  1. Now do the song that went with the scene in the movie.
  2. Dolphins retros are infinitely better than their everyday unis.
  3. Wyoming becomes third school to cancel game against women’s volleyball team with transgender player By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Tuesday, October 1, 2024 Another women’s collegiate volleyball team has forfeited its game against San Jose State University, a team with a transgender athlete, putting pressure on the NCAA to bar biological males from female sports. The University of Wyoming said Tuesday evening that its women’s volleyball team would take the loss rather than play San Jose State and standout redshirt-senior Blaire Fleming, identified as a male-to-female transgender student. “After a lengthy discussion, the University of Wyoming will not play its scheduled conference match against San Jose State University in the UniWyo Sports Complex on Saturday, Oct. 5,” said Wyoming spokesperson Chad Baldwin in a statement. “Per Mountain West Conference policy, the conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Wyoming.” Wyoming became the third university in the Mountain West, an NCAA Division I conference, to withdraw from its game against the undefeated Spartans. Southeast Utah and Boise State already had refused to play San Jose State. None of the schools has given an explanation for refusing to play, but Fleming’s participation on the San Jose squad has been hotly debated since Reduxx broke the story in April. Those cheering the university’s decision included Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon, who said he was in “full support of the decision by @wyoathletics to forego playing its volleyball match against San Jose State. “It’s important we stand for integrity and fairness in female athletics,” the Republican governor wrote on X. The decision came after Republican state Sen. Cheri Steinmetz circulated a letter among state legislators urging University of Wyoming President Ed Seidel and Athletic Director Tom Burman to forfeit the scheduled match. “We assure you; the majority of our constituents do not want the integrity of Women’s Athletics to be decimated by the participation of males who overall have superior physical strength and abilities to women,” said the Oct. 1 letter. “We the undersigned Legislators urge you to cancel this match and reconsider your policies regarding DEI and DEI in Women’s Athletics at UW.” San Jose State has not commented publicly on Fleming, who transferred to the California school in 2022 after playing at Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina. Fleming has the second-most kills and points on the 9-0 team, trailing only redshirt sophomore Nayeli Ti’a. But last week, Fleming’s teammate Brooke Slusser joined a lawsuit against the NCAA challenging its policy allowing male-born players to compete in female sports based on gender identity. Idaho, Utah and Wyoming are among the 25 states that have passed measures barring biological males from competing based on gender identity in female scholastic sports. San Jose State’s next match is Wednesday against Colorado State University in Fort Collins, which is unlikely to forfeit, given that Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill last year making Colorado a “transgender sanctuary” state.
  4. WNBA players fell flat on their "Like a Good Neighbor" auditions... Ray Lewis didn't make a lot of commercials. Michael Strahan is all over the place.
  5. So the Vet had it right, eh? Bring back the ole Stadium prison.
  6. If not the middle 3 of the OL, Chris Jones is absolutely the MVP of the Chiefs. He wrecks shit. Even when he doesn't directly make the sack or tackle, he is fucking shit up so that someone else gets the play.
  7. Lost their #1 RB and #1 WR and get everyone's very best effort. LOLz. Yeah, they suck. That defense is the problem. Mahomes and Kelce are distractions right now. SD didn't score after the 1st Q.
  8. and Worthy seals the deal. Great play
  9. Hunt has been a BAMF, in reestablishing the run. The Chiefs were 1 dimensional early and they were taking on water, bigtime. So many times HUnt gets 4-5 yard on 1st down...then let that playbook bloom!
  10. Romo has lost whatever good announcing he ever had. He's just rambling mumbo-jumbo now, if he wasn't before.
  11. Interference on the Kelce play, but they don’t call it. Favoring the Chiefs and all
  12. Given the "Fuck you, I'm in this for me, even though we're all on welfare!" attitude of the WNBA in general, it's indicative of a different mindset by a leading player.
  13. Dating all them gals that weigh more than you do is a dangerous sport with your continued loss of muscle mass and strength. Maybe Total T or some shit will carry you for a few years. Happy birthday!!!
  14. The Fan Duel commercial is actually my favorite commercial in a long, long time and I don't even play that stuff. However as a former partaker of football betting, this commercial absolutely captures the essence of degenerate gambling, but no, we're gonna leverage it as a positive experience that you should seek out! "It's parlay time!!!", as in," this one bet will get my whole week right." Opens the freezer, and his head is in there calling out team names. I laugh every time he says it's parlay time. It's hard to believe this shit is on TV.
  15. "Grayson Rigdon won't be making plays like that in 11-man football." Columbus vs Bellville
  16. A legit sanctioned, regulated sportsbook like Circa doesn’t need to influence outcomes of games, and they’d be ultimate morons to risk their gaming license over that behavior. I took it at face value of a Vegas business entity investing in its local image. Maybe I’m naive as hell, too.
  17. We’ll see. Personally, I think it would be a disaster. They will out execute/ out discipline/ and out-grit anyone; but they don’t have the trench monsters to hang with the big boys in any playoff game. They damned sure don’t have elite speed at the skill positions on either side of the ball. Notre Dame @ Yankee Stadium looms in November. That’ll tell a lot, and ND isn’t elite either.
  18. Their schedule has been shit. a slate of nobodies, whom they have beaten, but shit teams all of em. They might be in the conversation at the end, but they are much more likely to be about 9-3.
  19. Broke the streak, and it's still my favorite tribute jersey. 'twas my son's Firsty( Senior) year and they partied that night like no evening ever in their 4 years on the Hudson. We were just visiting about it this past week and he told me, "Dad, me and my buddies( all of whom I have met) almost got our Roy Orbison tattoos* that night! but some squid kept fucking with( one of the guys) and instead we almost had a rumble in the bar." Just one more layer of the pageantry that is Army-Navy. *think Waterboy, but the Army kicking mule.
  20. Had no idea you were friends with Joe Pesci, the narrator.
  21. How many non athletes have you entered official NIL agreements with? why?
  22. I said nothing about the merit of NIL. You inferred whatever you personally inferred for reasons unknown relevant, for that matter. Pay for play is not nefarious at all. It simply describes the situation for what it is. Again, it is ludicrous for you to insist these exchanges, or contracts, are driven by anything other that a person’s attachment to the Athletic department of a respective school’s boosters. It is not some random act of a business agreement, so just fucking stop. It doesn’t mean NIL is good or bad, nor does it place any moral value on what people offering/ accepting NIL agreements do. They are legal agreements, to your point. They are still a construct to avoid legal/ labor regulation and provide a more regulated( lol) medium for paying participants of college sports.
  23. NIL is just so nuanced that the common man cannot understand it.
  24. a legal agreement with a construct to protect the school from labor issues, in which money is exchanged for being a part of the football program. You aren't explaining anything that people on here do not understand. It's the operating under the guise of sanctity and just completely random good will that always benefits a football/ basketball program that is absolutely ludicrous. It doesn't require your admission either. It's not even that the work is good or bad; but it's absolutely pay for play.
