  1. Thanks to today’s sponsor, Nord VPN. Hit that like and subscribe button. It really helps out the channel.
  2. Ah. Gotcha. Well thanks for helping where and when it counts. I’m enjoying this era.
  3. “We’d really like to get your help on crafting a compelling retention package for a player of need.” “Nah. Fuck that guy.”
  4. The other factor is job security. Dilly could probably ride this CFP run for a good ten years at ASU at $6mm/year without being at risk. He’s a native son and they love him. They’re going to be pretty generous with him if they hit any downturns. Sure, a $12mm/year job seems like the ultimate goal, but those jobs come with very high expectations and short fuse. Be a coach at ASU for, possibly, the rest of your career at 75% of market rate or take the gamble that you can turn around a big name program but get probably 3 years to do it?
  5. Haha. I was just hanging out with a friend of mine who’s a Cal grad. He’s basically given up on his fandom. I told him “You’re a lawyer. There must be a bunch of rich Cal alums that can be convinced to an NIL fund.” He was surprised that the whole Texas NIL initiative was just a bunch of dudes on a message board. /Paul Rudd/ Look at us now!
  6. Right. That’s what I thought. They cut into it right as the ball was snapped right?
  7. The throw to Helm happened so suddenly. It almost seemed like a replay. It was a great play actually that seems to have been lost in the discussion completely, ironically because it’s actually the game winning throw.
  8. I feel like he’s overcompensated for overthrowing In the past. This is a his who has a TikTok video throwing it 75 yards in high school. He’s obviously got the arm strength but seems to rainbow long passes when he has too much time to think about it.
  9. I hate the guys with fucked up hair. That’s why I disliked Quinn from the start.
  10. Meh. I’m as critical as anyone on Ewers but that’s asking a lot at that speed. He saved 5 points.
  11. Really a masterful job with that photo backdrop.
  12. Right. So even if he goes on an amazing, historic run of Anti-Martingale betting at a $25 BlackJack table he’d hope to have a nice run in the $15-20k vicinity and that’s very rare. A good win that’s not outside the norms at that betting level is $5-10k. That’s a huge win for most folks but it’s different for a guy who makes $7mm/year. I’ve seen people go on those runs but 99% of the time you’re losing that money. They don’t build the casinos by giving money away. The risk to wealth ratio makes this sort of a boring game. I’ve played lousy $1 tables with I’ve been downtown and it’s hard to actually care about it because you’re not going to win a lot even if you do well. I used to play a lot of Blackjack. I went to Vegas a lot with a friend of mine. He sat down at a table with some old lady at the Golden Nugget. It was a $100 table but the lady was betting $10k minimum per hand. This goes on for a while until she losses maybe $100,000, gets up and leaves. My friend is just kinda shocked. When she leaves the dealer tell him that the lady is Ray Kroc’s widow.
