i thought this was going to be about the groundbreaking Showtime sitcom:

Jeff Granger, the left hander who was also a stud pitcher for the baseball team, was actually the starting QB in 1992. he started the first 8 games but then left with a concussion against SMU. Pullig took over and never looked back. Granger focused on baseball after that and was the 5th overall pick in the 1993 MLB draft. but he didn't do much in the bigs. he had a negative WAR. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/grangje01.shtml

preach. as someone who works from home, i have ESPN+ on a lot in the background. i'll watch the most random Tuesday afternoon men's and women's college soccer games, volleyball matches, baseball/softball, you name it. hell, i had the Harvard/Yale regatta on one weekend earlier this year bc there wasn't shit else on. but ESPN+ will have something. and you have access to the 30 for 30 library, all the docs, PGA tour event early round coverage, US Open tennis matches from all the courts. just so much sports. i would have OD'd on this shit if it was around when i was 13 years old. and like others say, with the Disney+ and Hulu bundle, it's worth every penny.

that's why this is the single greatest political cartoon i've ever seen. it perfectly encapsulates how the rich are using poor white folks to make the rich even richer. just get them to focus on the browns and blacks while the poor white guy's pocket is being picked by billionaires. it's the greatest con of my lifetime. i mean, the rich have gotten these rubes to vote against their interests, and even believe in the Trickle Down theory, all by blaming immigrants and welfare queens.

I’d never seen this before.

i'd lock in Harris winning. and Texas still might win it all this year without the guarantee. let those chips fall where they may.

Let me introduce you to Old Glory Insurance.

Cheese salad was the bomb, too. man, OG Fireside Pies on Henderson was the hottest spot in Dallas for a spell.

motherfucker. BaD Radio doesn't fucking exist. hell, the Ticket is a shell of its former self. i'll talk about Dan, Jack, Rhynes, Sirois, Grubes, Danny, whoever the fuck i want to talk about that is Ticket related. go some place else for your Ticket talk and Better Call Saul didn't exist when Breaking Bad was on, so no, i didn't post about BCS in the BB thread. but did people talk about Breaking Bad in the Better Call Saul thread? absolutely. your argument sucks.

Pulisic bags a goal in the third minute. great run, great finish. fuck (as a Liverpool supporter). fuck yeah (as a USMNT supporter)

Watkins goal ruled out by VAR for handball. that was bullshit.

This is a fireable offense for the GM. Oh wait. He’s the owner? Can’t be fired?

Weston McKennie scores for Juve. up 2-0. Tielemans scores for Villa. up 1-0.

eh josér. i really do hope Allred drops the hammer on Cruz for the next month and a half.

Young Boys v. Aston Villa and Juventus v. PSV getting ready to kick off. Weston getting a start. Weah and Pepi on the bench. big day for @RamjetFDO i'd love to see Villa get the points here on the road.

Champions League starts back today. 3 days of games each CL week. New format. No groups anymore. It’s the “Swiss Model.” Each team plays 8 games for the first round against 8 randomly drawn teams - 2 from Pot A (the heavyweights), 2 from Pot B (second tier), etc. Top 8 based on points automatically advance to knockout. 9 through 24 (9 v. 24, 10 v. 23, 11 v. 22, etc.) play a 2 game playoff and those 8 winners advance to the 16 team knockout stage. So 8 teams will play 10 matches before they make the 16 team knockout stage, versus the old format where you only played 6 matches. That’s good for the fans, but you’re putting the health of these players at more risk, which could then impact league play. But hey, UEFA gots to get paid.

The MS-13 bogeyman doesn’t play anymore. So we need a new gang to make up phony issues about. Just gotta make sure they’re brown.

I think this is the commercial I saw watching football this weekend. Or a similar commercial calling him Cancun Cruz. Definitely more pointed. There may actually be a method to Allred’s madness.

don't stop being you, Allysia.

I'm watching the "ABC whistleblower" affidavit story snowball. I've been on the beat that "conservatives are shockingly stupid" but today they've reached a new high (or low). The eating dogs and cats rumors look like Pulitzer Prize winning work compared to this. Let's review. Earlier today, a random blog full of spam "reported" that there was an ABC News whistleblower who said Kamala got the questions beforehand. It also said that the whistleblower passed away in a car accident. The Gateway Pundit, definitely a right-wing site, reports that the website is called "County Local News" and will infect your computer with a virus. At 9:42 eastern this morning, an X account called "Black Insurrectionist - I FOLLOW BACK TRUE PATRIOTS" posted a supposed notarized document attesting to this story, minus the death part, with the name of the "whistleblower" and notary blacked out. It says that Kamala got the questions beforehand, and she and ABC agreed to only fact check Trump, among other things. That's it. That's all it took. I'm not BSing here. There is literally nothing else to this story. Just a random spam blog and a random anonymous account. So far, the following figures have either endorsed this story or shared it as something that should be treated as credible reporting. Marjorie Taylor Greene (reported the whistleblower's "death" and then "corrected" that the person was still alive, with still no evidence he actually existed) Ted Cruz Leading Report (558K followers) Kyle Becker (586K followers) Benny Johnson (2.7 million, recently revealed to be paid by Russians) George Papadopolous (1.1 million) Gunther Eagleman (921K) Libs of TikTok (3.4 million) There are many more major influencers, and there surely will be others, but you get the point. Kudos to The Gateway Pundit at least for not going along with this. Grifters will grift, but I think that MTG and Cruz are the truly shocking ones, and there will probably be other elected officials if there haven't been more already. Maybe with MTG you expect it, but Cruz is supposed to be a bit smarter. In his case, I'm inclined to think he's lying, which to me at least is a bit less disturbing than him actually believing it. Trump will probably start talking about this, and then we'll get more fake "evidence" fabricated to back up the original evidence, along with lectures on how MAGAs have been proven right and this is why nobody trusts the media. Incredible things are happening.

Yep. That’s the “strategy” here. Get the Dems to stop talking about Trump.

Here’s the shootout in its entirety. Go to 2:15 if you want to see the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
