
  2. No doubt made in China like the rest oif his crap. And he's gonna slap tariffs on 'em? We'll see.
  3. Seriously. We could live pretty got damn well on $600K a year. WTF?
  4. This was pretty good ...
  5. Yeah I wondered about that as well. Was it voluntary, or forced? Was it just a typical retirement, or who knows what? I don't think many people, if any, saw it coming.
  6. Does Little Elmo only wear 'Occupy Mars' tshirts?
  7. Maffei? Who knows? I haven't been following this closely for a while, what with current events lately & all. No cr. I asked a friend of mine & he says he'll know more about it next week. I assume that means he'll be around the Paddock in Vegas for business. He's usually good for some info. If I hear anything I'll pass it on ... Also, I wonder if Michael stepping down from Andretti factors into this potential change of heart.
  8. Huh, so there are rumors about an Andretti announcement in Vegas, for the 2026 season. Supposedly the DOJ and Liberty have agreed to everything now that Maffei is gone. Also EU is now pleased with Andretti entry and won't investigate them further. But who knows. Oh, and Eddie Jordan says Andretti will be on the grid in 2026 as well.
  9. 100%, and to be clear I'm in agreement with @956 Worldwide . Not sure if that was clear before. I'm a Navy brat who's been around the military most of my life, and I think most people would be shocked at the level of disdain with which people like Trump and others are held in the military. Re: recruiting, that's one of the first things I thought of. Gonna make it hard for recruiters to recruit if the sales pitch is "Hopefully you won't be one of those sent to the border, sent to man the detention camps, or sent to round up immigrants".
  10. And how much will it compromise national defense?
  11. So, what's next? A draft?
  12. Yep. I think many people would be surprised.
  13. Yeah Jackson County, Tennessee has a pretty rough history in general, going back at least to the 1800s and further iirc. When I was about 13 in the mid-70s, I lived in Cookeville, in Putnam County, which borders Jackson County. Where I lived we were maybe 5-10 miles from Jackson County and about 20 miles or so miles from Gainesboro, which is the biggest town in Jackson County with less than 1000 people. Putnam County is rolling hills, now along I-40. Jackson County is rough, beautiful foothill country, which probably explains why so few people live there. I can remember my Dad, Papa, my uncles, etc shooting the shit about all kinds of different trouble they got up to back in the day. There was one recurring theme that stood out to us soon-to-be driver's licensed boys. "Don't fuck around in Jackson County". The olds told us those people are 'mean as shit', 'rather cut you than look at you', 'mean enough to keep out the black folks, and a whole lot more'. 'Don't think they'll give a damn about you just because you're white', they told us. The gist was that the area is overrun with criminals of all sorts - moonshiners, their runners, squatters, people just hiding from the law, etc, etc. Law is crooked. Everyone's on the take. Can't trust any of 'em, so if you go in there, you're on your own. They said there's just no point going up there because generally the best outcome would be if you get back home without getting robbed and/or cut and/or shot, white or otherwise. Say one wrong word or look at someone or their girl the wrong way, and you're in for some seriously bad shit, so don't bother. Basically a whole county full of violent, lawless freaks, kinda like the bar in Mos Eisley, the caravan park in Snatch, or the break room in the Trump White House. Sounds like nothing much has changed. Out in those hills, time moves a lot slower. For an idea of the kinda folk I'm referring to, check out the movie "Lawless", about the Bondurant family in the 20s in Viginia.
  14. That was excellent, and I loved this response as well ...
  15. Yeah Tyson wasn't Tyson as we remember him, but I do believe that he still had enough in the early rounds to hurt Paul. He just didn't want to.
  16. No, I mean Canelo. Paul has called him out multiple times, but Alvarez isn't interested. I'd love to see it though, because if Paul did some of the shit he did last night against Old Mike, Alvarez would put him in the hospital.
  17. Conservative Jonah Goldberg has some thoughts on Gaetz, Gabbard, RFK, Hegseth, and senators' obligations to the constitution. Pretty, pretty good. https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/gfile/the-worst-pick/
  18. Oh, please let this dbag fight Alvarez.
  19. 1. Serrano was fucking robbed. 2. Netflix can eabod & diaf.
  20. Damon Hill OUT. https://ctrk.klclick.com/l/01JCS2NR09FX6KAF56VE8SNRFS_3
  21. Yep. To LM/FOM, the bottom line isn't the most important thing. It's the only thing.
  22. I have to say I feel a little uneasy laughing at this misguided, obviously emotionally disturbed woman, whether I like her politics or not. She's a few slices short of a loaf and needs professional help. But, I haven't been following her journey. I guess she could be a terrible person who deserves all of it. Wanna be internet famous? I guess this kind of thing comes with the territory.
  23. Yep, and tonight I stopped watching at the end of the 2nd quarter and I'm trying to pick it up from the start of the 3rd, but the "watch from beginning' option isn't letting me skip ahead at all. It starts from the beginning and you can't do shit. Normally I can, but tonight shit's broke yo.
