  1. What makes you think I was being defensive? I was simply responding to your comment with a response of my own about how I think Twitter is filled with right-wing trash so it shouldn’t be cited as a credible source for research. I don’t base my opinions on what other people think. I’ve seen the evidence and read the lawsuits and I have enough courage to side with Justin Baldoni even though Candace Owens & Megyn Kelly (who are MAGA minions and are full of shit-which belongs in CR) side with him too. I don’t just follow blindly and side with Blake Lively because MAGA (who holds political views completely opposite from my own) dislikes her too.
  2. The researcher analyzed the Top 500 tweets about the topic on a right-leaning platform. Of course they’re all pro Baldoni. Everything on Twitter these days is inorganic and not an accurate representation of the general public’s sentiment on an issue. It’s like doing an analysis of the top Surly tweets about aggy and seeing that the overwhelming majority of posters love Texas. How about an analysis of the top posts on Bluesky? In his analysis of the top 500 tweets on the subject, he found that support is overwhelmingly pro-Baldoni – sharing hashtags like #BlakeLivelyIsALiar and #JusticeForJustinBaldoni – “by a ratio of 1:150 to 1:300, depending on which metric you use”. Judging by the age of the accounts and the number of times they have posted, “I would estimate more than 80% of pro-Justin Baldoni posts are inorganic,” Chen says.
  3. In your example of a twist it is NOT Quinn’s fault that he got sacked. I have no problem giving Quinn props for when he makes a play and when others fail around him. I do have a problem with some people not recognizing when Quinn is at fault and start pointing the fingers at other teammates around him. My example of the sack near the goal line is to counter Steam’s argument that self sacks is a bullshit subjective statistic when my example shows clear as day that it’s a self sack. But then you start throwing in “well what if it’s a twist, is it Quinn’s fault?” Of course a twist is not Quinn’s fault, but you have successfully detracted the argument away from Quinn being at fault for creating a self sack into arguing about what constitutes a self sack in itself. Great way to take the heat off Quinn in this discussion.
  4. You QAnons always add caveats to scenarios where Quinn looks terrible but blame someone else and it’s never Quinn’s fault. Here’s a screen grab from the Film Guy’s analysis on the game. Quinn’s leg can be seen by the 0 score. It looks like a clean pocket if he just steps up. But then you throw in all this other DE-DT twist shit to distract from the fact that Quinn fucked up. Just own it. Thats where the discontent is on this thread. That Quinn is never at fault when we can see it clearly on the game film. It’s not about his political views either. I don’t give a fuck if he supports Trump or Kamala or Jill Stein. When you make excuses and redirect blame for a person without any accountability the way some of you Quinn supporters do, that’s the fucking cult behavior Derka keeps blabbing about because Texas Football is so above blatant homerism like that.
  5. A self sack is when Quinn doesn’t step up into a clean pocket after his OL is doing everything they can to block. Don’t you remember Georgia 1 where Quinn got tripped up near the end zone? The pocket was clean. Just step the fuck up Quinn, the space was there. Kelvin Banks whiffed on blocks during that game but that play near the end zone where Quinn fell was not one of the missed blocks by Banks.
  6. The media reporting on Ewers keeps saying he had no choice but to enter the draft and he slid to the 7th round because he was considered too good to be a backup holding a clipboard on the sidelines. They also implied he couldn’t transfer because of the playoff. Here’s an excerpt from another article from CBS Sports: Quinn Ewers' agent slams NFL teams for draft slide after Texas QB falls all the way to Round 7 Evers never entered the portal because Texas was in the midst of a playoff run. He couldn't have been the starting quarterback for the Longhorns had he entered the portal, leaving him to ride things out with his team and pursue a national championship. Basically it was return to Texas or enter the NFL Draft, even with the spring transfer portal taking place from April 16 to April 25. That's too late for a player like Ewers to learn a new offense with practices limited. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/quinn-ewers-agent-slams-nfl-teams-for-draft-slide-after-texas-qb-falls-all-the-way-to-round-7/amp/ The notion that Quinn couldn’t have transferred because of the playoff is untrue. All players on CFP teams have a 5-day window from their last game in January to transfer. This is weak shit from his agent and publicist who are doing damage control. Quinn needs a new agent ASAP instead of some guy who is also the president of the Southlake Dragons Touchdown Club.

    Hozier as the #2 headliner? I’ve only heard one song from him and that was like a dozen years ago.
  8. This sounds like the article with this headline: “Quinn Ewers’ agent blasts chickenshit explanation for QB’s NFL Draft fall” An NFL draft slide sometimes doesn’t come with clarity or a pinpointed explanation. Agent Ron Slavin feels that was the case with his client and former Texas quarterback, Quinn Ewers. Slavin told ESPN that he reached out to “half the league” the day after the draft to find out why Ewers had such a big slide. The answer, he said, was “chickens–t.” ”They thought he was a third- or fourth-round pick, but too big of a name to be a clipboard holder,” Slavin told Archer. “Which I think is chickens-t.” In other words, NFL teams thought that Ewers, who was the No. 2 recruit out of high school and was ranked No. 7 of the quarterback prospects by ESPN for the draft, was too big of a name to have as the development quarterback. It’s one of the consequences discovered in the NIL era of college football. https://nypost.com/2025/05/04/sports/quinn-ewers-agent-blasts-chickens-t-explanation-for-nfl-draft-fall/ So according to Quinn’s agent, he was too famous to be drafted sooner? Sounds like he needs a new agent ASAP. This whole article sounds like chickenshit. C’mon man…
  9. There’s a bingo place in Austin offering a $2 tariff free bingo computer. Like WTF. How much are the full tariff bingo computers? The bingo people are hardcore and I would not want to piss them off.
  10. HEB should just play some high pitched noises that only the dogs and kids/teens can hear that would immediately make them want to leave the store.
  11. I’m not saying “Sark was milking the QB controversy” I’m just saying that Quinn wasn’t so bad to the point where he had to absolutely be pulled for Arch and then all of the spotlight is immediately on Sark and Texas because Arch is the new starting QB. I believe Sark was cautious and let his 3rd year guy do his thing even though people like me were bitching about his performance because we wanted Quinn to be better. It wasn’t worth the risk to Quinn’s career and position on the team plus the added spotlight it would bring on Sark’s personal life to have Arch be the guy when Quinn helped get us near the top of the mountain two years in a row. In hindsight it seems better that Sark decided to start fresh with Arch as QB this year instead of the whirlwind it would cause replacing Quinn as a starter mid-season.
  12. The couple publicly announced they were jointly filing for divorce in July 2024, they reconciled in November 2024, then she announced she had a baby in April 2025 and the public had no clue she was pregnant.
  13. Sark didn’t want the attention that came with Arch being the starter. It’s a safer bet to let Quinn play out the rest of the season if him and Arch seemed comparable in their skill level. Especially with Quinn being a 3rd year starter with CFP experience. It keeps the media focused on the Quinn vs Arch debate and away from Sark’s personal life with Ms. Loreal. They decided to divorce prior to the season starting and then reconciled and had a baby in April without the public noticing she was pregnant. Sark didn’t want the extra spotlight on him plus the added scrutiny on Quinn if he was pulled for Arch. In hindsight it just seemed easier to let Quinn play out the rest of the season, let Sark pull his personal life together behind the scenes, then let Arch and the team have their coming out party start in the offseason once Quinn officially moved on to the NFL.
  14. Only 8m? She must’ve bought post-pandemic. She has a long way to go before she reaches the wealth level of the Dr. Phil “cash me outside” girl
  15. Yeah but how many followers does the meteor have? That’s all that matters in the outcome of things.
  16. He should’ve seen the signs way ahead of time
  17. I have a suspicion we evolved towards walking on our back legs solely for the pounding leverage and not for hunting optimization.
  18. She looks 24 and 40 at the same time. I’m gonna need an extreme close up of her hands to confirm her true age.
  19. When did he ever hit a guy in stride on any throw? Even the check downs were thrown in a way where the receiver had to adjust to the dump off. Too bad he never moved. He is not even close to “throwing on the move or off balance” and his throws were never in the breadbasket or in a position where his man wasn’t getting rocked to make the catch. Like the fake against Kentucky where he fumbled even though NOBODY touched him? He fakes himself out more than anyone. If he could conquer his mental demons he would be on another level. His interview with Gruden showed how fun and personable he is when things are focused on just football. I was very impressed he had such a personality on him. Golden loved Quinn too.
  20. Is Quinn keeping the same agent? If he doesn’t get better representation then he shouldn’t expect better results. I was worried for Quinn when I saw his Hulu commercial and realized the other guy in the commercial with him was his agent. Shit like that plus @Thatguy saying how miserable Quinn was because he was being treated horribly by Texas fans made me think that he has bad representation and is having so much smoke being blown up his ass that it’s going to cause a dumpster fire with his stock in the draft.
  21. Aside from the logical explanation of pussy being undefeated since the beginning of time, it could also be a very real possibility that (no CR) she is either a Mossad or KGB agent compromising college football with her mermaid propaganda and the public is too stupid to see it because they’re blaming NIL for everything.
  22. I’m happy for Quinn getting drafted into the NFL, it’s not an easy feat. But for a guy who was a 1.000 5-star recruit QB for the Texas Longhorns, I don’t understand the crying at being drafted in the 7th round. I know it’s the culmination of a lifelong dream, but Quinn was crying like he got picked in the Top 10. I would think he’d be pissed and stoic getting picked so late with all the hype surrounding his career. Part of me thinks he was crying at the relief of not going undrafted. Those 2 FCS QB picks by Pete Carroll at the end of the 6th round must’ve been a dagger for him.
  23. I remember in school they would have a simulation where the fire department came and reenacted what happens if you got into an accident drinking and driving. Sark needs to do this with the football players to practice getting pulled over so they can learn how to keep their mouths shut around the police.
