  1. Sterling is a big-time shooter off the basketball who made 44% of his threes, on over 8 attempts per game, during the Pro16 season. He has extreme gravity as a floor spacer (12-18 on open catch-and-shoot threes), but is also a tough shot-maker off the bounce. He’s a limited athlete who can get swallowed up in the lane at times, but a good ball-handler who is very adept at holding his dribble and probing until he gets just enough separation for his pull-up. He’s much more limited at the rim and actually shot a lower percentage inside the arc than he did beyond it. For whatever physical gifts he may lack, he compensates not just with skill, but intangibles and feel for the game. He passes and cuts well, all while understanding what his niche is, has solid positional size, innate toughness and competitiveness. Joe Sterling is a 6-4, 180-pound Combo Guard from Encino, CA.
  2. Did someone die twice?
  3. The pool guy on this site may be a good place to start - Is it @Poolflood ?
  4. I don't know if Sark is cool to party with but my wife's close friend use to date him and said that he is very giving in bed. I'm paraphrasing a bit but she said that he has a magic tongue and after her second date with him, she threw away her rabbit. Further, she said, he is even better when he's had a few drinks.
  5. Looks like we will continue to have a great defense. It would be nice to have a complete team, though.
  6. Yeah, I’m about to pay $31000 for a used truck. I wanted a beater but dealerships in the Rockies want $20K for a 8yr old truck with 90000 miles. That sounds crazy when I could buy a new fully loaded Hyundai Santa Fe in 2012 for $28K. $45K now seems to be on the low end for such vehicles and I don’t think salaries are matching that increase. Maybe I’m wrong, though, since it seems like most people are still buying with $600/mo payments.
  7. Yeah, I have 1st cousin who has since retired but was head of IT for GM. He and I discussed the topic at a thanksgiving dinner before Covid. For him, it was going to be a huge win because it moves IT from an expense to a profit center.
  8. Wait until all the auto companies charge an annual subscription fee for their software.
  9. Ukraine destroys Russian Buk air defense system worth $45 million, military says October 27, 2025 6:13 am by Abbey Fenbert Ukrainian forces successfully detected and destroyed a state-of-the-art Russian Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile system valued at $45 million, Ukraine's Land Forces reported on Oct. 26. The Buk-M3 is one of Russia's key air defense assets, used to engage targets in the air, on the ground, and on the water. Ukraine's "Black Forest" brigade struck the target at an unspecified location, the military said. The brigade shared video footage of the operation. The Buk is a self-propelled, medium-range surface-to-air missile system, first developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. In the decades since, the Soviet Union and then Russia developed several upgraded versions. The Buk-M3 is manufactured by Russia's Almaz-Antey defense company, and canreportedly track and engage up to 36 targets simultaneously. The system is designed to target planes, helicopters, cruise missiles, and drones. The Buk gained worldwide infamy in 2014 with the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. Ukraine has reported destroying Russian Buk systems in previous strikes. In September, Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) reported a successful hit on a Buk-M3 in the Russian-occupied part Zaporizhzhia Oblast. In May, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces said they destroyed a Buk-M3 in an undisclosed front-line sector.
  10. Ukrainian drones target Moscow in overnight attack, mayor says October 27, 2025 1:04 am (Updated: October 27, 2025 2:54 am) Editor's Note: This is a developing story. Dozens of drones targeted the city of Moscow overnight on Oct. 26-27, according to Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. Sobyanin began reporting attacks on the Russian capital on the evening of Oct. 26. As of publication time, Russian forces have reportedly shot down 34 Ukrainian drones flying toward Moscow. Emergency services have been dispatched to all crash sites, Sobyanin said. The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims. Moscow's Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports have temporarily suspended operations in response to the drone threat. Explosions have been reported in multiple parts of the city and the surrounding region, including the Kommunarka district, according to Russian Telegram channels. No casualties have been reported. A fire broke out at on oil depot in Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast, on the evening of Oct. 26, the Russian Telegram news channel Astra reported, citing eyewitness footage. The local administration did not disclose the cause of the fire and said the blaze had already been extinguished. Ukrainian authorities have not commented on the reported strikes. Kyiv regularly uses long-range drones to target military and industrial targets in Russia, including oil refineries, weapons factories, and ammunition depots. Ukraine allegedly targeted Moscow with 34 drones in a previous overnight strike on Sept. 22. Russia regularly launches large-scale missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. Over the past two nights, mass attacks against Kyiv have killed five people and left dozens injured. President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Oct. 26 that Russia has attacked Ukraine with nearly 1,200 strike drones and 50 missiles — primarily ballistic missiles — in the past week alone.
  11. What I found interesting is that the military spending was mainly done off the books by forcing banks to lend to companies without requiring collateral while said companies have a poor history of profitability and repayment. So basically the central bank looks okay on the surface but the books of the individual banks look terrible and when those banks start failing, the house of cards will suddenly collapse. And already those banks are having to limit expenditures this year.
  12. Long article but very informative.

    Pre NIL it was way up there. Lots of talent in Louisiana, Mississippi and East Texas with no in state competition. Now that recruiting is money based - no fucking way.
  14. Bevo replied to Fug's topic in Football
    Based on limited highlights, I like their lower ranked OT recruit, Bryson Cooley, but don't think much of their higher rated guy, Brysten Martinez. And of course everyone wants DL Lamar Brown, DE Trenton Henderson. I think we showed some interest in WR Jabari Mack.
  15. Why Russians are fighting against Russia: ‘Putin has not only ruined Ukraine, he’s ruined my country’ Sam Kiley meets Russian volunteers in Ukraine’s army near the southern front line who explain why they turned on Vladimir Putin – and how they’re happy to kill their countrymen Saturday 25 October 2025 14:44 BST From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. Your support makes all the difference. Working as an agent for Ukraine and attacking Russia’s railways was pretty easy, says Lazzy – a Russian fighting against his own country. “It’s not that complicated. Anyone in Russia can freely buy gasoline – for now, while some refineries still work – and set the railway on fire,” he explains. “Of course, you need to prepare the exit routes. To plan the operation, so to speak. You can’t just go for a walk and decide to do it. First, recon, then action. But in fact, anyone can do it.” The saboteur burned “several” railway-switching and electrical systems in arson attacks in Russia’s Volga region. The truth, though, is that it was dangerous and ate away at his nervous system. Which is why he walked across Russia’s border and joined Ukraine’s army to fight against Vladimir Putin. For the last year, he has been a frontline soldier battling in the shattered rubble of what is now known as the “dead zone”, because it’s so thinly populated by soldiers from both sides, all hiding from enemy drones – with occasional sneak attacks in person. “I think it’s easier for me here. Because in Russia, I constantly felt fear for my life,” he says. “Here in Ukraine, FSB and GRU [secret service] networks are not so strong. In Russia, it’s much more dangerous. Also, [in Russia] there are many people who support the regime. Say the wrong word and they will rat on you.” Lazzy chose to fight Putin’s regime because of what he saw as cronyism, corruption and the destruction of democracy: “Russia must have a future.” As he talks, his face is hidden and he’s known only by his military callsign. The Independent met him just a short drive from the front lines where he’s fighting in Ukraine’s south. “Here, in Ukraine, I can defend myself with weapons. Yes, it’s scary on the positions. They want to kill you. But it’s clear: either you or them.” He is part of Ukraine’s Freedom of Russia Legion, which operates under the control of Kyiv’s military intelligence services like other foreign volunteer units. The legion claims to field several hundred men. They are all Russians. In Moscow they would be executed as traitors. In Ukraine, they have fought in Sumy province, lost heavily in the bitter battle for Bakhmut, and say they have been involved in driving back recent Russian assaults on the front line of the southern battlefields. Ukraine has stepped up its campaign both inside occupied territory and in Russia itself. In its most spectacular strikes, Ukraine managed to disable Russian bombers in the covert Operation Spiderweb, involving multiple targets and agents on the ground. Russian refineries and power stations are regularly attacked by Ukraine’s new long-range drones. But the Freedom of Russia Legion has eyes on defending Ukraine locally. And then fighting in Russia to topple Putin altogether. The latter would be welcomed by Kyiv but is not a stated aim. Ceasar, a veteran Russian fighter in Ukraine’s army, began his opposition against Putin with what he calls “terrorist attacks”. For at least the last three-and-a-half years he has been in Ukraine’s army. He is driven by religious fervour and monarchist dreams of the return of a tsar to Russia. Originally from Sochi, he says he does not worry about killing fellow Russians. “I do not feel bad for killing my own citizens, because they’re doing very bad things here and I saw how they killed civilians, how they raped, how they robbed and they want to destroy Ukraine. Putin has ruined not only Ukraine, he's ruined also my country,” says Ceasar. He is armed, like Lazzy, with a modern M16-type rifle, originally an American design. It is rapidly replacing the AK-47 in Ukraine’s armoury. Ceasar describes the reality on the front lines of a war he has chosen to join. “There’s not a lot of military personnel at the front like it was two or three years ago. We are all dispersed. We are now about two or three men, at most, sitting in a bunker. Because if we will put there, a dozen men, they will be killed,” he says. “It’s very dangerous to move in and move out. It’s the most dangerous part of the operation.” Soldiers are forced to spend weeks, sometimes months, in foxholes and bunkers, trying to survive constant artillery and drone attacks. Referring to Lazzy, he continues: “On the last operation he was about 45 days on the position. I was about three weeks. It’s really hard. “Every day, every time you dig in, dig in, dig in and again, dig in.” Over the last few weeks, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has been touring the West seeking long-range missiles and air-defence systems. Putin has stepped up attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure, focusing on energy and transport systems ahead of the winter freeze. Russian troops have also advanced in small bounds at huge cost east of Kharkiv, and already committed murder in Pokrovsk against local civilians left behind by Ukrainian withdrawal. But drone warfare has kept the Russians back. Ukraine’s problem is that drones cannot fly in high winds, rain, fog or when it is snowing. Putin’s forces are likely to exploit bad winter weather and attempt to break through Ukrainian lines when drones are grounded. That is when Lazzy and Ceasar will face their toughest test.
  16. Well, there is our problem. Don't recruit scrubs and you might not have a scrub oline. Our highly rated guys on the OL have done pretty well. The 3 stars have been a mixed bag. With that said, our currently committed highly ranked white lineman from unknown wealth sucks despite the 4star ranking.
  17. Dan Neil, Gene Chilton, Doug Dawson, Lyle Sendlein, Kasey Studdard, Mason Walters, Connor Williams (don't know anything about Coppell and I think his mom is hispanic) so I don't think this is the problem. Who highly rated have we recruited for the offensive line lately from wealthy families?
  18. She looks like she could use some comforting. Need more pics, link to Only Fans page, to confirm.
  19. KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine overnight into Saturday killed at least three people and wounded 17 others, local officials said. In the capital, Kyiv, one person was killed and ten wounded in a ballistic missile attack in the early hours of Saturday, Timur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv’s city military administration, said. Three of the wounded were hospitalized, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service. A fire broke out in a non-residential building in one location, while debris from intercepted missiles fell in an open area at another site, damaging windows in nearby buildings, the emergency service wrote on Telegram. “Explosions in the capital. The city is under ballistic attack,” Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram during the onslaught. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, two people were killed and seven wounded, acting regional Gov. Vladyslav Haivanenko said, adding that apartment buildings, private homes, an outbuilding, a shop and at least one vehicle were damaged in the strikes. Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched nine missiles and 62 drones, of which air defenses intercepted four missiles and 50 drones. In Russia, the country’s defense ministry said its air defenses shot down 121 Ukrainian drones over Russia overnight. The attacks came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the United States on Friday to expand sanctions on Russian oil from two companies to the whole sector, and appealed for long-range missiles to hit back at Russia. Zelenskyy was in London for talks with two dozen European leaders who have pledged military help to shield his country from future Russian aggression if a ceasefire stops the more than three-year war. The meeting hosted by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer aimed to step up pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding momentum to recent measures that have included a new round of sanctions from the United States and European countries on Russia’s vital oil and gas export earnings. The talks also addressed ways of helping protect Ukraine’s power grid from Russia’s almost daily drone and missile attacks as winter approaches, enhancing Ukrainian air defenses, and supplying Kyiv with longer-range missiles that can strike deep inside Russia. Zelenskyy has urged the U.S. to send Tomahawk missiles, an idea U.S. President Donald Trump has flirted with.
  20. Putin envoy Dmitriev says US, Ukraine and Russia close to 'diplomatic solution' on war By Gleb Bryanski and Jasper Ward October 24, 20254:37 PM MDTUpdated 9 hours ago The head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund Kirill Dmitriev speaks after the U.S.-Russia talks in Riyadh The head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund Kirill Dmitriev speaks to members of the delegation and journalists after the U.S.-Russia talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, February 18, 2025. REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov Purchase Licensing Rights MOSCOW/WASHINGTON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Kirill Dmitriev, Russian President Vladimir Putin's special envoy for investment and economic cooperation, said on Friday he believes his country, the United States and Ukraine are close to a diplomatic solution to end Russia's war in Ukraine. Speaking to CNN after arriving in Washington for talks with U.S. officials, Dmitriev said that a meeting between Donald Trump and Putin had not been cancelled, as the U.S. president described it, and that the two leaders will likely meet at a later date. The planned summit was put on hold on Tuesday, as Russia's rejection of an immediate ceasefire cast a cloud over attempts at negotiations. Trump said he cancelled the planned meeting with Putin in Budapest because of a lack of progress in diplomatic efforts toward ending the war and a sense that the timing was off. However, Dmitriev on Friday said, "I believe Russia and the U.S. and Ukraine are actually quite close to a diplomatic solution." Dmitriev in his comments did not offer details of what this would entail. European nations are working with Ukraine on a new proposal for a ceasefire in the war along current battle lines, European diplomats told Reuters this week, mainly incorporating ideas already under discussion while pressing to keep the United States in a central role. "It's a big move by President Zelenskiy to already acknowledge that it's about battle lines," Dmitriev said. "You know, his previous position was that Russia should leave completely - so actually, I think we are reasonably close to a diplomatic solution that can be worked out." Russia launched its large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Trump had announced last week that he and Putin would meet soon in Hungary to try to bring an end to the war. But Putin has been unwilling to consider concessions. Russia has long demanded that Ukraine agree to cede more territory before any ceasefire. Dmitriev's visit to the United States for a long-planned meeting takes place against the backdrop of newly announced U.S. sanctions on two of Russia's biggest oil companies - a move aimed at pressing Putin to end the war. Despite the move, Dmitriev said dialogue between Russia and the United States will continue. "It is certainly only possible if Russia's interests are taken into account and treated with respect," Dmitriev earlier told Reuters. Dmitriev declined to say who he was meeting and predicted that the U.S. oil sanctions would backfire. "They will only lead to gasoline costing more at American gas stations," Dmitriev said. The U.S. news outlet Axios reported that Dmitriev would meet Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami on Saturday. The Russian state TASS news agency quoted Dmitriev as saying he would also meet other people who he did not name. Reporting by Gleb Bryanski and Jasper Ward; Editing by Andrew Osborn and Will Dunham
