Sorry, I have no issue with teams finding loopholes and I think the tax code is a perfect example of why you can't cover every possibility via written text that has to be approved by a committee. As far as I am concerned, there is nothing wrong with rules that are focused upon safety, but let the other shit go and may the most creative and best team win.
Reward ingenuity by not doing a damn thing with Ferrari or whomever can replicated it. If someone can find a loop hole under the cost cap more power to them.
Heard this talked about 2 or 3 places early last week and it goes back to the trying to control everything through a fucking rule book. Read too many people involved with either car design or teams that said as soon as they were given something in writing they started finding ways around the written rules. Much like our daughter the CPA and the tax code.
I guess this is a big deal. A bigger pull is the Utes' offensive line coach because their line is what made that offense work and not the scheme. Not sure on Hill, he as way too short a track record as a DC to say if this is a good hire or not.
Not about liking, as mentioned before I fully recognize you don't have to like a character to appreciate them or feel a connection. Greeks, Romans, Shakespeare, a few other cultures and others, hell how many comic storylines are built around unlikeable protagonist, but gives us a reason to give a fuck as I said before I really can't find many people or reasons to give a fuck in this story. Maybe I am just artistically stunted, but I feel at times with similar movies some come across as Tom and Jean Rafio picking shades of black for Lii' Sebastian Memorial Ceremony.
My problem with Eisen wasn't any of that crap. Bluntly, he had Justin Herbert and the Chargers' collective cock in his mouth the entire broadcast. I woke up today expecting to read Justin had cured cancer, solved world hunger, broker a peace treaty in the Ukraine, AND beat the Texans all yesterday based upon Rich's tongue bath during the broadcast.
Bill Murray has a made a mint playing underdogs who are pieces of shit and there are plenty of others. Won't go into Marty because others have to still see it, but you don't have to like a character to appreciate them or become invested in their character. Take this guy for example:
I have enjoyed some of A24's work and others no so much. Didn't care for Uncut Gems because there wasn't anyone in the movie I could find to give a shit about to invest my time into the plot. Have read and talked about people who described all the tension at the end and the only tension to me was for it to get over so I could go piss because I didn't care what happened to Sandler's character. Multiply that by a factor of 10 for Marty Supreme for my family and I. I have no idea how in the world one could perceive the protagonist as silly or fun. Fuck the most fun guy is this piece of shit is his playing partner who had a sense of humor about the world and I mean the one with the ink and not the cab. I won't say anymore not to spoiler it, but this feels like a PTA or Wes movie were some people are never going to say they don't like it because they don't want to be perceived as not being in on the joke so to speak. Seinfeld terms they don't want to be seen as Elaine when she didn't understand the cartoon in the New Yorker.
Great win over the Chargers without their two starting offensive tackles. Yes, there was a some ugly shit on offense, but that isn't going away this year and teams have gone a very long way with shitty offenses. One last thing and it can't be stressed enough, FUCK RICH EISEN and I hope that fat bastard blows out both Achilles next time he tries to run a 40.
What you wrote pretty much was our conversation on the drive home. The music never fit, there is nothing that makes you care about any of the characters outside of possibly Endo, and we did find ourselves guessing if that truly was George Gervin and who played the farmer who found the dog. I truly believe this is a perfect example of people not wanting to call out total shit of a movie because of who made it, starred in it etc.....
Our son wanted Anaconda simply for the comedy of the horrifically bad CGI snake from the trailers, my Wife wanted Song Sung Blue because she loves Diamond's music, but then our youngest swayed her Mom by telling her the movie wasn't about Neil. I will openly admit that there were a few moments during the pile of shit that is Marty Supreme that I pondered changing our will and cutting our the youngest for this crime against the family.
Maybe so, he still has some pretty strong tendencies that I am not sure translate well and I am curious about the staff he brings in at Michigan. We know the DC isn't coming with him and does the bulk of the staff stay with Scalley or go to Ann Arbor. Whittingham is a guy who has coached at Utah for ~ 30 years, was in Idaho 3-4 years before that, and I can't recall where he started coaching. Harding would be a key bring and while he has been at Utah for 12 years he is from Ohio so maybe he follows to Ann Arbor.
Whittingham is going to be a very interesting choice. He is 66, very old school on some things, hasn't been a huge fan of NIL, hasn't been known to crush recruiting, runs a dated offense that at times is very one dimensional and can be stopped easier than it should with the NFL talent they have had in the lines, and at times struggled in big games in conference. Might be a home run, but I don't see much room between that or a big miss and not sure how much different this will be from the Rich Rod hire.
That sales person from Anderson Renewal made a damn good pitch catching this person coming out of the grocery store. I fully understand that sentence makes very little sense, but even my word salad isn't as fucked up as those pictures. Did you purposefully try to come up with the ugliest rooms possible? That makes Gundy's place look ALMOST tasteful.
I think the bigger question to me is whether or not we see Max make a move to other types of racing if RB can't put together a competitive car with the power unit which will be their first attempt to build one if I recall correctly. Not sure if he can find another team in F1 that will give him the freedom and autonomy as he has at RB and I could see him moving into other types of racing.
Wife and our youngest daughter voted together so as a family went to go see Marty Supreme on Christmas Day. Just don't do it, to call it dog shit would be an insult to dog shit.
We are have already been down this road before, been left for dead and based upon the loack of resources, time and energy committed to the program TCU was rightfully cast aside.
Here is a little secret, being left out of that group of 32 or 40 or whatever the number turns out to be in the end might not be such a bad thing.
Isn't matter of who is a poor or not when it comes to this, but who is wiling to continue to be lead around by the nose by the networks because right now I really can't think of who has really, truly benefitted from conference realignment the last few go arounds.
