Yep. And Netflix is down more than double the average. It’s not a difficult thing to wrap your head around. You’re a complete moron. Which is why you can’t seem to understand that simple fact

As I type this at 4:50 Central, the Dow is down 1.66%. Netflix is down 3.37%. But Tesla is down 2.91% as well, almost double the average. Can we attribute that to some "woke" comments by Elon, or is it possible individual stocks move up and down at different amounts

I guess all these "workers" on the live Times Square cam are doing a poor job. Time to break out the flogging

Live TS cam
For those of you with issues, curious what type of device/interface you use to access the app

I had a "dumb" tv that's roughly 15 years old hooked up to an Apple TV for a few seasons now. I can probably count on one hand the number of issues I've had over the years, and every time a simple reboot cleared it up

About a month ago I decided to upgrade and get a new OLED smart TV. The picture is fantastic, and it has all the apps built in using Google Home. So i figured why not consolidate and use the TV apps over the Apple box

These built in things are dog shite. Slow, laggy, buffering issues and youtube tv crashed twice in the first week. I can see now why so many people get frustrated and fed up watching games over the apps, since I'm guessing these days most people have smart TV's with the awful built in apps

Switched back to my Apple TV, haven't had a hiccup since

[Verse 1]
We the people in all we do
Reserve the right to scream "frick you"
(Hey-yeah) ow
(Hey-yeah) huh
"Wear your mask, take your pills"
Now a whole generation's mentally ill
(Hey-yeah) man, frick Fauci
(Hey-yeah)

But COVID's near, it's coming to town
We gotta act quick, shut our borders down
Joe Biden does, the media embraces
Big Don does it and they call him racist

[Chorus]
We the people (ooh, let's go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let's go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let's go Brandon)
We the people

[Verse 4]
frick CNN, frick TMZ
And you social media trolls, y'all can suck on deez (deez)
Deez nuts, that's what's up
We the people (ha-ha)

[Refrain]
If you down with love and wanna make things better
All we gotta do is just come together
Weather the storm, and take my hand
Then follow my lead to the promised land
'Cause we the people, we gotta unite
To follow that good time guiding light
Climb aboard this love boat
And rock that bitch up and down the coast

In order to form a more perfect union
Do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America

[Chorus]
We the people (ooh, let's go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let's go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let's go Brandon)
We the people

Standing up, and standing tall
'Cause it's all for one and it's one for all
All, all, all
We the people (ooh)
We the people
Let's go Brandon
Let's go Brandon
Let's go Brandon
Let's go Brandon

last public school to win state that I know of was Division 1 - Northshore girls in 2020

My daughter was on the Dutchtown team that played in the champ game against SJA back in 2023, same year the Dtown boys lost as well.

Made some public school history with the first team to have both teams in the finals, but unfortunately were outclassed in both games that night.

Just looked through the brackets, it's been a few years since my daughter graduated and last played, but on the girls side the usual suspects are all at the top

But the expansion from 24 to 32 teams, at least at everything below D1, was a dumb idea on the girls side. There aren't enough good teams to provide any type of quality play once you get so low. The top 8 effectively have a bye just like the old days, but now with the added benefit of a chance of injury and the joy of mercy ruling some poor team from 3 hours away before half time.

Archbishop Hannan finished #1 in D3, and their reward is a first round game against a team that is 0-18 on the year. That's not a typo. St Michael's went 5-13-1, and they get to host a first round game.

It's all so dumb, all in the name of "more teams get to qualify and experience the joy of postseason"

Any predictions?

Private schools stacked

Public schools fricked
I notice nowhere on the flyer or twitter does it say "Live", or have any venue info

I'm betting this will be pre-recorded, they might not all even be in the same place
It's been in place almost 10 months, I think we're clear
If anybody else is having Deja Vu and thought this sounded familiar, the SCOTUS ruling happened last year, April 2025.

Even Bill Mitchell is repackaging old news and posting it as "Breaking" these days to drive up clicks and engagement

Video is 10 years ago. Guess they aren’t done

Did they let the baseball sportswriters vote for this?

This seems like their level of pettiness

Amazing how an arrest goes when the perp cooperates. No whistles, no shots fired, no screams of obscenities nor banging on trash cans.

Video is almost a year old. Depending on where this was, I'm guessing now there would be some morons running out of the house and trying to disrupt the process.
The easy fix is the one that unfortunately no one would never go for

Open the portal Feb 1. That eliminates the need for coaches to even consider leaving jobs in season, and puts all teams on an even playing field in regards to those that go on deep playoff runs.

New players show up in summer like they almost always did up to a few years ago

Losing spring practice is the "price" of transferring

it will never happen because it's somewhat of a negative outcome, and as we've seen lately anything that even resembles a negative outcome for players is considered illegal and not tolerable.

I’d like to see how an EO can tell private entities like ESPN and FOX when they can and can’t show games
The out of bounds on the first down run really skewed things there
4 clock stoppages and 3 minutes. Rams need 3 first downs to win?
