  2. They will sell by the dozens.
  3. The NCAA men’s basketball tournament is the worst offender.
  4. The score ticker under live sporting events is outdated and an eyesore. Everyone has access to scores on their phones. It takes up screen real estate and spoils scores of games you have saved to watch. It had it’s time but it is time to take it out to the barn and put it down
  5. He’s back
  6. Not sure why they are giving Holiday his minutes.
  7. We need to find a real rotation before conference play and i don’t think we will.
  8. Alpi had an awful first 8 mins and it snowballed from there until the last 4 mins of the game. They allowed all physical play and he just couldn’t convert. Frustrating to watch SGA drive and find high percentage shots for himself when they struggled shooting from the outside. Drawing fouls etc. It feels like Green has the ability to do it but he just doesn’t.
  9. "When you single out one player, it creates hard feelings, so now you’re starting to hear stories of racism within the WNBA, and I don’t want to hear that." DD: Why did you do this white people?
  10. Owner just confirmed we are a second class team. Will be fine when Yordan is wearing Yankee pin stripes.
  11. At least she is recognizing the racism coming from all of the WNBA players. Apparently so bad Clark felt the need to apologize for her skin color. "Why couldn’t they have put the WNBA on that cover and say, ‘The WNBA is the league of the year,’ because of all the talent that we have," Johnson said. "When you single out one player, it creates hard feelings, so now you’re starting to hear stories of racism within the WNBA, and I don’t want to hear that." Johnson went so far as to claim that Clark’s attention and the minting of the term "the Caitlin Clark effect," which has been associated with the attention she has brought to the league, is because of race. "It’s the way media plays out race," Johnson said. "I feel really bad, because I’ve seen so many players of color that are equally as talented, and they never got the recognition they should have." The Mystics' season finale against Clark's Indiana Fever was moved from the Mystics' home venue, the Entertainment and Sports Arena with just 4,200 seats, to the Wizards' venue, the Capital One Arena, which has a maximum capacity of 20,356 for basketball games. As a result, the Sept. 19 game between the Fever and Mystics was the most-attended WNBA regular season game in history, with 20,711 fans in attendance. "It has taken the WNBA almost 28 to get to the point where we are now, and this year something clicked with the WNBA, and it's because of the draft of the players that came in, it's not just Caitlin Clark, it's Reese," Johnson said. "We have so much talent out there that's so unrecognized, and I don't think we can just pin it on one player." Translation: we failed for 27 years to generate fans and interest and one player boosted our attendance 50%+ in just one season. WNBA has a problem with their league being full of racists. Sad
  12. Tucker in Copperstown without an Astro hat pisses me off. Sell the team if you can’t keep one home grown player like Tucker. We will be chasing the Mariners for a wild card spot.
  13. Final 4 easily Home Alone Bad Santa Elf Christmas Vacation Top two would be facing in the semis
  14. AAAA status confirmed Fuck off Brown
  15. These three need to be on the court the majority of the game. Subbing out Mark at the 4 min mark in the first half should stop
  16. need a $100 ish sports watch for my old man; he won't wear anything nice for fear of messing it up. Doesn't like digital, needs to be durable, waterproof etc. Timex, Garmin??
  17. Total ATX budget was $5.9 Billion (subtracted $2.4 Billion to get to the $3.5 vs $3.4 number). Is there an additional expense I am not accounting for? And agree on SATX, first noticed with how they handle their homeless situation better than most. per google AI San Antonio has made significant progress in reducing homelessness, and is considered a leader in the field: Decreased homelessness Since 2011, homelessness in San Antonio and Bexar County has decreased by 11%, while many other large American cities have seen significant increases.

  18. Austin City Council approved its $5.9 billion 2024-2025 budget — a $400 million increase from last year and the city’s largest budget yet. Well over half of the spending will go toward Austin’s essentials. The city’s largest departments — Austin Energy and Austin Water — make up 41% (or ~$2.4 billion) of the expenses. $3.5 Billion vs SATX $3.4 Billion 2023 population ATX 979,882 SATX 1.495 Million https://atxtoday.6amcity.com/city/austins-2024-2025-budget?_amp=true
