  1. Past hour
  2. Agreed. I'm sure they will get to it right after they fix their buggy-as-hell website.
  3. God damnit. Stop conflating NIL with pay for play, everyone. Stop it. They get paid to do commercials, tweet stuff, bring people to events and do meet and greets etc. They do not get paid to play football. There is absolutely a well established market for fucking celebrities and influencers who charge money to do those things. Could you pay anyone to come do a meet and greet 750,000? Sure you could, you would also charge probably 30k a chair for that dinner.

  5. His comment was “Muslims scare liberals.” A true statement, IMO. If, elsewhere he broadened that to all liberals, that would be an untrue statement. There are more than outliers. Remember polling in the 60s that showed a rapid flip in the percentage of white folks who were wary of black families moving into their neighborhood? I know that polling has come up on this or predecessor boards. We know there’s a strong element of social pressure behind that polling. Suddenly admitting you’re a racist was uncouth. I think we’re still in that moment on most things LGBTQ+. It’s unfortunate, but many people in their 40s and 50s who grew up using homosexual epithets didn’t expel their bigotry becuase of social pressure. Sure, you can back them down if they drop a slur or tell a terrible joke, but there are liberals not repulsed by Dan Patrick’s bathroom fascination. Humanism moves ahead of the populace. Obergefell dropped and new battle lines were formed, seemingly the next day. That’s a good thing. We need to be pushed to treat more and more people as human. But for electoral politics, that tendency leaves left-leaning parties very vulnerable. W/r/t Muslims, I will say I have more limited anecdotal data. But, every one of the guys I’m talking about did openly say quite inappropriate things about Tlaib and Omar. Like I said, I don’t view them as particularly good people. But a big tent needs shitheels, too.
  6. This is the epitome of how fucked we are as a country. This is a horrible bill and I'm totally opposed to it, but I got an autograph so I'm going to vote for it and fuck those it will hurt. I've said before, I truly wished I believed Satan existed because dotard making a deal with him is the only sensible explanation.
  7. Just a little bit of them
  8. Recruiting 2026: I said hey what’s going on
  9. The reason why there is a huge market for “fake NIL” is because the schools have artificially limited the amount the players are able to be paid to the House settlement amount. It’s certainly not their corporate NIL value, but it is their market value in college football. Schools/collectives are trying to find ways to pay the players their market value in other ways, because the rules prevent them from doing it directly.
  10. half this roster is AAA quality fuck it, lace them and tuck in our jerseys and go unleash hell !!!!
  11. Well Miller has some Arizona ties.
  12. I would worship daily.
  13. Been open a while. Fun if you are there with a big group.
  14. Having a bit of writer's block. Trying to figure out how to fit in the phrase "extravagant, decadent, guilty pleasure . . . tempered with a nagging feeling of violation."
  15. Tonight…some serious shit.
  16. the puto chant = us fans are woke? what the everlovingfuck in the context of "us fans softness/wokeness" how does that relate to the game on sunday? contemplate your answer carefully +++ re: cp i agree with him and so does juergen klopp - playing 22 months in a row is bullshit furthermore, in the global soccer economy, some, but very few, fucks are given about a tournament that includes teams that are not members of fifa, is always played in the same country, and features b/c players from the host nation's exhibition league that doesn't align with the global soccer calendar, does not have real competition from promotion/relegation and continues to make up 'rules' to 'explain' how the single entity does business with the rest of the world
  17. yankees going on a losing streak at the right time and bunching the east all up at the top puts a lot of teams within striking distance of us. jays, yankees, rays all within 5.5 games, plus seattle right ahead of us. only one of them has to slip and we are in the playoffs.
  18. So the problem here isn't the players etc. Its that none of the people paying money actually give a shit about the players NIL, they are doing it because they like the team, not because the skill or market demands it. These kids are making more than Tom Brady for some things. Than Patrick Mahomes for state farm. Stop acting like this is some fair market value discussion and pull your head out of your ass. Theres a reason corporate NIL, you know the real stuff with an ROI happens at places and with players that it happens with. Those deals continue post college and are often long term partnerships with brands.
  19. At its core, religion is a group identity based on its adherents’ collective willingness to believe a particular pile of made-up bullshit. It creates an inherent Us vs. Them dichotomy. And because abandoning any commitment to logic and empirical evidence is a prerequisite, the religious are uniquely manipulable. Laughably childish concepts like “Because God said so” are accepted as legitimate justifications for a lot of fucked up shit. Couple that with pressure or even rules requiring blind faith, and religion is a recipe for bloodshed and general strife. Tl;dr: getting people to bond over mutual belief in fairy tales is dangerous shit.
  20. Nope, san marcos.So means we will flood later.
  21. Marriott electronic key still randomly works without having to check in first. It is VERY inconsistent. When it works, about 25% of the time, I never go to the desk. It is a great feature also when the key comes across mid-morning and you know your room is available. Another drawback is not being able to use electronic key to access the lounge( breakfast. In today's world, this shit seems so correctable.
