  2. I've never seen a back able to maintain so much speed through his cuts.
  3. Hopefully this is the prelude to putting Plonsky out to pasture.
  4. Tapafail this was meant for basketball forum. Maybe admin can move?
  5. We had a version of this thread on the old site, here we go again, Nerd Guy Ballin thread re-inspired it. Who plays pickup ball? I'm definitely square in the old-man category now so try to find old-man games - can't roll with the youngsters now. Always looking for additional olds to bring, we play 2x/week on Wednesday and Sunday nights at a court built for old dudes (indoor, hardwood, high school size or smaller) close to downtown Austin. Skill ranges from "hackashaq" to ex-college players but it's good fun, good workout and people actually pass. MSG me if you're interested.
  6. It's not that '47 Brand didn't renew, it's that under Patterson they wanted to eliminate everyone except Nike and Jerry Jones shit "We Are Texas" brand that make low-quality crap and (presumably) gives a bigger kickback to the UT. 47, Retro, and a few other brands were shown the door and not given the chance to renew. I've tweeted CDC about it, got the standard "I'll look into it" and nothing else yet.
  7. not sure what Forbes gives us that the million other wings we have don't?
  8. Are there rules around the physical, or can TOR say "oh he has a hangnail, he fails the physical."
  9. Seeing now that Kawhi's camp is saying he'll hold out instead of playing in Toronto. Wonder if the deal is baked or TOR is going to try to find a way to back out.
  10. We use Emerald Lawns to manage our program and they just sent me this email blast: Anyone have an opinion on this stuff - does it work?
  11. Obviously you should ring up PATFO with your hot take immediately! I'm sure they'll walk this back once they know you disapprove.
  12. They really should seek out the final solution to this problem.
  13. That's interesting. What is our cap situation assuming we trade Kawhi?
  14. Wow, surprised we couldn't do a vet deal. I thought for sure TP would end his career a spur.
  15. I've been wearing some Knoxville S by Electric for a few months and like them. My requirements: polarized lens option, sturdy, tortoise frame, "traditional" styling, not owned by Luxotica. I'm pretty sure that last one is true http://www.electriccalifornia.com/mens/sunglasses/best-sellers/knoxville-s-matte-blk-m-grey-884932300618.html
  16. First of all, good luck w/ that. I think he'll find that aside from straight up gross negligence, the law is pretty tilted in favor of the builder. But maybe he can get something on settlement?
  17. We celebrate the Fourth of July because that's the day the Declaration of Independence was signed, 242 years ago. You might call July 4 America's birthday. The Declaration didn't just declare our independence from Britain; it vowed to create a government that respected all people's rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It said nothing about patriotism. Or making America "great." America became great because the Declaration (and the Constitution that followed) set down rules that kept government small and out of the way. That let creative individuals flourish. When the Declaration was signed, the founders didn't know what America would look like. They knew, though, that they were sick of being bossed around by the British king, so they worried about government having too much power. Thomas Jefferson and his colleagues wrote the Declaration to assert that our "natural rights" could not be taken away by any government, and to set the stage for the creation of a government through which people could rule themselves. At the time, America was considered a backwater. Just a few years later, America had become the most prosperous, and probably the freest, country in the world. The Fourth of July is not about barbecues, fireworks, or even patriotism. It's about that idea: that people have the right to rule themselves. Ironically, government has grown so much since the founding that you might not even be able to buy fireworks where you live. In much of America they are now illegal because government officials have declared them to be too dangerous. Yet the Declaration and Constitution weren't written to make government provide for public safety. The founders assumed that was something adults would do for themselves. The founding documents are about freedom—about limiting what government can do. "Trust no man with too much government power," wrote Jefferson. "(B)ind them with the chains of the Constitution." It's good that the Declaration and Constitution have those "chains." No matter how insistent the state's busybodies get, they may not arbitrarily search our homes or jail us. We have a right to bear arms, to practice whatever religions we choose, to exercise free speech and more. Growing government has eroded some of our freedoms, but we still have more freedoms than most countries in the world. Consider the country we declared independence from, Great Britain. Authorities there recently locked up a man merely because he made a Facebook live video outside a courthouse. He wanted to draw attention to child abusers on trial, but Britain's government puts limits on what reporters may cover. England has no First Amendment. Some people who write critical things on Facebook or Twitter get visits from police. Great Britain also has no Second Amendment, and has far more restrictions on guns than we have. That hasn't stopped crime. London had more murders than New York City this spring. Now London's mayor wants "knife control." Really. One British police department even bragged about its "weapon sweep" that confiscated "scissors and pliers." But don't worry, tweeted the Regents Police Agency, they were "safely disposed and taken off the streets." I'm glad I live in America, where I can carry pliers around. And speak freely. Of course, the Constitution has more limits on government power than just the ones stated in the Bill of Rights. The Constitution divided government in ways meant to limit authoritarian politicians from any party. President Donald Trump's own Supreme Court nominee rebuked the man who appointed him, ruling that a Trump-advocated law making it easier to deport some immigrants was too vague. The Court stopped President Obama almost a hundred times. It's a good thing we have both the Declaration and the Constitution, with their curbs on power-grabs by presidents and legislators—curbs on judges, too. Unfortunately, those limits on government haven't exactly kept government small. Thomas Jefferson wanted "a wise and frugal government" that leaves people "free to regulate their own pursuits." Now we've got 180,000 pages of federal rules and $21 trillion in debt. Still, the Constitution and the Declaration have helped keep us mostly free. That's something to celebrate this Fourth of July. http://reason.com/archives/2018/07/04/a-reason-to-celebrate-this-fourth-of-jul/print
  18. I remember a similar story from back-in-the-day where the sales guy hired a consultant/lawyer to “clean room” his contact list, e.g. show an alternative path to each. E.g. “No we didn’t steal that client, here is a search we did on LinkedIn for ‘Director of IT in Texas at companies with >500 employees’ and there he is. Anyone could do this!”
  19. The fact that we're quoting CBA language in this thread about failure to render contractually agreed services and talking about the viability of suing a top 5 player shows how shitty a situation we're in.
