re: How much $$$ does ESPN lose a year pimping WNBA and WCBB
Posted by BornKjun on 3/2/25 at 7:49 pm
I think you have it wrong.
How did advertisers like Ally Bank lose bankrolling ESPN’s promotion of WNBA, etc.
I might be wrong but I think ESPN is just following advertiser demand.
Advertisers got dumber during 2020 like a lot of others got dumber in 2020

How to get Denmark to sell Greenland (maybe)
Posted by BornKjun on 2/14/25 at 1:59 am
I have a brother who lives in Denmark so this is in part the reason it's an interesting story to me.
In short, I see how Greenland being apart of the US makes a lot more sense than being apart of Denmark. The US is capable of taking advantage of its strategic access to the artic immensely more than Denmark, for instance.
What's Greenland worth?
According to this article ( LINK) Greenland is worth somewhere between $12.5 billion and $77 billion.
How to get Denmark to sell?
Go directly to the Danish people.
The U.S. should start publicly suggesting that the Danish government should give every Greenlander and Danish citizen the proceeds from the sale of Greenland.
^ This should put pressure on the Danish government to sell Greenland as the citizens will quickly choose receiving the proceeds over any nationalistic reason to keep Greenland from an ally.
I did the math. The U.S. could buy Greenland for about $60.4 billion (recall previous estimate) and every Dane AND Greenlander would recieve $10,000.
This would be equivalent to just under $113 per acre for Greenland.
My brother in Denmark has a wife and two kids. They would recieve $40k in this scenario. I think most people in a home of four would choose $40k over keeping Greenland.
Thus, if the US really wants Greenland, (1) they should be willing pay what it's worth; (2) pressure the Danish government to give the proceeds to the people and be vocal about it.

What is the SEC Rant’s opinion on UGA
Posted by BornKjun on 1/22/25 at 8:34 pm
UGA beat Texas twice. Hard to say Texas was the better team.
However, UGA had a close one against GA Tech and lost to Notre Dame.
So, is it as simple as they lost their starter? Did the backup cost UGA the ND game.
I’d expect most would say UGA v Ohio State would have been a better championship game.
I’m not sure why UGA didn’t make it. What are your thoughts on what happened to UGA at the end of the season?

Notre Dame. (Mary, Mother of God)
—— Our Lady of Guadeloupe
—— Our Lady of Lourdes
Ole Miss. (Mother of the home)
Alma Mater.
… SirWinston, you claimed not to know what Notre Dame meant. Did you know “mater” means “mother”?

How much money did Bama make the SEC?
Posted by BornKjun on 12/8/24 at 12:12 am
By losing to Vandy and OU who are now now 6-6 teams and who would have been 5-7 otherwise?
Auburn, they just couldn’t let you be the third would-be 5-7 get their sixth win. Too much hate there.

re: Why is Bama ahead of Ole Miss?
Posted by BornKjun on 12/7/24 at 9:45 am
Just making the case:
Alabama is 4-1 against SEC teams with winning conference records, including a road win at LSU. Losses were all road games.
Ole Miss is 2-1 against SEC teams with a winning conference record, including a road win against SC. They are 2-2 if you want to include Florida. They have a home loss to Kentucky.
More wins against the winning SEC teams. No home losses.
Bama schedule is stronger and has the same record. Apparently who you beat is more valuable than you you lost to. Worst loss is probably Ole Miss at home versus UK any ways.

Anyone else bombarded with fake stories from SI about trade rumors?
For a few weeks my phone chrome browser has been promoting nonstop fake articles about trade rumors that have no chance of happening.
Iylts the only type of SI article I see.
In essence, it seems SI is in the internet click bait business.
How many years are there before SI goes away for good?

re: Free Money: Clemson +1.5 vs SMU
Posted by BornKjun on 12/1/24 at 12:00 pm
SMU has NOT played Miami, Clemson, Syracuse or Georgia Tech.
Only ACC teams with a winning record they played are Louisville (W by 7) and Duke ( W by 1).
I like Clemson easily

re: Ole Miss should be in if SMU wins ACC. USC is also more deserving than Bama.

Carolina was dominating LSU and lost Sellers during towards the end of the game.
Wouldn’t be a discussion if Carolina didn’t lose.
LSU would rather play Ole Miss again than Carolina. Both have good defenses but Carolina was destroying LSU most of the game.

Strangely, there was a Maddie Watson from Baton Rouge/Parkview who played for SLU.

Hawaii player gets called for targeting after sitting for targeting
Posted by BornKjun on 11/9/24 at 10:26 pm
A guy for Hawaii had to miss the first half of tonight’s game because of a targeting call last weekend. His first time on the field tonight was the second half kickoff. He was called for targeting even though it was a fair catch. He hit one of the blockers.

Heard a version of this on Walton & Johnson this morning:
Have heard about the women saying they won't have sex anymore because men voted for Trump? Maybe a lot the Latina women who are about to be deported will try to get married so they can stay and do the job Americans don't want to do.

re: Does the board owe an apology to White Women?

In 2020, 55% of WW voted for Trump.
In 2024, 52% of WW voted for Trump.
Don't thank white women.
Thank Hispanic men

re: Does the board owe an apology to White Women?
Posted by BornKjun on 11/7/24 at 9:25 am
This needs to be cleared up..
White women don't vote Democrat nationwide.
However, if fewer white women vote Republican than other years, it helps Democrats immensely.
It's not that most vote Dem, it's how wide is the gap. The gap needs to be enough to cover the other Dem vote because usually the other Dem vote is solid.
It's like this year. It's not that a majority of Hispanic voted for Trump, it's that more hispanics voted for Trump than the past.
Trump gaining in Urabn areas, Rural area;; Suburbs are bluer
Posted by BornKjun on 11/5/24 at 7:51 pm
This is correct, right?
The 1-2 punch of urban and rural is enough to defeat the suburban Trump-hater.
More Trump support in the urban area will be key.
Missing something?
Why I don't believe the "abortion" voter will determine the election
Posted by BornKjun on 11/5/24 at 8:18 am
A lot has been said about the abortion vote.
I doubt this effect because it somehow is only being reflected in the "Blue Wall" states apparently.
Ohio, Georgia, Kansas, etc. are more Trump than ever. Why would this voter block make a big impact in Western PA, for example, but Trump dominates Ohio (who has 3 major metros and had an abortion referendum that showed this "red" state has a significant "pro abortion" vote).
Also..
I think this election will be about men, not women. I'm hearing that older women are not supporting Trump to the same level as before. The flip side of that is the I think older men more than make up for this. A good sample is the union polls, etc.
