Fitness, via Apple Watch, is part of Apple's branding not Amazon or Disney's.  How can Peloton be integrated with Apple Watch fitness and what would the ROI be are the questions for Apple.  Nike producing daily interactive streaming content would be way outside their traditional apparel and sporting goods. 

It isn't always a pure ROI play for large companies sitting on a shit ton of cash. Typically shareholders want you to do one of three things with that money:

Dividend/Stock Buy Back to pay the shareholders of record back/prop up share price

R&D Investment - spend money on future cool shit that can provide more shareholder returns down the line

Buy something - show inorganic revenue growth, add some more cool shit for you to sell/brand etc

Apple has like 200B in cash right now, Peloton's Market Cap is $12B, Apple buying Peloton, even if they paid current full price or a 25% premium would be couch cushion money for them. You are talking using 7.5% of Apple's Cash to buy Peloton at $15B. They make pretty much jack shit on holding that cash in terms of interest back to shareholder's.

I am not advocating for a Peloton purchase as I think they are fucked to a large degree but  they could do it without a second thought. It would be a harder pull for Nike as they only have ~$15B in cash and short term equivalents (easily converted to cash) of which ~$10B is in cash. They would have to do some stuff to swing the deal or get Peloton shareholder's to agree that the sky is falling and maybe take a $6B offer.

I am not an M&A guy at all but do work for a large company that buys a lot of other companies and get dragged into these types of conversations from time to time.

Doing something when you are sitting on a shitload of cash is a constant issue especially as people aren't really allowing for the "but Covid" excuse around using billions of cash that are sitting there not doing dick.

HA!!! The Savior Trevor Knight had just carved up Bama (32/44 for 348 4 td, 1 int) and OU had just signed their top choice for high school QBs (Justice Hansen, who turned out to be great...for Arkansas St).

Mayfield, a guy who gone for 12 tds, 9 int and been benched at Tech, was on no ones wish list.

He/Simmons contacted Mims about coming over. He also has tried to convince the rest of the northeast guys that went to OU with/because of Williams(Harmon, Gilliam, Farooq).

Gave up beer two years ago.

I'm on a long-term diet, man.  
I say long-term because after two years I've only lost 33lbs.  

From 220lbs to 187lbs.  

Been hovering at 187-188 for two weeks now.  arghh.

But it was a nice, sudden drop from 192-194lbs.

 

I learned how to drink hard liquor from an Armenian (shout out to a semi-Armenian Sarkisian) and that was Stoli vodka.

And by learn, I mean I learned how to out-drink everybody.

So, it being low carb, I now drink nothing but Stoli.  I'll mix it with some other low carb stuff when I drink, which is only like once a week anymore.

Borrrringggggg

 

diets suck ass.

getting healthier is kinda cool though.

Right, now.
‘Beats’ was an incredibly shitty line of headphones developed by Monster cables, then they got Dr. Dre to pretend to have something to do with the audio when he just sold them his name and said what he liked and didn’t about a few pair of prototypes. Beats were shit but fuck it “we legit” now and sales exploded. Dre then double dealt Monster by making a deal with Apple in the Billions which almost got cancelled because dipshit went on insta and announced it drunk with a buddy despite Apples strict insistence on secrecy. Oops. So now Apple sells Dre ‘Beats’ headphones which are still absolute shit and Dre is fighting over his money with his soon to be ex-wife because Dre didn’t get a prenup- in fucking CA.

They even conned VW into dropping the superior Fender sound for beats audio in some of their cars. Every review I've seen says it's a definite downgrade...even though Fender only makes amps and guitars.

I can see the NCAA panel investigation now:

NCAA: Lincoln, what are these meetings on your calendar that are marked Cali Crew?

Lincoln: Those were for a new restaurant I was starting. 

NCAA: Yes, but why did you only invite a select number of coaches and players?

Lincoln: Market research.. It was top secret. We even burned the notes in a smoker, but they didn't burn all the way and so I had to just lock it in a garage and hope for the best. 

NCAA: But the notes had enrollment paperwork for USC.

Lincoln: That is purely circumstantial. I have enrollment paperwork to every school sir. 

NCAA: There is also a picture of Raleek Brown with a USC song girl prior to your announcement. 

Lincoln: That is a man sir.. we live in a brave new world. Raleek has a type. 

NCAA: But we also have recordings of your DB coach recruiting players for USC on road trips while employed at OU.

Lincoln: He was just mentioning how OU was the USC of the dust bowl.

My buddy in HS worked in a piercing shop so had bunch of piercings that were a bit extreme including a 16 gauge bull ring center chest bellow his collarbone and 7 in his junk.

One day while he was nailing his HS gf, they looked at the time and realize she was late for work. She hopped off his d but her belly button ring caught his Prince Albert. It ripped that motherfucker out. Bitch had to wee sitting down for 2 years until he finally told his mom. Literally caught crabs from 6th street because of this. Couldn’t wee standing up without plugging his cock or it was like a watering can.

Turns out there’s a genetic disorder where the penis shaft doesn’t close properly in the womb, so there are money surgeons in Houston who dealt with his problem. $8500 later he had a cock that was good as new.

 

Wait. What were talking about??

Which lesson was that? Don't bang high school girls with belly button piercings if your dick is pierced? Or are you just extra diligent about keeping the hooks and sinkers separate in your tackle box?

When I was young I knew a kid who approach a pissed off horse from the wrong direction.

Got a hoof right in the gonads. 

Many stitches were required.

I bet that happens fairly often around College Station?

 

Same kid was also known to have been playing with his balls one day, twisting them around and around (I didn't know you could do it more than once, not that I've tried).

They got stuck!
The E.R. probably still tells legendary stories about that kid to this day.

Zipper?  Hell, the kid down the street caught his sack in between the Chan and his crank sprocket when we were jumping curbs in 2nd grade.  He didnt have a free wheel so he was completely fucked.  His older sister spun the pedals forward and ran it all the way through, definitely hurt his pride more than any lasting damage but it sure traumatized me seeing that shit.
