  1. True, but his team is shit. Who is his best WR? An aging Adam Thielen?
  2. pickett fucked up his shoulder or collarbone or something. Edit - maybe not
  3. I think there used to be a rule where every team had at least one primetime appearance, but this year it looks like 4 teams get shut out (Texans, Cardinals, Colts, and Falcons)
  4. lulz, 4 shitbucket offenses on display at the same time
  5. I always figured most cult leaders got into the gig simply to get laid a lot, so they craft a narrative to further that goal. Jimbo somehow misread the memo and now its his wife that gets plowed on the regular.
  6. 100% agree. Own it, hell she might even have to make the nature of that debate a talking point for her campaign, as its certainly going to come up anyway. But attempting to bury her past and instead accusing her opponents of a sex crime seems naive and a bit of a political miscalculation.
  7. Voters are free to use any number of criteria when when they step into the voting booth, and those criteria are certainly broader than "did this candidate break the law in the past." As an example, if I learn that a candidate used to run one of those shady payday loan operations, bilking unsophisticated people out of millions they cant afford, that is absolutely something I would want to know prior to the election. Some people wouldn't care at all, but for me it would be an automatic disqualifier. Televangelists, ambulance chasers, and guys that fly "lets go Brandon flags" would get the same treatment, even though there is nothing illegal with those activies. Certain backgrounds/behaviors in my mind simply indicate a candidate lacks the moral compass necessary for the job. And those criteria are different for each voter. I have no issue with pornography or sites like Chaturbate, but it would be naive to think nobody does. I also believe that when you choose to run for public office, your past employment/income is fair game for discussion. This isn't a scenario where an unsuspecting participant was surreptitiously recorded in the act, only to have a jilted ex later release the video without consent. She and her husband willingly chose to fuck online in front of an anonymous internet audience for money. They are certainly entitled to do so, and the money supposedly can be surprisingly good. But you have to own it. From my understanding, this was all recent activity, not something that was uncovered regarding a long ago past when her life circumstances might have been much different. She's an RN, and he's a lawyer, so presumably they have the means to a decent life without fucking for tokens. But since they choose to fuck for tokens, I struggle to see why this should be off limits. She just has to convince a majority of voters that she is still the best candidate for the job. No different than any other number of personal indiscretions that while legal (drinking, gambling, cheating on a partner, etc...) can absolutely dominate political campaigns. Once you start filing 1099's, its fair game. If it didn't show up on her tax returns, she might have bigger issues.
  8. Its fucking crazy. Its like that dude said......couple of weeks into his career, and everyone already knows he is one of the baddest mfers in the league. Every time he touches the ball, I halfway expect him to house it. That announcer had a damn orgasm on that clip above...."oooooooo"
  9. he's about a .585 winning percentage coach(career). Above average by definition, but not someone you would beat the door down to hire. Fuck it, lets pour another drink and light this doob....
  10. I'm heading out there on Friday. Never been, looking forward to it
  11. lulz at Baylor only being up 16 on something called Long Island University(0-2). If we don't deep dick those clowns by at least 40 on our way out of the BigXII I will be pissed.
  12. They're just out there becoming the best version of themselves that they can become.
  13. Miss St has 19 yds so far, LSU WR Nabers checking in with 9 rec for 140 and 2 TDs and there's 40 minutes left to play.
  14. lulz, Fox big noon kickoff back in boulder, and its a contest to see which of the guys can deepthroat Deion with the most flair.
  15. What the fuck are you babbling about? Capitalism, socialism, communism, any-ism is only as effective as the structure in place to keep the system true to its goals and prevent it from being exploited. To suggest that America's current flavor of capitalism cant be tweaked or evolved to provide a more equitable economy is absolute horseshit. I'm certainly not arguing that we do away with capitalism. But I am arguing that our government shouldn't favor the corporation over the good of the people. There has to be a balance. Its why I laugh at the current "conservative" war cry against any and all regulation. Excessive regulation can be burdensome, no regulation would be a fucking disaster. Again.....balance.
  16. I'll just assume you are talking about executive compensation here
  17. The backstory of Texas being responsible for it all sounds like exactly the kind of thing a f'n rube from A&M would believe.
  18. Thats a good question. With regards to the Big 3 auto OEMS, I'm certainly noy saying that the UAW should get all of their demands, and they likely wont. Like most negotiations, they enter at the extremes and will likely meet somewhere closer to the middle. But in general, this country has a fucking greed problem. And the people that benefit most from the ever growing wealth disparity make sure to buy off the only people that can really fucking change things. The gap gets wider every goddamn year, its not a coincidence. Take the most recent round of corporate tax cuts (which were a joke to begin with). For years, US companies couldn't move manufacturing out of the US fast enough, because higher margins mean the people paid to make those decisions make more money. We completely decimated our manufacturing base in the name of ever greater profits. And when we had squeezed most of the blood from that stone, these same corporations paid off the GOP to give them a huge tax break so they could keep making more money. Hilariously enough, at the same fucking time GOP politicians were constantly bemoaning the rise of China, and cheering on "buy america". That seems like a perfect opportunity to incentivize a move back to US manufacturing by tying tax incentives to those corporations who could demonstrate they were doing exactly that. Obviously so much shit gets made in China that is doesn't happen over night, but show progress at least. But if Apple cant make all their shit in China, then they dont make Apple like profits, and the stock price looks a lot different when Iphone margins collapse. Instead we just rolled over and spread our legs and ponied up a tax break for nothing. Then Covid hits and everyone wishes all our shit didn't come from china. Its fucking idiocy.
  19. Then stop buying back stock to the tune of $5 billion dollars in the last 12 months. Were they not aware of the shift to EVs and the profit challenges it would poise the last 12 months? Did this just realization just pop up in the last couple of weeks? bullshit. Is Mary Barra gonna make $30 million a year sucking dick? And the reason they all get paid so damn much is BECAUSE they get paid in stock. They aint taking shit private. Edit - there may a handful of execs that could find a way to make more money not being CEO's. But the vast majority of them know there is no other way they would make that much money. Its a fucking racket, and everyone knows its a fucking racket.
