  1. well if you feel strongly about it, you can win better than 2 to 1 odds on your money from all the major prediction markets as the GOP is a strong favorite to win the Senate. Interestingly the Dems are favored by about the same amount to win the House.
  2. They will work out a deal, and we'll likely never know the final resolution, but my guess is the final number is a lot closer to Disney's ask than YTTV's . He who has the content has the leverage. I can get ESPN through any number of providers, but a good chunk of college football I can only get watching disney. A few additional folks may start pirating, but most people would already be pirating if that was their thing. Just on this thread count how many people have already started investigating Sling, Fubo, DTV, spectrum, etc.... Now compare that to the number of people that declared they would just stop watching sports. People will go where they can get the content they want. Its a good ole fashioned dick measuring contest right now, but Mickey is swinging the bigger bat.
  3. They are refunding anybody that makes a request the full monthly fee, but you have to request from a chat agent which can take awhile to get through. I paid 10/25 and cancelled last week and just checked this morning to make sure that my credit card was reimbursed (it was). If all you care about is live sports, I see no reason NOT to cancel if they arent delivering live sports that you paid for. You can always sign up again as soon as they get a deal. Its not like I wasn't already paying full price when I cancelled.
  4. Here is the origin. It was clearly intended as ironic if you're familiar with the meme, but thats the risk of tweeting a meme not everyone is aware of.

    Kenpom 2025-26

    What is kenpoms current prediction for conference W-L?
  6. Well except lately, Congress has just decided to let presidents do whatever the fuck they want through executive orders and comical interpretations of presidential powers. So the worst impulses of the majority party are implemented anyway. Our government today is mainly whatever Trump wants to do. Some of it might tied up in the courts until the appeals make it to a GQP judge he appointed, when he usually gets his way. The system is broken, and Congress being a bunch of ineffectual pussies who care more about their job security than their duty to country is a major reason why. While I can see arguments for and against the filibuster in a sane world, at this point, who fucking cares, because Congress doesn't.
  7. It must be a riot to look down at millions of americans struggling to afford health insurance, many of whom may be forced to go without for a year or two, while they happily accept their heavily subsidized health care and tell us to stick with them. Meanwhile Trumpco is steamrolling the lot of them while they sit around fingering each others assholes and calling it a strategy. Fuck that noise. Vote em all out.
  8. A whole lot of this. Its really the one thing DC politicians are good at.
  9. That was a dagger. Wonder if that dude even gets any basketball NIL payments at Cal Poly?
  10. I bet Susan Collins is disappointed she didn't get a chance to cave on this one.
  11. Wow that is a pretty damn solid act by Pierce.
  12. You had one demand. And now you hand the GQP a win and get nothing in return. Useless, brainless, spineless fucking pussies. We'd be better off if Obama took a shit in a box and we let the turd run the party. why even bother with the shutdown in the first place you dumb motherfuckers?
  13. Alejado just absolutely threaded that pass on the run. He's fun as fuck to watch.
  14. this hawaii frosh QB is something else. I had heard about him, but that dude can f'n drop em right in there.
  15. Aztecs pacing themselves early...
  16. First Hawaii nightcap that I've had the chance to take in this fall. I conjured up an 8 leg, same-game parlay and smoked a bowl to celebrate. Now the only real question is during which qtr I will fall asleep.
  17. UVA really fucked up the play calling in the red zone. I gotta believe you can get a better chance than that prayer heave to the corner of the endzone.
  18. I stepped away for a bit. Did Nuss get injured, or did they finally realize he sucks.
  19. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that most coaches AND analytics people would prefer to only be down 3 points. The bigger difference between IU and PSU in that scenario was having 2 minutes to score rather than having 30 seconds to score.
  20. When he first started, Gus Johnson would only shit his brains out in excitement a couple of times a game. Now he'll do it for insignificant shit like when a running back gets four yards on second down to make it 3rd and three. What a fucking clown.
  21. to be fair, I think he's clearly the best 13-16 QB they ever had.
  22. yeah, that was an interesting decision to attempt to hurdle a DLineman that was standing straight up. Too bad you can't just catch a guy and carry him all the way into the endzone and then spike him like a bitch. I mean you can, but its probably not advisable.
  23. They played one team ranked in the top 50 and they lost that game by 27. They are a really good also ran, but their schedule is complete fucking ass.
  24. Except for those ass uniforms.
  25. there's something about having an entire merch store running online when he has all of 5 completions to his nfl career that makes me laugh. https://quinnewersofficial.com/?section=shop I guess this is just the way its going to be now with these kids fresh off of the NIL self-promotion hustle in college. I doubt he sells much, but at least he gets to keep a good chunk of whatever he sells. You'd have to be one hell of a Ewers stan to wear one of those t-shirts around.
