  1. Kerr is right about Manu instantly connecting with the fans because of language. I remember being at a game in the early days of Manu and his English wasn't very good. He was talking into the mic and switched to Spanish and the crowd went fucking nuts. The dude was an instant fan favorite and then you add in his greatness and shit goes up to 11.

    I have resynced everything and then restricted it to one server for consistency to stay the same it should be unborked.

    Just refreshed the page and everything is back to normal.

  3. Hazing seems to be some really base instinct of man.  It's far more common than I think we know or really are willing to admit. 
    Just about any time a group of young men (can't speak for women) is put together, some form of hazing takes place.
    And, like lots of stuff teens and adolescents do, it's a miracle that it isn't fatal many hundreds of times more often than it is.
    It's a tribal instinct. You can't just become a trusted member of a group without effort, some sort of suffering is required to demonstrate trustworthiness. Plus the intial subservience demonstrates a new member is willing to place the group ahead of the individual.

    This. The Cowboys could put a AAA team in San Antonio and it would be instantly profitable. NFL scraps TNF and instead plays the AAA games on Thursday nights. Local stations carry them with the "game of the week" getting the national TV slot typically allocated to TNF now. Call up/down as needed, basically gives you a 106-man roster pool. 

    I believe this is the goal and how the AAF has been pitching it to the NFL. a true minor league system with NFL team affiliation would probably pull in more fans. It would also need to run concurrently with the NFL season before the NFLPA would go along with it. I like the idea of Thursday night games. Shit, replace the current crop of players in the AAF with the NFL practice squads. Thursdays would be like JV game day and minor league fans would be more likely to see players that get called up to the NFL.

     

     

  5. The no fossil fuel money pledge issue seems to favor certain candidates over others. It's reasonable that a candidate from Texas will rack up individual contributions over $200 from people in the O/G industry versus someone like AOC based out of Bronx. Hell, you could randomly pick a group of people from the greater Houston area and one them will be involved in O/G.

    You know, with Mayfield, "character" was a reference to the fact that he's a piece of shit, which isn't really relevant to football.

    With Murray, he is also a piece of shit, but that's not the part of his character that matters. The "there's no 'we' in team" part, coupled with the, "Oh, noes, I might get hit, I'd better eat some turf" part dictates that he's not likely to have even Mayfieldesque success, and the truth is, Mayfield's success is limited, qualified, and of uncertain sustainability.

    Murray is not likely to succeed simply because he is, you know... a pussy.

    Exactly.

    Mayfield is a douche but not a pussy. Murray is a pussy in need of a douche.

    Like a Republican? 

    No not at all. White Republicans don't present themselves as "Beto, Javi, Nando, or Pepe" in public when running for office. 

  8. No San Antonio? What a puto.

    The thing about Robert Francis is he doesn't seem to really pursue the Hispanic vote but prefers to bask in the adoration of white upper middle class America.

    Beto O'Rourke is basically the Torchys Taco of Texas politics.

    Do we have any info on whether or not Biden is going to take corporate/PAC money? 

    He could probably get away with it if he does. He is a top contender on name recognition alone, which leads me to believe a lot of registered Democrats are not paying much attention to the details at the moment. If a lot of corporate money pours in for Biden, he will be able to afford to dump out a lot of campaign ads into the ether by the time it becomes an issue.
