    As stupid and easily distracted as this country is, we might as well settle the shutdown via an all members of Congress Royal Rumble on the White House Lawn.  No holds barred.

    Last person standing's party wins and gets whatever the fuck these dipshits are "fighting" over.

    This post is fucking stupid.  Now if you added it was a steel cage royal rumble then it would make total sense.

    Although the name "Eskimo" was commonly used in Alaska to refer to Inuit and Yupik people of the world, this usage is now considered unacceptable by many or even most Alaska Natives, largely since it is a colonial name imposed by non-Indigenous people. Alaska Natives increasingly prefer to be known by the names they use in their own languages, such as Inupiaq or Yupik. "Inuit" is now the current term in Alaska and across the Arctic, and "Eskimo" is fading from use. The Inuit Circumpolar Council prefers the term "Inuit" but some other organizations use "Eskimo".

    If him to guard was the move since Neto wasn’t this shit should have been done during Sam Houston state and into the bye week and starting vs Florida. Getting thrown in at a position you haven’t practiced out of a bye week was terrible coaching. Stroh had been bad and needed replacing since game 2 

    Don’t forget the bye 

     

     

     

    This line could be good if we found a Hutson replacement. 

    The Hutson part is the truth.  With him at center they will get eaten alive by mediocre defenses and destroyed by the Georgia’s of the world.  Even Kentucky and Miss St. could give us problems by blowing up the middle of the line.

    I look forward to the Trump Administration paying this company 1 billion dollars to make sure our elections are safe so we can then see election results where the Republican candidates win 99% of the vote in every county in the country and Trump wins his third term with 100% of the voters going for him.  Oh, and also, Donald Trump will require that he owns 20% of this company for them to get the federal contract with Trumps cut going straight to his presidential library fund.

    Guessing someone in the White House saw BLM project, assumed it was Black Lives Matter and cancelled it.  Plus, the whole, "why do something that could be good for our country thing when we can make it worse".

  6. I was set to buy a Cadillac Lyriq V last week, but some personal shit happened with the family dog, and I wasn't able to do it.  I was going to go in today and suddenly the dealer said last week's deal is no longer good and the car is $4500 more this week.  I hate car dealers with a passion.  I don't think they actually want to sell the cars for some reason since their lot is full of EV's at the Cadillac dealership and inventory seems the same for over the last month plus.

    So wait a minute. You are a QB playing in a game where the opponent is getting home with regularity and you don't mentally adjust? And I am the one trying too hard? If you know your line isn't holding up and you STILL are holding onto the football then you are a dumb football player. The secret to getting a team's pass rush to back off is three fold. 

    1)Run the football

    2)Screen the shit out of them

    3)Burn them by finding your hot and picking up chunk yardage. 

    If you aren't doing those things with 35 pressures what are we doing here?

    You are trying too hard.  You know who sucked when he had pressure and a shitty O line?  Tom Fucking Brady. Just like every QB.  I’m not saying Arch is great or even good.  I honestly don’t know.  I do know when your offensive line can’t run block and you average 1 yard a carry and they are ever worse at pass blocking even the best QBs of all time will make bad plays over and over again.  Last year all you did was defend Ewers and now this year all you do is blame Arch.  It’s kind of strange.  Ewers would be just as bad or worse on this year’s team because he would be a sitting duck behind this line and have worse weapons than last year.  This is all on Sark, the GM.  He built an offense especially O line with his funds.

    No, I mean unemployement approaching double digits.   Or higher.

    That will never happen because they will just change the numbers or decide not to report them.  This is a different world we are living in.

    Follow that up with the facts that:

    1) the entire doctrine was invented by one dude in the 1830s, and 

    2) it didn't acquire ANY real traction until the early 1900s when it was put into the Scofield Reference Bible.

    I guarantee you that 99% of the same folks who believe in the "Rapture" also say they are "strict textualists" when it comes to both the bible and the Constitution, yet they base their modern "faith" on a concept that doesn't fucking exist in the text they claim to revere.

    Dumbest.  Fucking.  Timeline.

    Your Rapture guy sucks.  Around the same time another guy invented a whole religion with magic underwear and everything and they control the state of Utah now.  The Rapture guy is definitely an under achiever compared to Joseph Smith.

    Just dont ask for the tylenol, IT CAUSES AUTISM. 

    Is this regular Tylenol or the Tylenol vaccine that causes Autism?  I have been told vaccines cause autism for years now by highly regarded scientists Jenny McCarthy and other geniuses who read it on the internet.

    I have seen some really ugly swings, especially from older guys, who regularly score in the 70s, off the red and white tees. They aren't long, but they are in the middle of the fairway and know how to hit mid irons and long hybrids/woods into greens. Most importantly, they have impeccable short games and putting. If you immediately want to score better, be better at putting. Then get better at chipping/pitching inside 50. Those two things do not involve the pain of changing your swing.

    Interesting topics in this thread the last few days.  I never take divots and totally pick the ball which makes it tough in the winter playing on the hard turf.

     Your comment about putting and chipping is the truly the key to scoring better.  A few weeks ago I had a business golf getaway with a bunch of clients at Hidden Creek up in New Jersey.  One of them is friends with David Frost (the South African ex PGA guy) so he came out and did a clinic with us on chipping and putting, played a few rounds with us and hung out with us at night/dinner.  He gave me a few putting tips (simple stuff) and I swear it has helped me tremendously.  I shot a 82 last Sunday and my putting was crazy good. I had 30 putts on 18 holes which I never do (that included a 4 putt on a par 3 where I had a green in regulation but shit the bed on my speed). His tips on chipping I have not really tried to practice yet.  Basically he was opposed to using wedges around the greens and wanted us to use 7-9 irons.  You guys may already do that but I usually use my 56 or 52 degree wedges for those shots.  For putting he had me bend my front arm like a chicken wing so it levels my shoulders out.  A few other tips about where to put your hands when putting and suddenly I am putting better than I ever have in my life.  Go figure.

    They could barely be bothered to point out that they were running against a 34 time convicted felon (with about 50 more outstanding felony charges) and rapist and twice impeached former president who tried to end democracy. They did tell everyone a million times to go read Project 2025 though, which I'm sure all of those undecided egg voters did. 

    You make a good point BUT eggs were expensive and there was a trans swimmer somewhere in the country that competed against some girls unfairly.  I mean priorities.

  14. RIP to one of the greats. The Sting is one of those movies I always watch if I run across it.  Since Sneakers was already mentioned I will nominate Brubaker as one of his “underrated films”.  As a kid I watched that a ton and learned all about the corrupt prison system in this country.

  15. Bumping this thread that I started almost 5 years ago.  I am ready to get rid of my Tesla Model S as the 5 year mark is coming up in a few months and I have put a whopping 28K miles on it in that time.  I am ready to move to a SUV versus a sedan.  Have been looking at the, I can't believe I am saying this, Cadillac Lyriq V.  Any thoughts on getting a Caddy?  I feel like I should be over 70 years old or something.  I test drove one the other day and it is nicer inside than my Model S and drives very smooth.  Fast also since it goes 0-60 in like 3 seconds which seems absurd for a 6000 pound car.  I am worried about buying a GM product so those that have a GM product let me know your thoughts.  Same goes for those that don't own one.

    It's amazing to me how anything thinks Charlie Kirk is a Christian. 

    Well, I am seeing posts on Facebook that say stuff like, "he is our martyr, our Jesus Christ".  I find it interesting and sad that these people viewed Trumps failed assassination attempt and tried to make him like their new Jesus Christ.  They so want Jesus to come down from the heavens they will kind of put anybody into that role at this point.  They need their Jesus on earth.  They need their martyr to spread their faith to the people that aren't Christians in this country.  Religion is a hell of a drug.

    Buddy Cop movie - 48 Hours as truly defining it as it has existed for 40+ years since.

    It’s funny because I don’t think of this as a buddy cop movie (I guess it is kind of but Murphy wasn’t a cop).  I know it came later but Lethal Weapon seems like the buddy cop movie that defined that genre.  
     

    How bout This is Spinal Tap for mockumenteries.

    In the good old days, a guy spouting off nonsense like this is put in an insane asylum. Today, he's given a massive platform and a cabinet post gets to be President of the United States.

  19. I still expect this team to at worst lose 3 games and at best lose 2 games.  I won't believe they can beat a top 5 team with Sark until I see it so that means Georgia is the only team left on our schedule we should lose to.  I think that loss was more on Sark than Arch.  Yeah, Arch missed way too many easy throws (the ones on the last drive were brutally bad) but he only had one interception and no fumbles.  The pick he threw was on their 30-yard line or something so it's not like he turned it over and gave them amazing field position.  We watched Ewers literally give the other team double digit points a game when he played bad.  The entire game plan in the first half looked like a Greg Davis afraid to call explosive plays and settle for the punt strategy.   Seemed like most of our runs were up the middle, no screens, no trickery, no motion, no gadget plays.  It looked like a game plan for when you play Sam Houston State the week before you play OU or something like that. 

    My biggest pet peeve with Sark is that no matter what he calls on first down (run or pass), if the play doesn't work and it is second and long, he will call a run play up the middle like 99% of the time.  Even if that play gets 3 yards you are left with 3rd and long and that is why drives consistently stall.  You can't expect to convert third downs all day long.  Eventually you have to try and throw beyond the sticks or get some run plays that get you a first down on first or second down and that seems to be a struggle for the way Sark calls a game.
