I think the same here as with Paul. If there is reasonable cause to believe an official is letting a personal bias impede officiating a game fairly then that official needs to be permanently taken off games involving that player. Officials have to remember nobody pays to see them and nobody cares one iota about seeing them. If they cannot do their job professionally they should not have it. Go officiate high school ball in Idaho if you can’t do your job properly. I am pretty sure I am mocking it and have done the same when talking to friends about the NBA.

Real snakes, fake snakes, Jake the Snake I don’t care. Feed these clowns to some snakes ASAP.

My friend that said Anna was going to win the title several months back is right. I switched over in the 2nd quarter of the Davenport game to watch them. They are ridiculously big and fast. He told me I’d be shocked to watch them play. That defense is the best I have seen from any 4A team I have watched and offensively that line is going to wear on Chapel Hill. Davenport got out-athleted, but that isn’t shocking. Next week Chapel Hill is going to face the same problem and get outcoached by quite a bit.

I don’t drink. Haven’t had anything in four years and do not miss it one bit. I found whiskey disgusting when I did. Have no idea how anyone drinks whiskey.

These false prophets/grifting frauds like this guy just all need to be sent to Snake Island. The entire lot of them. Throw them out of a helicopter and let them fend for themselves with their bare hands. I am so sick of these clowns saying things like this. He deserves any terrible thing coming his way.

Chapel Hill right back down. 7-7 two minutes in.

Davenport 7-0. That was just too easy.

Are you the long waited for Flying Spaghetti Monster?

We both probably have far different definitions of middle of nowhere. I lived once before in the middle of nowhere, but it was a blast to me to get to do it where I was. Most of West Texas can also be classified as that with the sparseness of people.

How does he average less than six rebounds a game at his size? This is something I just cannot fathom how he isn’t better at this aspect of the game. He had a grand total of two last night. What was that Barkley quote about a power forward and rebounding?

I honestly do not know that I have ever read their posts before, but noted for future reference. I think really what I find to be common about human beings that do atrocious things to other human beings is not a religious ethos or atheistic one or anything else. People who do awful things to others try to find a group that can either be controlled or manipulated. You see this with the uneducated GQP being weaponized through the use of a religion they barely have a passing knowledge of. China and North Korea, as recent examples, control countries through fear and intimidation and torture without using religion. The Middle East has countries where the uneducated are weaponized by distorting Islam and turning things into a jihad. People just look for ways to control a group of people that is large enough and powerful to help them reach their goal. That’s basically been human history from the jump. Humans looking to control others to get what they want will never change. Completely blaming religion for atrocities shows a level of intellect on par with GQP members etc…

I have a fairly decent amount of familiarity with that part of the state and Chapel Hill will match up athletically and be better in more spots than Davenport is used to. I will still take the Wolves by 7-10, but the score is going to be 40 plus for each team if the Wolves do not limit the ground game. If Davenport had more size up front I would take them by two TD’s, but the lack of size makes things very hard on them defensively.

It was hard watching that guy attempt to hit a baseball most of the time. They could have replaced him with one of the Bleacher Creatures out in RF and gotten the same production.

His Instagram has videos of him and his wife and the places they travel to. He gets around almost exclusively in a cart when he’s out. He was at the Bronx Zoo awhile back and I don’t think any of the video had him walking.

Hard to believe he turned 80 recently.

Also from Roseanne as well as he was Darlene’s boyfriend.

LeBron, the Lakers and the officials are on their way to the title game. I expect the officials to carry us to a win against the Pacers. The Purple and Gold will win this for LeBron and if they can’t well put in a call to 5th Avenue to make sure the Pacers do not win this.

Just left seeing it in the theater again! Time to now see Violent Night for the 2nd year in a row if it’s on Prime. Christmas Vacation is still the standard bearer for me on holiday movies though. 🎄🎄🎄🎄

You know what is always fun to read? That religion is the basis of all evil. Not that people who have no moral compass and instead co-opt a belief system to help them achieve their goals. It’s never that. Let’s get some history lessons on other religions. Let’s get some history lessons going now on people who wanted to conquer the world that had and still have no ethos based on ANY religion. That rant up above is something repeated ad nauseum every time this comes up. Maybe I missed it but did that ran include a reference to “The Invisible Man in the Sky” or the “Sky Daddy” as well? If not might want to update it for further rants. The absolute misery that envelops the lives of people here and elsewhere is incredibly sad. Enjoy the life you have and find a better outlet for your anger and disappointment than attempting to spread it onto others.

Oh he is absolutely going for this one…😂 You know he wants to wreck the Pelicans tonight and get to the final.

I don’t think anyone has any real attachment to winning it, but the games have been entertaining so far. Usually it’s hard to watch any NBA games not involving my team before the All-Star break, but there have been some really fun ones so far because of this tournament. Games with the Pacers have been pretty wild.

Nothing like celebrating the holidays while declaring openly that nazi’s are a-ok with the Texas GQP. Any of you sticking around in that state better be doing it for family reasons. If you can get out just do it and find a place to live where there is either some semblance of sanity, peace or both.

Season 2 of The Chelsea Detective is a big upgrade over the 1st season with the new DS. All the characters seem to have found their voice and it just feels like the team fits together better now. Vanessa Emme is the new DS by the way. She plays off Adrian Scarborough’s character much better. She was in 3 episodes of Bloodlands which was a really good show, especially if you want to root for a main character to get offed because the character is so imminently hateable.

No he hasn’t. Collecting a paycheck.

Oh so we’re just going to completely ignore NAIA?!?! I ignore it fairly well and I actually spent a year playing for one of their schools before deciding in two-days the following year that it would be more fun not getting a beat down every week and becoming a student assistant coach on the men’s basketball team instead. https://www.naia.org/sports/fball/2023-24/releases/FCS_Results I played against the Bethel College in McKenzie, Tennessee that apparently is now good at football (although they have been eliminated). Quite the game that was on a grass field shared with the local high school that had a big rebel painted on the grass. Tore that mascot up playing in 6 inches of rain that day. Semis are this week and Idaho also has a team left in it. The state of Iowa has a shot at a title as well. Maybe they’ll let Brian Ferentz join their staff next year as a quality control assistant or something.
