  1. I find it amusing Silver was characterizing a 40 minute game as the natural fit for 2 hr TV windows. Its fucking rare that college games arent blowing through the 2 hr allocation these days, as they are jampacked with ads. I have no reason to think NBA broadcasts would be any different. You know they dont want to lose too many ad sales. Would they go to 5 fouls? It would fundamentally change the sport in a way that seems excessive because you want to better fit in a 2 hr window. Figure out a way to play a 48 minute game in 2 hrs.
  2. that was as good a shot as you could realistically hope for. just didnt fall.
  3. I cant remember if Beard is a "foul the guy before he can shoot a 3" guy, or not
  4. Salt it away? they will be up 3 lulz
  5. Thats where I notice him as well. Good length as well.
  6. https://thevarsitynetwork.com/feed/source/oas-824?audioPlayer=utexas%3Aallaccess-Live-805 if you go the schedule page for the Mens hoops on Texassports.com, I think they always post an audio link for the texas broadcast.
  7. Fuck yeah..... I rocked out to a fair amount of Triumph back in the day. Cruising around in my old piece of shit 1976 hilux pickup with my mullet blowing in the breeze. Those were care-free, and shart-free days. I actually wish I still had that pickup. It was indestructible.
  8. I've certainly read that those services were available, but since I never accessed the site and verified it, I could be mistaken. Still, I have seen screenshots were people were advertising credit card numbers, SSN's, forged documents, malware etc... He knew people were getting fucked over from the sale of shit on his website, and he had zero issue with it. He's a criminal. And there was certainly a services section, so who knows what was available even if sporadically. I'm sure as fuck not taking his word for it.
  9. OK, so now explain the part where you could anonymously buy firearms or arrange for hitmen on the website. Plenty of criminals will invent excuses to justify their behavior, you dont have to believe them. he did it for the money.
  10. Its a horrible analogy. Craigslist probably has a user clickthrough agreement that prohibits illegal activity, and makes some attempt at removing those types of listings. Silk Road was set up explicitly as a marketplace to encourage illegal activity because thats where the profit comes from. He would have to know that people would die as a result of the sale from heroin, etc... and he didnt give one fuck. Technically the Sacklers had no criminal liability for all the oxy deaths they profited from, but they are complete shitbags themselves.
  11. Who the fuck is BigOnBasketball and why should anyone give a fuck about what they claim on twitter. Put your real name on that profile, and better yet give some specifics. Name names and how much money is being withheld. otherwise I'll assume its some dude in his basement jacking off to a RT poster.
  12. Everyone has their own ethical framework. I acknowledged that in my post. Some people will only blame the user. Others will find fault with the person that established the marketplace. Regardless, RU would have to be a fucking moron to think no overdoses would occur after facilitating hundreds of thousands of illegal drug transactions. He was happy to collect those BTC though.
  13. The future wasn't so bright on 12/1/24. Texags was like a virtual Jonestown. Oh well, there's always next year and the rollercoaster just left the staging area. Liucci will have those dipshits creaming in their bedazzled overalls by June.
  14. Yeah that was what I was referring to. There were 100K+ of narcotics transactions facilitated by Silk Road, and as the transactions were largely anonymous, common sense would suggest that there were likely more than 6 overdose deaths as all kinds of questionable drugs were likely being distributed. But again, some people will only assign blame to the individuals that purchased the drugs while others would see the dealers and/or RU as complicit as well.
  15. People overdosed shortly after purchasing drugs from Silk Road. I recall the feds linking a handful of deaths (naming the deceased and their purchases from Silk Road). Whether you think the creator of the marketplace that facilitated those purchases shares any responsibility depends on your own ethical framework.
  16. PSS should consider renaming the company to Cocktease . it appears the CKTS symbol is available.
  17. That mentality perfectly illustrates why aggy will never accomplish a fucking thing in athletics. they care more about appearances and what other people say about them than they care about substance and looking internally to figure out why they haven't won a goddamned thing since 1939.
