  1. But how does it work going forward? As I understand the original model, players would be paid to essentially do marketing and/or make public appearances (sign autographs, etc.) for non-profits. So players would be paid for showing up and doing the work, charity benefitted via promotions from athletes, and Texas One Fund donations supported the player contracts for these services. So now that contracts are supposed to be "true" 3rd party/corporate NIL - what do the individual donations support? Is it effectively subsidizing a for profit NIL contract? Or are donations effectively paying salaries for marketing agent's who's job it is to go find NIL deals?
  2. Yep. Not really a winning situation here.
  3. Streamflows in the 2K-5K range tend to move the lake by inches. It takes streamflows in the 20K+ range like we saw on Saturday, to move it by multiple feet, especially the closer we get to 680. It has substantially tapered off since its peak 2 days ago despite some heavy rains yesterday. But, there's still quite a bit of rain out there. It would be great to see LT hit 660 or even greater, as a result of all of this. It's gone up 1/10th just in the time we've been discussing it this morning.
  4. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance is on the ground, coordinating with local congregations: https://pcusa.org/disaster-assistance/active-responses/national-disaster/texas-hill-country-flooding Maybe…but…it may also have been a smart move keeping local resources local, when the forecast indicated we may need them around here (and indeed we did - multiple rescues and people lost locally). I’d wait to hear more about this story to figure out what really happened.
  5. yeah, kinda feels like a scorned ex-girlfriend running around going, "if you really want to know about him, I'm right here!"
  6. Not going to lie, Kid Rock is in my top 10 rodeo shows of all time.
  7. It was a great finale, but I shared Syd's "what the fuck" reaction over Carmy walking away from the restaurant. I understand the point that being a chef and chasing the grind of operating Michelin-rated restaurants was Carmy's way of running from everything, and it's going to make for an interesting Season 5 storyline of Carmy looking to do something other than cook. But The Bear is quitting The Bear? S4 didn't have the same magic as S1 and S2, but a lot more cohesion and story development than S3. And some folks might think all the feel-good reconciliation in S4, which is a sharp turn from all of the conflict and "fuck-you" moments in prior seasons, was too schmaltzy or contrived. But I really liked it.
  8. This wild post came out two hours ago from the Austin Firefighters Association. They are apparently furious and claiming that the Austin Fire Chief would not deploy his water rescue teams due to budget concerns. Austin Firefighters Association rdpSetoons1116uu0h6u3234ig70u1f5u52h6hhc9m0hl0h73a6uc222u473 · It brings the Austin Firefighters no pleasure to report to the community that the Austin Fire Chief DENIED the deployment of Austin firefighters to Kerrville until very late into the event (so today!), with the exception of only 3 AFD rescue swimmers who helped staff helo teams (which still were NOT deployed until the afternoon of the 4th). The Austin Firefighter Special Operations teams are specially trained for Hill Country swift water rescue and are some of the best, if not the best, swift water boat teams in the State of Texas. It is absolutely outrageous that the Austin Fire Chief, Joel G. Baker, would not allow highly trained firefighters from Austin to respond to Kerrville. Because of this egregious dereliction of duty, LIVES WERE VERY LIKELY LOST BECAUSE OF CHIEF BAKER’S DECISION! Deployment orders came down from the State of Texas on July 2. We would've been pre-deployed before the waters even began to rise! It is unforgivable that a fire chief would NOT allow his firefighters to answer the call to save lives. Why would Fire Chief Joel G. Baker do this, you may ask? It was a misguided attempt to save money. I say “misguided” because the fire department is fully reimbursed by the state to deploy. I explained the reimbursement process to Chief Baker last week, and he failed to understand this very simple concept. We are disgusted with our fire chief. He needs to be held accountable and fired for his disgraceful dereliction of duty. The Austin Firefighters are starting a vote of no confidence on Tuesday on the fire chief. As disgusted as we are at our Austin Fire Department leadership, the Austin Firefighters Association made a decision to not air our dirty laundry while victims and bodies were still being recovered. But it's now July 7, and it's time that we hold accountable our disgraced fire chief, AND anybody else in his leadership circle who are responsible for this horrendous act. The Austin Firefighters commit to being transparent to the community about this process to remove our fire chief and hold all of those accountable who were part of this atrocity. The firefighters hope we have your support, because it's going to get ugly. I can't possibly express to you how outraged and sickened the firefighters are that we were not allowed to do the job—the job that we have trained so hard and long to do—during the historic floods that just occurred in Kerrville. We could've made a difference, and we were forced to stand down and lives were lost. The community deserves a fire chief who cares about the community as much as our firefighters, and that is simply not the case. Joel G. Baker must go!

  9. They could pay me $500, and the final bill would be too rich for my blood. My kids went to some smaller camps close by and had some fun times. My older son finally got to go to Longhorn . . . as a counselor. Better to make them pay you . . . and they don't pay a lot.
  10. Jake can’t go to the DL yet. First he has to be misdiagnosed by the Astros medical staff and they can put him on the DL a few days later when he sees an actual medical doctor who doesn’t prescribe leeches.
  11. if 20 sets of white parents call a news conference and angrily demand answers to questions like this the magats are going to scramble like roaches when the lights are turned on - their only recourse will be to eat themselves - they will have no other "other" to attack or blame for the tragedy
  12. Have you tried swimming to the bottom of the ocean so we don't have to read the smeared shit that you call posts?
  13. Llano and Pedernales are flowing quite nicely right now. I think that has to have a quality impact on Travis. I could be wrong. The elevation increase is taking longer. Either way, we haven't seen numbers like this since April 2022!
  14. yeah I hit copy image from gmail that I took myself and e-mailed but turns out gmail is lame looked fine on my end go look at it now is that you in the jester hat?
  15. Here is one from Ray Nagin that seems racist. He was re-elected after this. In response to a question at a town hall meeting in October 2005, Nagin said: "I can see in your eyes, you want to know, '[h]ow do I take advantage of this incredible opportunity? How do I make sure New Orleans is not overrun with Mexican workers?'"[26] Some Hispanic groups, including the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, criticized Nagin's statement,[27] although those attending the town hall meeting reportedly applauded—many believing jobs should first go to locals displaced by the hurricane.
  16. he's not a minor leaguer so no he's not going on the 7-day
  17. I'll be Florida Defense should be better this year and DJ is going to be even better
  18. Can we get back to news updates? I posted a request for help on the pinned thread as well. Please take a look when you can. So you know a lot of churches. Help me help them?
  19. I know it’s annoying. I know that message I posted is the same thing, over and over. Yet….its also true. Shit, the metaphor works well in this thread. Sorry not sorry I keep shouting about the wall of water headed our way. Maybe if we’d fucking do something about it, and not double down on our current path, I wouldn’t have to say anything else. But it genuinely pisses me off when everyone tries to sell the “this is Texas, we love and help each other!” lie when those same people celebrate tossing a huge percentage of this state’s population, the people who build your homes, prepare your food, to the ground in cuffs, shove them in camps, all that shit. I’d love it if we meant what we said and practiced what we preached. And I’m sorry if it upsets you to be reminded that we don’t. But I’ll never be silent in the face of this shit. It would be evil for me to do so. Care for every human in this state as much as you care for each of those little girls, that’s all I ask. Yet, it’s clearly too much to ask.
  20. and if this means jake is going on the 7 day IR ...
  21. I know you were, and I'm not going to get in the middle of that. I was merely pointing out that the brand spanking new account you were quoting is GRhorn, a guy who has been banned by mods or crowdsourced more times than I can count, likely approaching 50 times now.
  22. Re-watching house of cards. Season 1 was great and nearing the end of season 2 starts to go off the rails. I am not sure I will make it to season 3. Still a great show over the years.
  23. But, were those closest to the river, like the Mystic cabin swept away, higher than the 1987 flood? We may not yet know the details, but there is zero question that some lives were lost due to negligence.
  24. it's going to take some time (2 weeks!) to find out if the parents of these girls are going to sacrifice them to the orange god the republican newspeak regime owns these deaths - as pointed out they've been in power in texas for 31 years - they can't blame biden or kamala or obama for kerrville's idiotic lack of storm sirens - and the serendipity (!) of this tragedy happening on July 4th should not be lost on the religious right - it could have been simply a local texas thing but no - wheels and gnome had to suck orange cock on national presser for no reason whatsoever - so they made this tragedy the ultimate test of magat loyalty - will the parents of these girls sacrifice them to the orange god? - or will they bring the wrath of the god of abraham?
  25. It's a great question. Utah is either dumping salary to facilitate more trades for picks or going after a free agent. Between this, the Sexton trade and the Clarkson buyout, I would have to say it's the former but I'm not sure exactly why. I get that they are clearing the decks for their young players to get more playing time, but they already have so many young players and picks that acquiring more doesn't seem to portend that much more marginal of an improvement. I don't know how much more they can bottom out (worst record in the league last year) or why or what they are going to do with even more picks. What was the whole point in extending Markannan? The Jazz turned Sexton, Clarkson and Collins into Jusuf Nurkic, Kyle Anderson, Kevin Love and a second round pick. Austin Ainge era off to a booming start.
