  1. Yep, especially since he had him in a crucifix in like 3 different rounds. How he didn't rain down elbows and strikes on him is beyond me. He throw a hundred little short baby punches to the corner of DDP's head, but he never seemed to try and put him away with actual aggression. Normally I'd have been bored of it, but I was actually entertained watching a defending champion just get absolutely manhandled and able to do nothing to stop it. 25 seconds each round and he was a ragdoll. It is a bit funny to hear DDP claim hell be back to get his belt back. But even if he improves significantly, what does that mean? He stuffs 3 takedowns and lasts an average of 50 seconds on his feet before spending the rest of the fight on his back next time? That would be a huge improvement.
  2. It doesn't even have to be this fringe. It could literally be a undocumented Texas high school graduate who just had to cancel their enrollment for this fall semester because the Feds pulled the "State's Rights!!!" to govern themselves and classify students who graduated from Texas high schools (and lived here for a specified amount of time) as Texas residents for tuition purposes. Now I have to deal with students asking me how they can attend UT in the fall if their tuition just rose from $5,500/semester to $21,000/semester. Oh, and that $6k/year Texas grant you qualified for and were awarded? Sorry, you no longer qualify. No, you can't apply for a loan either, because you no longer qualify for the state-funded CAL loan. It would be better to spend your time in hiding since ICE is knocking on people's doors to fill their quotas. Stephen Miller said you were born to be a 2nd class citizen and shouldn't be getting government money. Oh, and also that fucking incel is making sure the rest of Project 2025 is being carried out in the meantime. So, yeah, don't look up. Unfortunately there's nothing I can tell them. If I want to give them the slightest sliver of hope, I can suggest paying in-district at a CC for a couple years and hope to have the opportunity to get a university education later IF the regime changes. But that would require me to believe that Trump isn't going to declare himself eligible for 3rd term with the fucking SC he paid for. And my head isn't far enough up my ass to not see where this is going. (2032? You really thing he's capable of saying "ok, enough is enough, Im rich enough, that's enough power, I've had my fill"? Fuck outta here). But anyway, that's my rant. I'm still at the stage where I can use sports as a way to stuff the reality of how fucked up these people are ALLLLLLLLLL the way to the back corner of my brain. I'll wash off the echoes of that fucking cunt Miller spout off insane racist propaganda on TV to further their nazi agenda by reading up on the latest practice report this evening. It doesn't mean I don't give a shit, it's just one of the few ways I can cope. My gf and the occasional drinking/smoking session will have to make do for the other times that I can't fit my head up my ass enough to forget.
  3. Yep. It's easy for a fucking Kennedy to lecture about it. I'll bet he won't be as interested in the details.
  4. "Logjam" seems more like an exaggeration to me each passing week. If Mitch and Wright are convinced it can work, then I'm going to let Mitch try to figure it out. Castle played 26 mpg last year. I think we can find Harper 24-26 mpg too.
  5. More staged than a fake bullet to the ear. What a clown.
  6. The shit that D1 athletes do to their fellow 17-year olds in high school is hilarious. I'll never forget Brian Orakpo in the Astrodome reaching over a fully-engaged offensive tackle, likes he's committing an Over the Back rebounding foul in basketball, to yank a quarterback's shoulders pads so hard he goes horizontal a foot off the ground and falls on the tackle's legs. Just a heap of destruction in front of him for a sack.
  7. Anyone who bought tickets expecting Messi to show his face at this exhibition game was playing themselves. He ain't here to play school. He's here because they rolled out the red carpet, gave him a stake in the team, and allowed his family to live in Latino America without having to live in Latino America. At the ripe age of 38. This game ain't on the Top 50 list of biggest accolades in his career.
  8. I can check my receipts as far back as January 2024 and I paid 2.49 for unleaded then. After 18 months I'm pretty sure it's not much cheaper than that anywhere I've seen in Austin over the past month. He can tell stories about some unnamed stations in unnamed states as much as he wants.
  9. JFC the media giving cover by invoking Hamas, and then listing all the reasons it's horseshit. Israel now controls 70% of Gaza and is closing in on 100% all in search of Hamas. And when they don't "find" Hamas, the destruction of a people and conquering of an area is just an accidental win. What a stupid, empty report.
  10. Just finished the last two episodes tonight and I liked the season. Felt the acting was great from multiple characters. Wish I knew more about some and less about others, but there's only so much they can do with 10 ~30 minute episodes. I also didn't love the wedding episode and am surprised so many did. The whole thing felt a bit forced to me. But the season overall was really good.
  11. Great description. I like the designs in general, but something about them is just a tad bit off. I have liked some of the UT gear they've come up with, but I'll likely just wind up with another nike polo this year. They fit well and look great in jeans or shorts.
  12. Hated the game plan from Berlanga. He had concepts of a plan (get inside the reach) but seemed to be clueless what to do once there. Not sure I saw him throw a single body shot. You'd think he'd try to break down Sheeraz and get him to start to fold over, but he just went headhunting and didn't have the firepower Sheeraz brought to the hunt.
  13. Stop asking questions, that's what I say. Are you evil? Are you vicious, like a democrat? People died. Stop asking questions. Communist. Things will only ever get better, this will never happen again. But they were also already perfect. The response was perfect. They should be commended it was so perfect.
  14. This hit me a couple years ago when I was dating a girl who brought out Chat GPT to "compare" two diet drinks at target. Looking for calories vs fat vs carbs, etc. I slightly turned the bottles to show the nutritional facts towards us and as she read off the calorie counts and fat grams and carb grams etc. from her phone, she realizes she just asked it to provide the info sitting in front of her face. A handful of extra steps to bust out the phone, scan the products, wait for Chat GPT to recognize it, ask it to compare, wait for a result....... all to avoid just seven seconds of critical thinking. "Oh I guess I could've just got that from the label huh?" .... Yeah, you think. Just signing up to have your brain sanded and polished.
  15. Definite upgrade from fringe-NBA talent like Bassey and Biyombo. Much needed. Maybe they knew it before fans were yapping about missing on a big in the draft.
  16. Ilia is unbelievable man. Did not expect that to be that easy. I'd love to see Pimblett get slept jumping the line to a title shot, but apparently Dana didn't appreciate him being in the ring after the fight. Maybe we can see Justin vs Paddy and Ilia vs. Arman.
  17. Not too worried about the draft. If we were able to pick up a C, we'd still be in dire need of a 3 and D wing, as we have been for 2-3 years. We got one and now we need a C. Oh well. We'll figure it out. And we make the playoffs without one this year. If we "complete" our team next year then we are on schedule.
  18. One more future 1st rounder would be tolerable, imo. If that doesn't get it done. Walk away. Sucks that the Spurs and Suns front offices aren't on this thread so they could see how worthless Sochan is.
  19. The Bane trade package makes me not want to even try the KD trade market. 4 FRPs, a swap, and two contributing players? I can hope that the suns realize he's 37 and entering his twilight, but obvs they'll try to say he's worth more than Bane....... No thanks.
  20. My mother (73 years of age) emailed me from her yahoo email account to let me know she would be at the Harlingen No Kings Day protest. It's being organized by an area Democratic group so they notified police, and have a general rule of USA flags only, thus I'm sure it will be a lot more tame than the rest of the state. But I'm glad she still has the gumption to stand in the heat for a couple hours for her country. Let's see how much tear gas Austin gets poured on it in comparison.
  21. Saw it this weekend. I guess I liked it, solid B+. A bit hard to follow with so many characters but it kinda wraps up nicely at the end. I've seen a handful of his movies now, and maybe because I'm getting older, but his shtick seems to get sillier and sillier. The sudden cuts and zany actions seem more cartoonish than ever. It did have some funny moments though, a good handful.
  22. That Dana White Privilege can take you far! All the way to the top! But keeping that belt is a whole nother ballgame. Now we'll see if Sean has the balls and dedication to grind away against some of the great competition in the Top 5.
  23. Proud boy failures who get hard off of cosplaying soldiers while fucking with people with skin color.
  24. Honestly, they're trying to be nice about the talent, but not a lot about Marcel Reed is intriguing. He played plenty last year, and he gives off plenty of "jag" vibes. He can scramble, but he's not taking over games with it. His passing is..... serviceable. I think it's way more likely that he finishes his career as something other than an aggy.
  25. Been waiting to this team to "click" before I spend money on going to see them this year, but this season is quickly passing me by..... Was so much fun during Driussis first year. People actually seemed like they wanted to play for Austin.
