  1. Owens is targeting Ryan Reynolds and claiming he is the mastermind of this whole ordeal. Not surprisingly, her theories seem off the mark to me.
  2. I got off Twitter and I'm unplugged from the political landscape. Has Candace Owen pivoted to celebrity gossip now? She is definitely all over this case.
  3. No fucking chance that I root for Sirianni or Philadelphia. Will just make a bunch of player prop bets and cheer for both teams to lose.
  4. Knowles to OU never made sense to me. Feels like their program is imploding right now. Total circus.
  5. The starting point is Baldoni's lawsuit: https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/baldoni-v-reynolds-lively.pdf But it's 179 pages. Filled with texts that provide context and the general picture. If you'd rather watch a 2 hour video of two smart girls discussing it, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oazdIT4pzEk These young ladies initially supported Lively after her accusations were released, but have done a 180.
  6. James Simon is definitely someone to keep an eye on. His dad, John Simon, had a cup of coffee in the NFL and has coached for the last 10 years or so. OTF did an interview with him, super impressive guy. Gerry Hamilton likes James Simon a lot. I believe he said that Simon is a little over 200 lbs now and his dad thinks he can eventually get to 215+.
  7. From a non-Cowboys fan perspective, this just looks like a troll hire. This is a 'fuck you' from Jerry to the fans. I didn't even realize Schottenhemier was already your OC. LMAO. He's gotta be one of the shittiest coaches at any level.
  8. Baldoni's lawsuit is filled with a lot of evidence and text messages. It is thorough. Lively's team initially accused Baldoni via the NYT and wanted this to play out in the court of public opinion. I think they thought Baldoni would lay down, but he fought back. The response so far from Lively's legal team is requesting a gag order. They fucked around and found out.
  9. Here is Baldoni's 179 page lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds : https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/baldoni-v-reynolds-lively.pdf If you don't want to read it, go watch some YT videos from people who have.
  10. Here is a pdf of Baldoni's lawsuit against the NYT: https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Justin-Baldoni-LASC.pdf
  11. Take a breath, man. That post you're referring to I explicitly said I initially believed LIvely's accusations, partly because he is so vocal about his faith.
  12. You are projecting. You already admitted you haven't followed this situation closely. There is plenty of evidence to counter your argument, nobody wants to take the time to post it though.
  13. I know all the evidence hasn't come out yet and I'm being presumptuous, but this is shaping up as a classic case of narcissistic abuse. The Narcissist: Blake Lively The Victim: Justin Baldoni The Flying Monkeys: Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Swift, Colleen Hoover, and the rest of main film cast Watch this video with those roles in mind:
  14. So much of this stuff can be solved by accepting and remembering a simple phase: "It's not about you."
  15. The Cam situation is tough. Could he go to a bad team, start, and average 20+ a game and be a bigger name? Yes, IMO. I get it, the kid wants to be a star and make $$$. I'd guess Ime had a good talk with him and his body language is noticeably better. Will be interesting to see how his career plays out.
  16. When Lively initially made the accusations about Baldoni and I briefly heard about it, I fully assumed she was telling the truth. I only really knew of Baldoni because he's a Baha'i (my family is too) and he - along with Rainn Wilson - are probably the two most well known celebrities who openly talk about their faith. And my first reaction was "of course this pious acting person ends up being an abusive asshole". I'm full of cynicism and it makes sense to me. But then the accusations were countered with actual evidence, and it's clear that Lively is a real piece of shit. That's not to say Baldoni isn't, I don't know. But so far in court of public opinion, Lively is understandably getting crushed.
  17. Last night our band opened up for Nether Hour at The Continental Club in Houston. Anyone here seen them? They reside in Austin. Goddamn, they are fucking great. We had no business being on the same stage as them. Just found this killer cover.
  18. A powerful and narcissistic abuser has been exposed and will have to pay the consequences. That's a good thing and a win for society. Maybe the details bore you, but I'm sure you agree with the above.
  19. Glad they let Slowik go, but Kubiak comes from the same coaching tree. Hmm.
  20. I like to see narcissistic abusers, whether male or female, get their comeuppance. We live in a world that is increasingly accepting of this abhorrent behavior, and any case that exposes these pieces of shit is good thing.
  21. I think it's one of 2 scenarios: 1. Lively told all of them during filming that Baldoni was harassing her, and they believed her. Even if they didn't see anything. 2. They know this is a total power play, that a prequel (and more money) was going to be made, and they chose to get behind Lively/Reynolds as they are much more powerful in the business. Classic Hollywood bullshit to people to turn a blind eye for their own survival.
  22. They know they are fucked. I've seen some people say Lively's PR and legal team should back off of everything, say she had PPD (she had a kid shortly before filming), and that it affected her mindset through this ordeal. Won't happen, but that's how bad this is for her.
  23. The cast (including Jenny Slate) and author (Colleen Hoover) also took Lively's side from the start, and they will all feel the blowback as well. Hoover deleted her IG yesterday. She had 2 million followers. All her young female readers are furious with her. This is a ridiculously long deep dive in to the case, but these two young women are intelligent and easy on the eyes if you want to get into the details. They initially backed Lively when she made the accusations, and have now done a 180. This is a powder keg situation and will create long lasting ramifications in Hollywood IMO.
  24. If this case goes to trial, my guess is: 1. Blake Lively's career is over. It might be over already. 2. Ryan Reynolds's popularity and therefore his movie career will take a significant hit. 3. Taylor Swift's involvement will lose her some fans. Not anything noticeable, but her public persona will get dinged a bit. Some Swifties are already vocally disappointed. Not a good look when you (with collaboration from your husband) publicly accuse someone of abuse and harassment, and the receipts end up showing you are the actual abuser, manipulator, and bully. Women, understandably, are fucking pissed with Lively as the evidence mounts against her. The gaslighting from the Lively camp is PR suicide.
