    Burgers

    Swung by the crown last night a little before 9 for a quick bite on my way home. They were out of bacon. WTF? The burger still slammed with just cheese and jalapenos, but who f'n runs out of bacon. I was sitting at the bar, so I got to hear the bartender disappoint the majority of patrons, 95% of whom asked the guy to repeat himself.
  2. From a reddit discussion on the rumor...
  3. The monthly fed policy updates are gonna rock the fuck out when the motor city madman is calling the shots.
  4. I'm not surprised ROT fizzled once they all had to go back to school to become infectious disease experts in order to confidently stand on their facebook walls. And then immediately after, you had the graduate studies in macro-economics, constitutional law, and public policy.....there's only so many hours in the day, and they sure as fuck ain't missing Rogan's podcasts. Something had to give.
  5. Wouldnt shock me to see it up 2% on the day or down 2%. The big trading algorithms having a field day in these conditions.
  6. never gets old watching Curry doing Curry things in the playoffs.
  7. So much winning. I can hardly fucking stand it.
  8. Its funny, that chart had me look at the generic nba stats page, and I was surprised to see Giannis was only averaging .9 3P attempts per game this year. I thought that seemed low, he used to heave up a bunch. Sure enough '22 - 3.6 per game, '23 -2.7 per, '24 - 1.7 per, '25 - .9 per. He sucks and he's not getting any better, but at least they figured out a way to get him to quit f'n launching them.
  9. If they really wanted to please their fans, they should have selected that defensive end from NC State.
  10. I'm not a fan of Deion by any means, but characters like "prime" and the whole colorado story are what make college football so entertaining. Its fun to root against (or for) those kind of stories. If all his toes rot off this thursday, and he can no longer coach, it was still 100% the right hire for Colorado. A team nobody has given a fuck about (good or bad) in quite a while.
  11. This is a good illustration of why the proposed $21M cap for university sponsored NIL (if thats what the final number ends up being)is so amusing to me. $21M per school for all sports and you have shitty QB's getting $2.4M and bailing after asking for $4M per. I'm sure the baseline number will grow over time, but it will always be grossly inadequate, because college AD's, GM's and coaches will be every bit as incapable of reigning in salary as their professional counterparts.
  12. Finally, an expert! Would you share your calculations with the class so we can move on to the conspiracy portion of the thread?
  13. Its an entirely new Bill these days
  14. Even more reason we need someone else to play the point. Contributing 15 assists and 10 turnovers in 4 postseason games aint gonna get it done, if thats the evidence of his floor mastery.
  15. He was probably just excited about the sumptuous BigMac buffett on the agenda.
  16. its ridiculous how much of the Chapelle Show still hits as hard as when it was released. Its a shame he had his meltdown or whatever caused him to break his contract after two seasons. He came roaring out of the gates with that Clayton Bigsby skit in that first show.
  17. Absolutely. I don't consider Mark to be a good point guard, at his best here in Austin he has been a serviceable point guard. He played in 29 games and had a total of 49 assists, with a season high of 5. And after him we have shit.
  18. Sounds promising. 1 year, he also played at season at St Louis before LBS
  19. Meh....Bueckers aint gonna move the needle in the WNBA any more than Plum, Ionesque, Stewart etc... She will be talked about, but my guess is she won't have anywhere close to the impact on attendance and viewership that Caitlin has. She will be recognized as another good player, but she is nowhere near the phenomenon that CC was. Hell, just look at the championship game ratings for women's hoops this year vs last year. Down 50% with a constant of South Carolina as the opponent, resulting in two of womens hoops biggest programs/coaches going head to head. Ive seen some highlights of JuJu at SC, and she is really the only other player that seems like she could have a CC type impact (in terms of skill).
  20. I'm guessing Buds get his $50M for one year of work? Working for billionaires in dysfunctional organizations seems like the gig to get. He was hired in May of '24 a couple of weeks after the Suns were eliminated from the playoffs. How do you get 2 seasons out of that?
  21. Agreed, executives will be very hesistant to call out Trump by name, but if entire market segments all start bigly slashing earnings forecasts using generic comments like "increased margin pressures, consumers reluctance to make major purchases, inflation, etc..." they really don't have to say much else to drive the markets further down. The markets still carry a very high valuation by historical metrics.
  22. We are just entering earnings season for Q1 now. The next few weeks will be interesting to hear both the forward guidance and executive comments on their faith in the economy moving forward. Assuming no new tariffs and that we dont bomb Iran or California soon, a constant refrain of lowered earnings forecasts or fears of a recession could still drive us lower. We are in unchartered waters of dipshittery. The tariff "exemption" announced today was phrased as lasting a month or two "to allow companies to reshore," as if semi fabs that require multi-billions in investments and years to build/qualify will all be humming along by July, lulz.
  23. Lulz, so predictable https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-does-tim-apple-a-solid-investors-cheer-smartphone-tariff-exemption-despite-mixed-white-house-signals-124235436.html Thanks for the double up, I guess.
  24. Yeah,cause he was dead. The only people I feel badly for are the injured, deceased, and their relatives. Lacy couldn't even figure out a way to off himself that didn't put others at risk. Fuck that guy
