Narrator: Three plays later...

Going 5-11 three straight years with Campo didn't get to him. He only hired Parcells cause he couldn't get financing for the new stadium with him calling the shots and the team rolling out 5-11 records every year. He left Parcells alone until the stadium financing was complete, then he started dicking with the roster again. Remember, Jerry was the genius who thought Quincy Carter would take us to the promised land.

Bears repeating. FWIW, Matt Rhule thought he had Joey McGuire lined up to be the next Baylor head coach when he left. Mack Rhoades, the Baylor athletic director, didn't think McGuire prepared enough for his interview, and selected Dave Aranda. McGuire was still on staff during the 2021 season when Baylor won the Sugar bowl, the only major bowl win in their history. McGuire left for Texas Tech the next season. When announcing McGuire leaving, Rhoades said he told him to get his stuff and get out. He's the enemy now. Aranda got a big extension and raise after the Sugar Bowl win. The only reason he's still there is because after last season, the BMDs were not willing to buy out the contract. I quit covering Baylor, and lost access to their 9.95 site year before last (I could not handle another Dave Aranda interview,) but at that time, fans were already asking why Rhoades went with Aranda. McGuire isn't all that and a bag of chips, but he is a competent coach. Aranda doesn't run the program. The program runs around him. I know nobody here gives two shits about Baylor or Tech, so dropping this in this thread. Baylor has dropped back to Kevin Steel and Guy Morriss levels of incompetence, and it will take them years to recover, if they do.

Is this topic locked?

You're right. If everyone is a blue blood... Then no one is. The thing is, you need some Larry Krogers (need the dues) without a bunch of Flounders and new rule, if you're not a blue blood, your cheerleaders MUST be hot.

They say the plastic straws strangle sea turtles. Now I have to go out and choke them one at a time.

I started to write more about this proposal, but this sums it up.

To really hate a commercial, it can't be just a bad commercial. It has to be a commercial that was horrible the first time, and gets repeated every ten minutes. I was watching Washington-Washington State. Great game, close, last quarter. Then for the 500 billionth time, the same two crappy commercials came on one after the other. Commercial #1. That Capital One commercial parody of the "League of Their Own," with the girl crying. Every Capital One commercial sucks, but that one sucks in particular, because of the whining girl. That was bad enough, but it followed with that fucking AT&T commercial where the morbidly obese bald headed fat fuck with the mustache is sitting on a horse in the dentist's office where his tween daughter with the "look at me, I'm an edgy tween with a semi-bondage choker" is in the chair, and the whole stupid commercial is a pun based off of "being on his high horse" because he got a Samsung Galaxy. That's like being on your high horse because you shopped at Dollar General.

Troof on what thunderlounge said, but also, Cavett's ratings weren't ever that great when he was hosting his talk show opposite Carson, and my guess is a lot of the tv brass thought he was a little too much of an intellectual who wouldn't have broad audience appeal. Letterman's success had the talk shows veering back to more absurdist humor and fewer serious interviews, so a comedy background was going to be more highly valued than good interviewing skills.

I finally beat minesweeper on expert level.

Nobody else is celebrating Jeff Fisher day? 7/9 is almost over.

Dan Marino should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. Would you like a cookie, son?
