  1. I thought he was contrasting Idaho and Iowa. I stand corrected. People will miss your unintentional comedy factor, @Spankytoes
  2. I can assure you nobody here gives a flying fuck what YOU think.
  3. I’d dump a bucket of Astroglide in there and go do my thing, but…
  4. Thanks Obama! I still am at a loss why the industry would support this guy. Also, there’s another Bloomberg article about how BP has ditched their green initiatives.
  5. But we are better than everyone. Despite our weaknesses.
  6. I’d submit that most everyone on the planet has both slaves and slaveholders in their ancestry. This thread went predictably. A negative aggregate rep OP starting probably a disingenuous thread, easily drawing people that are inexplicably defined by elected leaders offsides.
  7. Hard to pull away from the ticket and the listenership is getting younger. And, Drew’s getting laaaaarrrrrrrger.
  8. You sure about that? With streaming? I’ve gotten some young bucks in my office obsessed with the ticket and all they do is stream. I agree with your general premise but Ticket listenership is pretty unique. I know they’re a bigger piece of a shrinking pie, but I’d be surprised if their numbers were not still increasing.
  9. The anus?! I don’t think so… The heinous. You’re a flawed guy.
  10. I’ve never supported him in my life. I hate the man.
  11. That is not at all what I said. And this board is so politically quick on the trigger that I was pretty harshly negged for it, so I’m just going to fuck off and forget any discourse.
  12. The entire global order needed to be uprooted. He could’ve accomplished a peace deal without dressing down VZ, calling him a dictator or saying this was Ukraine’s fault. And he would’ve been celebrated for it. It’s embarrassing but I’m not going to enter your paranoid territory.
  13. It blows my mind how anyone could support him still. And I’m not exactly a staunch Ukraine supporter.
  14. I can’t believe VZ sat there and took it. Trump is such a fucking clown. He is also masterful at getting people to lower themselves to play his game. If I’m VZ, I don’t agree to be videoed in the Oval Office and if I’m ambushed there like that, I get up and walk out. He needs Euro help, and fast, and needs to forget even returning the US’s calls. I’d also boot the US embassy personnel from the country to the extent they are still there.
  15. Edit to add this $ amount is the monthly settlement amount, not total. In theory if it settles $8.50 every month, I’d owe $15.5k - per month. However, if it is settling at $8.50, the reason I’d be ecstatic is because my cash flow would more than double from where it is now.
  16. I’m gonna rewatch The Firm and Unforgiven. You need to rewatch The Birdcage.
  17. Nico would respond he’s trading him for a 4-time all NBA 1st teamer, 1-time 2nd teamer, a 5-time NBA All-Defensive teamer and a 10-time All-Star. I’m not Nico, so I already know the response to that. On PJ and Gafford, there is luck involved. I think Kidd did a fantastic job integrating those guys and getting Kyrie to play at the highest level without it diminishing Luka’s contributions. That’s why I was so mystified with @dcar00’s confusion on why he still has a job. I’ll always root for Cowboys, but I don’t care if they lose, and I don’t root for any other team. They lost me in the Garrett years and it’ll probably never resume until Jerry dies. If Mavs win a champ, this’ll be forgotten. I want Luka to do well, but don’t really care about him winning MVPs like I used to.
  18. I’m just not the biggest Unforgiven fan. Honestly The Firm and Crimson Tide are down on my list because Hackman’s a bad guy or the antagonist. My favorite non-comedic roles of his where he clearly has an edge but has a good heart. MB and Hoosiers are my favs as a result.
  19. And for the record, Luka is a better player than Dirk, and it’s not particularly close. I just loved Dirk as a Hall of Fame, Top 30 player of all time, even with his weaknesses. Largely because of who he is as a person. As Charles Barkley said, he’s the nicest man ever.
  20. It hasn’t reached that level for me. I like Luka. Don’t love him - his game has weaknesses and his demeanor leaves a lot to be desired. If this had happened to Dirk in ‘07, I’d be crushed like in Game 6 of the WS. But that’s just me, and I get that. So I personally could get on board with trading him, but would want a LOT more. And I wouldn’t trade him after a Finals run.
  21. Disagree. Partly because of the national brand, and partly due to his ego, Jerry doesn’t see any diminished version of himself if the team performs poorly or he does or says something stupid. Jerry is the Cowboys in his eyes; it is mackbrowntexasfootball.com personified.
  22. It won’t if they win big. For me, I’ve been a Mavs only fan since NBA consciousness. It won’t go away unless the Adelsons move the team. Which would be a strongly contested move and if successful, one of our billionaires in town will start a new franchise and I’ll root for them. Im 46. Boys won Super Bowl year I was born and when my NFL consciousness developed, Boys were on their downslide. I loved as a teenager watching those 3 Super Bowls. We were the team of the 90s. I’ve met Jerry personally twice in small settings, and he’s a charming fun guy. He has mismanaged this team so terribly in various era over the last 25 years, and who he is ethically have me so turned off by him that when the Cowboys do very well, I enjoy it but know they’ll implode in the playoffs because of Jerry. And when they don’t do well, I truly do not give a shit because it’s Jerry’s failure. I no longer have a vested interest in that team. For the last 25 years, I’ve been a much bigger Mavs, Rangers and Stars fan, and probably in that order. My only two sports heartaches - anything approaching Horns losses to Tech in ‘08, Colorado in ‘01 or playoff losses the last two years - have been the Mavs collapse in ‘06 and moreso the Rangers in ‘11. Any Cowboys loss since San Fran in ‘95 NFC Champ hasn’t sniffed that territory.
  23. I literally said “more classless and tone deaf”. The ongoing whisper campaign is stupid and I’ve said that multiple times. But it’s better than a smoking gun presser where Nico publicly trashes a player trying to justify the idiotic trade. Again, the problem is a) the trade and then b) the utter lack of relative return for it. There is no c) action that can take any pain away. To reiterate, there is nothing that can be done but let time and hopefully success on the court to heal wounds. So, Mavs, shut the fuck up - don’t have any more press conferences and don’t leak stuff whether true or not. I strongly suspect the whispers have a lot of truth to them, but it does not matter one iota. They gain nothing by letting anything out of their building.
