  1. You're free to interpret that in a way that gets your rocks off, but I stand by it. The Lebron sweepstakes to Miami hurt the NBA. Not blaming him, not even saying he was wrong to leave Cleveland. But it changed everything and IMO basketball fans are the ones that took it on the chin. Fans are loyal and they like loyalty. This Luka situation is different though. The organization abandoned their fanbase. Per reports so far, this deal was apparently done in secret and blindsided everyone involved except for the 2 GMs. It's incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional to everyone else involved, including the fans. This shit will linger.
  2. This situation is so gross and so cynical. It will hurt the NBA in general. Fuck the Dallas GM and their ownership group.
  3. Now hearing rumors that Musk is going to buy the Cowboys, change their name to the ProudBoys, then exit the NFL and turn them into a StarCraft Esports team.
  4. I mean, I wouldn't trade Amen Thompson for what Dallas got in return for Luka.
  5. Which brings into question if not wanting to pay him is the "only realistic conclusion".
  6. Congrats to the DFW area Trumpers that are watching Miriam Adelson destroy the Mavericks in real time.
  7. I just saw this news. Ho. Lee. Shit.
  8. Is the trial set for March 2026 or something like that? Assuming Lively has no other evidence in her back pocket, they have to consider moving to a settlement. Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift are not gonna want the bad press for another full year and you know their PR people want this to go away ASAP. But I'd guess Baldoni's team won't want to settle without a clear, full apology from Lively that exonerates him from any wrongdoing. And a fuckload of money. Gonna be interesting.
  9. Bump. This might be the best worst OP in Surly history.
  10. "That looks like a massive impact. Hope the road is okay."
  11. Also loved that he made sure people knew Silas Bolden is a badass.
  12. Looks like Arch is on a mini press run after his partnership with Red Bull. Here's a more lighthearted interview.
  13. Trump and his administration have blood on their hands. Probably waiting to see if any of the deceased are immigrants before they can high five each other.
  14. Make Airplanes Grievous Again
  15. Indeed. Hopefully that was one of the last interviews he does where it's just talking about the Manning family the entire time. A conversation about actual football would be nice.
  16. You simply have to stick with this squad and see what happens in the postseason. Playoff basketball is a different animal, maybe the inexperience for most of them will be detrimental. But this team plays with the kind of physicality and defense needed for playoff basketball. It's fair to think they can make a run if they stay healthy. As a fanbase, we've had to be very patient with the rebuild. I don't want to make any big moves this year. We finally have the juice, let it play out and adjust the roster as necessary in the offseason.
  17. He loves that song too. I had a big AM phase and a few tracks really grabbed him.
  18. I asked by 7 year old to compile his Top 10, based on his car ride play list we've curated over the last couple of years: It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock'n'Roll) - AC/DC Lola - The Kinks Janie Jones - The Clash Last in Line - Dio No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn - Beastie Boys Immigrant Song - LZ Destroyer - The Kinks I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor - The Arctic Monkeys Iron Man - Black Sabbath Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
  19. RIP. I can only imagine he was very proud of you.
  20. While the truth is all the matters, here is my bias since the evidence started coming out. I had to deal with consistent narcissistic abuse in the past. The manipulation and gaslighting is something I would never wish upon anyone else. Only when you get out, and the fog eventually lifts, can you see the psychological hell you had to deal with during that time. If you haven't experienced it, consider yourself very lucky. I guarantee some people you know are going through it, even though they might not even realize it yet. Since then, I've been very cognizant of the red flags. Of the actual evidence that has come out - text chains, voice memos, etc. - it all screams to me that Lively is a severe narcissist. And Baldoni's constant placating and people pleasing is the food these psychological predators live off of. They see kindness as weakness. Give them an inch, they take a mile. Again, if further evidence proves otherwise, I'll admit to being wrong.
