  1. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1XPxFnRs9Q/ People regretting their votes already. Trump is going to have to kick Elon and DOGE to the curb to regain their trust and win these people back, so he can win a third term in 2028...
  2. Well, it was fun while it lasted. 🤢 https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/43937353/spurs-shut-victor-wembanyama-blood-clot-shoulder
  3. Well at least he learned a valuable lesson. Next lesson is living with bad credit scores, repo men and maybe bankruptcy court. But I mean, how could this have been avoided?
  4. If only there was a cheap, safe, proven, effective option for these people...
  5. A nice review of the current state of the NBA against some previous decades offense. A rebuttal to the "they shoot too many 3s" arguments.
  6. I think there is also a significant issue with players tanking their trade value once they know they are on the block. Luka could publicly say he will not sign an extension anywhere but "team X" and make the Mavs forced to take less ideal players from that team instead. Plus putting him on the block is an insult and ensures that Luka has little to no interest in re-signing with the Mavs either. We saw other players tank their trade value this season, like Jimmy Butler and De'aaron Fox did, and I'm sure the Mavs didn't want to deal with that. That doesn't mean you make that Lakers trade, but it means to get the "best" value for a player like that, you may not want to make public or risk having it leaked early.
  7. But Javier, McCullers AND Garcia are on the way! 💪💪💪
  8. Astros vs Dodgers in the World Series would be pretty funny. Which side would the rest of the MLB take? Would it be like KC/Philly in the Super Bowl, where most fans chose 'meteor strike'?
  9. But they voted for TRUMP and are "100% MAGA" so they shouldn't be hurt by the gutting of our Federal government! That's not who we should be hurting with these cuts! Not THEM! They were supposed to target the other them...
  10. I think that was intentional on Lebron's part, he didn't want to be left out and subbed for some other guy. He was in the pictures with the trophy and the team.
  11. It's going to be funny when the Republican Congress claims "We never authorized those buyout packages, they were promised by someone with no authority!" Then they have to bend over backwards into pretzels to explain how the guy firing them and offering the bogus buyouts was legally allowed to do some of that, but not the part where they get paid.
  12. It's amazing the party of The Constitution and Rule of Law is good with this bullshit.
  13. If he was beating the shit out of Nico, the people will dismiss the charges and throw him a parade.
  14. I read 7.5% recently, but that is just civilian employees and makes up about 300 billion of the budget. That doesn't include the military personnel though, which is also a huge chunk of people. Although the military votes pretty red, they might not take as big of an axe to it, since this all seems politically driven.
  15. That skills competition was lame as hell. Bouncing a pass through a 5 foot wide hole is not much of a skill. I liked seeing the Spurs make a joke of it, which was within the rules and should not have disqualified them. Make your game better if you don't like it. The NBA needs to make it a whole lot more difficult, and have time penalties for missing the shots/passes. Make it a little interesting at least by showing off skills, and incentivize doing it right. The dunk contest was kind of lame. Buzelis couldn't do shit, and that guy from the Bucks was doing vanilla shit. Castle was great, and kind of got robbed on one of those "49" ratings by that dude on the end and Tmac. Mac is a great dunker, but he's not an NBA player and doesn't belong. The NBA needs to figure out how to get some big names with talent to do some dunks, because it hurts their brand to have such pedestrian competition for something that used to be Must See TV. I think the competition would be better off if they gave them a 1 minute timer to do whatever number of dunks they want. Like in figure skating, they don't do one triple axel and stop there, they do a lot to show off different skills and technique. It would make it more interesting and reward those who can make their dunks the first time by letting them complete several.
  16. Watch the next several jobs reports be negative, unemployment rising, and these clowns will be claiming it's a benefit to tax payers because they are saving money. They will have an explanation for the upcoming recession, caused by unnecessary tariffs and trade wars, and point to it as a good thing. Nerds will point out the massive private sector layoffs as a large part of his policy, unexpected cancelling of government contracts, deportation of cheap immigrant workers and the general retraction of the economy due to his dumb policies, but he and his media apparatus will spin it as good for the country. It's gonna be great.
  17. "Bregman had offers of 6 years/$171.5 million (opt-out after 2026) from Detroit, and 4 years/$120 million (opt-outs after 2026 & 2027) from the Cubs, per sources," Feinsand said. "The higher AAV combined with the opt-outs after each of the next two years were the key to him taking the Boston deal." It also was reported heavily that the Astros offered Bregman a six-year deal worth $156 million. https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news/alex-bregman-contract-details-red-sox-star-declined-3-other-offers-pat3 So the Tigers did offer a bit more with 1 one more year, but with unspecified deferments. Cubs offer was reasonable, and probably better than the Astros overall. The notion that his market was cold or underwhelming appears to be wrong. He wasn't getting 200m like he had hoped, but this is still really good money for him at 30m+ per year. I can't really blame him for leaving, but will miss him. Fare well Bregman.
  18. No Fred and they still pull it off. Just think if they had found a way to turn Fred+filler and picks to get KD on this team. He's absolutely the killer shooter this team is missing. Maybe they can swing a trade for him next year, it would be fun.
