  1. I don't know the best thread to put this in, but hell this seems as good as any. Apparently Falwell's immoral faux Christian diploma mill has a D1 football team that is playing in a bowl tomorrow. It is in something called the Mortgage Cure Bowl, whatever the hell that is. I hope they are beaten by a 100.

    You should be banned from starting threads because all you do is post lies, falsehoods and stupid shit.  You can post but no staring bad threads  

    You and Parliament should Thelma and Louise it together. 

    I concur with all of this, especially the last sentence.

     I have pretty much abandoned THIS version of the Republican party.

    Pretty much? Hell else you need to completely abandon the party for the rest of your life? This is who the Republicans have always been. Well at least the last 50 years or so this has been the brand. I was naive enough in my earlier years to have voted for a few Republicans. 

    Dotard is who they are and have always been. Now they have their brand of racism and cruelty to brown people in the storefront window and they are damn proud of that. There is no reset of the party. They will be swept into the dustbin of history.

    That article doesn’t discuss anything about the imminent danger trump poses to our democracy and his attempt to declare himself a dictator/king. When are you going to start posting articles about that? Maybe just once?

    Please quit arguing with a troll. Its brain is permanently stuck on FISA. I work with someone like this and they cannot take their focus off of one thing so I avoid them. This poster will just keep on keepin' on with their nonsense if you give it attention.

    Graham is the ultimate opportunist. This is a gentler way of saying he is a damn traitor who needs to be deported to Antarctica. He is the worst kind of human being. If the winds are blowing a certain way he will follow them.

    When Dotard loses and Lindsey claims he was trying to save the country by reigning in a dementia-riddled old man who has lost all control of his mental faculties, try and remember he said his best friend was John McCain. McCain was a man who hated everything Dotard stands for and yet Graham hitched his wagon to this shitshow with a shit-eating grin on his face and all the while cared nothing about his countrymen unless they were Maga supporters.

    Hail Mary was an awful decision. 

    And I was saying all 2nd half he should have replaced #8 on D. Put in 2 WRs at DB. They attacked #8 over and over and over.

    I honest to God have no clue what the thought process was there. He did come out of Rod Hess's old run and shoot where you just kept throwing, but man that play seemed doomed from the start. 

    I was getting updates from a poster here because I do not do well when it's nervous time so I missed many of the plays on defense. 

    I hope that hanging tough and losing a heartbreaker against the best team in their class lets them know they are ready to be that kind of program going forward. They should be right back in this round next year. Be awesome if the Battlin' Badgers finally knock that door down.

    I like this theme of teams getting to the championship game for the first time.  Go Badgers!

    Man I hope so. Carthage is the 800 lbs. gorillla. It would be one helluva upset. I am just happy, to borrow from Johnny Wheeler, that "Those Little 'ol skinny boys" have a chance to do something good. Lampasas has specialized in big upsets in the playoffs. This would easily be the biggest.

    4 teams in for Jerryworld!

    Hamlin destroyed Stratford 56-23 in 2AD2.  They'll play the winner of Mart-Falls City. 

    Good job Pied Pipers.

    I want to say this for Falls City. That town deserves to lose 100-0. I have never run across a more racist group of fans than them. 

    I will never forget this as long as I live. In 1998 Falls City played Bartlett in the playoffs. It was at Austin Reagan's stadium if I remember right. I was in college at the time and was asked to go video that game. Bartlett won, but Falls City fans resorted to racist ehpitets after the game. It was just so sad that see. I believe the QB for Falls City was named Roy Sixto if you want some proof I was actually there.

    Stepp's semifinals previews: https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2019/12/10/state-semifinals-preview-breaking-down-all-of-the-texas-high-school-football-playoff-games

    Have I mentioned that he's the only thing good about DCTF?  I'm sure Greg Tepper will be along soon with a fucking video of him just sitting there at a desk making predictions and acting like an assclown.  

    Matt is a good guy. I conversed with him many years ago about a school in Dallas. He loves what he does. He interviewed Troy Rogers over the summer. People trust him because he is honestly a good person. He is in the minority on that.  

    Tepper is flotsam. Not much else to say about him.

    Yes he has while many of his counterparts show almost contempt for any high school football outside of the DFW area.     In fact he was at the Alamodome for two consecutive weekends covering our playoff games.   He'll go to remote parts of West and East Texas to cover lower classification games as long as their is good food in the area too.  Tepper ,on the other hand, reminds of the prick you might know who thinks he knows everything and speaks like he indeed does, but you know he's full of chit and just want to slap him around.

    Matt does this because he loves football. He also used to post on 3ADownlow before the classes changed. He knew guys, one in particular that I was friends with, who went to small town games on Friday nights. 

    Matt really enjoys football. He's an Everman guy, but basketball was his first love. He is a genuinely good person. I respect him and he is living out his dream doing what he does. We should all be so blessed to have a job we love.

    I’ve been calling this for months. 

    Oh he'll show up. His narissistic personality disorder will not allow him to sit it out. Narcissists cannot handle not being the center of attention, especially so in Dotard's case if it winds up being Warren.

    Agreed, nice job by Swalwell.  He is very good at firing bullet points that cannot be refuted.

    He is really good at stating facts and driving home the point that the Trumpists are pathological liars, but to borrow from Brisket it means nothing.

    The people defending our democracy have the truth on their side. The traiterous cretins who are hell-bent on enriching themselves monetarily, while at the same time destroying what little shred of decency America has left, have the Senate on their side. 

    What a wonderful country we live in.

    Yep, going to the game.

    Great! I am trying to go. I want to be there to see this. Football up here, on any level, means very little unless it is bitching about the Giants or what high draft pick the Jets have next year.

    Does he realize they signed Wheeler? 

    He does. He does not like him. Hell I would be skeptical of any Met not named Pete, Noah or Jacob. I saw a Zach meltdown last year and my friend who is a Met fan was there in the Bronx. He just shook his head at the 9 runs in just a little over 4 innings. 

  15. I think Cole is going to have to turn down 7 years 310 million from the Yanks to go back home to SoCal. We will see if Boras has a client who says he will take less than offered. This should be interesting. 

    If the Yanks get Cole they are winning 110 games. They have not had an ace in the rotation since CC before he hit the decline stage.

    1-year deal for Didi to Philly. 

    Love Didi as a person. Told the Phillies fan I work with that Didi is easy to root for, but he just has to be okay with the multiple slumps he has every year. His response was "great, we need a pitcher". I told him to take Happ. No response...lol.

    when your president speaks at a 4th grade level, it's a constant reminder of the importance of education for our children.

    I remember 4th grade. This imbecile does not read above a 1st grade level, much less speaking like a 10 year old.

    They are actually arguing with me about analytics and watch time of the game.  They don't want to refund me the $10.  So I told them to keep it and I'll continue to share what a shit business they're running.

    Honestly that sounds like a business that needs to find a more customer-centric focus. Good Lord just say you screwed up and be done with it.

    Matt is a good guy. He loves his job. Have not followed his work in a long time, but he loves what he does. Wish we all could be as happy with our career as he is.

    This. I was actually in the stands when those Cedar Park fans chanted racial slurs and taunts at the San Antonio Lanier basketball team in the playoffs a few years back. That doesn’t mean all Austin fans are racist assholes. 

    Anytime I see a mention of the Voks I am pos-repping. The Voks upset of Lincoln in the state-semis in 2001 has to be among the three greatest upsets in Texas HS basketball history. Their freaking center, the only guy on the team who was over 6 ft, was 6'3 175. He was tasked with guarding a Charmin soft Chris Bosh and he did that. 

    I have a story about Lanier football I should share at some point. It is one of the funniest stories I have ever heard. It came from a football coach who coached against Bum Phillips in the 1957 state title game. I can't stop laughi g just thinking about it. I have been blessed to run across some amazing people, but the Lanier football story gets me everytime...lol.
