He did get benched. Kiffin even said he benched him for Barber.
Man, we play Ole Miss again fully healthy for both squads, we beat the brakes off them.
Based on interviews I’ve seen, they make her a victim and “more complicated,” trying to do away with the “evil woman” theme and make her relatable.
Boobs look fake, but maybe not.

If fake at 18, unless she had breast cancer or something, can’t imagine she would be very easy to handle

no that someone is Edwin Akufo. He still hates Obisanya and spent 20 million of his own money keepng him off the national team. Rebecca is the reason his "super league" also fell through this is revenge on Richmond.


This would be great. And Zelda’s reasoning for doing it is that she invested all her money in women’s sports and is getting her arse handed to her. Her way out is Okufu giving her $X to frick over Rebecca.

They telegraphed both of those twists tonight.


They’ve been telegraphing the Zelda deal for weeks.

The Mae deal was obvious when they let her on the bus.

Keeley is just an annoying character and her bombshell shtick is tired. She is not a bombshell. She dresses like a lunatic and the actress is far from a knock out.

That said, the season has been enjoyable, and, while there are some eye rolling girl power moments, for the most part they have kept to the human element of soccer, life in general, heartbreak and joy, the ebbs and flows of sport and how it connects with a lifetime.

It remains a feel good, fun, funny show that I look forward to every week
They were fricking awful.

Gary “Obvious Statement” Danielson and Verne “Keep Your Daughter Away” Lindquist.

Watching a game with them and CBS’s incessant tv timeouts was torturous. A 3 hour game became 4 multiple times, often filled with inane babble from TV’s dumbest duo.

This response is more fart-sniffing arrogance than the Deadline review ever hoped to be. No knock on the response, but it is.

The Deadline review seemed to say the movie was going to be divisive and that’s about it. It may be setting up the movie for an easy excuse if it fails at the box office.

Come on, Mr. 1%. Tell us the secret of your success.


Stay at work til midnight to avoid your wife so she divorces you and takes half your money after your kids are halfway to adulthood and you’ve made partner at the firm, duh.

You’re income is in the 1%, but you get to live in a starter home with wife number 2 while sending the old bitch you now hate $10,000 a month to send Timmy and Sally to private school and to live in the house you bought years ago, while she bangs the phys ed teacher in the bed you used to sleep in.

Meanwhile, wife 2 goes and shops all fricking day and spends all the leftover money you bring home with your big paycheck, but, hey, at least you get to work until you die at your desk from a grabber.

I think butts in seats is essential when first starting out.


This is debated nearly every year at my firm and the only thing I can think of that is hard to replicate in terms of experience is having the young associate on a call in the same room as the partner so he or she can learn during “shadow time” while no one knows he or she is on the phone.

In my mind, this is remediable by simply saying, “Hey, I have my associate on the Teams call. He’s going to be taking notes and learning.” And just being upfront about it. As far as I know, there’s no easy way to have the associate mask his or her presence on a Teams call without being in the room physically.

That’s it. That’s the only “training” that cannot be done over Teams.

In fact, I have had more meaningful conversations and training with partners over Teams at my current firm (and I’ve given more training over Teams at my current firm) than my previous two firms. It is intentionality, not proximity. Senior level folks simply need to be willing to make themselves available to their subordinates.

This may only be relevant to law firms, but I doubt it.

Now, replacing socialization and team bonding? That’s a different story. That requires specific intention to have teams do group meetings, go out together, etc., when remote. Not impossible but not as organic as, “Hey, you wanna grab lunch?”

But, again, my prior two firms were not willing to do that. Everyone ordered door dash and worked through lunch, doors closed, heads in computers.

Perhaps I failed to mention that these young people are attorneys. Out of school less than 2 years. Attorneys who leave at 5 are not employed very long.


As a lawyer myself, I fricking hate this mentality.

Often, I would go home and crack my laptop open again anyway because lawyers are on call all day long.

If you need them in the office past 5pm, make that office policy, but have a good reason.

I had a firm that said, “If you go home at 5pm to relieve your nanny, then I have to rely on the other people who stay later to get work done that I may have given to you.”

To which I replied, “About 150 years ago, a device was invented called the telephone. You can pick that up and call me.”

I didn’t last long at that firm. :lol:

But, needless to say, I didn’t think the reason he gave was very good. The next job was better for my family and my sanity.

You can run your firm however you’d like, but understand it won’t sit well with everyone and they will leave until you find people that like it. But lack of flexibility in an era when flexibility is valued is not going to go well for the firm.
Proven that fluorescent light is hard on the eyes and generally shitty to work in.

Earbuds are to keep them focused because the work they do for you is boring as shite and they need constant stimulus.

Leaving at 5pm sharp because they have discovered their corporate overlords don’t give a single frick about them and staying to improve the company’s bottom line is not worth it to them for a glimmer of a hope that they get a raise or promotion instead of being able to go home and be with friends or family or rub one out.

They are all getting canned by AI apparently anyway, so they figure what’s the point?

Hard to blame the near nihilism they suffer from. It is rampant throughout the world.
Left Louisiana for Texas as a young man for better work opportunities.

Left Texas for another state after the work opportunity no longer needed to be tied to a location.

Hate Texas. Louisiana is just in shambles.

Wife talks about missing home (Louisiana), but the only way I’m moving back to Louisiana is if I get a 7 figure job that allows me to work remote for most of the year.

Iowa sounds pretty nice. And again, I would make more money with less restriction.


Shockingly expensive.

Also, flat and uninhabited and cold.

If you want uninhabited, cold and flat, at least move to Wyoming where you can escape to the mountains.

There was a ducktales reboot that failed


You shut your whore fricking mouth, whore.

The new DuckTales was fricking awesome. Bobby Moynihan, Danny Pudi and Ben Schwartz are gold in that show, nevermind the incredible David Tennant.

It lasted 3 seasons. Not a bad run at all. Hardly a failure.

And it deserved more.
I remember when we wanted to bust monopolies because the “free market abhors consolidated power” and keeps products from being controlled by a single entity with no need to compete against others.

Now we celebrate a fricking billionaire buying more shite to make more billions.

Interesting times.
The defense that could stop him was the defense in the second half of the game that was without its starting nickel.

Played chickenshit defense to start the game and when LSU started trying to actually defend instead of simply contain, surprise surprise LSU whooped his arse.
They normally give reasons, like the likelihood of getting a job after a degree.

Louisiana’s job market hasn’t been great but recent news indicates that could be shifting.

US News also puts an emphasis on diversity, difficulty getting in, etc.

A lot of it isn’t strictly how good the school is.
