  1. Not 100% if this is accurate... but
  2. So it looks like Turkey sent them a drone and the drone has found the wreckage and are directing the search party towards the crash. They are live streaming .... My guess, after how long it has been and how cold/wet it is up there, anyone that may have survived impact is dead anyways...
  3. Only took like 4 hours but...
  4. All the news has now shifted to we will know in 2 or 3 hours and that the rumors they have found and investigated the site are "incorrect" at this time... Screams to me that they are all dead and are going to try and lock down everything they can and announce it late at night (its like 8 or so Iranian time right now). There are already reports of celebrations and fireworks from pockets of folks celebrating his death...
  5. FYI... open the tweet and hit translate....
  6. So how is it a hard landing when they can't get in contact with the craft afterward? That is a crash.. My guess is that it will come out that they crashed into the mountain, much like the Kobe Bryant situation, and it was tied to pilot error and poor weather conditions... The tin foil hat contingent will say that Mossad used their satellite-mounted directed EMP ray and used it to force the helicopter to crash in the mountains...
  7. I wouldn’t go as far as saying pro-Putin but he has been very leery about any potential escalation of the conflict from an Ukraine/Russia war to a full on NATO/Russian war. I don’t agree with his stance, but I can understand it due to Slovakia’s location. NATO member or not, they are one of the small fish that conceivably see a war on their doorstep and a large potential for civilian casualties in a conventional engagement. I disagree because appeasement has never been shown to be a successful longterm strategy, but I understand the argument.
  8. Hold on to your butts... No telling where this goes and who gets blamed for what...
  9. So if they continue on with this collage approach for the NCAA cover, how many years will it be before Texas does t make the cover and how long till A&M does? The collage idea is great NIL marketing because it’s not paying any one player the premium to be on the front and it allows EA to make sure they can highlight both the top teams/fan bases overall and still drop in here or there a lower tiered NIL payout to smaller names in other payouts. The problem with approach the is the A&Ms of the world are going to be limited on how often they will ever get a player on the cover. They aren’t a big enough brand to get thrown in as background filler over other SEC teams. They aren’t going to be ranked high enough to be featured in the first few tiers of player images and they aren’t the main regional draw now in their conference so it doesn’t even move the needle from an SEC style secondary regional design… The real question needs to be who makes it into the cover collage first: A&M, MS St, or Auburn?
