  1. Bernie is worth I believe around $3B and that is after paying the crown 650M+ for tax evasion. Granted he has a 5-year old to save for college, but I think Bernie could pull together enough between he, Flavio, and a few others.
  2. Amateurs who obviously haven't read any medical journals touting the benefits of the new technologies called blood letting and leeches.
  3. If you really want to talk about the good ole' days of cheating in college football we need to go back to when there was a conference signing date (where it was common for players to sign with multiple schools from different conferences) and then a week or so later a national signing date. I am sure there were no discussion between those dates say, when Billy Simms signed with OU in the Big 8 and Baylor in the SWC and then on the national date with Simms signed with OU.
  4. Agreed, would have been interesting to watch that unfold if Lando had been in Oscar's car and Oscar in Lando's I can see Oscar stacking up 6-7 high quality laps needed to cut a lead and still have something left in the tires, Lando however, I don't think of him if I was asked who could deliver that type of drive to pull back and win a race.
  5. Not sure if Crofty is truly bad at math or simply parroting what the people in his ear tell him to say to try to create tension at the end of the races. There have been multiple instances when he will talk about a driver in second who is "shaving off" a specific amount of time per lap and will it be close and the math just doesn't work out. Plus you have the fact that when he does his "with it be tight at the end" schtick it rarely factors in future deterioration at the end of the race by the second place driver frying their tires trying to catch up and/or the leader has much more to give but is simply saving some as was the case with Oscar yesterday.
  6. There was no way the NCAA was ever going to apply the Death Penalty to a large school such as OU or even ATM. Hell, OU basically stared down the NCAA with the Big Red Automotive scandal and once schools started hiring that law firm out of either KC or Chicago the NCAA was basically toothless if you wanted to fight them. SMU made it easy for them being complete dumbarses by continuing to pay players and alums such as the fucking Governor not backing down. I would suggest to the OP the book "A Payroll to Meet: A Story of Greed, Corruption, and Football at SMU" which was the source material for the 30 for 30 special. If I recall correctly, Houston was penalized, ATM, SMU, TCU, and Baylor had some issues with FIxx so there was plenty of shit going on in the conference.
  7. Video evidence though in the world or AI, CGI, FBI, and every other I combination it could be made up I guess, but diabetes is a mother fucker and when you start staking other health issues on it......
  8. Wish him the best, do question the wardrobe but each to their own. There are very real questions about his recovery, how they restructured "things' with the bladder removal, the propensity for infections with bladder issues, and how all of this is compounded by his diabetes which has already cost him some body parts. He can do what he wants, he does have the money to get quality care, but at what points does he and CU have a discussion about his future and the future of the program.
  9. As frustrating as these last 3 weeks or so have been, imagine being a Mariner fan. The Astros go 5-11 and the M's can only close to 4 games to date. Time to empty the fucking training room, tell Alvarez to either decide to play or have the surgery, and get Spencer and Christian back in the rotation.
  10. This is the first time I can recall seeing Diane and she actually having lines in a scene. If I remember correctly, Rick was working on portal travel and was stuck, she encouraged him, and there was a comment about someone going for ice cream when Rick Prime dropped the bomb which killed Diane. I can't recall an explanation ever given as to why Rick Prime first killed C-137's Diane and then used the Omega device to erase Diane from all dimensions. One theory I heard once was Rick Prime was the first to discover portal travel, choose to explore the dimensions versus staying with Diane and Beth, Diane left him with Beth and the pain was so profound that he wanted to erase any memory of Diane. Overall, liked the first 20+ minutes of this one, thought it fell apart a bit at the end of the chase scene, and liked the ending. Reconfirmed Rick has always been a shit father, Diane is the parent who raised Beth, and when Diane was killed C-137 was unable to put aside his pain and loss for the good of their daughter. That story line is pretty damn real for far too many families.
  11. When Dam was a freshman at TCU playing on the nose he was solid, but struggled playing the 4-5 in the 3=man front. Second year, he looked disinterested and wanted to play outside, but really didn't do much on the edge when he got his chances. Then he left to get paid at OU and I laughed when he wasn't the answer to their problems in the interior defensive line. Don't dislike the kid, he got offered stupid money and he took it. Proof yet again adults fuck things up.
  12. I think the only problem with it is far too many will connect it to Rivera. Funny, watched Rollie Fingers and Spark Lyle come in to the game and all you got was, now pitching for Oakland or now pitching for Texas. Al Hrabosky is the first reliever I could remember with the theatrics.
  13. Trevor Hoffman's wasn't bad and truthfully, I liked Pressly's.
  14. Driving around today and listening to national media spew tears for the Yankees about the loss of Judge and how difficult this will be for them while he is out. Really? How about rolling out a lineup with maybe 4 major leaguers and a staff with 2 guys who belong starting in the league and yet somehow have 60 wins. Fuck the national media, but more importantly fuck whomever is responsible for slowing playing some of these guys back. Time to get Spencer and Javier back because they damn sure can't be worse .
  15. Agreed, fuck what anyone is saying outside the program, enjoy the process, and enjoy the season.
  16. Seriously, when does he make the jump to coach pitch, and then a league that allows base runners to take leads? I don't know what is wrong with him, don't know how he is feeling, but this sure feels like this isn't the Astros medical staff. Does anyone recall if there was this much issue about the knee before the microfracture surgery?
  17. Hell, some of these guys aren't every day players in AAA. Where the fuck is Pena? Dezenzo? Melton? About to give up on Alvarez, how the fucking surgery or fucking grab a bat and play because at the rate he heals it is questionable he will be ready for next year.
  18. No need to read because unfortunately being added to the list National Register of Historic Places in 2014, a State Antiquities Landmark designation in 2017, and a State Historical Marker in 2018 has pretty much tied the County's hands from doing what needs to be done which is implode the structure and make use of the space, reduce the risk of having that unmaintaned structure, and end all the stupid ideas.
  19. I normally watch Graham on BBC America, but think you can watch on Netflix. Not back on yet in England as he is off for summer break. The show is one day a week and has varied at times as it is a taped broadcast. The musical guests at times are Americans who get more attention over there than the programmed music over here and there are some episodes where you are getting 4 British guests. Maybe other posters have better information as I actually only claim to have watched Graham and haven't really ever seen it. Here is link to some of the episodes from last series: https://www.bbcamerica.com/shows/the-graham-norton-show--1010598
  20. Cody needs to pace himself with the doom and gloom alerts for the run game and offensive line. Texans just started practice, the line really can't work on anything until they have gotten to camp so chill just a bit or you will end up being ignored like Travis Herzog each time it clouds up in Houston and you start with your weather alerts.
  21. Not an issue for a 29 year old running back playing a 17-game schedule.
  22. Nope, you can't tell me how many teams I can add to my conference. It is my right to completely fuck up my conference and placate the networks.
  23. Being a dog and all, the phrase "resting comfortable" for the three labs we have owned is they were put down due to cancer. Besides, just get the dog a script for some weed or maybe there is still some in the locker room left behind from Jimbo's recruits.
  24. Rumor is Jon Singleton is in the lineup for the Astros tonight, batting 6th at DH.
