  1. In no way am I defending the trade but this is a ridiculous comment on multiple levels.
  2. He’s 100% right. Best thing Mavs ever did was hire the Nelsons, the younger of whom outlived his usefulness. They were responsible for Finley, then Nash and Dirk. All here because jackass bought the team. Then, Cuban pissed away the back half of Dirk’s career after the lone title. Lastly, Donnie scouted and drafted Luka singledhadedly. Cuban oversaw a 25-year period with all of his assets predating him and being pushed on him. All the while presiding over a Pants DJ and becoming an attention-whoring grandstander. Then he sold the majority to absolute sharks. He has always been a mostly terrible owner and has now irreparably fucked this franchise.
  3. He a) is a total jackass buffoon, and b) knowingly ceded control when he brought the Adelsons in.
  4. I don’t want Mark Cuban around any Dallas sports team.
  5. Fake Natalie Maines doesn’t belong in that categorization. Cruz in Aledo is such a dork.
  6. Are you the Fake Vlad Putin? Funniest thing I heard this week was discussion of Dave Toub being touted as a hot candidate when the Cowboys hired McCarthy. Dave Toub is the longtime Chiefs ST coordinator. The Hard Line all openly wondered who the hell he was and Davey subtly commented that that was the name of his fleshlight.
  7. It wasn’t directed at you. I just happened to quote your post. It was supportive of @gsoda3’s post, while also agreeing with you that this isn’t serious business and this site is moderated fairly. I just don’t care to get into a pissing match with imma.
  8. 3 SUVs with one teenage driver. My “littles” are turning 15 in 2 months and 13 in 6 months. I am fucked.
  9. I wasn’t aware they blocked roads. I’ve been duped. I still don’t see leadership near the quality of MLK and some other blacks of the civil rights era or Ghandi in any of these movements. I’m aware of early Christian periods, but I’m not sure why you’re lumping them in here. Did they protest? Cause chaos? Tell me more.
  10. I don’t recall ever hearing America thought he was the most dangerous negro in the land but rather than was ascribed to Malcolm X. And I’ve read quite of unflattering MLK datapoints. I do agree with the basic tenor of your post. The memorializing of the man today is quite a reduction.
  11. Not really, but glad you find my flawless logic funny.
  12. I disagree with your first paragraph, but mainly because of the reports of leadership. But I don’t really know, and I know they had several instances of blocking traffic. I agree with your sentiment of the subject thread here. And I have a more favorable opinion of Abbott than most.
  13. That is funny. But that’s a kid wasting his time and trying to get attention to be funny. This is also funny: But neither dude would get a reaction from me if I walked right past them.
  14. Yes but some have just causes. War being one, and back in the mid 2000s, I disagreed with their cause (I feel differently now). Protestors today block roadways, ruin art, and generally make people AGAINST their cause. Contrast that with what King did. Regardless if 2/3rd of the country saw him as an uppity negro in ‘66, there is no comparison.
  15. I was not one of them. I was born in 1978. But I get your point. MLK is viewed favorably now, but I doubt the professional protestor/crazies representing a suite of causes from the Tea Party to Hamas to Just Stop Oil to January 6th will be viewed favorably with even the most generous range of hindsight.
  16. None. Feelings. Money, kids’ school, marriage, work concerns, investment concerns, vacations, watches, Argentina work trip, drinking, my weight, my health, my mortality, my Dad’s health, my kids’ health, my insurance premiums, my insurance coverage, my status as a soon-to-be owner of 5 cars. Off top of my head. All concerns of varying import. Nothing ever vocalized or discussed here. All weigh on me.
  17. I don’t. I never should’ve offered feedback. I saw several others that shared my sentiment and I spoke up in agreement, and perhaps unlike them, I post in CR. I do not care that a person I do not know, and does not know me, thinks I’m an idiot. He’s probably right that the issues that me and others have written about here wouldn’t change, specifically, what he’s talking about. I probably shifted his concern to what irks ME about this place, and I know it irks a large swath of posters here. However, he continues to insist that pervasive and divisive political talk here isn’t an issue, and he’s wrong. It’s an obvious fix, too. But it’s also really easy to just walk away from, so the State of Surly doesn’t crack the Top 25 of my life’s concerns.
  18. No, we’re about as fucked up and divided as we were in the 60s. You think the modern-day protestor helps or exacerbates that divisiveness? Protesting Iraq and Afghanistan wars were worthy causes. I stand corrected. It’s doubtful this board would deem women’s suffrage and Dr. King’s civil rights marches neither as unnecessary nor grandstanding.
  19. Nah. That was different. Note my use of “modern”. Words are important.
  20. I’m not good with any modern protestor. I think they’re all whining grandstanding whores.
  21. Lol. I’ve got plenty of support. I’m out weirdo.
