re: US forces participating in air cover over Israel

I just don't want us involved on the offensive or getting troops on the ground
It's probably just UAV's. I haven't been folowing closely but I did see where there was a tweet from a quote where Trump made a reference to "US equipment".

re: Skip and Miami
Posted by LSU82BILL on 6/13/25 at 1:25 pm
At Miami, Skip basically ran the program on the field, was the pitching coach and the recruiting coordinator. Fraser was more of a figurehead as the head coach and he spent much of his time fundraising. When Skip got to LSU he did the same things he did at Miami but also had to wear the hat of fund raiser and promotion coordinator. I can't tell you what he was paid at either school, but I can tell you that Paul Mainieri's father, Demie was offered the LSU job by Carl Maddox in 1978 and he turned it down because the salary was less than he made as head coach and AD at Miami-Dade Community College. Demie is also the one that recommended Jack Lamabe to Maddox.

The OP provides all the context you need but you chose to ignore it or didn’t care to comprehend what you read
JJ was asked about transfers leaving and what may have been some of the reasons. He was asked specifically about “if a kid enters the portal and takes a look around, he can come back to your team… right”
JJ responded with “That’s a very unique circumstance, so my line with that is we’re not going to negotiate with terrorists, so to speak. There has been one exception to that in my time here and the player ended up moving along anyways. It’s one of those things. You cannot play for me and not be all bought into what’s happening here. And if you’re doing that its like you have one foot out….. It’s like the Navy Seals. If somebody thinks about quitting the Navy Seals, they’re eventually going to quit. That’s just kind of how I look at it”
Edited to throw in this nugget at the end of his press conference. Talking about one and done type player. “That’s just how it goes. The team we’re playing has like 7 or 8 transfers in the lineup. Big fast people beat little fast people. Old and strong is better than young and weak”
There's the OP with no link to an interview. Show me where he talks about about dudes entering the portal to try to leverage their current team for money or assurances. He simply posts about kids "taking a look around". Are they doing more than that? I'm sure. But the OP quotes JJ talking about buying in or quitting. He doesn't even remotely refer to being leveraged over money.

Well in that case I agree. Since I have better things to do than watch videos of interviews, it might have helped to have more context than the what the OP actually quoted rather extensively. It doesn’t mention anything about leveraging the LSU program.

"we’re not going to negotiate with terrorists,"
Unless the terrorist is a 3B at NC State, or a pitcher at the Air Force Academy, Alabama, UCLA, UC-San Diego etc.....He'll definitely deal with terrorists from other programs if they can help him win games. That's a pretty stupid think for JJ to say. I hate these kids pimping themselves out every summer but it's hard to blame some of these kids who just aren't getting the opportunity at LSU.

Who gets to tell the people living in these red counties in California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Maine, Virginia, Maryland, etc. that they now get to be governed by the liberal overllords in their respective states and that they are no longer protected by the Constitution since you dissolved the USA?

If they can effectively locate it and drop in a 70+ change, 85-88 can be devastating
A change up needs to look like a fastball out of the pitcher’s hand to be effective. A 70 MPH change up that looks like a fastball will land 10 feet in front of the plate. The alternative is worse. You don’t want your pitcher leaving a 70 MPH change up in the strike zone.

In the context of Bob Seger that you referenced, Diddy would have made Seger pick up his dry cleaning if Seger wanted to ever perform again.
What context is that? I read that to understanding is that the OP would boycott artists he liked if they were involved in the same shite that Combs was. Bob Seger is worth probably $50 million and had 10 albums go platinum before anyone ever heard of Combs or any of his stupid nicknames.

No. Insurance should not cover suicide.
I’m not agreeing or disagreeing. But if a person is depressed and decide to cope with their issues by abusing alcohol, drugs, poor diet and other self-destructive behavior, insurance will cover the cost of all the healthcare related medical and psychological treatment in perpetuity.

So question... I was watching last night and the first Florida goal where the guy fell in the crease was challenged and upheld... why don't they do what the NFL does and review all scoring plays automatically? Then Edmonton got a penalty because the challenge failed and Florida scored again. I'm glad they came back and won after that bullshite
I like the rule that awards a power play for an unsuccessful challenge. They give the coaches a fair amount of time to review it before deciding. The worst rule in hockey is when they challenge a goal for offside on plays where the offside had absolutely nothing to do with the goal. They need to tweak that rule. There are instances where play goes on for 20-30 seconds after the offside, the puck gets passed around 10 times, pinned against the boards, everything. And after the goal, the coach can still challenge the goal for offsides.

I hope Cade becomes an all around good catcher, but as of right now (and he’s only a true freshman) being an exceptional defensive catcher like Milazzo was is a huge reach. He’s shown nothing to indicate that.
Defensively, Arrambide's been statistically as good as a freshman as Milazzo was as a senior. Milazzo was a liability offensively. He had 12 extra base hits in 5 seasons. Arrambide has 7 as a true freshman, Hernandez has 20.

Take your time
Those situations were where the head coaches changed who the starting QB would be several times within the season - not unusual at all.
In the early 80's the Dolphins had "Woodstrock". David Woodley would start the game and finish if he played well. but if he struggled, Shula would replace him with Don Strock. Woodley started the 1st game of his rookie year and struggled. He came in relief in the next 2. After that he was the Dolphins starting QB for the next 43 games until Dan Marino made his debut in week 6 of the 1983 season. Strock relieved Woodley in 13 of those games including the epic 41-38 OT playoff game against the San Diego Chargers.

There is a reason you got 19 down votes and zero up votes
Because idiots here downvote posters for no other reason than that they don't like them. They sure as hell don't understand how to catch a flyballwhere outfileders don't have enough time to settle under for the catch. Turning a flyball that can be caught on the run into a diving catch is no different than a WR adjusting his stride to high point a ball or a basketball player adjusting his stride to catch an Alley-oop pass. Except, in those sports adjusting your stride to do those things is necessary. In baseball, to the trained eye, a lot of diving in the outfield is unnecessary. If an outfileder isn't fully extended and mostly horizontal, the ball can usually be caught on the run. But that won't get you on SportsCenter.
