  1. We need to throw the ball, sometimes.
  2. Roughly broken into two to four large chunks
  3. This kid seems like a Kendall Jones redux
  4. Comes with a "Barbacoa Approved Not-Broke-Ass-Bitch" flare for your handle. Very exclusive.
  5. You’ve really whittled things down to “everyone we are recruiting”. Good job. Nice detective work.
  6. Ran the town lake MoPac-I35 loop this morning and it was fucking awesome.
  7. Yep. We wanted to throw away the first series as tribute to the previous dipshits. That’s what smart football coaches do.
  8. Rich Franklin? That's Walton Goggins
  9. Silver lining is that this could become a distraction. Can't be good for locker room chemistry to have your ballyhooed true freshman - who has barely even practiced with the team - ink multi-million dollar NIL deals, when the players above him on the depth chart aren't getting the same kind of attention and $$.
  10. This should not be a surprise to anyone. It's been discussed on this board for months.
  11. It's a bad look. But it's not nearly as bad as I expected when I clicked on the link.
  12. Not food related, but both Scorpions and "outlandish conspiracy theory" related, which I believe there is a strong overlap of appreciation among posters on this thread. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/wind-of-change-podcast-990393/ New Podcast Explores Whether the Scorpions Hit ‘Wind of Change’ Was Written by the CIA Eight-episode documentary series from journalist Patrick Radden Keefe to premiere on Spotify By JON BLISTEIN Francis Buchholz, Herman Rarebell, Klaus Meine, Matthias Jabs, RuA new Spotify podcast will explore whether the CIA helped write Scorpions' "Wind of Change" as a piece of Cold War propaganda. Richard E. Aaron/Redferns/Getty Images A new podcast, Wind of Change, will explore the tantalizing possibility that Scorpions’ 1990 power ballad of the same name was actually written by the CIA as a piece of late Cold War propaganda. The show is hosted by New Yorker journalist Patrick Radden Keefe and all eight episodes premiere May 11th on Spotify. It is a joint project co-produced by Crooked Media and Pineapple Street Studios. As Keefe recounts in a new trailer for the podcast, the story goes that Scorpions wrote “Wind of Change” after participating in a landmark concert in Moscow in 1989 with other hair metal heavyweights like Bon Jovi and Mötley Crüe. “Wind of Change” was a huge hit in the United States and across Europe, and its arrival lined up perfectly with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union. But, Keefe says, for the past 10 years he’s been dogged by a rumor a friend shared with him: That “Wind of Change” was actually written by the CIA to encourage change throughout the Soviet Union. In a statement via Deadline, Keefe said of the podcast: “It’s a story that stretches across musical genres, and across borders and periods of history, so it was important to me that you hear the music, and the accents and the voices, and judge for yourself who might be lying and who is telling the truth. I’ve had so much fun pursuing this crazy story over the course of a year, exploring the dark byways of Cold War history and doing nearly a hundred interviews in four countries with rockers and spies. I can’t wait to share it with the world.” In This Article: Podcasts, Scorpions
  13. Wait. Did you really type that? Are you fucking serious? You're a "huge Jake Paul fan"? What the fuck is wrong with you?
  14. But…. Why? Why does someone need 40 bottle of old Fitzgerald?
  15. But they can sure as shit make sure their kids don’t go to Texas. That’s all we’re looking for.
  16. You need to take a fucking midol and stop reacting like an emotional little bitch. We aren't in a position to turn down elite talent, regardless of whether or not your feelings got hurt.
  17. If you read the article they're saying that's not good enough, as lobsters don't have central nervous systems so technically they are able to "feel" even after a knife through the brain. They say a lobster would need to be electrocuted first. Which is actually more badass. But I still don't understand the "not dead even after knife through the brain" thing works.
