  1. Good: Weather Winning Women Bad: AC/DC 5 times (including remix) Bob Cole Ugly: Students leaving game early
  2. Brent Venables was the architect of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He’s cultivated it since the fall of the Soviet Union. He’s now planning to restart an Irish civil war to really stick it to Bono for celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall.
  3. In the Fall 2019, Brent Venables was enjoying some raw pangolin at his favorite Wuhan market shop before wandering into a nearby science lab and breaking some beakers marked sarscov2. A week later he took some Tylenol to help manage his flu-like symptoms before traveling to Rome, Madrid, Paris, London, before his trip back to the states, visiting family in nursing homes in New York, San Francisco, LA, and Seattle. Really, a world-wind tour. Next summer, he’s looking forward to his trip to the Congo.
  4. Brent Venables is the Vanderbilt baseball whistler
  5. It looks like we need more coaches-only meetings. What we’ve seen that is a pattern: 1) More conservative play-calling in 2nd half 2) Disconnect between units on defense 3) Players playing that shouldnt 4) Players repeatedly playing undisciplined and/or with poor technique over seasons 5) Tipping plays 6) Conceding plays 7) Players playing with low IQ 8) Inability to make adjustments These are all coaching issues
  6. Any legal eagles want to weigh in? “You can lose a trademark in a variety of ways. You can lose a mark through abandonment. A mark will be considered abandoned if you stop using it for three consecutive years and you have no intent to resume its use. You can also lose a mark through improper licensing or improper assignment.”
  7. One of the biggest sports scandals. Kick him out of the hall of fame
  8. Oilers are worth next to nothing to the Adams family. The Texans franchise value would increase about a $billion if they acquired the Oilers rights. Everything has a price.
  9. Counterpoint: Sark wanted to hire Mike Stoops and was overruled
  10. People are ignorant in part because many parts of our media do not inform and are influenced greatly by amoral capitalists or ruthless totalitarian governments. Britney Griner is a political prisoner, but any comments section and discussion forum (ahem) are dominated by posters who show her no sympathy and believe she deserves the punishment. She’s a political prisoner. There’s a rise in Americans being arrested around the world to be used as leverage by totalitarian governments. They’ll contrive offenses if they have to and step up surveillance. As a pro athlete in Russia, I’m guessing she was made certain promises about her security and had expectations that she would not be targeted. That she didnt put 2 and 2 together in time and take extra precautions after the invasion of Ukraine is tragic.
  11. Yeah, NIL wont matter if you go 4-8 and show horrific tape. NIL thousandaires want to become NFL millionaires. So they’ll transfer to other programs and get more “NIL” money. We recruited well under Mack, then he became lame duck and we had transition class and attrition. We recruited well under Strong, then he became lame duck and we had transition class and attrition. We recruited well under Herman, then he became lame duck and we had transition class and attrition. Right now, I’m seeing more head coaching deficiencies than talent deficiencies. Sark is trending towards being on the hot seat in year two.
  12. Trump is good at branding and putting his name on stuff He’s also good at avoiding liability and laundering money He’s only good at things that feed his narcissism. Trump doesnt do operations and does not actually run things.
  13. GOT universe wasn’t about character development as much as cultural development and what fear and greed and the environment and beliefs do to humans. And what drives these people. What the world is. Early GOT was similar to The Wire in that regard. The show needs to breathe, but this last episode could have been the series premiere and I’m guessing it would be a better starting point. They could have made this episode into 2 or 3 episodes. Things like the Kings decision to tap out his wife could have been a dramatic confrontation or confession in the present. Just like when Tyrion and Cersei fought over his role in his own mother’s death. Great scenes. Better than actually seeing it. Get some blood boiling and direct conflict at times. This past episode was closest to GOT, and the early episodes reminded me of the dreary storytelling of Dune, except without stunning visuals throughout.
  14. Comparing this show to early GOT is like comparing a rookie to Jordan. The first 6 episodes could have been pared down pretty easily
  15. “I told you Uncle Nate was gonna break, and he did” “I said it doesn’t mean anything to beat Uncle Nate, we got some positive rep, that’s what it means.'' “He should keep posting, there’s a reason he doen’t want to keep posting and it happened today”
  16. A conspiracy to traffic Venezualan migrants is right under his lose
  17. I think he’s a Morlock or a Grendel or some other literary creature
  18. Would it be significant if there was a 9 sec call between Dick Cheney and one of 9/11 hijackers in a scenario where it actually was an Inside job?
  19. Gotta recruit more brownshirts. Then, when you secure power and politicize the army and police, you arrest or assassinate their leaders.
  20. Thanks for your contribution to this thread. While football and current event discussion is interesting, we’re all just here for your grammar takes. FYI: If you’re going to footnote a correction, your asterisk needs to have a corresponding symbol in the text.
