Is this new league really any good? Fans show up for games?
Really?
I havent followed it just like xfl days cept for the he hate me bro.Its pretty good football. The league is made up of players on the cusp of making a practice NFL squad so there isn't any great talent on display but it's still good football. The games in San Antonio get close to 30k in attendance and it doesn't take much to make that place loud.
Hopefully the league lasts. It would be nice if the NFL would cough up some pocket change and just buy the league.

It’s only March and Sam has the tweet of the year
This doesn't need to be stated but I'm going to say it anyways. Sam was born with burnt orange pumping through his veins.
Fuck aggy, Hook 'Em!

Definitely would have not set high odds on - from MTV's first batch of VJs - Kennedy being the conservative one.
Kennedy is a libertarian not a conservative. I know we all seem the same to you commies.

I remember several years ago when Tate first popped up on the radar at ToS someone posted pics of her but it turned out that she had just turned 16. That died out really fast.
Koopa must have been keeping a countdown running over the past several years.

I usually get Longhorn articles from Burnt Orange Nation or tech articles popping up on my feed. That feed is a mirroring all the shit you spend time focusing on while on the internets. Google knows you keep researching anti-Bernie information.

Beto goes hard to the paint on Trump in this clip
That was a great criticism against Trump and Trumpism. Donald is so damn bad that Beto doesn't even need to go negative but just point out the obvious malice coming from this administration.

Just checking in on the Beto talk.

What a petulant little bitch.
This kind of stuff is why I try and avoid information on Trump throughout the week.
99% of the time I have a visceral reaction.

Booker gettin' froggy
It seems to me that his criticism is more directed at Kamala. Her response to the question sounded like an attempt to appear cool while Bernie was pretty nonchalant about his answer. Plus Kamala was a DA/AG that oversaw the enforcement of marijuana laws in her career. She shouldn't joke about that shit.

We need to be building medical schools. If everybody can actually get the healthcare that they need, we will have a doc shortage.
Maybe make PA's the first line of defense?
Maybe look into some of the barriers to entry that are currently in place for doctors and nurses. My mom's housekeeper was a nurse in Mexico and her husband was a doctor over there but worked as a landscaper here in the U.S. Seemed like a waste of talent not to use their training here in the U.S.

Would y'all pony up the $$ for a select team in this situation?
Most definitely! It is necessary. At this age it isn't select baseball anymore, it's summer baseball and works a lot differently than the standard youth baseball tournaments. 17/18 U is just Show Case ball but even though 16U doesn't do real show cases it works the same way. No Saturday pool play with elimination games on Sunday. These are usually spread out over 3 to 4 days. There is a lot of rotating players so different guys can demonstrate their stuff or work on improving certain aspects of their game. Summer baseball is absolutely necessary for development.
Most programs hold tryouts in December for Summer slots.
Also, Fall Baseball is a must too but that is less intense. A decent wood bat league in the fall will do fine. A lot of high schools have fall teams which are really cheap and usually made up of the previous years freshman team and a volunteer coach. Not the best but better than nothing.
As far as a 15U team in the Spring? It's not a must have but Summer is a must. For the most part 15U baseball isn't very good and there are not very many teams out there. Hire an instructor for the Spring.

Yep. Just wait til he moves to BBCOR for High School. That's a real wake up call.
Truth. My eldest son had an Easton XL1 -5 Power Brigade for 14U when the bats first came out. He passed it on to my other son that used it for 13U/14U a couple of years later. By the time the second son got the bat, it was broken in and had a big pop to it which made the thing a rocket launcher.
In 8th grade he also played Middle School baseball for school which follows UIL rules so BBCOR only. With the drop 5 he was hitting home runs on high school fields and with the BBCOR he was hitting doubles. Huge difference in performance. He ended switching to BBCOR for both 14U and school baseball because it was time to lose the training wheels. He was 16 by the time he hit a "real" homerun with a BBCOR.

I would think that most Americans, especially in the states that are going to be beaten to death with the upcoming job losses, wouldn't see it as communism, since they'd be in it.
The only thing anywhere near communism is the rich's entanglement with government.
Troof. UBI isn't close to being Communism or Socialism. Hell, Trumpism is a much bigger aggression against the free market than UBI.
UBI/BIG is actually gaining traction in libertarian circles. A couple of years ago I listened to a podcast where an economist who was also a Hayakian was advocating the UBI in the form of a Negative Income Tax. Manikew has started writing about UBI over the past several years and he's a lifelong Republican economic adviser. Its definitely something that transcends the socialist/capitalist paradigm.
Hopefully Yang will get more people talking about it. A lot of Yang's ideas are Next-Gen and we need someone to move our collective mindset forward. If his candidacy doesn't workout, I would like to see him team up with Beto .

That remains to be seen. If they nominate Beto (or Harris or Booker) instead of one of the many D candidates with real experience, vision and/or ideas (Bernie, Warren, Buttigieg, Gabbard, Yang), then maybe.
How does Buttigieg end up the list of candidates with real experience? He is the mayor of a midwest town the size of Waco. South Bend make Corpus Christi seem like a metropolis. Shit, Castro was the mayor of a top 10 city and served in Obama's cabinet but gets less credit than mayor Pete.

Today was opening day in our league. My daughter 8 is playing machine pitch. We decided to skip softball for the season. She hit 3 doubles and an infield home run. Caught a flyball and threw out several runners when she was playing SS. Great day of baseball.
