    I'm calling my shot here - Curry is going to win MVP. He went for 31 last night with 25 of them in the second half and he sat out most of the fourth quarter. Jokic and Embiid are both deserving, but what he's doing on a nightly basis is unprecedented. I think the nuggets injuries are going to start to show up in the loss column and it's going to let him slip in. 

    And his team is .500. Joker should be the MVP hands down at this point.

    I really think it's time for Michael Edwards and Klopp to explore their options in replacing Mane. He's a shell of his former self. If they can find a suitable replacement, they should move on. I love Sadio but I fear his best days might be behind him. 

    It’s a worry but I also think we need to make some tactical adjustments over there. Teams have focused on cutting the supply to Sadio from Robertson especially the long passes up the sideline. Sadio has much less space to work with. That said, he’s been awful.

    The moment they have to draw the lines, that should end the VAR check for offsides. If it’s that close, they should just stop. 

    I think the Dutch league has a margin of error in their system. The officials on field still signal for offsides if they see it (unlike England) and if it’s within the margin then the call on the field goes.

    Or, Fuck the EU it's its idiotic rules.

    I have seen European Government in action, in Strasbourg, and it sucks. Rules can be changed.

    Why punish the players for the problems of the clubs?

    I remember on TOS that crassness and attitude was on brand in conversations. Almost required to be "in". Now the Right screams PC and unfairness every chance they get because they get their feelers hurt from even a whiff of questioning their reality. 

    It’s surly. The site motto was “buncha assholes” for a reason

    There was no finally, I answered them because I wanted to in my time, and for the record you saying answer my questions doesn't mean jack to me if I don't feel the need.

    I have no idea what your state is doing with voting laws. I think every person should have the same opportunity to vote as any other citizen provided they're registered, and have a valid ID.  Is what Texas is doing voter suppression ?  I don't know enough about the legislation to speak on it with any veracity, but not providing an equal opportunity to vote is a form of suppression.

    There isn't a single piece of legislation that you or I would agree with every clause, If the legislation is intended to be voter suppression then I am opposed to it. 

    My comment was about water being given to people in a line to vote. You didn't answer my question about how giving thing to people in line can be abused.  But hey that's cool. You do you, and stay the grand inquisitor.

    You gonna reciprocate and address my question about the potential for abuse giving things to people in line to vote by campaign workers  ?  Or are you the only one to ask questions ?  

     

     

    We already have laws for electioneering but you knew that.

    Anyone been to Pinkertons on a Thursday afternoon/evening ? Someone at work planned a get together there at 5. My thought was that since they have the full bar and so $1 beers they might cook more food and not be out of stuff, but I’m starting to rethink that. 

    This would be good info for me as well

    You can’t go wrong with either. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a meal at Pinkertons that wasn’t exemplary, and even then it was good but my expectations had been set very high. I also think Pinkertons gets a little extra love on here because the dude is a huge UT fan. 

    He’s a poster here as well. Or at least he was on TOS

    Probably because of his college career but if it's just pro stats, he'd be right on the edge.  I guess it depends on how you think of guys like LMA or Peja for current guys.  LMA had a little better career in the pros, Peja slightly not as good.  Chris Webber maybe a similar comp in the pros.  Webber's college career pushes him over the edge easily.  Blake didn't have quite the pro or college career but close.

    Basketball HOF is the easiest to get into because of the totality of careers.

    100%. I wish they would separate the HOF into college and pro instead of just basketball

    Agreed.  It’s mostly the teammates.  Paul has played with almost no HOFers in their prime except for Harden and they were probably a game away.

    Blake will 100% be in the HOF.

    That said I’ll take CP3 over IT all day.

    Well, lately the lines haven't been too crazy.  At least on weekdays.  And you can still stroll in after lunch, but they (Pinkerton's and Truth) will likely be out of some items.

    Well shit. Thanks for the advice.

    I think I am in the minority here, but yes. I talked about this in the Texas BBQ thread, but I had 3 bad experiences in a row at Pinkerton’s. For a long while Pinkerton’s was my go to in Houston. However, I tried again recently and had a solid meal. I didn’t think it was better than Truth though. I have never had a bad meal at the Houston location of truth and have been many, many times. Just my $.02.

    Is Truth a get there and line up place or can I just swing by after a baseball game?

    A false choice again. 
     

    Ex. Unchecked illegal immigration/asylum directly hurts our working class people of color as they compete for jobs, housing, education and health care. 

    Prove it. 
     

    Pretending the Republican Party isn’t an open enemy of POC doesn’t help your argument. Again you want to argue a fantasy that’s not supported by facts or evidence. Sorry. This is why y’all bailed to DT. You stopped being able to defend these ridiculous positions the Republicans have dug into. The party supports racist policies. Either you support those or some other Republican policy is important enough to you that you accept the racism. Just own it.
