  1. Ah, fair point - could well be. I'm a beer or three in sitting at a Tucson pub. Yeah, if Kadyrov's thugs got the mayor, not a lot of hope there. Still don't think the Quisling has a long life expectancy either.
  2. "Halyna" is a woman's name; in this case apparently a sitting city councilmember. Likely she will not win her seat again in a free Ukraine. Also likely, as you say, that she'll never get the chance. Pretty sure she's gone past the "shaved head collaborator" of Vichy France days.
  3. It's a bit over the top and clearly more than the forced photoshoot sort of thing. Plus not all Russian players have signed on or done similar. Ovechkin is enough of a national idol that it would cause severe blowback to remotely threaten him anyway. Just my opinion after discovering it, which sucks because I liked the guy and it was cool to finally watch him live this season.
  4. Ovechkin may be many things (including one of the greatest hockey players of all time), but he's not ignorant or apolitical. Google "PutinTeam" to see what he set up 3 years *after* the occupation of Crimea and the Donbas. (Throw Malkin in there too for good measure.) He is an out-and-out public supporter of Putin. It's his homeland and he certainly has that right, but to come out now and pull the dumb athlete "hurr durr I don't do politics" is some next level bullshit. I liked the guy and pulled for the Caps to win the Cup - but yeah, no.
  5. My avatar, the Prime Minister of Madagascar, accepts your request.
  6. Perhaps Coca-Cola, Visa, McDonald's, Budweiser (InBev), Adidas and Hyundai could do something about it (the other FIFA sponsors are all Chinese and Qatar Airways). Lol no, sorry, what was I thinking? 😂
  7. Lol, shit! Good catch. But it looks really pretty so why not stay for 2 years? Oh yeah, 700 nights of pricey hotel rooms. Furk. 🤣
  8. I thought the USA Network coverage was decent (as was CNBC when it was on there). NBC just regurgitated what I had already seen hours before on one of the other channels, for the most part. I was in Korea for the Pyeongchang games and yes, most of what was on Korean TV was Korea-centric. Not sure why it wouldn't have been. The Winter Olympics are a lot of fun if you ever get the chance to attend. Going to random sports is great and most of them are inexpensive. Hoping to be in Cortina in 2024 - that will feel more like an old-school Games despite a ton of the events actually being a long way away in Milan. I had no wish to go to Beijing even pre-Covid. (And Nicole, do give curling a try. It's fun although it's hard as hell to "run" down the ice sheet trying to sweep!)
  9. Zey are not all smiles und zonshine.
  10. Go Ti-Cats! Rumor is that their HC, Steinauer, will be the next DC at UW. Having the additional player* out there next season should help. *was going to say 12th player, but didn't want to talk to any A&M lawyers tonight.
  11. I think we can all agree that Masi is simply terrible at his job.
  12. Well, THIS didn't age well! What a season!
  13. Lol. Wake up at 4:55am for a race that's over in 2 minutes.
  14. S/he also has no understanding that you don't "win" the Congressional Medal of Honor. A&M isn't even the home of the most recipients among public universities.
  15. Yeah, I recorded it - 5am comes damn early on a Sunday - but I'm still going to try and catch it live. I'm not a fan of either of these two douchebags; I'd just like to see Merc's long reign come to an end. Same reason I was a Lewis fan early in his career. Otherwise it's like trying to choose between DeChambeau and Koepka. Ugh. I'm an actual fan of several of the other drivers - perhaps next season El Plan will come to fruition! At any rate, it's been a great season and thanks to a whole lot of you - Lewis and Max fanbois alike - who give me a better insight into the sport.
  16. I imagine Oregon's Uncle Phil has already reached out. That whole setup is tailor-made for an amoral douchebag who just happens to be a great CFB coach. Uncle Phil is cut from the same cloth and will spend what it takes to win the championship before he pushes off (he's in his mid-80s). With Riley going to USC, he's going to want to make a splash. (but UO still sucks)
  17. Since everyone likes to talk about "cultural fit..." ...this is not it. Not because of the LDS thing, but because everything Sitake appears to stand for in his program is basically the opposite of the Oregon Way. They could do a helluva lot worse, though. Sitake is solid.
  18. Damn, Nicole. I'm terribly sorry to hear that. I enjoyed your tales of watching the games with him last weekend. Those are some fine memories to have. I hope for strength and peace for you both, and for your family, and that the coming day's news is better.
  19. This is a joke, either way.
  20. I am no Lewis fan whatsoever... that said, I can't see how Max will keep that place. And yeah, this course sucks.
  21. This man speaks truth.
  22. He knows he's going to have to deal with Kalen DeBoer. 😉
  23. Same song, played over and over and over again? Riley will feel right at home at USC.
  24. I think he's fine... or I hope so, anyway. There was enough talk in certain places re Campbell that my guess is an offer was made but turned down. The faithful would have been excited about that. It's more a "wait and see" with DeBoer - mainly to see if he can build a decent defensive staff (defense has always been the hallmark of UW when we're successful).
