  1. Past hour
  2. In the span of three sentences you: Say Trump will sell out ANYONE for his image/buck He is doing what he thinks is best for the country IN YOUR OWN FUCKING WORDS you admit that you see what we all do, yet the synapses in your brain force you to somehow try and spin it in a positive direction for the country because he wears the jersey of the political team you root for. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing, but I suspect most would be disappointed to find out who is ACTUALLY inflicted with it.
  3. Naah, it's too low-key and subtle. Also, all the royal and Hapsburg shit in Vienna really, really made me want to construct a guillotine and start beheading royals. Was an interesting impulse, revealing that I'm an American and fuck your kings all the way to my bones.
  4. I wish I knew why UF never added beach volleyball. They were one of the schools that did a test for the viability of the sport for the NCAA but then never went through with forming the team after approval. It may have been a timing thing or a scholarship thing because by the time the NCAA decided to add it as a sport, UF was already adding Women's Lacrosse. It's probably the scholarship thing. Foley was always trying to get us on the right side of Title IX. Guess that's all pretty much been dismantled now.
  5. Friday By Bobby Burton The president of the United States issued an executive order yesterday regarding the future of college sports. The main tenets included eliminating pay-for-play schemes, the future of student employment, Title IX guidance, saving non-revenue sports, and reducing long-term liability of the institutions. I’ll briefly hit on each of these topics below. But before I do, I want to say this: Executive orders are largely performative. What I mean by that is, the orders attempt to set direction for others, from the attorney general, to other members of the president’s cabinet. But they are not the rule of law. In other words, the president can’t unilaterally make the rules, not in the case of the NCAA. The president can’t waive a wand and make collectives illegal or grant anti-trust exemption to the NCAA. Only legislative bodies (i.e. congress) can do that. Then the courts rule on their legality. Here are the topics: - Pay-for-play: the executive does not call out collectives specifically, only that he wants any payments to athletes being purely for brand purposes. Well, pay-for-play has technically already been illegal in the NIL era. The collectives are paying athletes for their brand. So how this could effect NIL and the future of it is murky at best. - Student-employment: by addressing this, the EO seems to favor keeping students as non-employees. - Title IX guidance/non-revenue sports: the EO invokes the desire to keep US Olympic sports competitive as a primary basis for the importance of these two issues. Title IX will be tricky, but the importance of non-revenue sports has been more than adequately addressed in the House vs NCAA settlement. The EO just wants to make sure no scholarships or opportunities are diminished and the House Settlement handles that. - Long-term liability: this is where there could be real value extracted potentially by NCAA member schools IMO. If the NCAA does not have to worry about infringing on the rights of its players when enacting rules, they can rule with more of an iron fist without as much fear of student retribution via future lawsuits. Some equate this to the possibility of an anti-trust exemption. In all, the executive order is not a game-changer. It is just another piece of the puzzle we are all wading through to get to a final resolution, which in my mind, remains years away.

  8. Started this, too. Like you, growing up Southern Baptist, I should have heard of these people but never did. I suspect the post date me. They look like they're in the 90's and I peaced out before then. We laughed at how every single one of the former people they interview are now gay. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

  10. Never underestimate the subtle beauty of a Cleveland winter. Extremely subtle.
  11. I’d make you squeal like a pig.
  12. We started it and it's delicious trash. We have it on while we're paying attention to other stuff. More T&A than I expected, especially for a Netflix show. I wish I would have heard the pitch. "It's Ransom Canyon but with nudity and swinging."
  13. This legitimately might the be the worst post I've seen in CR. Completely non-sensical. But I do appreciate it, because you're not a bot and we have to accept that Americans actually "think" this way.
  14. Man likes to enjoy his drink in peace.

  16. Yeah, looking back on his previous posting he's definitely just in here to parrot right wing talking points on this issue. Newish account with <200 posts, yeah you're not trustworthy, fella. Exclusive: USAID analysis found no evidence of massive Hamas theft of Gaza aid | Reuters Shocking that Israel was lying about this all along. Shocking, I tell you!
  17. So they’re basically @futureman
  18. Texas - Dad's alma mater, dad's current job Tennessee - Dad's mentor that you probably grew up around
  19. The game in Ireland I can get even though we've gone way past teams that actually have some claim to Ireland like Notre Dame but this just feels dumb.
  20. I'm more of a Left Bank guy but any Bordeaux wine will be a good one. The Dunes du Pilat is a good suggestion, there are a couple of nice beach towns around there, Arcachon probably the most popular.
  21. Some have said she took some amphetamine for adhd. We don’t know if she left a note. She was in the shower. Was she nude? I don’t think most suicides want to be found naked. It’s weird and I’m sure we’ll see conspiracies among the tv food Reddit folks.
  22. And they ain't bad - 3 runner up finishes and a couple of fourth place finishes. In 9 seasons of it being an NCAA sport.
  23. That district is just over half an hour from kansas. Fucking crazy. In fact its closer to kansas than galveston proper. But yeah its prolly gonna be something like that, watch
  24. yeah I think it’s in bada bing.
