  1. Past hour
  2. We like that taco place across the street.
  3. The key thing you are missing is that the people on the “administrative side” have transferable skills and a market value that they can take down the road to a variety of other employers. That is true of basically all of them from league commissioner down to marketer, accountant, physical therapist, secretary. Women point guards do not have transferable skills they can take elsewhere. So you either want this league to be run professionally, or you don’t. Or I guess you ask the secretary to take a pay cut so Kelsey Plum gets a raise? Do you want a Deloitte-quality CEO or just some person willing to give this a shot? A huge problem in sports media is allowing sports writers to write about things that are really economics or business.
  4. A janitor at a YMCA called me a blue-eyed devil once, so all this hits close to home.
  5. I assume there is a reason the dotard is suing Rupert and not Elmo. Elmo is as chickenshit as the dotard so I figured he would be first. There’s something cooking under the scenes and none of us are going to like it.
  6. astros should be permanent host of the mexico city series
  7. He’s a five star “Athlete” that plays RB and LB that Texas intends to use exclusively at RB because he’s badass at it.
  8. Comedically speaking, I do appreciate Putin's complete lack of give a fuck when it comes to Russia's perceived image. You'd think American families moving to Russia to escape wokeism would be treated like royalty and propped up to highlight the evils of the West. Nah, get fucked, go be cannon fodder.
  9. Never gets old
  10. That's actually a good possibility. I know that the lessor of Greenwood is the State of Texas (maybe even UT)....AND....that lease runs out very soon. Like, within the next few years. Was a 99 year lease.....90-something years ago. It's tough to sell a condo in Greenwood these days, for that reason.
  11. “Fair” and “percentage of “revenue” has no fucking place in the conversation around a league that’s not covering expenses. Coughing up 50 percent of 11 billion in a league that makes money is an entirely different mathematical proposition than coughing up 10 percent of 200 million in a league that loses money. If you don’t get that, I am sorry you are in the vast majority of people who cannot understand big numbers. And arguably, at the point the business people do deserve a higher share in the WNBA since as Fantana has pointed out— they are the ones who might be able to make the numbers eventually work. The argument right now is to funnel a greater percentage of money to the players and take it from, what, exactly— the marketers? Reinvestment into the league? Go ahead and hire some bargain basement execs and see how this goes.
  12. I've wondered if that whole block bounded by Lavaca, MLK, Guadalupe and 18th is on a ground lease. I know the Greenwood Towers is that's on the SE corner. How else to explain why the old Pizza Hut still sits empty and the old retail spots fronting on MLK. *Edit* Back in the 90s, that Pizza Hut occupied part of the retail space to the east. You would order at the counter or get buffet and could then walk up a small flight of stairs to another seating area. May also have been restrooms up there. Landlord recaptured it sometime in the late 90s (?). Apparently to lease it to a vape shop or similar tenant.
  13. Cameron Crowe wrote that movie, so I am sure that was the joke.
  14. Watch out for Katy HS this year. They have a 5’9” white dude that’s a 3 7/8 star LB.
  15. As a Cubs fan, your Dodgers have been a significant disappointment to me due to their abject failure to do a damned thing against the Brewers.
  16. I think someone said he was at the Georgia game last year,too. So, maybe twice? Regardless, that's how you get it done.
  17. You’re adorable.
  18. if the first part is true then he is a trolling asshole. those are the only two options. well, maybe C, both A and B. but don't pretend for a second there is any naivete at play here.
  19. Just heard on C&F that Bijan had talked to Cooper before he committed. That's some solid stuff.
