    DMX dead.

    Did he turn comatose from a drug overdose? I know he had trouble shaking the substances
  2. New York Hill across the highway from Smokestack is better imo. Or at least just as good. Tried one on the way to get my covid vaccine and tried the other on the way back
  3. Herman probably kept hitting on his wife
  4. Texas being a basketball centric place was the only reason he kept his job as long as he did. He was hired one year after the football coach was hired. In his time that coach was fired, another coach was hired who had more success than Shaka did but was also fired before Shaka left. That said it was definitely the smart play to bail when he did. Texas Athletics has garnered a nation wide reputation for dysfunction and he was able to play off of that to land this other job
  5. When the opportunity came about, there was really three reasons for me and Maya [my wife] that we felt this was an absolute slam dunk. Number one, this is a basketball crazy place. This is basketball-centric department. Number two, it’s clear that Marquette is about family and that goes beyond sports. Number three, the alignment… there’s a common vision and it’s a shared vision that I have,” Smart said. Smart’s answer was mostly looking forward to his opportunity with the Golden Eagles, but he did say those three reasons were a “better fit” compared to Texas. https://www.kxan.com/sports/marquette-to-officially-introduce-shaka-smart-as-head-basketball-coach-monday/amp/
  6. Tbh that's what sports fans do. It's no different than what all of you have done with your football program hiring a washout alcoholic who rode Nick Saban's coattails and elite talent advantage to landing the job at your program. On paper based on his previous stops it's going to be a massive failure, but things don't always work out as they look on paper. He might be a success for you the same way Shaka might actually be a success in Marquette with different circumstances.
  7. Men regaling tales of beating up on women in sports. No wonder Americans are having far less sex these days
  8. I just can't believe that a very rich young athlete would find women seeking attention on instagram and ask them to tug on his nuggets for some money. I mean that's just insane who could ever believe it. Well, now only thing left is for him to go play for Robert Kraft
  9. I can sense the emotion in your replies and attacks on me that I'm sure stems from my opinion on America's great decline. That's clouding your judgement as you're usually not a bad poster. So here's where you're wrong: 1) it's not cherry picking. My point was around Texas' reliance on federal aid for disaster relief more than any other state. That's a massive problem when you don't have it anymore. 2) Texas ranks near the bottom in poverty level at about 14 percent before the pandemic hit. With the callous leadership and the shit way things were handled combined with the issues from the power grid failure I'm sure that's a lot higher now but no numbers out yet on that. The state leadership can't even be at or below average nationally in poverty level even with the oil and gas industry and all that federal aid. Good luck trying to do it as a nation with a most likely shit currency compared to the dollar and no aid coming in. Try again.
  10. Which we would the moment one of them clamors to kick Texas' ass. Although Catalonia has a lot more bargaining power holding a bigger percentage of wealth compared to the rest of Spain than Texas does to the US. Not sure why any Texan would want independence seeing how the US treats small countries with no military power, but it would give me a way to convince the wife to move overseas so I'm actually all for it happening.
  11. That's why I didn't say federal money I said federal aid. Could have clarified and said fema aid but so soon after it was a hot topic with the power grid failures didn't think that was necessary. You all got your panties in a bunch because I talked about massive decline with the US and now you're sensitive and looking for anything to attack me on. Which is par for the course attacking the messenger instead of self evaluation and trying to be better. But carry on with it if you must I can ignore it
  12. With just the Texas national guard? I'm sure the US will promptly be closing their bases and removing the $$ billions in equipment and manpower. How are they going to get to Catalonia to fight a war without Air Force/Navy planes? Build some wooden boats?
  13. So much of this is absolutely false. You are a fucking moron. Tell me how it's false? Explain And I didn't say I think Catalonia's quest for independence is a good idea either. Just they have more of a case for it than Texas. Texas just has lunatic leadership that likes to talk but take no action unless it further enriches themselves.
  14. https://www.valuepenguin.com/which-states-depend-on-fema-aid most federal aid money. So I guess they will expect the hurricanes to never happen again after independence judging from their "planning" for power grid emergency.
  15. I've been comparing to another area of a country that has been clamoring for independence: Catalonia in Spain. Major difference is Catalonia has Barcelona as a major port city and is a wealthy area of Spain that is wanting to keep their tax dollars from propping up poorer parts of Spain. By contrast Texas is relatively poor in resources other than oil and gas and takes more from Federal US aid than any other state. Seeing how their "principles" are all flowery idealistic nonsense That sounds like a fantastic plan they have there.
