I had to double check the dates and make sure someone didn’t bump a thread from January :lol:

On the chance you’ve been in coma or out of the country the Saints signed a RB in free agency for 4/$52M, not even Mickey Loomis would be stupid enough to draft a RB at 8 after that

Like Democratic Presidents have always done?

I would agree the Democrats/ left in general tend to be worse of failing to grasp that massive expansion of Federal government power will one day be used by the other party, a lesson crystal clear with this President, The question is should we oppose overreach as a matter of principle or do you just oppose it when it’s the other side because that’s a really terrible way to govern.

If it's broad, and it is a restriction of general funds then it might stand up to a challenge.

This would be a disaster on many levels.

However, it's worth a fight

It seems to be the biggest problem is some, most older men, don’t like it. People not liking the transfer portal or NIL doesn’t make them a problem per se. Someone need to articulate the downsides, how it’s harmful and on the players or sport.

Universities which take federal funding are absolutely subject to federal regulation. If a University wants to forgo all public funds and make up their own rules they certainly can.

This executive order is designed to strong arm universities into "voluntary" compliance by withholding funds. Schools cannot both simultaneously claim to be private organizations hat can do whatever they want while also taking tax payer money.

I really can’t wait until the next time there’s a D in the White House and they use arguments like this :lol:

I didn't know that, and I couldn't tell! I've never seen Dominic West in anything else.

Was it S2 when he was going under cover and was practicing a bad-fake British accent? That has a whole new light if you know he’s British :lol:
He’s in 300 and Rock Star is pretty good.

I knew Idris Elba was British going in, and I thought he did a pretty good job with his accent.

I didn’t know him and if I have one nit pick with the Wire it’s his accent, he just doesn’t sound “hood” imo. But it’s such a great character that can be overlooked

Are you tied down and forced to watch like Alex in A Clockwork Orange?



If not pick up one of these, universal remote, $8.69 at WalMart, probably cheaper with your employee discount as a door greeter.

They ain't playing for free.

No one does, that doesn’t make it a “money grab” which kind of implies mailing it in or desperately needing cash which I don’t think is the case.

listening to interviews over the years I think Geddy and Alex wanted to keep recording and touring but Neil did not, they had to talk him into to doing the R40 tour, Neil wanted to retire after the Clockwork Angels tour. They have also mentioned they did not get to do a real tribute to Neil after his passing because Covid hit. When they played together for the first time in years at the Taylor Hawkins tribute I believe them when they say they were rejuvenated, I think they just want to play again, so they do a tour to celebrate 50 years and honor Neil, nothing wrong with that even though they will make money.

*And please note the cost of the tickets is distorted by secondary markets, the face value is inline with concerts these days.

How did that happen?

Well Arkansas joined the conference in 1992 and they were loaded under Nolan Richardson for a while. Pitino had Kentucky rolling peaking with an all time great team in 96 he went back to the NBA a year later but left a team so loaded Tubby Smith won a title. This was before the transfer portal btw.

Not sure what massive point you think you are making, no one ever said at no point in history was the SEC goos in MBB but it did fall off for a bit, Sankey hired Mike Tragresse (former Big East commissioner) to consult about improving MBB ffs :lol: his basic advise was put more resources into *please note that was not about spending on players, but on the overall programs. The biggest piece of that is of course coaches but also into facilities and the overall program. The player budgets is new and a separate issue. I would argue LSU hiring Wade the first time was part of part of the overall conference putting more emphasis and resources into MBB and it’s clearly been better since then.
