Not fake….unless the dude literally wanted to get hit multiple times in the face.


Guess you’ve never watched professional wrestling before. The way it was shot screamed fake as hell.

They only showed the short guy in the tee at first and never panned to the guy he was yelling at until the big reveal that the guy was huge. Then every punch was done where it was from behind so you couldn’t see any contact.

I’m too lazy to google histories of each school to make a guess, so I’ll ask. Why is Iowa the more popular school?


Four coaches during pivotal times put Iowa way out in front of ISU.

Hayden Fry - rebranded the logo and turned a dumpster fire of a football program around and made them relevant in the sport for the first time in 20 years.

Dan Gable - Dominated the wrestling landscape at Iowa turning them into the powerhouse in the sport. Ironically he wrestled at ISU in college, but Iowa was the college that was able to hire him to coach.

Lute Olson - Got Iowa basketball to their last final four and last regular season big ten championship. However, ISU’s basketball program has passed Iowa’s up at this point.

Vivian Stringer - Put Iowa women’s basketball on the map. The schools first final four and other deep runs in the tourney.

All of this came about when cable TV was taking off and more teams could be on TV, but you still had to be somewhat decent to get on TV. Luckily Iowa had the right coaches in place at the right time to grab a lot of fans that didn’t go to either school.

I watched that video a couple of times and it’s unbelievable how within 30 mins the water can be 20+ feet below and swell to almost overtopping the bridge.


And not just the height but also the width. That is a lot of water.

Just making it very clear that she's an average player, at best


Teams and coaches don’t devise defensive strategies the way they do for Clark the same way they would for average at best players.

So glad it was filmed so his insurance company can deny his claim. I love social media people.


What sucks is that they will probably have enough money to buy three brand new trucks after all the views they get.

Ok that’s 4/8 ahead of her.


And I’m sure those four players get the same amount of defensive pressure and attention that Clark gets.
quote:

She's 54th in the league in FG% and leads the league in turnovers per game. Did you expect her to get a free pass because she's white and (presumably) straight?


But yet no team will dare give her an open look and they pick her up 90 feet from the basket. I don’t see anyone else being guarded like she is.

I’ve never expected LIV to get comparable or more viewers than the PGA Tour, especially in year 4.


You didn’t expect a golf league with unlimited funds to not be bigger than the PGA in year 4? Quit acting like LIV is an underdog in all of this. With LIV’s money they should have been able to squash the PGA by now.

And attendance numbers have not yet been released for the rocket classic. Estimates are 50-70k


Didn’t LIV do a BOGO ticket sale too?
LIV has got to be paying for their air time on Fox right?
Will be interesting to gauge LIV attendance in June in NOLA. Even if I did like LiV, it would be hard for me to go out there during that time of the year. April for the Zurich is already pretty hot.

re: Smoking Chicken Wings- Need advice

Posted by RedHawk on 7/1/25 at 8:55 am
Let your wings dry out uncovered in the fridge for a day or two before cooking or coat them in corn starch before cooking. Or do both.

Smoke them at 350 for about 45 minutes.

Coat them in your favorite sauce or dry rub and serve.

Yep, traffic is even going to be worse than before as hard as that is to believe.

Yes. They signed a Fox tv deal…it is worth a lot. Not NFL/NBA/PGA but a lot


LIV pays the production costs so it wasn’t a lucrative TV deal.

They also handed out guaranteed contracts in the hundreds of millions to lure PGA players to come to LIV. They’ve probably lost close to a billion at this point.

Sounds very restrictive.

I'd be shocked if that one on Sherwood is 6-9 months out. They've been working on it for months already.


This as they are pouring the concrete for the parking lot and drive thru as we speak. I would guess they will be open in a few months.

I’m wondering how much traffic is going to back up into Sherwood because of this place.

I lost 50lbs a few years back and loved telling people about the hard work it took when they asked. "You look great, how did you do it?" "Ran 2 miles a day and really watched what I ate." shite fricking rocks when hard work pays off.


And if you did the same thing today, no one would believe you.
quote:

I take it and lost 50 pounds, but don't talk about it. I'm certainly not ashamed of it, but think it's not anybody's fricking business. I'm not the habit of handing out a list of my medical conditions and prescriptions I'm on, so would should this medication be any different? For people that ask how I lost the weight, I always say "eat less, move more". Both of which are true - since getting on the drug, I definitely eat less and I stared exercising daily at the same time, so both those statements are 100% accurate. Is it a lie that I omitted the fact that I'm on GLP-1? I think not, but again, why the frick is it anybody's business?


They already think you are taking the shot since you lost a large amount of weight. I feel bad for the guy that actually loses a bunch of weight the old fashioned way and no one believes them.
Picked up two myself. Thanks!!
