  1. what law or contract did they break that results in financial damages?
  2. Can one of our surly lawyers explain like I’m five why these lawsuits are able to go back in time for damages? The rules in place by the ncaa were based on voluntary participation in a sport in their league. Why are these lawsuits able to prove that anything was against the law by the ncaa? What is the hook the lawyers have used?
  3. I just bought one for an ear that went bad due to an inner ear disorder. I decided to buy a high quality one because my military buddy said the one he got from the VA was problematic. I chose the Oticon Intent 1. It’s $3k for each ear. But it uses AI to optimize sound in your ear. I’ve been extremely happy with it so far. I’ve had none of the issues otherscomplain about with theirs. My MIL also got Oticon Real, a previous generation design and she loves them. Phonak has a brand new one that is coming out that is supposed to also be hot shit. But it wasn’t available yet when I purchased. Spend money on quality. You wear them all day every day.
  4. Except for this brilliant observation, the rest of you need to relook at the thread title. It’s unpopular opinions, not dumb ass stupid opinions.

    Media Bias

    I’ve seen this same sort of response from cloak room haters for 8 years now, including myself a few times along the way. And there is a bit of that. However, in this instance and frankly more often than not the people criticizing you are providing facts, nuance, and solid analysis, while the person who feels “persecuted” strikes back with propaganda, low effort wrong opinions, and garbage. Feel like you’re being attacked? Stop debating like a 10 year old. The people supporting Trump right now fall into three categories: a) uninformed, b) wanting to preserve their considerable wealth like Elon, or c) bad people (racists, nationalists, etc). That’s it. If you were truly informed there is no way you’d vote for him. He’s unfit to be President, just as his ENTIRE CABINET has said.

    I could have guessed. Physicians are known in the VC community as gullible rubes. This is such a genius post. The thing that amazes me about the latest rube incarnation Conqweef is that you would think after years of reading this site, which is full of a lot of pretty smart people, he would finally start to examine his own stupidity and realize that he’s been completely fooled by a bunch of propagandists with alternative agendas. But no, he just continues to never learn a damn thing. He’s as dumb today as he was the first day he joined this site so many years ago. It’s amazing someone can have that low of an IQ.
  7. This sure seems like culture rot from the inside. It explains why they haven’t looked very good this year.

    MSNBC isn’t like Fox in peddling absurd disinformation but it is clearly deeply biased to the left.

    You are incredibly gullible, like many others. The reality is that those media outlets do deliver mostly balanced news and not propaganda. The only dangerous damaging outlets are the Fox News, MSNBC, Brietbart, etc. that are on the outer edges. But data isn’t something you apparently are able to understand. Only the gullible misinformed spew complaints about the “mainstream media”, sounding like Rush Limbaugh.

    No, a way for you to potentially restore a shred of dignity for your reputation, should you be able to make a valid case.

    Start a CR thread on it and post the falsehoods.

    I’m so confused. Why is a trash article from a garbage business like Brietbart being quoted multiple times here.
  13. Independent in Travis County Leander here. My R voting has been dwindling for years, like a urine stream after five minutes at three in the morning. I think I’m straight ticket D this election, maybe for the first time ever? Any indication of heavy religious focus by a candidate now automatically means a No vote for me. Eff the hypocrites.

    Good luck trying to do that.
  15. Sooners fall again, Longhorns rise in morning light, Burnt orange shines bright.
  16. Some mentally ill, some just really dumb and gullible.
  17. Went to bed early. Saw highlights on Sportcenter. On the Dak interception in the end zone, what did Lamb say to Dak on the sideline?
  18. I wonder whether Trumps lies about the hurricane in NC will backfire. There is a lot of press right now about the lying. Maybe NC tightens up?
  19. His college resume is very suspect. Basically one year at OT after playing at TCU as an unimportant player. Yet the Cowboys spent a first round draft choice on him. Ridiculous risk.
  20. QB 101. When you’ve held the ball for several seconds, THROW IT AWAY. Idiot. No excuse for a veteran QB to do that.
  21. Texas 23 OU 14 Texas 162 yards rushing OU 142 yards rushing spread 20 yards.
  22. Georgia has not looked good in several games and lost to Alabama, but still will be ranked well ahead of them? They are getting a little too much leeway.
  23. Oklahoma - shouldn’t be that good, but sigh Sooner Magic Georgia - still dangerous as expected Vanderbilt - Much better than expected Florida - Looks bad but improving Arkansas - Much better than expected Kentucky - Much better than expected A&M - Much better than expected A lot of folks believe some of these teams aren’t a lot better, but instead are beating teams that aren’t as good as advertised. There’s maybe some of that. Missouri isn’t a top ten team, and maybe Tennessee isn’t either. But I have a feeling Texas is in for a rough road. They have the talent to win them all; do they have the focus?
