ESPN front page, an MLB update about how the NL is "vastly" superior to the AL at this point in the season. Two of the teams they highlight, NYM and SD have lost series to Houston. I'm gruntled. Get Diaz, Walker and Yordan batting over .220 (baby steps) and we really might be cookin with gas.

Texas Baseball 2025 - The Schwining tradition starts here...
BurdineBandit replied to petscii's topic in Baseball
This. The entire premise of the opinion piece is based on Schloss and him being "stolen" as if we had no right to hire a coach from another school. By now it's common knowledge that the guy followed CDC probably even more than he wanted to be at Texas. The basis of the argument is shit. The rest of the points are either horse or bull shit, take your pick. We were apparently not supposed to go after Beard because of some gentlemen's agreement that D1 schools never upgrade their coaching? That the first time I've heard of that. Tech and A&M certainly didn't look to their locker room to hire their next coaches, they poached, like every school that can afford a coaching search. -
Sinners - Coogler, Goransson, and Michael B Jordan
BurdineBandit replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Movies and TV
Just got home from Alamo. It was great. Solid 'A'. When they hung up the Juke Joint sign over the door I got crazy "Dusk til Dawn" vibes. I got very skittish when they started the music scene for some reason, was instantly worried this movie was about to go off the rails. (Kinda like "Sorry to Bother You", which was also great social/cultural commentary until Act 2 started.) But after about 30 seconds I started to love it. Great scene. I think the hip hop pulled me in. Michael B. Jordan did his thing. I'm impressed. Dude's a star. Surprised at the 3 or 4 LOL moments. Starting with them cutting to Stack in the car telling Sam how to put pressure like on an ice cream cone. Thought it was cool to catch Smoke's girl, who had taken a verbal jab earlier in the movie about doing her "Louisiana shit" voodoo, but at Smoke's final scene she busted out the Louisiana accent. Not sure how I missed it earlier but when she said Smoke could "hooolllld" the baby I caught that New Orleans. -
Markets still falling like whoa
BurdineBandit replied to Llano Estacado's topic in Business and Markets
Basically all of this, but Ive often thought the whole game is zero sum, and although business class was able to buy more political power and more time, eventually that widening wealth gap has to answer to itself. There's only so far it can go, its not infinite. Imo. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
BurdineBandit replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
^^ The last two years' teams would not have been nearly as accomplished with say.... Swoopes, Heard, Buechele, or Card at QB. I'd debate Sam. Quinn was absolutely a high-floor QB that I think I'll look back on fondly, regardless of his shortcomings. He did not carry his team, he did not "will" his team. His teams were MUCH more talented than any teams to have played on the 40 over the past decade before him. He should be judged accordingly. But, he led, and he performed, most times. To say Quinn doesn't belong in the NFL is silly and narrow-minded. I've watched Trey Lance and Cooper Rush take snaps for the Dallas Cowboys. I'd take Quinn over either of those guys in a heartbeat. In fact, Sam, Shane and Garrett Gilbert have all been on multiple NFL rosters, to say Quinn isn't even on their level, or the hordes of no-name reserve QBs across the league, is silly. Quinn will be floating around the league 5 years from now and surly posters will still be posting GM-level opinions to the internet. -

Wings and bigs, wings and bigs, wings and bigs. How many SGs do we need? I'm starting to believe. This Flagg shit is getting willed into existence. I'll never forget winning the Wemby lottery, but I suspect I'd attempt a backflip if we won this one. The ensuing death would at least come with a smile on my face. -
I'm just hoping I'm somewhat more aware than my dad. We're playing golf with a couple of my buddies yesterday and he comments on a Tejano song that was playing on someone's speaker: "Man I saw that guy on TV the other day, and I couldn't believe that that dude got old!" Yeah, 20 or 30-somethings that had hits in 1994 tend to get old over the course of 31 years.

Don't know you, hope you get the help you need, but "Immamac delete this account and all future accounts" like you can't do it yourself, made me think:

Ever seen the comments on an AOC tweet? They're a lot more vile than believing she's a witch.

This would assume that he's actually capable of putting out a hit on two people. I thought part of the mystery is that we didn't even have proof that he was involved. And capable of killing more. Anyway, I just finished. Probably 6.5/10. Entertained. Could have used way more Carrie Coon, especially topless, but she has the best monologue overall obvs. The family arc..... Annoying, but I mean we could all see that ending for them, right? Gaitok won't last with Mook. He won't enjoy losing his soul to be a fake man with that girl.

I watch a lot, and this week was absolutely over the top. He usually gets a few seconds of a recorded walk in, definitely gets shown on the ringside celeb cam a couple times, but this week giving him a fucking walk in with a couple minutes of uninterrupted screen time and fuckin Tulsi and Kash and Brain Worms and Elon getting screen time and fawned over? Straight knob-slobbing going on over at UFC these days.

Well shit, plenty of dumbshits never find out. It's a new day for me... (I guess in theory it would work great. I feel like I see different every day, but I'll take their word for it that the traffic would be 40-50% worse if the galaxy brains stopping a 2nd lane of traffic to try and zip their way to the exit in the last 100 feet didn't exist).

I don't understand the argument for the "zipper" method of entering a line to exit on the freeway. I've heard twice now that it's the efficient method, but it still just sounds like being selfish to me. It's only efficient for the one cutting in line, there's a 95% chance they are making the person behind them brake, and thus starting the chain reaction of braking that causes backups. The constant braking chain reaction is what causes the backup, not that "not everyone is zippering". Did dumbshits just make up a term for "cut the line because I'm too important to wait" and try to make it sound like it's reasonable?

It's never fucking enough for them. Elon was doing this last year with DOGE. Just blatant fucking manipulation. It's never enough. Trump pump and dumped DJT (or whatever his shitcoin was called) on those cucks, and they stood there and took it. It's never enough. He's manipulating the world economy with tariff tweets now. It's never enough. If there's a bigger play he can think of he'll try it soon, because IT'S NEVER FUCKING ENOUGH.
