    OK, but in the previous post you seemed opposed to the rules that create the loopholes. I'm just saying they have no choice but to create a formula with rules. Lots of rules.

    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.

    I was reading Tucker comparisons, and we gave him like $2M , right? Tucker or Alvarez comparisons are pretty good. I did see he was 11/16 in SBs so he has a little more speed than Alvarez.

    Fuck the speed question. did he ever consume calcium during his development years or does he basically have mush for bones like Alvarez?

    Yeah, of course. But they don't really have a choice.

    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.

    Yeah some ppl think they've found a way to basically increase the piston stroke at operating temp, by making the connecting rods from some alloy that will shorten on the downstroke and lengthen on the upstroke, thus drawing in more air on the downstroke and compressing it more on the upstroke. Of course, as always with F1, It doesn't end there. It seems theFIA (Tombazis) screwed the pooch when asked for clarification about it, and didn't make all the teams aware of the clarification that would allow that. I'm not sure if he's supposed to do that or not. Just passing along what I've been reading.

    ETA: However, afaik the engine regs still aren't even 100% set in stone yet, as amazing as that sounds, which means, afaik, that it's not all settled yet.

    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.

    REPORT: Kyle Whittingham Stealing Coaches from BYU and Utah; Jay Hill and Jason Beck Gone?

    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.

    Murray’s characters are likable, at least for the most part. Lector is so likable they invented a sympathetic backstory for him. That’s not what Marty is supposed to be, and Chalamet (whom I am not particularly a fan of) nails it IMO

    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.

    Hopefully they take notice and remove Eisen

    Article

    Eisen was accused by fans of sounding monotone, devoid of energy, and not matching the intensity and significance of the game.

    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.

    Marty Supreme is about an underdog that’s not particularly likable and a fairly shitty human being. And there is no redemption arc to speak of. If you think a protagonist needs to be mostly a good guy this movie is not for you.

    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:

    We have tickets to see Marty Supreme on the 31st after a boozy lunch. Wife and I are both A24 dorks and loved Uncut Gems so hopefully Marty Supreme doesn’t suck.

    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.

    The tough part there is when he was the starter at TCU he was kind of terrible. He had to go a level down to be productive. That should be a huge red flag. 

    Kind of terrible? He was total shit who wouldn't run between the tackles and lost his starting job to a wide receiver.

  11. 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.

    This is actually an understatement.

    I was actively rooting against the "protagonist" about halfway through. Maybe that was the point, but it was just a terrible movie, poorly told. 130 minutes of shit and then it turns into multiple poorly done movie cliches at the end.

    Before that the story was all luck and coincidence and absurd plot points. The soundtrack for some reason leaned on 80s pop for a film set in the 50s. Even that was dumb.

    There wasn't anything interesting about it. Nothing. Except maybe George Gervin's cameo. As a Spurs fan that was legitimately the only redeeming thing about the film.

    I went in knowing nothing. They could have made it a sports movie, which I thought it may have been, about a table tennis player and it could have been great.

    The wife wanted to see this one. I now get to choose the next 5 movies minimally, just based on how shitty this choice was.

    surprised mind reading GIF

    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.....

    We debated between Song,Sung, Blue and Marty Supreme. Glad she won the debate after your report!

    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.

    He needs a solid GM that runs in NIL/recruiting and a great offensive coordinator. He will rock it if he gets that

    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.

    He was one of the 15 best prospects in the draft imho.  Elite bat speed and power and doesn’t have a launch angle problem or a plate discipline issue.  He will also have defensive value.  It’ll boil down to his swing and miss against elite pitching but he could be a star.

    Just for clarity sake, do the Astros now care about swing and miss tendencies?

  16. 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.

    Ignore this post unless you want to laugh at the horrific taste of some insanely wealthy fuck from Ann Arbor https://www.redfin.com/MI/Ann-Arbor/414-S-Main-St-48104/unit-10/home/99381131

    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.

    So...talk to me like I'm 5. Isn't that a big deal? Is this a precursor to Max to merc or no?

    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.

    all of the words written and spoken about the structure of college football miss this key point:

     

    the name of the current structure is the Football BOWL Subdivision - the FBS

    we are 11 years in to the new era of the Football PLAYOFF League - we're just pretending it doesn't exist yet

     

    this season there were 136 teams in the FBS

    for avoidance of doubt, in 1978 the ncaa split the "top" level of college football in to:

    Division I-A (FBS): The top tier, which had specific criteria for membership, including average home game attendance requirements, 139 teams in 1978
    Division I-AA (FCS): A new sub-level for programs that chose not to or could not meet the I-A criteria, which included a playoff system for a national championship, 38 teams in 1978

    this change was undertaken with the expectation that the ivy league would voluntarily drop down, but they did not and were forced out 3 years later after the rest of college football wrote draconian rules that were written specifically to force them out

     

    there is precedent for a forced ejection of 8 schools in one stroke

     

    despite the massive economic power (endowments) and political power (duh) behind the ivies, they did not litigate the ncaa and accepted their fate

    this year, 2025, the ivies joined the fcs playoff field for the first time, 47 years after the split

     

    espn went on the air 7 september 1979

    0u broke the tv cartel in 1984

     

    in 2025, cbs and nbc are irrelevant, disney and fox own the 2 big leagues, and the breakaway is going to happen, the question is how many teams, and the governance of spending

     

    the ncaa is powerless to stop it

     

    domer's de-indpendence is a foregone conclusion, and their existence in the College Premiership is in question....

    private schools are possibly at risk of not making the cut due to sovereign immunity needed to inoculate the rebels from litigation

    if i were a fan of one of these schools i would be concerned - as we saw during the last round of realignment the people at the top running universities are often..... deficient

    acc

        Boston College
        Duke
        Miami
        Syracuse
        Wake Forest
        SMU
        Stanford

    rig12 

        Baylor
        BYU
        TCU

    b1g 

        Northwestern
        USC

    sec

        Vanderbilt

    indy

        Notre Dame

    that's 14 private schools currently with a seat in the current round of musical chairs

    their best defense against permanent exile would be to form their own conference immediately, today

    they stand no chance at recourse if they are standalone entities when the long knives are unsheathed

    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.
