Probably go with the one in bold.

after realizing premium cabin was filled with white men


Black women with offspring have been a Cancer and plague on society...For generations.

Can't tell you how many black guys have said and will say on social media that they were raised to hate white guys by their single black mother.

Everything bad in life, was the fault of the white devil. They're the forever holdouts to any kind of peaceful, rational assimilation to the this Country.
Where's the tipping point?

Cost/benefit? Like to see a definable breakdown on how winning financially affects schools across the board beyond high-fives on the Quad and t-shirt printing.

Thanks Ohio State.
Thanks Texas.

You have a handful of teams doubling in spending compared to every other big spender and now Lane enters and doubles what was doubled. Funny if money drives us back to only 3 or 4 teams can actually win it like a decade ago.

They don’t know and don’t care


They don't know but obviously care to be outraged at something that didn't happen.

Not caring about politics would be welcome, we wouldn't have to hear their faux uninformed "resistance" on a regular basis.

Apathy from the young in previous generations was so undervalued by society.

Conferences were more balanced


At one point in the 2007 season... These teams were ranked #2...

USC
LSU
Cal
South Florida
Boston College
Oregon
Kansas
West Virginia
Georgia

The Curse of #2 was insane and it was probably the swan song of parity in voting before biases and perception dominated the next decade.




The stuffed animal market in Canada just crashed forever.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is facing significant financial strain in early 2026, including lawsuits for unpaid debt, tax issues, and the sale of assets like his private jet and homes. Despite denying "broke" rumors, reports indicate he owes millions for luxury items, faces foreclosure on properties, and is seeking to settle debts.

So, Netflix got a fight on their platform probably at Foreclosure prices.

i mean this is true but the Soviet Union won 7 golds in 9 appearances


* (and Taiwan won every LLWS in the 70s because birth certificates were apparently issued 5 years after the players actual birth or something like that)...

Soviet National team was called the Red Army because they were in the Red Army, on paper, although Tretiak (the best Goalie in the World allegedly) says he never did a minute of Army training in his 15 years with the National team.

As for the Soviet golds, Canada boycotted International competition because of the Soviet professionals and said they wouldn't play in International competitions until they could use their best players.

quote:

Before the 1972 Olympics, Canada petitioned the IOC to use professional hockey players, claiming that the eastern European countries were using such athletes.

The IOC rejected Canada’s request, and the Canadian hockey team withdrew from the competition. Canada refused to send a hockey team to the 1976 Games as well.


Canada sent their amateur team to 1980 Lake Placid and stunk up the joint finishing in 6th place, as we beat their International nemesis with our amateurs.
quote:

But if it's just 5 years then 2003-2007.


The interest, chatter, argument, regionalism, tribalism, Network debates, fan vitriol was an all-time high, due to the seemingly ever-changing, nebulous method of securing one of those two coveted BCS spots....every game and style points, bias and perception mattered like we'll never see again.
quote:

Now we're pretending that Russia isn't historically


Well, you can go back in time and find your favorite USSR team from the 80s and retroactively crown them champions for those of us living in the present.
quote:

And you can't convince me otherwise.


Would not even try...been watching CFB since the early 80s.

2000-2010 IS the Golden Decade of CFB....Stars galore, controversy, great players, great games, great storylines, every Conference, every section of the Country was represented for the most part during that Decade.

The next Decade almost ruined CFB.
quote:

It’s a lot of fun in short doses as a golden goal situation, but it would not be as enjoyable to watch for 60 minutes


Yeah....

Couldn't imagine 3 periods of this, kinda exhausting to watch, let alone the players as you mentioned... And goals would become cheap and sloppy...but the frantic pace and open ice works well enough for an exciting fast way to finally end long games.
The US has led the Winter Olympics in medal count only once in its history....

1932 Games at Lake Placid...only because 25 Nations didn't send athletes that competed 4 years earlier. No Soviets, no Netherlands.

USA had 64 athletes compete, Norway had 19.

Every other Olympics it was Norway, Sweden or the USSR that has led the medal count.
quote:

“The US choking” narrative has definitely been exaggerated.


Or espoused by those who thought this was the Summer Olympics or under the impression we were historically Nordic kings.
quote:

He’s probably lower in my book. He only had to throw it near his WRs who would make great plays


This was what I was getting at....his career is almost unrivaled but people don't know how to evaluate him and many take the view, yeah but...he had stars around him.

Make no mistake, Leinart made that Ferrari hum and go, it wasn't highlight reel Bush.

During USC's 34 game win streak, the last game they lost to start the streak was @ Aaron Rodgers Cal in OT and Leinart had the worst game of his career. 21/39 , 277 yards, 2 Tds, 3 Ints. In short, he had to play well and great for USC to win week after week.
It seems every owner, League is coming out with this mantra to the fans: "We're in the Entertainment business, its about the experience"

Which is Code for F-U fans, things aren't on the up and up, players don't care about winning, its never been about that, you stupid fans...so don't complain about teams tanking or players not trying and come out for $25 Nachos and $15 beer and bring a date...Experience!

Mark Cuban has said it outright recently regarding tanking by teams. (its normal and the NBA isn't about winning but the fan experience)....

NFL has basically said the same recently and now MLB. Don't we all look stupid now? Oz has been revealed, WWE indeed.
quote:

18 Leinart


People don't know what to make of Leinart despite his gaudy numbers in College (2X National Champion, Heisman, 10,694 passing yards, 99 Tds, 65% Completion % , 160 career QB rating)...

Because of his Pro career and the fact he drove a Ferrari in College on the field.

But his College career beats most of the Qbs ranked ahead of him by a large margin.
quote:

Par for the course.


If it was par for the course for ESPN Top 5 would be:

Vince, Cam, DeShaun, Kyler and Lamar
Canada has been the villains of the Olympics... Unusually salty.

The response by the Curler being challenged on cheating was to lie and curse. Must be something going on up north that has made them irritable and unfriendly... Maybe their country falling apart by their own doing?

Well, in the real world that's been proven not true.

Women have segregated tournaments for a reason.

But everyone tip toes around the disparity in performance acumen and ability and cites societal issues.

Netflix's entertaining series "Queen's Gambit" was based on a fictional novel.
