  1. It may not make them good but at least they’ll be relevant. As for Lebron, he’s content with playing out the string in LA and he’s done winning titles. If he was so inclined, he could have walked into a great situation in Cleveland next summer…
  2. I guess we have to assume Hanks wife is wearing purple.
  3. Tsai is worth over $8 bilion - KD can bully a lot of people but Tsai ain't one of them.
  4. Boom - this last bullet point. Speaks to the issue of the league over promising.
  5. Everybody spazzing over 24 women when the NFL only presented five of those cases to judge Robinson and none had ANY evidence of criminal wrongdoing. It’s crazy how many people think Watson is a rapist of multiple women, but that’s what happens these days with a media that over promises and under delivers. Insteadof branding Watson as a serial rapist, the media should have focused on the morality of his behavior, like they did with Tiger Woods. That angle would have at least been an honest critique rather than try to brand Watson as something he isn’t and for which there is no evidence.
  6. Stop making shit up. There was no evidence of force, threat of force, or coercion. And two grand juries found not enough evidence for anything criminal. Watsons a creep but no sexual predator. And all these women were conveniently repped by the smarmy lawyer friend of the McNairs. And the NFL would be beyond stupid to appeal - yeah Goodell go ahead and man-splain to a federal female judge what is and what is not sexual assault and why Watson (who is young and black) deserves a year while the old white guy owners like Irsay, Snyder, Kraft, and Jones (for the peeping Tom settled lawsuit) deserve no punishment for their misdeeds. Unbelievably great trade for the Browns, who now have a franchise QB locked up for 5 years along with a stacked roster.
  7. 4 games max and twitter and Texan fans (who had visions of top 5 picks dancing in their heads) melt down.
  8. When there's a metric shit-ton of money involved in grants and pharma profits, there's going to be plenty of motivation for thieves to get involved, even well-educated thieves. Another story from earlier this year about crooked Alzheimers swindlers researchers.
  9. This should have been the lead story on every newscast this weekend when one thinks about how many people and their families are suffering from this insidious disease. A 6-month investigation by Science provided strong support for Schrag’s suspicions and raised questions about Lesné’s research. A leading independent image analyst and several top Alzheimer’s researchers—including George Perry of the University of Texas, San Antonio, and John Forsayeth of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)—reviewed most of Schrag’s findings at Science’s request. They concurred with his overall conclusions, which cast doubt on hundreds of images, including more than 70 in Lesné’s papers. Some look like “shockingly blatant” examples of image tampering, says Donna Wilcock, an Alzheimer’s expert at the University of Kentucky. The authors “appeared to have composed figures by piecing together parts of photos from different experiments,” says Elisabeth Bik, a molecular biologist and well-known forensic image consultant. “The obtained experimental results might not have been the desired results, and that data might have been changed to … better fit a hypothesis.” tldr - The last 16 years of Alzheimers research and all the money spent on that research and developing drugs is based on data that is extremely likely to be fraudulent. So the state of the research is set back about 16 years.
  10. Tom Cruise was right. Just kidding...sort of. In all seriousness, you are absolutely correct that we are way overmedicated as a society and so many of us (not everybody, obviously) want the quick and easy solution that a pill provides when faced with the slightest bit of discomfort.
  11. Jalen Williams has also looked good so far in summer league. I think OKC and Detroit will be in the play-in tournament this season. Crazy bright future for both of those teams.
