    Is this a serious post? Being an EE gives you a huge advantage towards being ready to play as a freshman. Talented or less talented. 

    Name the EE who were big contributors their true freshman year. 

    Then say which of them wouldn't have been contributors if they had finished HS like normal and enrolled in the fall.

    Oh I agree at some point it will...but we've been saying it about the  Rams for a couple years no to no ill effect.

     

    And if it gets a SB, why should it matter that they'll have some bad contracts later one...get that win like the Rams did.

    They built up a defense that was good enough before going all in and really started it with the Ramsey trade. Do you really feel confident with this team and with how Dak looked the last half of the season and playoff game that going all in now would get it done? They'd basically forefit the last several years of Dak's prime if they did it now. 

    I'd wait and see how I could build in the draft and how Dak progresses before going all in during the last few years of Dak's prime. Part of that is building up draft capital now but of course they're idiots who only get a 5th round pick for Cooper because they let everyone know they do their deals not just expecting but needing to cut these contracts after 2-3 years. The Cowboys leadership isn't capable of properly executing an All-In plan.

    Did you have the opportunity to make 7 figures without taking a snap as an 18 year old? You should admire the kids who can make a business decision like that. 

    That was Ewers and the majority of early enroll guys don't have that. But even in Ewers' case if you're that good that money will be waiting for you after you finish HS. 

    The vast majority of EE only skip their spring semester but IMO that's a really good time for a young kid's development and experience that you can never buy back again later. 

    I don't know if there's even a tangible benefit to it either. Unless you're going to be starting QB as a true freshman you're going to get plenty of time to acclimate to college by enrolling in the summer. How many EE guys are kicking ass playing big minutes their freshman season, and of the few guys that do their talent and physicality is so advanced I think they'd be on the same track without the EE.

    We already know you peaked in high school Uncle Rico 

    I was accepted into an academy summer after graduation to get in with a club team instead of going as a younger youth. I don't regret it at all

    Once again, the Cap, or at least the idea that it's finite and can't be worked around, is complete bull shit.

    The Cowboys could afford to keep almost everyone they want AND sign other players if they were smart and worked the system at all...they simply don't' want to.  

     

    Stephen is worse than Jerry ever was.  

    The Rams are doing this by back loading a shit load of deals. Every one of these they've signed are back loaded. They've also lost quite a bit from this season including their pro bowl LT. 

    I don't know how they'll be competitive past the next season or two. They traded away so much draft capital and have so much money tied up in back loaded contracts.

    The Russian people are not victims, nor are they innocents in all this.  They traded a bit of wealth in exchange for turning a blind eye to an autocrat.  They've had 25 years to affect internal change, yet continually chose to ignore this and the mounting problems that came with Putin, instead to take vacations in places like Thailand.  Saying that they turned a blind eye to it is actually generous, they in fact cheered it on.  Are they directly responsible, no, but I have (my own opinion, and mine only) a hard time feeling bad for their current plight, especially when you consider that there are people dead in Ukraine who are truly innocent and victims.  I'm not rooting for the terrors of massive austerity that are about to occur in Russia, but there is such a thing of reaping what you sow.  When you turn a blind eye to dictator because its economically agreeable to you in the short term, don't expect me to cry on your behalf when those chicken's come home to roost.  

    Holy shit. I don't know if you're American but look at what we've done, what we've "failed to stop", and where we're headed. I know I personally hate it so much but could do nothing to change any of it. So I've moved to New Zealand for 7 months out of the year and come back to Texas for December through April to tend to in person work and be with family.

    I'm curious, in this post freeze Texas energy market, is energy ogre still worth it? Or do their cheaper competitors offer better value? Do increasing oil/natural gas prices mean a long term contract would be better right now?

     With the Russian War, high inflation, and whatever is coming politically here I doubt prices will drop over the next 5 to 10 years. But I'm no expert just seems that's where the winds are headed. 

    For people who work in this arena where are the best rates currently? My parents plan ends in June and I'd like to find them the best rate possible. 

  7. If I were her I think I would have had the lawyer extort more millions out of Jerry with the claim that she had no ability to understand and be bound by the NDA as a baby so she needs her own deal now for silence. Would rather have that than everyone knowing your father is the most hated non political person in the state of Texas and the guy who single handedly ruined one of Texas' most famous entities.

    From Molly McKew:

    Nice speech but she failed to mention what it is she would like Biden to do here. 

    Russia is getting bled out militarily Ukraine. He's got so much shit on his hands there he won't be able to invade any other countries unless he goes full withdrawal from Ukraine. He's stuck. Why throw him a lifeline? Just let him keep fucking himself while telling him he can leave Ukraine at any time and keep his people in Russia and the sanctions will be pulled back. 

    How do these people not understand that just because the US government isn't having conferences declaring how they're fighting Putin right now doesn't mean they aren't fighting him. This case calls for clandestine operation not vocal belligerence. The lives of 300+ million Americans and billions in North America, Europe, and Asia are at stake.

    you are just pissed that I am not jerking off to the thought of you bragging about getting pounded while thousands of civillians are being slaughtered. 

     

    you have valid points to make, you have valid posts every so often.  but you need to start using that grey matter in your brain as it becomes more and more likely that these stories are very tough to confirm, or corroaborate and can either be embellished or partially made up.

    having a blue checkmark helps, but at this point, any Ukrainian with a blue checkmark is not always posting the whole story and doing much fact checking themselves unless they are directly part of the UA govt.

     

    for example your post with the tweet about the dead 6 year old girl.  I am not saying its fake, I am not saying it didnt happen.  However, heres the concern. 

    #1. the story doesnt tell us who provided the information.   HOW did it get found out when the post implies her whole family except maybe dad is dead. Lets assume based on the story, the most likely person to survive to talk about her is the father. 

    #2. who provided the picture this quickly in the war?  again, the father is a prime candidate, maybe aunts or uncles...

    but again, the tweet gives us NONE of that information, it just says that a 6 year old girl, her brother, mom, and grandparents were all kiled and includes a picture of a cute girl but NO CORROBORATING INFO. who provided the picture?

     

    I am very Pro Ukraine I grew up on Red Dawn and Rocky 4.  I am NOT in anyway pro Russia, but I am pro-correct information, which right now is in very short supply and tweets with pictures about dead little girls and their familes is doing EXACTLY what it is intended to do in regards to you and others like you...

    and by you, I mean middle class white american parents with younger kids whose hearts imaging their own kids in that situation who then retweet and repost the story without taking 10 seconds to think "does this story make sense, and maybe I should point out some possible plot holes before I rush to post it on Surly"   

    She's posting stuff she sees and wants to post. It's up to you if you want to verify anything she posts. Google "Ukraine 6 year old girl" and numerous outlets have the story with the pic of the mom and the ambulance, if that's the one you're talking about.

    If you don't want that put her on ignore.

    Just attacking her and being a condescending cunt with stuff like this just makes you look like a sexist ass:

    Can't stand the CR thread....I do think there's room for a happy medium but it ain't my message board. 

    Don't be a whiny bitch pussy. That thread is fine there's tons of good links.

    There's no other thread needed. Here's all you need to know:

    It's 11 days in and Russia hasn't even fully captured the Russian sympathetic Eastern Ukraine cities and have gotten so flustered they're targeting civilians now.

    That alone tells you theyre fucking it all up. The propaganda isn't hard to cut through if you look at the big picture actions.

    If you want proof they're targeting civilians watch some BBC and CNN. They're showing dozens of residential neighborhoods being bombed out and bodies in the street. That doesnt happen by accident.

    I felt like I had seen this guy somewhere before but couldn't place him. Then I remembered it was a John Oliver segment about this guy doing a local car dealer commercial where he says he drove himself to the hospital after sawing off his nuts or something crazy like that

    His little character did get him staying on the UFC roster, then went from fighting nobodies to beating up RDA, Lawler, Woodley and a couple title shots.

    I think he's in the Chael Sonnon school of pro wrasslin heel because his fight style isn't enough. 

    Kayla Harrison supposedly knows him really well since he was a kid and said he was a shy guy who was boring and was about to get dropped by the UFC so his manager created that trumpy heel persona but the kid took it too far. That's her story anyway.

    Does he not have any power at all? For all the shots he got on Masvidal there was no cut and not even any swelling whatsoever. Masvidal didn't look like he had been in much of a fight much less a guy who had been hit repeatedly for 25 minutes. Covington's face looked way worse and he took many fewer hits. I was thinking his style was close to that of Khabib but Khabib was way more fun to watch. I think it's because he didn't just get a guy against the cage and ride out decisions. He finished people once he got then down there.

    He'll never be any kind of a draw because he's so dull but my hope is Chimaev gets to him and we can see who's the better grappler. Although it looks like Chimaev has way more power.

    Yeah just like one of these dudes were.just supposed to send the other to the morgue

    Night's still young. Maybe Jorge can channel his inner Cain Velazquez but with better accuracy. Improve the sport by subtraction.
