  1. Back in 2020 I did some research (I donated pretty heavily, at least for me, to Kulkarni) and it looked like a reasonable bet given district demographics. Kulkarni ran well behind Biden in Fort Bend so the presumption is he just didn’t connect as a candidate.
  2. I don’t care what it costs, I hope the next President bulldozes the entire fucking thing.
  3. I was pretty bullish on Sri Kulkarni‘s chances in 2020 and was disappointed he didn’t fare better. Maybe they don’t vote?
  4. Gerry thinks (thought?) Cruz was about as good a center as a high school prep we could hope to recruit. Nasty and sufficient measurables that he should be the best center we’ve seen during Flood’s tenure.
  5. Hopefully he’s a non-roster invite and not someone for whom they are counting on. The better pitchers in the KBO appear to be clearly superior in performance.
  6. Considering they are indigenous to the Americas and the Swiss live on chocolate and gluhwein it’s not shocking they would overcharge for a bird. You should see what they want for an avocado.
  7. This-you can think he’s an asshole but he’s never purported to be an inside source. In fact, his whole thing is an outside agitator. Dishonest about what @Thatguy, that he doesn’t repeat Sarkisian’s viewpoint? Bobby has 236k subs because of he’s got Gerry and he’s pushing tons of content out for free. If McDonalds gave free hamburgers out next Friday, and sold 236k of them, would that make them better than a free burger from Casino El Camino?
  8. No, I agree with you, but Hakeem forever made me partial to assisted points from the paint as the ideal aesthetic version of basketball. That said, I doubt Toronto is feeling like they got a raw deal with Barnes or Cleveland with Mobley. There’s like 10 great players in that draft and then there’s basketball energy vampire Jalen Green.
  9. Scottie Barnes is a stud and his 2025 looks a lot like Amen with a 3 point shot. That was a really good draft, in hindsight.
  10. There is probably a little fraud going on (I.e., the originating bank would get a hand slap for it) in that a member of Congress declares two homes purchased close to one another (or refinances those loans) as both primary residences, but it’s largely because the rules governing occupancy aren’t set up for a borrower who really does have two primary residences. Given the (lack of) money at stake, and the infrequency of abuse (even that word exaggerates the ethical conflict), none of this should invite a policy or regulatory solution.
  11. A California realtor running for Congress wants credit for referring a mortgage fraud inquiry to Fannie Mae. Also, the DOJ appears to think the case is weak sauce. And Bill Pulte sucks.
  12. I’d think Durant taking a couple more threes a game would be just as impactful.
  13. Oh come on, I wouldn’t put the value at $0, my point is that presuming a prospect rated at “50” on a bunch of prospect lists has value worth $20m or whatever and therefore should be seen as a match for a 1.5 WAR MLB player isn’t always a good way to evaluate player acquisition merits.
  14. You’re omitting the $20m St. Louis is sending the Sox. That’s a huge part. You know what else sells merchandise? A World Series championship.
  15. I think we’ve discussed lots of ways this whole thing may mature, but probably a relatively predictable one will be for money to accrue mostly to players that look to play early rather than based on their ceiling (the former will be a product of talent, physical maturity, but also depth chart). Obviously position will play a big role (you’ve got to pay for QB’s even if they are riding pine, probably less so for two reserve WR).
