  1. Both defenses are so keyed up, you gotta run some kind of misdirection.
  2. FYI, he also stated he's adding a 10% tariff on everything from China on top of any tariffs on Chinese imports that are already in place:
  3. Sheeeet, MAGA runs all the branches now. Moose out front shoulda told you.
  4. Can't wait for avocados to cost $10 each. I mean, 90% of them consumed in the US comes from there. I'm sure plenty of people will be accepting of an avocado "tax" their favorite restaurant starts charging as well.
  5. Your giant programs with community and district support (Lake Travis, etc) sure. They can cover that. But you get down to A, 2A, 3A schools...they recondition helmets yearly. They send them in to get checked out, and if they pass, they can reuse the shell yearly (up to 10 years). If a helmet ever fails, then it has to get scrapped. So, a small school like that might budget for a dozen helmets a year, with reconditioning for the rest of their inventory. Yes, they could make up with pie suppers and other fund raisers, but schools generally just don't have that kind of cash flow to purchase 50 helmets a year. Source: I've had two former head coaches live down the street from me. In the 90's, it would cost around $400 a kid for football. Today, game pants are around $100 a pair, and jerseys around $70 each. That's for something simple. You want to look like Oregon? Or go with sewn on numbers? Prices are going to go up. Helmets and shoulder pads have gone up quite a bit. Now, I have no idea of the size or district/community support of the school that Mayfield made the donation to. But they needed the donation. And there are hundreds more schools like that coast to coast.
  6. You priced helmets lately? The Vicis stuff goes for $1200 or so. The higher end Riddells are around $500 each. Retail pricing, and I'm sure he got some kind of discount. But the days of $100 helmets for high school kids are long gone.
  7. Stay classy, Elon. https://www.wsj.com/tech/musk-unleashes-online-army-on-federal-workers-a-tough-way-to-find-out-shes-losing-her-job-f57a2e94?st=v5Qcvf&reflink=article_copyURL_share
  8. Today we learned that NBC's legal counsel might not have been paying attention during their contract talks with the Big 10. Also, NBC still has not signed their contracts: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/11/22/big-ten-football-noon-kickoffs/
  9. Eh, he pissed off Mark Wayne when they were in the house together over something, probably trivial and that was enough. It wasn't because of some new-found morals and dignity on Mullin's behalf. Probably was pissed that Gaetz never shared his stash of nudie pics or invited him to an orgy or somesuch.
  10. Not loathsome enough. Not only does the person have to be loyal to Trump, they have to be someone that pisses off everyone else.
  11. And for those of you still using cable internet: Cable companies and Trump’s FCC chair agree: Data caps are good for you https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/11/cable-companies-and-trumps-fcc-chair-agree-data-caps-are-good-for-you/ Edit: Have no idea why the copy/paste struckthru that block of text.
