College basketball coaching carousel: 2025 edition
In regards to Brad Stevens, one guy with supposed insider news put it this way: "The last time IU knocked on his door, no one answered. This time when IU knocked, they not only answered but invited them in.". They'd have to offer him 7MM/yr at least, not sure if he even wants to leave the NBA. But you don't get boosters to drop 10s of millions for a buyout and a new contract just to hire some up and comer. They've got to be aiming high. Beilein is too old IMO, would've been a great choice 10 years ago. I've always liked Musselman. Stevens is my #1 choice, though. Make him say "No".

Sorry, I didn't mean the admin has no patience, I mean the boosters, etc. They irrationally think IU should be in the Elite Eight every year. It's a grinder of a job, why do it if you have no connections and already make good money? I just don't think he sees an upside to leaving TT for Bloomington.

I can't see Beard leaving TT. He's spent 15 years of his life there, has family there. Why uproot for a rebuild job in a place that has no patience for a rebuild? Unless he's a masochist.

As a long-time IU fan, my knee jerk reaction is to say that the IU administration could fuck up a wet dream and to prepare for the worst. However, the new AD is an alum and has worked for IU his entire life, also won a ring in '87 as a BB student manager. He got FB coach Tom Allen a well deserved (IMO) raise. Maybe he's the one to get this shit straightened out.

Celebrity Death Pool - 2021
I'd record the same song 3-4 times in a row, so I wouldn't have to rewind the tape when driving around town.

Celebrity Death Pool - 2021
I can remember sometime in the late 80s saying "CDs are a fad, they won't last". Feel free to ask me for gambling tips and stock advice, I obviously know what's what.

Dumbass Shit your patients/customers say
I work at a state agency and I have at least 5 people per day that submit their forms to us completely blank, not one thing filled out. After we reject it and send it back, they call us and can't comprehend why their document wasn't accepted. When shown their error, they claim they had no idea they were supposed to complete the form, even though the document comes with an instruction sheet that explains how to complete the forms.

Britt Reid
I saw an interview with Joe Gibbs, after he retired the first time. He said he knew it was time when he got home late and went in to kiss his son goodnight and his son had a beard.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
I was watching a documentary about the Titanic last night, the wife was on her phone and halfway watching it. They talked about Benjamin Guggenheim going down with the ship and how he was so wealthy. The wife says, "Well of course he was wealthy, he printed all of those bibles! Remember how we saw that big one in Washington, DC??".

The New Car Fanatic Thread
I bought my kid a '17 Hyundai Elantra last year and 3 of the fucking door handle actuators broke in about 3-4 months. Fucking ridiculous.

Tiger Woods involved in rollover crash. suffered compound fractures in both legs
My dad was given Fentanyl when he was in the hospital for his heart surgery. It made him hallucinate badly. He said he never wanted that shit again.

Should I care if... If my wife's Father breaks his hip? Family dynamics and avoidance of reality for elderly parents.
I've been doing this in regards to my MIL. She's been a widow for more than 30 years, so she's incredibly independent but there's some stuff I didn't think she needed to be doing. Like climbing a ladder to clean her gutters. She fell off a small step stool already so I put my foot down and clean the gutters whenever my wife says they need clening. We had to gently stop her from attending a funeral last year, the deceased died from covid and his widow and child tested positive. The latest was her wanting to go to the store during the worst winter storm we've had in over 140 years. I knew she was stir crazy but I wouldn't let her drive until it was cleared up enough that I could drive to work. I told her I've already buried one mom, she's the only one I have left. She gets it.

Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
My wife and I were discussing this just last night. I told her how I'd like to get away for a weekend, we haven't been on any kind of "trip" since 2018. But I'm really feeling this more than usual because of this virus shit. I've been working at home part time for the last nine months, she's been WAH 99% of the time since March. I'm fucking tired of looking at these walls all the time! I find myself wishing I was in the office when I'm at home. Not all the time, but at least once/twice a week. She said she loves being at home and doesn't share my feelings, ha. I never thought I'd feel like this. I want a break from this "break"!

OK early parolee kills hot neighbor, serves her heart & potatoes to his family before killing his uncle, 4-y.o., and stabbing Aunt Pye in eyes
I dunno man, 45+ years doesn't sound "early" to me. That's a long fucking stretch in the can. If he wasn't a total fuck-up during his near half-century in prison, I can see why they might let him out now.

Russell Wilson Cut From the Broncos
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/02/25/report-russell-wilson-stormed-out-after-his-ideas-for-fixing-seattles-offense-were-dismissed/amp/?__twitter_impression=true IMO Wilson is a fake-ass douche. Hope he gets traded to the Jets and goes 1-15 every year.

2020-2021 PGA Tour thread
Drugs was my first thought as well. However, it was 7-7:30 AM, how early would he have had to take some pills to make him unable to drive properly at 7? Could it have been residual from some pills he took the night before? I have no idea. Either way, he's damn lucky he didn't hit anyone else.

You think his ex-wife is having a good chuckle, as she sits on her pile of cash? I know if my cheater ex-wife had a bad car accident, I wouldn't hurry on down to church and light a candle for her.

Sadly, my first thought was that he was high. Seeing him all fucked up on tv just reinforces that IMO.

Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
I think this is more of a philosophical thought but I didn't think it was right for the DT board. I look at a PC screen for most of my day and I can't help but look at the day & time in the bottom right corner and think "My God, is it really 2021? Am I really this old?". Just saying 2021 out loud makes it feel like some Buck Rogers shit. That's just too far into the future. isn't it? It gets me to thinking about my own mortality, and how much time my dad has left. My BIL died recently and that's also putting more weight on my mind about life and living. If I let it, it can really overwhelm me and leave me almost powerless to think or move or do anything.
