  1. Past hour
  2. Great episode. I think 3 good ones a season is the new norm.
  3. His father said they (Texas) talked about his skill set AND compared his build to Robinson, so a body comparison, not skills comp.
  4. well that and the fact Jack was hitting close to 2 clubs less that almost everyone else on tour for about 6 years. but yeah to your point, he had great hands as well. it wasnt all about power. you got 2 minutes Scottie better get to work.
  5. Is she going to pretend that WNBA salaries haven't increased since 1997? A quick google search shows that the average salary has increased from $28K in the first year to $125K in 2025, so I'm not sure what her point is with that comment. Another interesting data point is that google tells me the NBA first turned a profit in 1971. In 1970 the average NBA salary (35K) was 4X the average salary for the US worker. In 2025 the average WNBA salary is $125K which is about 2X the average US salary. BUT the men were playing 82 games a season and the women are only playing half of that. those extra 40+ games translates into more revenue. Its likely they are gonna have to up the workload. I don't know if that is a sticking point for them or not. Do the networks want 2X the inventory? Everyone knows the women are going to get a raise with the next CBA agreement, the only question is how much. The shirts are simply a ploy to get attention and try and win the public favor on their side. Because we all know a raise is coming, and nobody has any clue about the league financials( how much is lost, if any, AND who is actually losing the money) its near impossible to know if the players are too far out over their skis in negotiations. As far as I can tell neither side has leaked specific data points, only that they aren't close. I'm in it for the trainwreck at this point, so I can only hope they have a walkout, just for the lulz. But eventually all the leverage is with the owners(it always is), so a deal will get done before the players starve to death.
  6. No crease in them jeans. Probably ain’t even wranglers
  7. Fleshing out the point for clarity: For various reasons the Federal government wanted to build bases in the south. Politicians wanted to name those southern bases after confederates to garner support from southern people, who had been lied to systematically about the past. Part of the “lost cause” myth involved rehabbing some pretty terrible officers like Bragg and Hood (who were reviled in their own time and survived the war to die in or near poverty) into heroes. So, when the politicians told the war department and the army to name bases after traitors, the army gave them bases named after the men whose mistakes and failures were key moments in losing the war. Good bull.
  8. I'm a little skeptical of the same skill set as Bijan, but whatever gets this kid to campus.
  9. You're never going to believe who's outraged at someone else's opinion...
  10. I would absolutely love to be proven wrong. But I won't be.
  11. When the army does it, it’s irony. When the local school board does it, it’s ignorance.
  12. I played on high school...a long time ago LOL, 1979-81 Started playing again in 2023, now playing 3.0 doubles twice a week and loving it.
  13. they're selling coffee, bran muffins... you're surrounded by reading material... it's entrapment!
  14. Multiple can be true at the same time. It’s widely understood why they named the bases after confederate generals. But naming them after two southern generals who were both famous and had been reconned by tradition into something other than the failures both on and off the battlefield they weee understood to be in their own lives is exactly the kind of ironic genius that institutional bureaucracy produces when politicians force it to something repellent and contrary to its mission. Are you honestly saying that naming bases after John Bell Hood and Braxton fucking Bragg were good faith attempts to honor the gallant conduct of the confederate forces? Come on man. That’s Lost Cause bullshit.
  15. Not really. The questions were from the media. He just refused to get defensive to the media in front of the high school coaches. I don't have access to any personal conversations with coaches.
  16. So he’s had his ass handed to him 40 times? No wonder he’s such a bitter little wanker.
  17. You're too biased. We're talking power and ego. For those two people politics takes a back seat. You can't see it, but I'm not suprised.
  18. Was it Greg Swindell?
  19. How would Elon know what’s in the Epstein “files” or anything else in the custody of the DOJ? I don’t recall DOGE tackling DOJ. I’m pretty sure that was just bullshit to get under Trump’s thin skin, playing his game.
  20. it'll be funny when his kids are fundraising for the Trump Library and get caught skimming (they're not allowed to fund raise in the state of NY)
  21. i started playing ncaa 25 again, and i’ve been quickly reintroduced to the charming bug where i’ve got 3-4 blockers in front of me on a punt return while the ball is in the air, only for all four of them to ignore the lone gunner who runs right past them and blows me the fuck up as soon as i catch the punt. they still doing that stupid shit on 26?
  22. Debated playing in a PG All-State tournament but ended up doing so because it was being held in Houston. Went 5-1 and won the tournament, Chuy went 10-13 with 2 walks and great defense at short. I'm not gonna put too much stock in this but 10 (legit) hits in 13 ABs will get you free Whataburger most nights VID_20250720_165415.mp4 VID_20250720_165328.mp4
