  1. And what position will he play? Because he can’t run between the tackles and he cant run left. And he won’t be able to pass protect in the pros.
  2. Can he play in the NFL? I saw a player who couldn’t be trusted as a ball carrier. They stopped handing the ball off to him, especially leftZ He’s smallish and couldnt pass protect real well. He could catch out of the backfield. That’s not enough.
  3. I have Florida near the bottom of k-12 and near the top of higher ed https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/public-school-rankings-by-state
  4. Seems like hope is the plan. Texans have had a long history of shitastic offensive lines and at least two eras where they undervalued this position group. One year, probably 10-15 years ago, my homer friend who was an insider downplayed the need for a solid line in their zone blocking scheme (or something like that). That season did not go well. And this was after Carr was historically obliterated. Might have been the Schabb/Rosenfels era.
  5. Yeah, im not owning all SOS decisions, but gentrification and affordability are universal issues now in all cities worth a damn. If you can point out a major city that is doing it right, I’ll hang up and listen. The globalization of the housing market and expansion of toxic tourism is really working hand-in-hand. Plus, the obsession with passive wealth. People want easy wins. They dont want to lease their property to families or young people and have to do stuff. And, frankly, I don’t blame them. It’s hard. SOS and NIMBYs are also blamed for our lack of planning and infrastructure. I largely blame that on underrepresentation and underinvestment at the state and federal levels. The days of LBJ and Jake Pickle advocating for Austin and Texas are long gone. The opposite is true. They’ve been starving the “beast” for 40 years. Less spending per person on everything except border security and defense.
  6. This is not a solution, its a necessary safety net. It’s a stop gap. The assholes come here for the tourists, temperate weather, drugs, and lax policing. You want to see metrics and results from social services, when they root causes cannot be addressed very easily. Welcome to fantasyland. Between this topic and AISD’s funding crisis, you’re seeing Austin scramble to make the best bad decisions with the cards they’ve been dealt.
  7. Dems are the only party that advocates for campaign finance reform, watchdogs, nonpartisan redistricting commissions, and judges who support voting rights. The list goes on and on. And yes, dems can also be corrupt. And when they are action is taken. But here’s what will blow your mind. People like you, who lump the two parties together, are the reason no action is taken because it conflates who is behind things like the Citizens United decision. Repeat after me: Democrats want to get money out of politics. Voters don’t care because they can’t tell the difference.
  8. It’s not meeting its own standard from S1. I didnt start watching this show to watch a Walking Dead reboot.
  9. $20k was about the average salary back then before free agency and collective bargaining was a thing. So, if a player bitched about only getting $20k a year for playing a game, the fans would not have much sympathy as that was more than double the median income.
  10. The NBA will do fine with temporarily losing a team in DFW. What you have is an owner with one foot out the door. Each owner needs to be a strong advocate for their team. I don’t see that being the case here. Do you take the opposite position that, come hell or high water, the Adlesons will keep the team in DFW? Or, that the NBA will make the unprecedented move of forcing a team to stay in a market? Use your words.
  11. For Steelers, thats addition by subtraction. For Cowboys, thats someone who will help them dominate dogshit opponents but then compound their issue of lazy route running.
  12. Use your words. The Adelsons couldnt alienate the fanbase anymore if they tied Dirk to a bed at halfcourt and hit him in the gut with a pillow case full of oranges. Nothing makes sense and the NBA will not prevent an owner from moving the Mavs out of DFW.
  13. Elon followed the Eskimo Hut (no relation) business model. But he’s totally cool with the results: carving up liberal democracies, ending a global community organizing site, scattering legitimate journalists, and stifling voices from around the world.
  14. The NBA is a global brand. DFW aint shit. The Mavs aint shit. The Rockets, Thunder and Spurs would dance on their grave. Then NBA just creates a new expansion team later. All transactional and disposable.
  15. Houston ISD didnt have any board elections
  16. So you agree Earl and Nobis were literally figurative men amongst boys
  17. When I was a child…ah, fuck y’all
  18. I could give a shit about source material.
