re: Boomers and long-term impact on younger generations

People in the 60s and 70s had a war and gas shortage and 20+% interest rates. The hippies blamed old people and old people said the new generation was soft.

90s had the dot.com bust and aids and desert storm. Younger kids did the counter culture movement, but not as much complaining.

2000s had 9/11 and the great financial crisis. There was the occupy Wall Street/99%ers, then we had Covid in 2020 and here we are now electing socialist.

Basically, life is always tough for everyone. It’s tougher if you’re lazy or stupid. Every generation blames the one before and every generation thinks the ones after them are lazy or soft. Don’t fall into that trap of blaming someone else for your problems.

That being said, as a Gen Xer, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone complain more than young people today. Not sure if it’s because of social media and more places for them to bitch, or if it’s more that victimization has become in vogue.

You're so right!

Astros had the best record in the AL for July, and the Rangers matched them, to stay 2 games ahead. What a race for the AL West!

Who is Trooper Taylor?
Your favorite bag man's favorite bag man.

Currently RB coach at A&M. Has spent time as RB/WR coach at A&M, Memphis, Duke, Arkansas State, Auburn, Oklahoma State, Tulane, New Mexico, and Baylor. Has been investigated by the NCAA for recruiting violations countless times. He's basically a caricature of the 2000-2020 RB/WR coach.

He became famous for being a bagman while at Auburn when the SEC West had lots of stories about assistants who were considered super recruiters. I remember reading about Trooper having a house he let his players use to take girls. The article made it sound like the White House the 90's Cowboys used. Trooper was the WR coach at Auburn. In 2010, he got Louisiana's top recruit, Trovon Reed and his teammate Greg Robinson of Thibodaux, to Auburn. Pretty sure Trooper's name was on the list for a party their "mentor" threw after Robinson committed. Clay Travis' old site had pictures of the invitation to the commitment party. The article with the picture said the mentor was a tire installer at Walmart who took the kids to various schools for their visits. He was probably one of the guys that got paid for working camps when that was permitted. Robinson was the kid who posted pictures he took with his new i-phone while on his Auburn visit.

With the way he was raised, Blaise probably thinks he's some kind of victim.

quote:
Auburn Assistant Coach Trooper Taylor and his family have settled their lawsuit with the Auburn City School District. A joint statement released read:

"The Auburn City Schools Board of Education and the Taylor family are pleased that the lawsuit between the parties has been dismissed. The Board and the Taylors will continue to discuss ways to improve participation and the overall experience for students participating in all sports at Auburn High School, including a review of all policies and rules for team membership. Presently, a uniform policy across all sports for grooming of athletes is being developed such that, upon approval by the Board, all sports will operate under one policy. The Board also looks forward to Blaise Taylor's future participation in athletics at AHS."

Taylor's 9th grade son Blaise was cut from the Auburn High School JV Basketball team due to his refusal to remove his cornrows. ...

he practice is definitely dumb because they are all just mouthpieces for the teams they are breaking news on.

Unfortunately, the public at large eats their shite up which is why they are getting the money that they do.

I wonder how Mark Stein is doing with his substack subs? I am surprised no media outlet is using him.

Not sure what it's like now, but he used to be one of the most trusted guys with NBA players. He knew everything before most people used too. He played soccer with Steve Nash's brother at Santa Clara. He was close friends with Nash and Dirk. He was trusted by lots of other players because of those friendships.

I'm having trouble watching the draft tonight because of who ESPN has covering it.

have no idea why the NHL needs expansion. A 34-team league is going to be so watered down.

I feel like it's already watered down enough to hurt every team's depth. Not enough super-talented players to stay a contender with a couple of injuries. Just think how good your team would be with your worst player gone and one more superstar added to the roster.

He didn't score the winning TD. It was the winning two-point play. Then he proposed.

Damn, he had to hire security for their wedding because Bama fans made death threats because he is black and she is white. Sad stuff right there.

Never played a down even though his wiki says he played for five teams in two years. How do you get a profile if you never played.

I quit watching the only game I've watched because of it. Guys wasn't moving and the announcers were talking about how serious the injury was. As they got him to where they were about to disappear into a tunnel, the dude sat up waving and smiling. F soccer.
